Merlin hurried back to camp. It was one thing to venture further into the woods alone, it was another to expose himself to an armed creature, regardless of whether it was bleeding or not. The Tower wasn’t Earth, and even though, technically, it was all a simulation, since it had been cleared already, it was still a test. He had to do the right things at the right time so that he didn’t compel a professor to force quit the test. Thankfully, besides the System converting the test to a quest, it was yet to enter a rebellious phase like it had done with the knights in his physical assessment test. Everything was good for now, hopefully it stayed that way, but he had a hand to play in that. However, leaving the dragonman unattended was not the wisest of options too. It was possible that before Merlin was able to explain the situation to the rest of his team and bring them to the location of the dragonman, it would have sauntered away. Which was why he had left Blue to watch over the dragonman, serving as his eyes and ears. If the dragonman moved, Blue would follow, pinpoint its new location, then rush over to Merlin and alert him. That was the plan. Merlin bumbled out of the woods to meet the fire they had lit in the center of their camp on the verge of losing its kindle, and everyone still sound asleep. He paused to catch his breath as he thought of who he was to wake first. He obviously couldn’t start screaming for everyone to get up. That would be abrasive and rude of him. So he made his decision not long after. Senior Hyunwoo was a guy like he was; it was easier to walk into a fellow man’s tent and wake him up than a lady’s. In other words, he passed on heading to Senior Sun-Hee first. “Merlin?” Senior Hyunwoo said groggily as he sat up. His hair was a mess, but that much was to be expected when one slept on grass. “Is there a problem?” “I found something,” said Merlin. “In the woods.” Senior Hyunwoo cleared his eyes and shook his head, shaking his apparent exhaustion away. “What did you find?” he asked as he reached for his Grimoire and his pouch, strapping them to his waist. Merlin hadn’t seen it before—hadn’t actually been bothered to spy on the lad’s Grimoire actually—but it was dark-brown, the color of a C-Class Mage’s Grimoire. For a moment there, Merlin’s mind flew back to the words of Kim Yiseo’s father: Guildmaster Hyeonki, back at the Consortium Guild. He still couldn’t believe that his mana had been leveling up just as he did, and now he had the same mana as a C-Class Mage. And that couldn’t even compare to the fact that he had almost attuned to a Hex, whatever had happened there. Honestly, the Guildmaster being yet to contact him was eating into him fiercely. But there was nothing he could do about it. And, right now, he had something more important to focus on. “A humanoid dragon,” Merlin replied to Senior Hyunwoo’s question with the simplest description he could think of. “It held a spear, and was injured. I think it’s, maybe, the warrior of a certain tribe in this Tower.” Senior Hyunwoo blinked and immediately rose to his feet. “Wake your mates. I’ll get Sun-Hee.” Merlin nodded and bolted out of Senior Hyunwoo’s tent. He rushed into his fellow guys’ tents first, waking them up, and used the racket that ensued from their murmuring to wake the girls up. Then they all gathered around the pile of charred wood that remained from the bonfire having lost its light. “As you all have heard,” Senior Hyunwoo started, “Merlin found something. A surviving species in all this desolation. We all haven’t been in a Tower before, but, like I said, unlike a Dungeon, it’s comparable to a city. What I’m trying to say is, the creature Merlin saw, will most likely be a single one from a hamlet. To find out how to clear this Tower, we’ll have to communicate with it like we would a person if we migrated from one country to another.” “So, it’s not a monster?” Park Yuri asked as she dug her fingers into her blonde hair, smoothening it befo
