It’s been a day since Altea turned into a different world. In just one day, five lives were lost.
The fierce battle between Yuuma and the 1st floor group and Haizaki, who divided the 6th grade group, ended with a tough victory for Yuuma. However, shortly after breathing, a further emergency broke out. Kisanuki, another monster user who has worked with him so far, has bare his fangs.
As his classmates are being captured one after another by Kisanuki, someone whispers to Khonken, who is tormented by a sense of helplessness.
“Little boy, do you want to be strong? — Then give your blood.”
