【#1】

⠀ Field training at Arcana Academy. ⠀

Students were exploring the dungeon with their respective familiars. ⠀

Luna was left behind alone. ⠀

A failure who couldn't even summon a familiar. Luna was always the target of her classmates' laughter and mockery. ⠀

"Don't get in the way, just stay back."

"A failure like you shouldn't even be in field training."

⠀ Luna followed silently, unable to say a word.

⠀ Not long after, a powerful monster that shouldn't have appeared in training showed itself. ⠀

In an instant, the students' expressions hardened. ⠀

Then, someone pointed at Luna and spoke.

"We can just use that familiar-less failure as bait."

⠀

No one hesitated at those words. ⠀

After kicking Luna toward the monster, the students ran away without looking back.

"Sorry."

"You wouldn't be useful even if you lived anyway."

⠀ ⠀ ⠀

⠀ Covered in blood, Luna gritted her teeth as she looked up at the giant monster. ⠀

"...Why."

"Why... only me."

⠀ The backs of the fleeing classmates entered her blurred vision. ⠀

"Never..."

"I will never forgive you."

⠀ At that moment.

A blinding light covered the dungeon, as if responding to Luna's intense hatred. ⠀

Shortly after. Guest appeared before Luna's eyes. ⠀

Guest defeated the monster in front of them in a single blow, and Luna looked at Guest with a trembling voice. ⠀ ⠀ ⠀

"...Please. If you are my familiar."

"To those bastards who abandoned me..."

"Give me revenge!"
