A "Anomaly-grade" Mutated Monster had suddenly appeared, catching the four teams completely off guard.
But seeing that the two teaching assistants watching from above had no intention of coming down to help, Suren was more than happy to stand aside and watch the show.
The students had seen specimens of Zombie Anomalies at the academy and had practiced tactics for dealing with Anomalies, but this was their first time seeing a living one.
Although they were somewhat flustered, these students undeniably had a solid grasp of theory and handled the situation with considerable competence.
The four teams coordinated with one another. The Heavy Mechanical Department students slowed the Anomaly's charge, while everyone else searched for cover and concentrated their fire on the BOSS.
However, it was not just the Anomaly. The moment it appeared, the Mutated Monsters lurking in the darkness also charged out like mad.
In an instant, the students were submerged beneath a tide of monsters.
Fortunately, the academy's combat suits had excellent defensive power. Otherwise, the impact of this first clash alone would have caused casualties among these inexperienced students.
While everyone else was engaged in a tense battle, Suren noticed a furtive gaze glancing in his direction from within the crowd.
Looking closely, he saw a fat student far away giving him an innocent little look. It was as if that gaze could speak: Brother, remember to look after me!
Suren was both amused and exasperated, but he understood the look and nodded at the fellow.
After all, this was an elite class. The students were not as helpless as they seemed.
After a brief moment of confusion, the captains of the four teams finally reacted and began arranging their formation according to the tactics they had practiced every day.
"Form a defensive formation! Triangular formation!"
