"This..." Adrian began, momentarily speechless, but he quickly recovered. "The Boss of the simulation is far above the Divine stage---"
"---So?! What if it is above that stage?" the Dean cut him off sharply, his voice leaving no room for argument. "You lost because of your own carelessness and lack of skill. Now, simply watch and learn as the others find a way to defeat it."
"You...?" Adrian stammered, utterly dumbfounded by the Dean's dismissive response.
".....?!"
The rest of the students exchanged bewildered glances, completely taken aback by the Dean's seemingly callous attitude.
The Dean walked with measured steps towards the large monitor displaying the ongoing simulation. His gaze fixed on the formidable armored Fox on the screen.
