Synopsis

The chapter opens with the announcement that summoned monsters are loose in the academy, a result of failed experiments by older students or professors. This leads to an immediate state of panic with one student being captured by a vine monster. The faculty provides a lackluster response, offering only a warning to be careful. Students discuss their dissatisfaction and some suspect the monsters may have been deliberately released, given the seemingly inadequate response by the faculty, suggesting a potentially sinister underlying motive.
