"Hound..." Two male students shivered and collapsed to the ground, as if they had lost all strength in their bodies.
Maria was still retching miserably, completely unaware that some kind of horrifying evil creature was crawling out at a sharp angle from her body.
Then a long tongue shot out of the hound's mouth, piercing Maria's body and cutting off her retching sounds at her throat. Her body seemed to stiffen in an instant, entering the same hazy state as if being invaded by the mutations of the Spiritual Tree.
She was then dragged into the void.
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAH!" Seeing Maria suddenly disappear, the two male students finally woke up from their daze, crying and scrambling to the door, frantically and vainly pounding on it.
"It's the Hound!!!"
"Let us out!!!"
"Open the door quickly!!"
Mia was utterly speechless at them. You yell "There's a Hound" in here, and even if there were people outside, who would dare open the door for us?
