"Awwoooo~!"

With a pitiful howl, a white figure slipped free from Anton’s grasp.

Left in his hand was just a tuft of fur yanked from the creature’s tail.

The proud young dragon stood up slowly, letting the fur drift from his fingers, carried off by the wind.

“Anton, we’re already into the assessment. Why are you still so unfocused?” Yuna approached him, her tone a bit reproachful. “Arctic snow foxes are rare finds! Catching one would’ve given us a huge boost in our assessment scores.”

Anton clapped his hands, brushing off the stray fox fur, and shrugged indifferently. “No matter how rare, it’s still just a Class B threat. Catching a critter of that level isn’t challenging at all.”

"You—!"

Yuna was exasperated. She was out of patience with him.@@novelbin@@

Their two other teammates stepped in, trying to smooth things over.

“Don’t worry, Yuna. It’s just a snow fox. We’ll probably come across another one,” said a girl named Diane, one of Yuna’s close friends.

The other boy, Raymond, slung his arm over Anton’s shoulder with a grin. “My buddy’s got all sorts of tricks up his sleeve. Catching a snow fox is child’s play; it doesn’t matter if this one got away.”

Raymond looked rugged, but his manner showed that he was actually quite thoughtful and good-natured.
