World's Fastest Level up!

Feeling as if her leg was seized by something, Hana fell on the spot. When she turned, there was an ivy repeatedly entwining her ankle, because of that, she couldn't even stand up.

"Ivy? Why is there something like this on my feet…! No, rather than that, I have to quickly release it and chase after everyone!"

However, because it took some time to remove the entangled ivy, everyone had already gone ahead.

At this rate, I will be left behind. Thinking like that, Hana tried to raise her voice to have everyone wait for her.

"Everyone! Please wai–Mmm!"

But suddenly, the Ivy closed the mouth of Hana this time, as if stopping her who was going to call for help.

(No way! Even though it's not the time for this! My distance from everyone keeps getting farther! I have to quickly release this–)

As she was desperately trying to release it, the Ivy suddenly slipped off as if losing its power.

"Cough, cough, cough. Why did it remove itself all of a sudden? No, rather than that, I have to quickly chase everyone–!"

The disaster didn't end just like that as a huge wall suddenly appeared in front of Hana, who stood up and desperately tried to escape. No, that wasn't a wall, but a Trent!

"Please get down!"

"tsu!"

–Hearing those words, Hana reflexively jumped back. Then, a slow attack from the Trent falls onto the place where Hana previously stood.

"….Haa, Haa"

Just by thinking about what would happen if she was late to dodge, the trembling of her body couldn't be stopped.

Then, Yanagi, who was across, approached the trembling Hana.

"I’m sorry. Because the Trent suddenly changed its aim from me, my response was delayed."

"…Y-yes"

"It is very regrettable, but the road to Katagiri-san and the others has been blocked. Now that it has become like this, I think it will be difficult to chase after them…"

"No way…!"

Yanagi knitted his eyebrow and said with a regretful expression on his face.

Hearing his words, Hana's heartbeat quickened. Just like what Yanagi said, she couldn’t leave this place anymore. She has to witness the battle between Yanagi and the Trent even when her life was at stake.

Hana was despaired because of that. However, as if having made up his mind, Yanagi suddenly opened his mouth.

"Amane-san, I have one request for you."

"…Eh?"

And then, an unbelievable thing was said from his mouth.

"To get out of this predicament, can you lend me the power of your unique skill_Stock?"
