Even though they are all still shaken by the sudden situation, they begin to take action.
However, for some reason, some students cannot receive Gift, including Yogiri and Tomochika Dannoura. Those students without abilities are left as decoys when a dragon is approaching.
The remaining students are killed one after another by the dragon. yogiri and Tomochika are in danger!
...that was what we thought.
"Die."
