Nobody spoke, and the entire forest suddenly felt very quiet. Alex blinked, "I'm sorry, what?"
The student swallowed nervously.
"Our supplies."
Cassien smiled.
"Please tell me you're joking. You have to be, right? It's just a harmless prank."
"I wish I were."
Ren immediately dropped his backpack.
"YOU MEAN ALL OF THEM?!"
The student nodded carefully.
"The food."
Nod.
"The medical kit."
Nod.
"The water purifier?"
Nod.
"The tents?"
Another nod.
Alex stared blankly. "How the hell do you steal tents?"
"I don't know!"
For the first time since the battle ended, Olivia's expression darkened.
"You watched someone steal everything?"
The student nearly looked ready to cry.
"I thought he belonged to our class!"
"You thought wrong."
"Clearly!"
Cassien rubbed his forehead. The [Grave Maw] nearly killed them. A B-Rank monster. A giant wolf from hell itself.
