The students and teachers hadn't split up, despite how massive the shrine truly was, which, in Raze's opinion, was a smart decision.
None of them knew the true level of this dimension. With the students lacking real combat experience, it was far safer to keep them grouped together.
Rather than encountering beasts, which oddly seemed absent so far, the students had focused on exploring and searching for artifacts.
They began in the area they had first arrived at: a grassy, rectangular section of land. The space was littered with collapsed crates, shattered pots, and even what looked like fragments of broken weapons jammed into the ground. The students began digging, investigating the debris to see if anything valuable remained.
Some used their magic to assist in the process. Since the teachers hadn't forbidden it, the rest assumed it was a valid method of searching.
"How do we even know we'll come across an artifact in the first place?" Chiba asked, skeptical.
