From Shadows, I Devour All - Episode 6

At the class graduation briefing the teacher announces the trial realm: slay beasts for points, top three earn elixirs, and first place wins early university admission and a stability elixir; a mindstone that boosts willpower is rumored inside. Natalie shows up with a rapidly evolved bloodbound flea, now Qyren, and classmates mock her while one offers a deal—be his girlfriend for a year to become a Level 2 tamer. When a rival commands an attack to humiliate her, Qyren defends Natalie with thorny armor and injures the bully. The realm opens and everyone enters, leaving Natalie's sudden advantage and peer threats unresolved.
