Outside the First-Years Tower, all the senior Battlers were waiting for the green light to go and recruit first-year students. This such recruitment is also know as the "Rookie Hunt". A teacher with golden-brown hair was speaking to the senior Battlers through a megaphone to explain the Hunt Treaty.

"The Hunt Treaty: While recruiting first-year Battlers, please also be mindful of your fellow Battlers. Make sure you give each other room, be kind, and be mindful of others." Said the teacher before he flung the megaphone into the air, "Now then... That's it for the niceties. Go crush everyone that gets in your way! Five... Four... Three... Two... One. Let the Rookie Hunt officially commence!"

And with that, the upper class student didn't waste any more time and hurried into the First-years Tower. Likely driven by madness, the seniors all ran through the hallways in search of freshman students. Speaking of which, a wolf-like demon towered over Isabelle, Ryūko, and Iruma asking with a roar: "Where are all the first-years?!"

Luckily, Asmodeus and Lavande fended the canine demon off. That senior didn't have another option but to leave.

"Really, how dare you?" Questioned Asmodeus and Lavande.

"That was awesome! Thanks, Azz and Lavande !" Said Iruma and Isabelle.

"Thank you, Asmodeus and Lavande." Said Ryūko, still with her additional eyes and exoskeletal carapaces on.

"But of course, upperclassman or not, no one's rude to you in front of us." Said Asmodeus.

"Look over there." Said one of the upperclassmen pointing at Asmodeus and Lavande, "No doubt about it. That's Asmodeus and Félin!"

"Yeah, the first in their class!" Said another upperclassman, "Please, join our Battler!"

The fire demon ignited a small flame on his hand and blew it on a flyer held by one of the seniors, which then burned up.

Both superior first-years spun around to form a barrier of fire and a ring of poisonous black rose thorns around their group.

"He burnt my flyer!"

"He put up a flame barrier and she put a thorn ring around the fires! Who do they think they are?"

"So cool!"

"Let's find someone else."

Finally, the upperclassmen left their group alone. The said team walked through the corridors as Asmodeus and Félin explain this Rookie Hunt.

"The Rookie Hunt is only allowed 66 minutes on the day the ban of Battler Trial periods is lifted after lunch break." Explained Asmodeus.

"Certain upperclassmen are, in particular, quite forceful in terms of hiring new recruits each year." Continued Lavande. "Worry not of our group's safety. We are sure that the wall of flames and cage of thorns will deter any rambling."

Well, the flame and thorn barrier is still surrounding them, Lavande touched her thorns without pain as Clara took out a skewer with marshmallows on it to roast over the fire.

"Marshmallow, toot, toot, yay, fire!" Chanted Clara before eating her snack. Asmodeus told her to stop that as Ryūko stops with her spider features' appearances and looked around with Iruma.

They saw two upperclassmen try to persuade a junior.

"Hey, man, we're the Flight Battler." Said a demon with his wings out.

"Yeah. Come check us out." Requested another member of the Flight Battler.

"I can't, guys. I'm really weak. Sorry." Said the first-year.
