Suddenly, Nayoung raised her hand in excitement and spoke up loudly, "You know?! Taming is actually getting really trendy these days! I read an article about it!"
Everyone turned to her, and she continued, her eyes shining, "I'm so excited! If I ever awaken, I want to be a Tamer too! And I already know what I want to tame!"
She clapped her hands and said proudly, "I want to tame a giant rat! Like, really huge with red eyes!"
The group froze for a second.
One girl scrunched her face. "Eww, a rat?"
Another boy whispered, "That's creepy…"
A few others giggled, and one even laughed out loud. "Why a rat? Of all the animals?"
Nayoung pouted, crossing her arms. "Hey! Don't laugh! Rats are smart! They can sneak into places, spy on people, and—imagine riding one into battle!"
The class couldn't stop laughing now, and even Elshienne covered her mouth to hide her smile.
