In the book, the Scar made a name for themselves by stealing the key, which they used to attack the Empire's capital, but they did something even more notorious.
They triggered a Great Dungeon right in the Academy, in the Field Zone.
Unclear Dungeons will collapse and spew out monsters, but they usually have a time limit set to be cleared before such things happen.
A Great Dungeon, on the other hand, won't last a week before it needs to be cleared. But what makes it even more dangerous is the monsters inside; they don't follow the rank of the dungeon.
Dungeons are ranked from E to S. Each rank has low and high.
So a Great Dungeon might be an E rank on the outside but have S rank monsters on the inside.
In the book, the Great Dungeon that was triggered was a setup to let the main character power up as he watched his friends nearly beaten to death.
