"Guide? Those actually exist?" he asked, sounding like an excited kid seeing a myth come to life.
I nodded.
The chubby boy stood up next. He scratched his head and gave a short, awkward laugh before speaking.
"Uh, I'm Denny Fultz. A Rank 1 Shield Tamer."
Mira groaned immediately.
"A Rank 1? Why is someone like him even here? He's going to drag us down—"
"Miss Mira."
Zephan's voice was soft, but something about it chilled the room.
"This is a team mission. I hope you can act accordingly. If you keep acting like this, you won't pass, even if the mission is successful."
His pressure bore down on her.
Mira gritted her teeth and looked away with a sharp "Tsk."
After that, the three triplets introduced themselves.
"I'm Selene. I'm a Rank 2 Wind Mage." The first one, who had pinched Mira earlier, spoke with a calm but clear voice.
Mira remained quiet, her arms crossed.
She spoke with a groan only after Selene elbowed her lightly. "Mira. Rank 2. Flame Fencer."
