"I need to meet the Division Commander. I want to prove myself," Souta said.
"This early...?!" Eleni's eyes widened in surprise. From her perspective, he had just recently become a Hero Candidate.
"Are you sure about this?"
Souta nodded, his expression serious.
Eleni studied him for a moment before saying, "Follow me."
Souta followed Eleni through several halls, taking a few turns before arriving at a majestic room—the office of a Division Commander, one of the higher-ups of Athena's Champion.
"Chief Captain Eleni of the Second Set Pallas Division is here with the Hero Candidate. Please grant us permission to enter, Sir," Eleni announced, bowing her head slightly.
Souta mirrored Eleni's actions. Despite the wall covered in runes, the perception of a Division Commander could bypass such barriers.
The door emitted a mechanical sound before slowly opening.
Eleni glanced at Souta and nodded.
