Adam wasted no time going to the student council room at the dawn of lunch. Bursting into the room, he made his entrance.
"Sup!" [Adam]
His sudden outburst startled Jelia and Heru, wondering what he was doing.
"Oh… I was just about to come call you." [Heru]
"It's fine. That means he's motivated to work." [Jelia]
She opened her drawer, bringing out stacks of paper for Adam.
"That's not what I'm here for right now." [Adam]
Jelia gave him a confused look.
"What?" [Jelia]
Adam pointed at Aurora, who was snacking leisurely on the couch.
"Aurora, I want you to be my supervisor for my dungeon raid." [Adam]
Aurora pointed to herself with a bewildered look.
"Me?" [Aurora]
"Yeah, you. You're strong aren't you?" [Adam]
"I guess… but I don't see any reason in babysitting you." [Aurora]
She crossed her arms and turned away.
"If you supervise me, I'll help you out with Roy." [Adam]
Aurora froze, but she collected herself immediately.
"What can a kid like you do?" [Aurora]
Heru snuck up close to Jelia and whispered into her ear.
"Should we be here for this?" [Heru]
"It should be fine." [Jelia]
Adam stared Aurora down, thinking of a way to make her help.
"I… can tell Roy good things about you." [Adam]
"That's very funny. I could just talk to him myself." [Aurora]
"No, actually, you're the funny one. Last time you spoke to him, you ran upstairs. Unlike you, I can at least hold a conversation." [Adam]
"Wha-! You-!" [Aurora]
"Just face it. With the rate you're going, there will be no progress. Not unless you get some help." [Adam]
Aurora seemed embarrassed and angry at the same time, but she waited and thought about it.
"...in…" [Aurora]
"Huh? I couldn't hear you." [Adam]
"I said, FINE!!!" [Aurora]
"Ow! My ears!" [Adam]
He covered his ears, trying to protect what's left of his hearing.
"Are you done?" [Jelia]
"Not yet." [Adam]
"Then hurry it up. We still have work to do." [Jelia]
"Jelia." [Adam]
"Yes?" [Jelia]
"Can you be the senior accompanying my group for the dungeon raid?" [Adam]
Jelia was surprised by his proposal, but she turned him down.
"Sorry, but I'm not a champion. I may be strong, but being a champion is one of the requirements to join." [Jelia]
"Oh… Is that so…?' [Adam]
"If you really need someone, why don't you ask Heru?" [Jelia]
"What?" [Heru] [Adam]
"Heru is a champion?" [Adam]
"Yes, he's a third year champion. He should be able to help you." [Jelia]
"...I'm not confident enough to take on that role." [Heru]
"Please…? I really don't want to go with my teacher." [Adam]
"..." [Heru]
"Just think of it as a request from your underclassman." [Jelia]
"If you put it that way… Then you leave me no choice." [Heru]
"Great! Now that's settled, let's get to work." [Jelia]

After school had ended, Adam went straight for Mr. Frank. After checking the staff room, he instead found him back in class.
"Mr. Frank!" [Adam]
"Whuh?!" [Mr. Frank]
He almost tipped over his cup of coffee at Adam's arrival.
"I found one!" [Adam]
After fixing his posture and making sure his coffee was safe, he faced Adam.
"Found what?" [Mr. Frank]
"People who would come with me to the dungeon." [Adam]
"And who are those people?" [Mr. Frank]
"Aurora, the advisor of the student council." [Adam]
"Before you continue, did you just call her… Aurora?" [Mr. Frank]
"Yeah…?" [Adam]
"Don't you mean, Ms. Aurora?" [Mr. Frank]
"...No one cares." [Adam]
"Adults care." [Mr. Frank]
"Well I'm not an adult." [Adam]
"...touché." [Mr. Frank]
"Anyways, I also had a senior agree to be our escort." [Adam]
"I'm surprised you actually wanted to get an escort after what happened last time." [Mr. Frank]
"It's because I've known them for the minimum amount of time that could gain my trust." [Adam]
"And their name?" [Mr. Frank]
"Heru." [Adam]
"Last name?" [Mr. Frank]
"I… actually don't know…" [Adam]
Mr. Frank let out a sigh and pulled out a tablet from within his lab coat. He tapped on it's screen a few times and turned it towards Adam.
"These are all the people whose first name is Heru. Which one is it?" [Mr. Frank]
After inspecting the screen, Adam pointed out a boy with large glasses.
"That's him." [Adam]
"Good. Then I'll just add those two to the list. Tell them the meeting place, and the time. If you forget, just ask Felix." [Mr. Frank]
"Alright, thanks." [Adam]
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
He went straight home from there, delighted to participate in a dungeon raid without any obstacles.
"I'm home~" [Adam]
It was just then that he heard a loud sound upstairs. It sounded like something crashing and then a large amount of clattering, followed by the thumping of footsteps.
("What the hell is happening up there?") [Adam]
Felix came down in a hurry, holding something in his arms.
"I did it! It took so long, but I finally did it!" [Felix]
"Wha-what did you finally do?!" [Adam]
This was the first time Adam had seen Felix so excited.
"I hatched my tepac!" [Felix]
He held out his arms, revealing a large snake. It's patterns were wavy stripes and the two colors of purple and black. It's beady eyes were also two colors as well. The colors of red and yellow.
"...Cool. Can you keep that away from me? It's stares creep me out." [Adam]
"What~? It looks awesome!" [Felix]
"Uh... yeah, sure." [Adam]
"Now that I have a tepac as well, you know what we have to do!" [Felix]
"Uhm no, I don't." [Adam]
("I think his IQ is dropping from his excitement.") [Adam]
"We battle!" [Felix]
("Oh boy…") [Adam]
