"I'm Claire Rosemary, the current president of Brooklyn's Awakened Headquarters." She said
That was a surprise, although I did expect something from her abilities. She's probably the most powerful awakened I've ever seen.
"I'm Dendi. Nice to meet you." I said this while slightly lowering my head because she appeared to be older, probably in her third year of college.
"Nice to meet you too, Dendi. Well, tell me the story. " She said, while peeking down on us excitedly, quite different from her sister, this one's a bit more bold.
"Uh, well.." I was speaking until I was cut off by Emily.
"Dendi cleared the Orc Dungeon ..solo in less than 10 minutes." she said in a normal tone before slightly lowering her volume at the end of the sentence.
"That Orc Dungeon? Alone? Even alone, I could hardly finish that one in an hour. " She said, seemingly surprised.
"Yeah, I know some tricks." I replied. I'm humbled once more.
It was quite surprising how she couldn't finish that kind of dungeon quickly. She thought she could just make a super sharp ice needle to pierce through the enemy's core.
"You know, Dendi. My sister is one of the strongest awakened in the US, and is one of the 100 strongest in the world. And you just cleared the Orc Dungeon faster than her " Emily said while looking at me.
Well, that was surprising. But again, her abilities were extraordinary.
"I've seen how you fare in the orc dungeon. You're strong, but are you stronger than my sister?" She asked, seemingly in denial.
"Come on now, Emily, that's a rude thing to say to your friend." Claire scolded her sister.
"Haha, it's okay. But to answer that question, your sister is stronger." I said, laughing it off because I didn't want to accidentally use [Reaper Scythe] in some mock battle and kill someone.
"Well, I gotta go home and study for next week's exam. See y'all later" I told them, waved my goodbyes, went home and took some rest.

Claire's POV
It was 12 PM in the afternoon when someone came into my office.
"Please come in," I said.
It was my secretary, Ms. Sarah, and she told me she had some news.
"Your sister was seen with the newly awakened 'Dendi' and her friend Kenta this morning entering the Orc Dungeon. They then left the dungeon 10 minutes later, and the dungeon was cleared. "
"10 minutes? Is that true? My record was 1 hour and 12 minutes when I soloed the Orc Dungeon. I know my sister's abilities, and there's no way she could even survive a minute there. "
"I'm not sure myself, but all the cores seem to be sold off under the name 'Dendi'. They are currently downstairs in the cafe. "
"I see. Thank you very much."
Did he take all the cores? Does that mean he's exploiting my sister? Or is he something else?
I went down to the cafe to see them. I saw them, greeted them, and tried to ask what was happening. From what I heard from my sister, he soloed the dungeon. But didn't he enter with you and Kenta too? I wanted to ask her, but Dendi said that he had to leave. After he left, I asked them if he actually soloed the dungeon.
"Yeah, we were just observing him because we were curious about how he soloed the dungeon the other day. Turns out he's really strong, perhaps stronger than you, sis. " My sister Emily told me.
To be honest, I've never heard of or seen this person named "Dendi" in the awakened society. I've been told that he had just awakened recently, but he's already this strong? I've seen his ability showcase video and it was amazing, but the power it created wasn't enough to solo the orc dungeon. How did he do it?
Unlike him, I had to practise my ice abilities for 3 hours every day for 5 years just to get to my current precision and efficiency. This is absurd, and I'm really curious now.
Now I really wonder who's stronger. Should I invite him to a mock battle?
