Shinonot Village.
There was a tent right outside the city. Seven people were sitting inside the tent, with a brown-haired woman sitting at the edge. She had a gentle expression, but her gaze seemed to be able to see through anything.
She sat down with a smile on her face, watching the other six people.
"Captain. We heard there would be a new team member. Is that true?" A guy raised his hand, asking with a concerned expression.
"Aren't they the newbies from the headquarters? Why do they send them to this squad even though there are many other squads? Are they qualified to even become a member of this squad?" Another person let out a long sigh as if she didn't want to take care of the mess.
"Shut up, Stella. You might not know about this, but one of them is called Noel Ardagan." Another person glared at her to stop her rumbling.
"Ardagan?" Stella widened her eyes in shock.
