Alen and his escort team ventured into the dense forest, but Alen was vexed. He had no intention of taking the rank-up exam so soon, especially without his gear. However, due to the stupidity and jealousy of one person, he was now forced to take on a greater risk than he was comfortable with.
Without breaking his stride, Alen pushed ahead at a fast pace, leaving his escort team struggling to keep up. Laurent, a tall guy with a slim figure, was particularly struggling due to the extra weight he was carrying. Keira, perched on his shoulder with her massive gear, added a few extra pounds.
"Hey, slow down, hey can't you hear me, if we keep going like this, we'll get tired before we even arrive, and the fight would be much more difficult" Laurent pleaded with Alen.
