Once Eco Oliver had departed from their table, Sin's mind began to make connections. A flicker of recognition sparked within him as he thought he had caught a glimpse of the Oliver family name. Suddenly, a flood of memories surged forward, bringing to mind a certain individual named Wesly Oliver. This Wesly, Sin recalled, was none other than a child hailing from the Viscount family.
As he observed Eco Oliver gather his team together, it was evident that they had summoned for a crucial meeting. They appeared focused and engaged in their discussion, seemingly disregarding the recent squabble or whatever between Sin and Eco as if it hadn't occurred just moments before.
Fatema reassured Sin that he could now have peace of mind, knowing that when this man is in a serious state with his team, he would refrain from engaging in futile actions such as launching another attack on him. Curious, Sin inquired about the basis of her confidence. In response, Fatema revealed that they had previously been collaborators on a temporary team assigned to a specific mission.
After nodding in agreement, Hearing Sin refrained from delving further into the details of her personal position. Instead, he redirected his attention towards the remaining individuals present in the table. Sensing their mental exhaustion from the recent encounter with the White Vortex, he inquired about their current emotional state.
Upon hearing Eric's statement that he was currently feeling alright, Sin expressed her agreement by stating that such experiences were simply a normal aspect of life. However, Eric, determined to rectify his error, contemplated ways in which he could enhance the impact of his contributions to his team as a means of compensating for his previous mistake. Sin's face lit up with a warm smile in response to Eric's determination and dedication.
Indira described the experience as a dreadful nightmare, causing her distress. However, she has managed to overcome the challenges and is currently in a better state. In fact, her eagerness to immerse herself once more in the depths of the dungeon is palpable. Luke, too, echoed Indira's sentiments, sharing in his interest and enthusiasm for the new thrilling adventure.
Rodriguez, the designated leader of the team, proudly proclaimed himself as a seasoned professional adventurer. Throughout his illustrious career, he had encountered numerous perilous situations that tested his mettle and pushed him to his limits. Undeterred by these past encounters, Rodriguez remained steadfast in his commitment to his chosen path, fully aware that future dangers would inevitably befall him should he continue to venture further into this treacherous profession.
Nevertheless, he embraced these potential hazards with an unwavering resolve, always prepared for whatever the unpredictable wilderness had in store for him. Despite the constant looming threat of danger, Rodriguez recognized the importance of taking occasional breaks from his adventurous lifestyle. These respites not only allowed him to recharge his physical faculties but also played a crucial role in rejuvenating his mental fortitude. It was during these moments of respite that Rodriguez found solace, granting him the opportunity to reflect on his past exploits and contemplate the challenges that lay ahead.
In essence, Rodriguez's unwavering dedication to his adventurous pursuits served as a testament to his fearless nature and unwavering determination. His readiness to confront whatever perils the future held was a testament to his exceptional resilience and unwavering commitment to his chosen path. While the potential dangers that lay ahead were undeniable, Rodriguez faced them head-on, firmly believing that the rewards and fulfillment that awaited him in this daring profession far outweighed the risks.
The silent boy Gerald remained silent. However, he nodded with everyone that he is agreeing with their sentiment.
Indira was curious about Sin's feelings following the incident, wondering how it had affected him.
In response, Sin expressed his desire for an even riskier and thrilling escapade, implying that this incident had only ignited his appetite for danger. He believed that this was just the start of an exhilarating journey he was eager to embark upon.
Upon hearing his words, laughter erupted from every member of his team. What a fearless guy he was. However, each individual fully grasped the message he was conveying. In the realm of this particular profession, it is an erroneous belief to anticipate a safe and secure existence. Instead, one must be willing to lay their life on the line in order to attain significant triumphs. It becomes a matter of either perishing in pursuit of greatness or etching a legacy that will forever be synonymous with glory.
Upon hearing their explanation, Fatema chimed in and suggested that it would be in everyone's best interest to hold off on venturing into the dungeon for the time being. She explained that the experienced soldier in Abraham's group was currently on a quest to locate the same mysterious vortex that they had just described. Until Sin's team received confirmation or approval to venture in dungeon, it was advised that they refrain from diving into the dungeon.
Sin comprehended her intention and responded by stating that they would currently refrain from going there. The reason being that they still required additional training in order to further enhance their skills. In addition to that, Sin, Eric, and Gerald were scheduled to partake in the League 4 second stage the following day, which would demand their undivided attention and keep them occupied.
In regards to the other participants, it is not mandatory for Indira to take part in League 4. This is because she successfully completed her tournament in League 2 during the previous year. Consequently, she will be joining the upcoming tournament in League 3. Conversely, Luke and Gerald are unable to participate due to age restrictions.
Sin then broke the surprising news to them that he had made arrangements to hire a trainer on their behalf, leaving everyone in a state of shock and confusion. They struggled to comprehend the gravity of his words, uncertain of what exactly he meant. However, Sin quickly reassured them and explained that he had utilized his connections to secure the services of a highly skilled and powerful trainer. This trainer would be responsible for guiding them through a rigorous training program, aimed at enhancing their physical strength and overall capabilities.
Rodriguez inquired about the identity of the mysterious individual standing before them. To his surprise, Sin chose to remain silent, leaving him in a state of anticipation. With a mischievous glint in his eyes, Sin cryptically alluded to a future revelation, teasing Rodriguez and the surrounding onlookers. A sense of intrigue filled the air as Sin ominously warned them to brace themselves for an upcoming spectacle that would undoubtedly leave them astounded and breathless.
Despite placing their trust in Sin's word, they find it hard to fathom that any formidable individual would be willing to mentor them. Even Blood Soaked Fatema, who is positioned directly in front of them, exudes an overwhelming sense of pride that makes them believe she would never deign to instruct someone as feeble as themselves.
Sin then grinned at them and confidently stated that being a part of the esteemed Team Phantom Spear, his main objective was to foster personal growth alongside his teammates. According to him, when the team possesses a harmonious balance of strength, there is simply no force capable of impeding their relentless pursuit of progress and success.
Sin then stood up and said, "After successfully completing the second stage of our League 4, we shall arrange a meeting. Once again, we will embark on a thrilling expedition into the depths of the dungeon, and receive guidance from a more experienced individual."
With these words, Sin bid farewell to the cozy confines of the restaurant, accompanied by his companion Fatema, having settled the bill for their delectable feast.
