[Alright, those whose names were called, gather in front while I prepare the gate.]
I grasped Miyuki's hand tightly as we made our way toward the gate, with Yoo Rin following behind. At the same time, the other selected candidates stepped forward.
Soo Jinyoung, Moon Jiyeon and an unfamiliar man. From the announcement, I deducted that he was the last candidate, called Ryu Yeji.
His hair was dyed blonde, and he appeared youthful, likely in his early thirties. His arsenal consisted of B-rank items such as the [Tempest Blade] and [Classic Combat Suit].
Though his items were slightly above average, his appearance was fairly average, with an aura of friendliness that put others at ease.
As he approached, he extended his hand with smile and greeted:
"Nice to meet you, I am Ryu Yeji."
"I am Kim Jakga."
"You're a candidate too, huh? Honestly, I'm really nervous. Didn't all the others die pretty quickly?"
