Orange pondered for a moment, then smirked playfully. "I think I'll do some martial arts," she said confidently, rolling her shoulders to loosen up.
Ni Shuang raised an eyebrow, intrigued. "Martial arts? Now that's a twist!" she said with a grin, clapping her hands. "Let's see what you've got."
Yuto Saito leaned back on the sofa, clearly enjoying the variety of talents on display. "Go ahead, Orange. Show us your skills," he encouraged.
Orange stepped to the center of the room, her face a picture of focus. She took a deep breath and began to flow through a series of quick, precise movements—a blend of graceful stances and powerful strikes. Her speed and precision made it clear she wasn't just showing off; she had been trained.
The room fell silent, everyone captivated by her agility and the seamless way she transitioned from one move to the next. Her final move was a swift roundhouse kick that landed with a soft thud against the air, and she struck a pose, breathing slightly heavy, but her face glowing with satisfaction.
As she finished, Mina clapped enthusiastically, her voice filled with awe. "That was amazing, Orange! I had no idea you could do that!"
Ruoruo bounced on her feet, clapping along. "Wow! You're so strong!"
Ni Shuang chimed in, impressed. "I didn't expect a martial arts performance. You're full of surprises!"
Yuto Saito gave a slow clap, a smile of approval on his face. "Impressive, Orange. You've definitely earned your place in the team."
As with Mina and Ruoruo before her, a glowing text appeared in front of Orange:
[Captain Yuto Saito invites you to join the team. Joining the team can improve your strength. Join?]
Without hesitation, Orange clicked to join. A rush of energy surged through her body, filling her with newfound strength. Her muscles felt stronger, her mind sharper. She looked at Mina and Ruoruo, understanding now what they had been talking about.
"I feel... powerful!" Orange exclaimed, her eyes wide with amazement.
Yuto Saito stood up, gesturing for everyone to gather around. "Now that you're all part of the team, you'll notice some changes. Your attributes will be enhanced, and working together will make us even stronger."
Mina, Ruoruo, and Orange exchanged excited glances, their bond as teammates solidifying with this new shared experience.
Yun Yun, standing beside Yuto, smiled warmly. "Welcome to the team," she said. "From now on, we're not just a group—we're a family. And on this floating island, we'll face everything together."
As the girls nodded in agreement, a feeling of camaraderie filled the room. They weren't just joining a team—they were becoming part of something much bigger.
Yuto Saito, satisfied with the talents displayed and the unity forming between them, turned to Ni Shuang. "Prepare to show them around the island properly. There's a lot more to explore than just the villa."
Ni Shuang gave a playful salute. "On it, captain!"
As the group moved towards the door, ready to explore their new home, Orange paused for a moment, looking back at the floating island with a sense of wonder. "I still can't believe this place exists," she whispered to herself. "But now, it feels like home."
And with that, the four new teammates—Mina, Ruoruo, Orange, and Yuto—embarked on the next chapter of their journey, together.
