"Thanks for saving us. We owe you one."
Draco's sullen mind was disturbed as he turned to see Brad clasping his hands together with a slight bow.
Draco looked at the group of five. Brad wore red armor, his sheathed sword at his side.
Behind him stood two men and two women. Brad, noticing Draco's gaze on them, said, "My name is Brad, the head of the Shadow Mercenaries."
"These are my colleagues: Dell, Sam, Ivory, and Flora," he introduced.
"Oh," Draco replied as he looked at them. From the system's appraisal:
- **Dell**, a warrior, was a black-haired young man with a sturdy build.
- **Sam**, a slim, brown-haired young man, was a double-element magician of earth and fire.
- **Ivory**, a slightly above-average beauty with black hair, was an illusionist, a unique class.
