At the voice of a man resounding through the room—all eyes within the lounge quickly turned towards the direction of it. There, the people noted that a mage was standing by at the entrance with a seemingly confident demeanour.
"Hah... It's that mage again?" The whispers of players murmured through the room. "What is he up to this time?"
"Didn't he get blown away by Wenzhou?" One of the players replied. "How come he's back? Does he want a second try? Hah! I'd like to see some puny mage try!"
"Ugh... Interrupting our enjoyment, these damn NPCs..." They scorned. "If they don't want to see us fighting, stop making us wait around then!"
"...hey, Rob? Uh... Did you really have to barge in and shout like that?" The woman beside the mage whispered in his ears. "Look at their eyes! I-It's scary..."
"Ugh... Wait till they hear it from me!" Rob frowned. "What are y'all looking at?! Go and sit down! It's not time to battle Bareth yet! Save your energy!"
