*CREAK*
The door of the rendezvous room creaked open, and an ashen-haired young man in his early twenties emerged.
Entering the room, Shye scanned his eyes over the room.
'Sigh…as I thought…'
There were thirteen people in the room. Six of them were adventurers aged 23 to 28, while the others seemed to be handlers, one of whom was his handler, Nutter.
Two adventurers stared at him with unfriendly gazes, three with indifference, and one with outright hostility.
"Ah, Crowley, perfect timing, we're about to start discussing how to clear the (S) ranked Horza Blaidde Mana Dungeon," Nutter said with a smile to defuse the tense situation.
She was used to her champion arriving late and was a bit worried that it would anger the champions from other regions.
Hence, Nutter was pleasantly surprised that Shye arrived on time, albeit barely.
