Training Arc

Inside the division lounge's division leader's office, tonic and potion bottles clinked.

Shye was naturally pleased that everyone grasped the seriousness of the situation. 

Although most of them felt awkward accepting such high-quality training items from their peer, they still did so in the name of the greater good.

After all, it wasn't just their pride as talented youths that was at stake, but their entire future. 

Though it was early and disheartening, they had to set aside their youthful pride because they faced a much more pressing issue.

One that even they, talented youngsters, could only solve a small part of no matter how hard they tried.

At least that's what they knew for now.

Given their character—excluding the rat—Shye was confident they would willingly pledge their allegiance to his side, as it was the path to addressing the issue at its core.
