Chapter 172: Sword Practice (Part 4)
Arriving at Player Headquarters, Adyr didn’t waste time going to his room. Also, with no business in the playroom anymore, he went straight to the talent training room.
Not using the gamepod for two straight days had probably already attracted attention, especially for someone like Adyr, who was always in the spotlight, but so far, nobody had questioned him. At least not directly.
If someone did, he could simply tell them he didn’t need the gamepod anymore. That wouldn’t put him at a disadvantage. On the contrary, letting them assume he had died in the other world would cause him serious problems, and he’d risk losing all Player Headquarters privileges.
For now, nobody had raised the issue, so he wasn’t going to bother explaining anything.
When he reached the talent training room, the place was mostly quiet, though a few players were still practicing.
Adyr scanned the area and noticed one particular group—Dalin Ravencourt and her followers.
Her red hair was tied back into a neat ponytail, and she wore black, loose-fitting clothes that still somehow looked stylish. She was calmly working on her aim with a semi-automatic rifle, accompanied by Cole Vance and a few others.
This was only the second time Adyr had seen this group, and he could already tell they had formed a tight-knit circle.
Player Headquarters generally opposed closed-off cliques among players, but since there was little they could do to prevent them, it was common to see this sort of thing.
Especially in the other world, where knowledge was power, strategic alliances like these often meant the difference between life and death. Even Adyr had relied on insider information from Eren to complete his second evolution.
He ignored them and headed for the melee weapon training section.
