Chapter 27: Ritual in progress
Chapter 26
"Yuno, C-rank water user; Jane, C-rank fire user; Rolan, C-rank earth user. Dael, D-rank ice user; Mira, D-rank fire user; Kira, D-rank earth user. Thorne, E-rank ice user, and Kaizen, E-rank. You’re all assigned under your B-rank Squad Leader Ash."
The calling and assigning had long started, all others had already set out, five level two squad, five level three squad, six level four squad, four level five squad, three level six squad and two level seven squad. Level seven squads usually took care of E-rank portals.
Kaizen’s squad was a level six squad, just the like the one he joined during the last raid. He mostly joined either level six or seven squads.
"Are you Kaizen?"
Kaizen turned to find someone he didn’t recognize, slim tall built six foot guy, sharp handsome features that instantly left an impression, he looked a little too feminine for a guy. His long black hair tied in a warrior’s bun, a few strands falling loosely, framing his face.
"Yes." Kaizen answered quickly.
"I’m Yuno, we’re squad mates for today’s raid." Yuno greeted, offering a handshake. Kaizen stared at his hand for a while, skeptical. It was hard for him to trust anyone these days, so he was fully ready for whatever trick this dude might try to pull.
He accepted the handshake, and surprisingly, Yuno gently pressed his hand fondly, giving him a warm smile. "Let’s try to get along okay?"
"Yeah." Kaizen awkwardly pulled his hand away when he noticed the handshake felt a little too intimate.
