Chapter 197: Super Rookie (3)
As the couple returned to the living room, they noticed a shift in the atmosphere. George sprang up from his armchair, a piece of paper clutched tightly in his hand. His eyes sparkled with excitement.
"Adrian! Sophia!" George called out eagerly, gesturing them over to look at something. "You won’t believe what just arrived!"
"Arrived?" Adrian frowned, taking the papers from George. "I thought you guys found a guild for us to join."
"Not everything revolves around the guilds," he declared, a grin spreading across his face. "It’s something even better!"
"A dungeon permit!?" Adrian exclaimed, his voice tinged with disbelief. "Already?"
Sophia leaned in, peering over Adrian’s shoulder to get a better look.
"This is incredible," she mumbled, a smile spreading across her lips. "I don’t think anyone would have received a request so soon. Executive Director must have been impressed by you."
"Well then, what are we waiting for? Let’s gear up and head out. Adventure awaits!" George punched the air. He was more excited than all of them combined, but Adrian had to rain on his parade.
"Hold your horses, dumbass," Adrian shook his head, pointing at the date. "The request is for tomorrow, not tonight. Besides, there’s somewhere I need to visit, so there’s that."
A’Mile smiled when she heard that. Vesper had been asking to meet Adrian for a while now. But Adrian wasn’t ready to face her, but it seemed he had changed his mind.
It wouldn’t be easy for him, but he knew nothing would change between them if he kept waiting.
