Chapter 15: Meeting.
"Alright!" Iane clapped his hands together, standing at the head of the table with a grin. "Since everyone’s here, let’s start with introductions."
He placed his hands on his hips and puffed his chest proudly.
"I’m Iane Crystar, Rank 2 Tool Master, and your team leader. I’m fifteen."
Arah didn’t react, but he noticed the others exchanging glances at Iane’s age. Iane seemed to expect it and only grinned wider.
"Ahh, to be talented... Don’t worry, I’m qualified to lead you, heck, I would say I am more than qualified."
Next was a boy who looked slightly malnourished. His clothes were too loose and hung off his thin frame, likely hand-me-downs. He had unkempt black hair, tired green eyes, and a quiet presence.
"M-my name is Terent," he muttered. "Semi-Rank 1 Soul Weapon Master... and I’m fourteen."
He didn’t say anything more and glanced away, eyes slightly downcast.
Tares was next. She gave a polite nod and raised her soul tool, the same book she had spoken through before.
"I am Tares Tatenia. Thirteen years old. Unranked Soul Beast Master. I apologize, but I am mute, so I cannot personally introduce myself."
That got a few raised eyebrows, and not because of her disability, but most likely because she possessed a soul tool.
