Chapter 119: Controversy
"You two must be Bob and Alan, if I’m not wrong?" Selene asked. She sat between me and Bob, and I was really not comfortable now, with a woman sitting this close beside me.
"Err... yes, that’s right," I replied.
"You two are very famous right now! Every adventurer here is talking about what happened at the initiation ceremony. We really regret missing that, right Maya?" Selene said as she casually slung her arms around both my neck and Bob’s, glancing at Maya. Maya just nodded.
This woman really has no concept of boundaries. Her attitude is completely tomboyish and carefree. My head kept looking down, my neck retreating like a turtle’s as she kept tapping my shoulder.
"So, you’re G-rank, Alan? Don’t worry, I’ll help you rank up later," she said to me. Even though she probably meant well, the way she said it felt like she was mocking me.
"And you, Bob, I expect big things from you. You’re literally our ace now," she added, tapping Bob on the abdomen, making his stomach ripple. Bob was also staring down like me, clearly overwhelmed.
"I think you should stop doing that," Evelyn said.
"Huh? Doing what? I’m just talking to new friends. Is something wrong?" Selene asked, looking genuinely confused.
Something wrong? No, everything is wrong, girl. Please read the room. Two gentlemen nearly had their heads buried deeper into their bodies.
"Let’s go and find an empty seat, Sis Selene. This one is already full," one of the girls said.
I recognized her, she is Alia, the one who did the initiation ceremony with me. I think she’s a Rank C. And that other guy now scanning for empty seats, Rey. He’s the Rank B with Advance class who also attended the same ceremony with me and Bob.
So, they’re joining her group? She must be strong if she’s able to recruit those two new members.
