SSS-Rank Awakening: My Talent Multiplies Everything novel Chapter 190

Chapter 190: Ignas Maciulis

There was a brief pause after Helen asked the question.

Kael immediately felt the gazes of the other four Hunters settle on him.

Apparently, they were curious too.

Kael cleared his throat.

"Okay. No personal questions."

Helen’s expression immediately fell.

"Let’s keep the questions focused on the team and the exploration, alright?"

The others fell silent.

"Well, that’s a bummer."

Helen lowered her hand, looking mildly disappointed.

The rest of the group wasn’t much different. They had all been curious about Kael, especially because of the title attached to his name.

The youngest S Rank Hunter.

Just how young was he?

Unfortunately for them, it was obvious Kael had no intention of answering that question.

Since there was nothing they could do about it, they moved on to other topics.

They asked about his role during the exploration, how he intended to organize the team, how they would handle unexpected situations, and what he expected from each of them. Kael answered the questions one after another, giving them a general understanding of how he intended to operate.

A few minutes later, the questions finally dried up.

Silence settled over the group.

Nobody seemed to have anything else to ask.

Kael glanced at the time.

There were still roughly twenty minutes before the exploration was scheduled to begin.

The other exploration team hadn’t arrived yet.

Kael understood why.

His team had deliberately arrived early so they could familiarize themselves with one another before the expedition began. The other team, however, was probably much more organized and experienced. They had likely worked together for years, meaning there wasn’t much reason for them to arrive this early.

They only needed to show up before the Rift opened for the exploration.

And, as Kael expected, the second exploration team finally arrived when there were roughly ten minutes remaining.

A group of Hunters entered the restricted area, their movements noticeably coordinated.

At the front was a middle-aged man dressed in shiny silver armor.

A lance rested in his hand.

His armor covered his entire body without appearing overly bulky, and a calm aura naturally surrounded him as he walked. His posture was straight, his expression composed, and his entire appearance reminded Kael of the knights that often appeared in fantasy novels.

He looked almost like the perfect visualization of a knight brought to life.

Kael’s eyes narrowed slightly.

Then Eye of Judgment activated.

Information immediately appeared before him.
