"Alright, alright," Kyle said. "Let's all introduce ourselves for our newest member. We can have all the conflicts we want afterward."
"I start. I'm Kyle Freeman, and I'm the captain of the team. I have Fire and Wind Affinities, but I also dabble a bit in Metal Ether. I'm a Shouter, Armor Piercer, and Armor Breaker."
Falk glanced at Lily warily before looking at the Knight with a smile.
"Hey, my name is Falk Longhorn. I'm a Fighter with a Wind Affinity. As you can see, I use a spear, and I am mainly an Armor Piercer. I used to be part-Sniper as well, but I don't need to do that anymore with you present."
The new member nodded respectfully.
Then, Michael approached the new member with a friendly smile.
"Welcome, my name is Michael Bolting. I am a Lightning Sorcerer, and I used to be the captain of an almost top-eight tournament team. I am the Armor Breaker. Alternatively, I can also work as a Counter-Controller."
When the new member heard about Michael's status, an expression of surprise appeared on his face. "You were part of a top-eight team?" he asked.
"Almost," Michael answered. "We would have qualified, but there were some political differences."
The new member just nodded again.
Michael would be a top member for any squad.
Being in such a strong tournament team meant that Michael was exceedingly powerful for his level.
Then, everyone looked at Lily, who was sitting on her stone cat, with a mixed expression of disgust and annoyance.
"Lily. Golemancer. Swarmer," she said.
Silence.
Despite her curt introduction, the new member nodded at Lily before looking at the gathered group.
"My name is Sven Forthing, and I'm an Archer Knight," he said.
Before Sven could keep talking, everyone except for Kyle looked at him in shock.
"Forthing?" Falk asked.
"Yes, Forthing. I'm William Forthing's second son," Sven said.
Then, everyone looked at Kyle in disbelief.
"He's telling the truth," Kyle said. "His home is quite… something."
The other three weren't concerned with the authenticity of what Sven had said. Just by looking at him, they could tell that he was important. Sven carried himself in a special way that exhibited control and authority.
What they were actually surprised about was how Kyle managed to get someone like that to join their team.
Every single organization in the world would accept someone like Sven with open arms.
Hell, they would probably even pay the family for the honor of having someone like that join.
How the fuck did Kyle manage to get this guy?!
Surprisingly, while the other three were surprised that Kyle managed to recruit Sven, Sven was surprised that Kyle managed to recruit Michael.
Just like Sven, nearly every organization would accept someone like Michael.
He was part of a top-eight team!
And he even was the captain!
"To continue my introduction," Sven said, drawing all the gazes back to him. "Naturally, I fight with a bow. As positions, I can fulfill the roles of Sniper, Armor Piercer, and Armor Breaker."
Three roles?
"Armor Breaker?" Falk asked in surprise.
Archers generally attacked quickly, but their attacks lacked destructive power.
Being an Armor Piercer or Armor Breaker meant that he could unleash attacks that could damage or even destroy a Shouter's shield.
How powerful were his arrows?!
"Yes, I can technically be an Armor Breaker, but it's a bit different than usual," Sven said. "I can perform a demonstration. That might also be the for the better."
Then, he looked at Lily with an even look. "Some people might not be convinced by my ability."
Lily narrowed her eyes.
If Lily were a different person, she would regret her words right about now.
However, Lily was Lily.
"Alright, alright," Kyle said before Lily could answer. "I already thought something like this would happen, which is why I called for the meeting in our usual training spot."
Then, he looked at Lily. "Come on. You may start."
Lily threw a toxic glance at Kyle before making her cat jump several meters back.
"Don't think I'm going to go easy on you just because your daddy is strong," Lily shouted with a malicious smirk.
"Go ahead," Sven said, slowly and casually pulling out his bow.
Lily snapped her fingers, and five tall golems with huge axes charged out from the forest.
The arrow shot forward at unbelievable speeds!
