Apologies for the earlier oversight. Here's the complete passage:
"Huaaaa~" After stepping out of the bathroom, I glanced at myself in the mirror, ensuring I looked presentable. Even after a shower, I still felt sleepy.
Normally I would have made a narcissistic comment on my beautiful appearance, but today I was in a hurry.
Why?
Today is the orientation for the travelling crew. And I don't want to be late.
And today is also an incident that happened during the travelling crew.
That's why I am fully prepared for today's event.
"Sword check, Bow check, Magic scroll check and there is no potion this time with me."
I said to myself as I kept checking my items.
You must be wondering why I have a magic scroll right?
Well, the thing is that old Lucas has an affinity for Light, a rare element.
But because it's a rare element, there is no proper way to learn the Light element.
So yesterday night I brought one Light magic scroll with 3000 C,
My savings hit rock bottom I tell you, that.
I have to do something about this too.
Anyway, I just brought this up in case of an emergency that's all.
It's a one-time use scroll so I have to be pretty careful when using it.
CLICK-
"Anyway let's go," I said as I closed the door behind me.
***
I walked to the meeting place. Many of the leading characters — namely Adrian, Noah, Emma, and Isabella— were already present.
And let's not forget about Evelyn as she glares daggers at me, her gaze asking why I'm so late.
I'm only 5 minutes late! What is her problem?!
Ignoring her, I leisurely just stand there.
All of them seemed completely oblivious to my existence, did they all forget that I was also there to help them at crew hall?
What jerks!
Well anyway, I can't do anything about it.
Today in Eldoria, an unexpected incident would occur. This would be the story's first major incident.
While I was organizing today's impending incident in my head, the crew president arrived.
***
A strange feeling enveloped my body, but only for a moment.
In the blink of an eye, the surrounding scenery changed to an unfamiliar place. It was Eldoria Portal Station, a futuristic blend of vibrant blue and sleek grey. The station had a modern and advanced feel to it, with holographic signs and bustling activity.
Large screens displayed information about various destinations, and there was an air of excitement among the travellers. It was a testament to the technological marvels of this world.
Joy's voice brought Lucas back to the present. "It's 1 right now, so we'll meet back here at 6."
Lucas nodded, acknowledging the instructions. He glanced around at his surroundings, taking in the sleek design of the portal station. It was a bustling hub of activity, with travellers of all kinds coming and going.
"For now, follow me," Joy continued.
All students followed Joy through the station, and as they did, they received another seal from the Portal employees. This seal was likely necessary for using the public transportation system in Eldoria. Elaborating on the Portal Station, they found themselves in an area marked 'Marin Lines Station.' It seemed like the public transportation system in Eldoria was well-organized and efficient.
"You can go wherever you want as a pair using the public transportation system. For today, we won't require you to write a report, but make sure you're back by 6. If you're late, you'll be penalized," Joy warned before letting the Students depart in pairs.
As the others left, it was just Adrian, Isabella, and Lucas remaining at the Eldoria Portal Station. The three of them were left to decide where they wanted to go, and immediately, a difference in preferences emerged.
Isabella, a mage, expressed her desire to visit the mage tower, a place of magical study and practice. She saw this trip as an opportunity to enhance her magical knowledge and skills.
Adrian, on the other hand, was a swordsman through and through. His eyes sparkled with the prospect of visiting Gladiator Dom, an arena where swordsmen from all over challenged each other. It was a place where warriors could test their skills and grow stronger through combat.
The two of them began to argue about which destination to choose, each passionate about their preference.
Isabella insisted, "The mage tower offers a unique opportunity for me to learn and grow as a mage. I can't pass up the chance to go there."
Adrian countered, "But Gladiator Dom is where I can truly test my mettle. I need to hone my sword skills, and this is the perfect place for it."
Lucas, standing between them, sighed inwardly. He didn't have a strong preference for either destination, and his main goal was to ensure the two didn't end up in a heated argument.
In the novel, they argue for half an hour, Lucas can't let that happen; because in the end, they both decide to go to 'Artefacts Room'.
"Guys, how about we compromise?" Lucas suggested, trying to mediate the situation. "We can spend some time at both places."
"How Lucas?" Adrian asked him.
"Since Isabella is a mage I know that she will like this and you to Adrian," Lucas said ignoring Adria's question.
"Just tell us will you," Isabella said.
"The Artefacts Room," he said to them as both of their brows frown.
"Why is Artefacts Room?" Adrian asked him,
"In Artefacts Room, There will be many types of swords and wonders, I know that Adrian you wanted to challenge someone but as I said this is compromise."
'This monster just how many times he wants to fight, even after a duel with Kevin.'
Lucas thought as gave Adrian a strange look.
Isabella and Adrian exchanged glances, considering the proposal. Finally, they nodded in agreement, realizing it was a fair compromise.
"Alright, that sounds reasonable," Isabella conceded.
Adrian grinned, appreciating Lucas' diplomatic approach. "Sure, I can wait a bit for my turn, when I come here next time, I will go to Gladiotr Dom."
With the agreement in place, the trio set off, heading to the Artefacts Room.
