Chapter 130 Teaming up with the seniors(2)

Eren and Ezio navigated their way through the bustling crowd of students, their eyes scanning the auditorium for their senior teammates. The atmosphere was still charged with a mix of tension and anticipation, but now, more than ever, they felt the weight of responsibility on their shoulders.

Eren couldn't help but wonder about Selena Everhart, a name that carried the weight of legend in his past life. Her reputation as a wielder of holy magic was awe-inspiring, and he was both excited and apprehensive about working alongside her. He couldn't deny that her presence on their team added a layer of complexity to the upcoming mission.

As for the other senior teammate, Elric Ironforge, Eren knew little about him except for his noble background and the renowned reputation of his family as master craftsmen. The Ironforge lineage was synonymous with excellence in weapon production, and Eren hoped that Elric's skills would prove valuable in their mission.

Finally, their search led them to a corner of the auditorium where two figures stood. One was a young man with a studious appearance, his glasses perched on the bridge of his nose, and an assortment of scrolls and books tucked under his arm. This had to be Elric Ironforge, the scholar of their group.

The other figure, a young woman with an aura of grace and serenity, radiated an unmistakable air of holiness. Selena Everhart stood there with an elegant staff in hand, its intricate design hinting at her proficiency in holy magic.

Approaching the pair, Eren and Ezio exchanged polite nods of greeting. "I assume you're Selena Everhart and Elric Ironforge," Eren said, trying to keep his excitement and curiosity in check.

Selena smiled warmly, her eyes harboring a gentle kindness. "That's correct. And you must be Eren Pendragon and Ezio," she replied, her voice carrying a soothing quality that matched her demeanor.

Ezio stepped forward, extending a hand in greeting. "Indeed, we are. It's an honor to meet both of you."

Elric, the scholar of the group, adjusted his glasses and nodded in acknowledgment. "The pleasure is ours."

Unlike all the other seniors, both of their teammates felt kind of better for Eren. They didn't seem to look down on them just because they were juniors, and both of them spoke with a certain respect when talking with Eren and Ezio. This attitude stood out because none of the other seniors seemed to have the same approach towards their juniors.

Nevertheless, with introductions out of the way, the team of four decided it was time to open the sealed envelopes containing their mission instructions. The anticipation in the air was palpable as they carefully broke the seals and retrieved the documents.

Eren unfolded the parchment and began to read aloud, "To the team comprising Eren Pendragon, Ezio, Selena Everhart, and Elric Ironforge, your mission is as follows."

________________

"...."

A profound silence filled the room for a minute before all three broke in, "What???"

It became apparent that the matter was more sensitive than they had initially thought since there was no actual deadline for the mission, but they were also not allowed to return without resolving the matter.

After a moment of contemplation, Selena spoke. "Given the importance of this artifact and the delicate situation with the deep forest people, our approach must be cautious and respectful. We should also be prepared to face potential adversaries who may have an interest in the artifact."

Elric, always pragmatic, chimed in, "As we don't even know how long it will take, we should gather supplies, prepare for the journey, and perhaps seek advice from the academy's instructors who may have knowledge of Yalindor."

With a unanimous decision to prepare and plan thoroughly, the team of four left the auditorium, ready to embark on their journey to the mystical land of Yalindor. The fate of the artifact and the people who awaited the statue rested in their hands, and they were determined to prove that their unity, despite their differences, would lead to remarkable achievements.

Unbeknownst to them, hidden observers from the towers continued to watch their every move from the shadows, evaluating their readiness for the challenges that awaited them in Yalindor.

The group felt a sense of purpose and determination as they prepared for their mission. They knew that the journey ahead would be fraught with challenges and uncertainties, but they were resolute in their commitment to help the people of Yalindor recover their stolen artifact.

As they gathered supplies and sought guidance from experienced instructors, they couldn't help but feel a growing sense of anticipation. The mystical land of Yalindor held countless secrets and mysteries, the tales about Yalindor were many and they were excited to travel to the land of legends.

Indeed, the prospect of encountering the enigmatic and formidable people of Yalindor added to their anticipation. They were eager to immerse themselves in a culture that had thrived deep within the dangerous and mysterious great forest. It was an opportunity not only to fulfill their mission but also to learn about a way of life and a civilization unlike any they had ever known.

As they continued their preparations, thoughts of the upcoming adventure filled their minds. The journey to Yalindor was more than just a mission; it was a chance to grow as individuals and as a team. They knew that the challenges ahead would test their skills, but they were determined to face them head-on.

Eren, Ezio, Selena, and Elric knew that they were stepping into the unknown, but they were ready to face whatever challenges lay ahead. With their mission at the forefront of their minds, they set off on their journey to Yalindor, determined to complete their mission.

But what the four students weren't aware was the fact that soon they would be involved in a much deeper matter which would forever change the course of their life.
