’One person. I just need one person willing to co into an unsurveyed E or D rank dungeon with on short notice.’
He thought through his options.
Most of his classmates weren’t guild-registered.
First that ca to his mind was Leonard. He would say yes imdiately and then turn the whole thing into a competition. Not to ntion he would need to apply for an ID first.
Then he thought about Regnar and Draven. Both of them were his good friends. They could be good options.
Arisha was a possibility, but she trained on her own schedule, and he didn’t want to pull her into sothing unplanned.
He turned it over for another mont.
Then soone ca to mind.
He sat up slightly and reached into his pocket for his phone.
"Yeah... that person would probably say yes," he muttered with a thoughtful expression.
The person he thought of was none other than Damien.
The reason was simple. It was Instructor Morgana who had suggested Noah join this guild. That ant she must have suggested the sa thing to her disciple, Damien Ashworth.
So Noah was sure that he might have been registered here.
Despite them not talking much for a week, Noah was shaless.
He imdiately clicked on his number and called him.
On the other side, Damien answered with a slightly puzzled expression, "Noah? Why did you call ?"
"Hey, Damien, my friend!" Noah said with a cheerful grin. "What are you doing? Are you free tomorrow?"
Damien remained silent on the other side for a while, his expression thoughtful. "...Yes, I am... why?" he finally replied.
"Good," Noah said with a satisfied look. "Actually, I wanted to ask you sothing."
"What is it?" Damien asked calmly.
"Are you registered in the Crimson Vale Adventurers Guild?" Noah asked.
"Yes, I am... why did you ask?" Damien replied, slightly curious.
"Perefect!!" Noah said with excitent. "Actually, I wanted to explore a newly found dungeon. It’s estimated to be E rank to D rank. I need a partner to enter—that’s what the counter lady said to . So I was hoping you could team up with ."
Damien’s expression sharpened slightly. "Hey! Where are you currently?" he asked with a slightly raised voice.
"I’m at the Adventurers Guild," Noah replied casually.
"Okay. Wait there. I will co there soon," Damien said firmly.
"Oh... alright. I will be waiting," Noah said before cutting the call and leaning back against the bench comfortably.
’So I got a teammate. Nice! He is the protagonist. Top-rank student. Very strong! This exploration will be easy for and also safer,’ he thought with a satisfied expression.

After a while, the entrance door slid open automatically as a handso young man entered. He was wearing a navy-colored hoodie.
His black hair was slightly ssy, while his hazel eyes were filled with confidence.
Those eyes surveyed the dungeon main lobby.
Noah waved his hand toward him.
When Damien saw the very handso young man sitting there, he moved toward him.
With a focused expression, Damien said, "Can you show which dungeon you were talking about?"
"Straight to the point? Good," Noah replied with a small grin. "Follow ."
Noah led Damien to the huge screen and showed the information of that dungeon.
Damien’s eyes lit up, and he smiled.
"Man, you really chose the right dungeon," he said with excitent. "Just yesterday I saw this one and decided to go on Saturday. But I didn’t find any teammate, since everyone was busy while so registered to other guilds."
Noah blinked a few tis, his expression turning stiff.
"Wait... you an you had seen this yesterday and wanted to go there tomorrow... alone?" he asked.
"Yes," Damien replied casually. "Since I didn’t find anyone, I decided to visit alone. You do know I am at Awakened Core High, so I am allowed to enter."
Noah opened his mouth and then closed it. His brain started to work at full capacity.
Then a friendly smile blood on Noah’s face.
"Oh my~ Damien," he said with a light laugh, "I changed my mind. I won’t go to this dungeon. I don’t want to go there anymore." He decided to change his decision.
Damien frowned, clearly confused. "Wait! Why?" he asked.
"I just don’t want to... I don’t know why... I might just check so labyrinths. Haha," Noah chuckled nervously as he turned to look at the screen.
But Damien placed his hand on his shoulder.
With a determined expression, Damien said, "Bro! You are coming with . Don’t worry, I forgive you for whatever you did in the first unit test. Let’s go together tomorrow."
Noah continued to smile warmly, but inside he was not pleased.
’The fuck! I wanted to take him because he was strong. But if he wanted to visit it before I even told him... that ans this might be related to the storyline. Sothing big and dangerous might happen. Shit, why did I ask him!’
"No, Damien," Noah said with a polite smile. "As I said, there is no need. I am weak. I will be a nuisance for you."
"Oh, co on, Noah," Damien said confidently. "I am aware of what you are capable of. If you are in danger, I will help you. And it’s better to have soone with than going alone."
Noah then thought for a while. He rembered the rewards he got from that useless system. They were tempting. If dungeon exploration was really related to storyline of ga. Noah could get benefit from it.
’I guess... I actually need to go. Maybe after surviving whatever danger lies ahead. It might be dangerous...but I could get so nice rewards.’ With heavy heart. He decided to go.
Noah sighed, making up his mind.
"Okay," he said with a resigned expression. "Let’s go, Damien. We will conquer that dungeon."
"That’s the spirit!" Damien exclaid with a wide smile.
And thus the main character and a handso extra decided to go on small adventure. Not knowing what it store for them.
