E-Rank Dungeon,
The dungeon air was damp, heavy with moss and stone dust. Flickering crystals embedded in the walls pulsed faintly, casting bluish light over Class Caelis as they regrouped near the cavern entrance.
Voices overlapped until one question finally broke through the noise.
"Who's going to be the leader?"
Almost every gaze shifted to the same two people—Ron Volkov and Lia Isolde.
Lia's silver eyes turned to Ron, her brow arched.
"What do you think?"
Ron paused, Zane's warning still echoing in his head—something about this test won't go normally… watch for anomalies. If he needed to move separately, it would be best not to tie himself down as a leader.
He gave a small shrug.
"You can take the role. As for the other… Maera Stormheart's from a high-ranked noble house. She'd be a good choice too."
