Chapter 97 - Unnamed (1/2)

”Errr... who were you again?”

The girl's face immediately turned dark. They had participated in the same mercenary selection, but they can't even remember her name. Just how little of an impression did she leave on them?

”Lofa Harcken! We fought for the same slots before. Just how bad is your memory?”

Krune's group finally remembered who she was, Lofa had gotten the last slot available during the selection, but she really left a very small impression on the three of them.

”Oh! I remember now.”

Surprisingly, Ao, Krune, and Arlan said that at the same time, which infuriated Lofa to no end. Can they be even more detestable?

”You don't remember me? Fine! I won't bother with that. Like I said, let me join your team too, we are all from the same mercenary alliance after all”

Krune and the others showed a complicated face, they really didn't want someone that weak to be with them. They would need to protect her, not to mention that they don't really think she can of much help at all. They had seen her abilities in the mercenary selection and know her strength.

”Aren't you from the Ice Continent? It should be better to join them.”

But Loja Harcken shook her head.

”I don't want to. I think it's much better if I join your group since I already know your abilities. Besides, I also believe that my support abilities would work better in a team full of attackers like you.”

Ao immediately cut her off there.

”There is no need. Krune is also a support cultivator. And I doubt that you can do it better than him.”

Not only Lofa, but Arlan too was taken aback. They didn't know that Krune could play the support role as well. Of course, Arlan was now even happier to join this group. If there was something that he thought that they might lack, it was exactly a support cultivator for both him and Ao. Not to mention that with Krune's strength, he is more than capable of protecting himself while providing that.

Lofa's expression changed. It was obvious that they don't think much of her abilities, but she wasn't willing to give up just yet.

”Hmph! Don't compare my abilities with what you saw back then, at that time I couldn't play the support role. But if I can focus on it, I can guarantee you won't regret this decision.”

Krune and the other two were feeling helpless. After all, they already had the confidence the way they are and haven't thought about adding another member to start with.

Krune sighed and then said.

”Listen, we are aiming for the Dragon Essence Liquid, so we won't be contented with just three tokens. We will be engaging in battle as much as possible, and there is no doubt that the other teams that are confident in themselves will do the same. Besides, if you really join our team, not only will we have to protect you, our speed would be affected and we would also need to share the drops in the end.”

Krune was being very direct.

”It's not that we are looking down on you. But from what we have seen, if a time comes when we can't offer you protection against an enemy at the same level as us, we definitely won't crush our blue token just for your sake. The Dragon Essence Liquid is too important for us. Believe me when I say that you will be a lot safer if you join a team that only intends to pass the first phase.”

Lofa finally understood why they didn't want any extra members. She thought that with only three members, they were only trying to pass the First Test. Not to mention that they were right, she only wanted to pass the first test as well.

”I see, but do you think you really have a change? The majority of the teams have five members while you only have three, and I don't think it is a good idea. Not to mention that there will be teams who will join forces to hunt other teams.”

Krune nodded.

”We know, but we obviously have the confidence to deal with them. Besides, we are all extremely fast, I refuse to believe that we wouldn't have the ability to at least flee.”

There was also another reason that Krune hasn't said. There is probably no one in this gathering with a Divine Sense as big and powerful as his. The last thing he is afraid of is ambushes.

Lofa sighed and finally gave up. She turned around and went to look for the other contestants of the Ice Continent.
