The next morning, as per instructions posted on their group chat, the team gathered in the parking garage instead of the training hall.
"Good morning everyone!" Damien greeted the group once everyone - that is, Lane who came in last - arrived. "First of all, thank you to everyone who came in yesterday to help during the dungeon break. As you already know, another A-rank Gate has erupted, and a part of the city is infested with monsters. Therefore, instead of training, today we will go to the scene to help guard the boundary. Any questions?"
The team remained silent.
"Great. Then, let's get moving. Ah," Damien paused, glancing at Lane as he remembered something, "I would like to remind everyone that the deadline to apply to attend the international Awakened summit passes next week. Please make sure to complete your applications beforehand."
