Chapter 224: Chapter 224 Dungeon Time Part 01.



After a night with Xiao Lian on the shore, it finally washed away the rift that distorted their distance. Once more, Xiao Lian and Hina could be spotted standing near Soma, smiling happily, before they separated into their own group.

Soma, who was currently in his team, cast his gaze forward and saw a rocky structure that elevated from the ground and a huge dark maw, the place they would explore this time.

"Then, each group leader, please move forward!".

Teacher Lee, one of the teachers who came with the travelling club activity, gave his order as someone with experience diving into the dungeon. The academy was short-staffed because some of the teachers who had abilities accompanied the third year in exploring the deepest and most unexplored dungeons on earth in Africa.

So reluctantly, he was appointed as the leader of the teacher who also came beside him, standing stiff.

"Yes".

Simultaneously, three students who have been appointed as captains move forward. Team A, which was mostly filled with second-year students, was led by Ryuu. They were tasked with the most challenging task of clearing the path for the other team.

With many of its female members, Team B was led by Serafina, tasked as the team that would record the dungeon's layout. Lastly, Soma Team-C, mixed between second- and first-year students, was led by Akane and tasked with ensuring that there were no more obstacles on their way home.

The three leaders began briefing on what they would and shouldn't do once inside the dungeon. While he was waiting, Soma scanned his surroundings and saw Hina and Xiao Lian had already come back as usual with small banter that made everyone around them smile wryly.

Soma chuckled at seeing their warm interaction before turning his attention elsewhere. He finally could spot Leon, but strangely, he was being put in Team A with Ryuu, and that fact greatly stirred his heart. "Another change in the plot? Well, I have to brief the girls later".

"That is all for the briefing. Do you guys understand?".

"Yes, Inspectoor Lee".

"Good, spread this to your comrade, dismiss".

As soon as Teacher Lee finished with his word, every group leader returned to their own group and began to create an encirclement to discuss what the teacher said.

"Okay, everyone, listen up! We will conduct the exploration one hour after Team B enters, and you guys already know our objectives, as we discussed earlier with Leadr Ryuu.

But, the teacher gave us an additional task, if possible, as someone who entered this club I want you guys to write down your experience in a report and hand it to your leader club and from there we as executives in the travelling club will score you guys depend of how good your report is and if you are deemed good we will pick the best one as the representative of each class, is everyone clear?".

Everyone in the group nodded their head as Akane briefly told us the other rules we must follow; the others began to listen carefully, and there were some first-years amongst Soma who busied themselves writing down the crucial part of this exploration.

"...Okay, ready yourself, and in a moment, we will go toward the dungeon, the place of unknown mystery, hope, and also the danger that will lead us to greater things. Prepare yourself and make sure to remember the fellow beside you because no one knows what will happen inside it".

As Akane said it with a deep and low tone, dampening the Team-C atmosphere because of her antics, Kaori, from her side, sighed and opened her mouth.

"Everyone, be careful, especially first-year students, and I hope the second year can guide their juniors well; I am leaving it to you guys".

"Okay".

The briefing was done, and Soma saw team A begin to leave the field and enter the dungeon. Many people who watched them felt their bodies stiffened and their hearts trembled in anticipation. There are also many who tremble in fright because it was their first attempt ever since they gained their power.

"Um, Captain, may I?".

Soma, under much gaze from the other members, raised his right hand to gain Akane's attention.

"What is it, Soma?".

"Can I go toward Team B for a moment. I need to make sure that my friends are ready for this moment".

"Team B?".

Everyone in the group, along with Akane, unconsciously turned toward a certain red-haired girl who was having fun with her close friends. Then, as if understanding Soma's intention, many males and seniors grin while placing their palms on their chest, showing respect that Soma is a caring boyfriend.

Akane, who felt the mood in her group turned sweet, could only sigh and gesture to Soma by jerking her chin and speaking.

"Go ahead".

"Thanks".

As Soma detached himself from the group, the members who saw him raised their thumbs up in their hearts. It is rare to see a heartwarming atmosphere in the group, and the tension from their heart melts with the wholesome scene they see as Hina, who notices Soma's approach, welcomes Soma with a blossomed smile.

"Soma? What's up?".

"Nothing, just checking on you; how was your preparation?".

"I'm ready. I Already checked it multiple times, and the thing you gave me back is already in my storage".

"I see".

"Soma".

From the side, a slightly firmer tone leaked out from Xiao Lian's mouth as she shrank her distance from him, trying to gain his attention.

"How about you, Xiao Lian?".

"I'm ready, and thanks for the potion you shared with me. Are you going to be okay without it?".

"Don't worry; I have a ton of those inside my storage, so use it as much as you want if you need it".

"Mm, thanks".

Team B, who are mostly filled with girls, notice the sweet atmosphere between the three of them, and a sudden shock electrifies them, making their jaws open wide. "No way!". Everyone in the group has the same thoughts after seeing this trio.

"Huum, you greet the girls and intend to ignore me, Soma".

Serafina, who steps from the side to exert her presence, manages to catch Hina and Xiao Lian's attention.

"You two, be careful. I know you two have experience dealing with this, but this was a newborn one. The place is still fresh with many unknown monsters and traps that could endanger you two, so be wary about your surroundings".

"Okay, aha, you are such a worrywart, but I will do that; believe in me".

"Mm, okay Soma, I will do exactly as you told".

"So you're ignoring me, huh? Good, how dare you, for the first-year, ignore his senior greetings".

"Good, I must return to my team, see you later".

"Wait a damn minute, you punk!".

Soma, who intends to go back toward his group, was stopped by Serafina with a vein that sprouted from her forehead while holding his uniform collar. However, they had different builds; where Soma was an all-rounder with a strong Physique as his primary and Serafina, who had a strong magic capacity with slightly lower physical strength, was being dragged by the raw strength Soma had.

"What a brute".

A vein began to pop out from Soma's forehead, but he regulated his breathing and soon managed to calm his raging heart.

"Wait a moment, will you? Is it that difficult to answer my greeting?".

Soma stopped from his track, which made Serafina open her eyes in shock. She saw Soma turn his body back and, with a paste-like smile on his face, speak.

"Good day, senior. Then if you excuse me".

With swift feet on him, Soma disappears from her sight and returns to his own team, leaving all the other people who watch him stunned in silence.

"Humph, what a rude fellow, treating a girl like that, humph".

Serafina, who was fuming while letting out steam from her head, returned toward her team, and then she was consoled by her friends, Hina and Xiao Lian.

Soma sighs before muttering to himself. "I hope those two will be fine in their exploring, and for Serafina, I hope she is saved too. However, I'm sorry about earlier, but I want you to taste my sweet little revenge, Sera".

Two hours had passed as Soma, filled with tension seeing Hina and Xiao Lian enter the dungeon, made the other members who noticed it smile warmly toward him.

"Team-C, get ready to enter".

"Understood. Are you guys ready?".

As the team leader, Akane turns her back toward her members and gives them one last affirmation to see their resolve.

"Okay, let's enter".
