"After conquering the independent city of IronClaw, the warriors from three different groups—the Royal Berillan Warriors, the Band of the Sirens, and the Band of the Sun—traveled back toward Alku village. They left the city of IronClaw with pride, the spirit of victory still burning in their hearts. However, some soldiers found it tough to let go of their comrades-in-arms who had died in the war. Among the many Lonewolves who had participated, only Eran remained. Before them lay a vast grassland that stretched so wide it seemed to be lost on the horizon. A cool breeze caressed their faces as they continued to advance through the grassland. "Looking at this meadow, I feel how beautiful nature is," Taneaya said with a smile. "We should thank nature for giving us the strength to fight." The other members of the Band of the Sun agreed, nodding their heads at Taneaya's words. They had been through an intense battle, but this beautiful landscape renewed the

Eran was still awake, he rested his chin on his hand while looking at the scenery outside through the window of the carriage.Eran and Taneaya sat facing each other, the atmosphere was tense along with the cold gaze that the beautiful gray-haired girl threw.Taneaya started the conversation with a slightly sarcastic tone, "So, what do you mean by insulting us in the guild? I don't understand why you, a foreigner, dare to insult our band."Eran's reverie was interrupted and he looked at Taneaya with a flat expression, "I was just expressing my opinion at the time, after all, it was a guild officer who asked me. And there was nothing wrong with what I said back then, there wasn't even an element of insult."Taneaya shook her head in annoyance, "Opinion? How could you express an opinion like that to us? Do you think you're better than us?"Eran smiled sarcastically, "I have never claimed to be greater than anyone. But I have my principles and stances."Taneaya squinted, "You're confident

They stopped by the only old tree in the middle of the park."I'll be serious from the start as you requested. Are you sure, Eran?" asked Theo as he took out a thin sword from its sheath."A man speaks with his sword," said Eran as he took out his two daggers."Wow, I'm surprised, even with a suit like that you can hide your two daggers," praised Theo.Tonight the moon was full, the park was very quiet. Its light refracted until it illuminated every corner. Without anyone knowing, without anyone seeing, this battle witnessed their strength.Without a signal their battle began, Eran disappeared from Theo's sight, then a split second suddenly appeared in front of Theo. Eran quickly attacked with his two daggers, but Theo had no trouble parrying Eran's attacks. His daggers continued to look for gaps to penetrate Theo's defense, but Theo beautifully parried them all.Not running out of ideas, Eran increased the speed of his attacks almost imperceptibly, it was not enough for him to penetr

Cheers echoed through the tavern as the tankards clashed, an air of celebration spreading throughout the place. The night was filled with laughter, singing, and camaraderie, stories shared, jokes exchanged, and heard outside the Tavern.Amid the celebration, Theo took the opportunity to introduce Eran to his fellow mercenaries. The room was silent for a moment as curious eyes turned to Eran, intrigued by the presence of the skilled warrior who had played a crucial role in their recent victory.But things were not as Eran had imagined. Uldor, Kain, and Catallina greeted Eran with sincerity. A visibly embarrassed Taneaya also welcomed Eran.Gorstag voiced his disapproval, "This band is reserved for those who have proven their loyalty and fought on our side from the beginning. We can't just accept outsiders with open arms."Eran, showing his typical confidence and wit, retorted in a mocking tone. "Ah, Gorstag, always quick to judge. Perhaps you're afraid I'll defeat you
