Chapter 88: Dimensional Rift (3) (2)

Then youre in luck.

I continued speaking.

Get ready to leave this place.

The expressions on both of their faces momentarily froze, then turned to shock. Jenna stood up.

Oppa, you dont mean were finally leaving this place

Sorry, but no. Were just going to another waiting room.

I explained to them just like I did with Edis.

Listening to the explanation, Jenna and Aarons expressions changed rapidly, but in the end, they nodded in understanding. Afterward, I added that Anytng had sent a deployment request to another masters waiting room.

So, the three of us are going to another waiting room?

Thats right. Itll be for about a month. Well train in the facilities of the other waiting room and come back. Itll be a valuable experience.

Wouldnt it be better for someone else than me?

Aarons face darkened.

Didnt you want to become stronger?

Yes, but

Are you going or not? If you dont want to, I can replace you with Velkist.

After a brief hesitation, Aaron steadied his voice.

Ill go.

Good.

I nodded.

Requesting Aarons participation through mail was also a burden for me.

It had no merit for Anytng.

But he still agreed.

The three heroes Anytng requested to participate in the comments are,

Me, Jenna, and Aaron.

Should we prepare right away?

No, itll take about a week.

Recruitment would end tomorrow in Earth time. The announcement would be two days later.

There was about a week left in waiting room time. We couldnt depart right away. Jenna and Aaron didnt meet the recruitment criteria.

I checked both of their stat screens.

Both were at level 19, with their experience bars nearly full. With a few more rounds on the 19th floor, they would reach level 20. There were spare promotion tickets as well. There was plenty of leeway.

Anyway, I understand. Were going to another place in a week, right? This is starting to excite me a bit.

Jenna got up from her seat.

After patting Aarons shoulders once, she left the lounge. She seemed to have realized that there was something I wanted to discuss with Aaron separately.

In the lounge, with just the two of us left, Aaron spoke up.

Hyung-nim, about the Niflheimr you mentioned last time

Thats right. Its the place were going to.

I took a deep breath.

Well stay a month there. But for you, Aaron, it might not be a month. You may not be able to return here.

Aaron didnt respond.

The instructor position is vacant. Dica cant handle it alone. You have another option besides fighting. Yet, are you determined to walk the difficult path?

I

Aaron finally spoke.

Ill go.

Alright. Theres nothing more to say then.

I said.

Be prepared. You either become stronger there or theres a high chance you wont make it.

Yes.

Ask Edis to give you the permission to leave the party. Your training wont be done in a month. Itll take a year.

It takes that long?

Did you think youd become strong in a snap of your fingers and come back?

I chuckled and stood up from the couch.

After roughly tidying up the chessboard on the table, I stuffed it into a drawer. Chess. Maybe it would be okay to play it when I have some free time. I didnt know why it was here in the first place.

Time passed.

Edis accepted Aarons departure request. Returning could take more than a few months, or he might not be able to return at all. There was no option other than acceptance.

The preparations for meeting the conditions also began.

19th floor. The members were me, Edis, Eloka, Jenna, and Aaron. It was a mixed composition of two parties.

The 19th floor was slightly more difficult than the 18th, but the analysis was already complete. Two of them quickly reached level 20. Promotion proceeded smoothly. After extracting the soul stones, Anytng immediately evolved them into 3-stars. I decided not to ask what memories they had seen.

And then, the announcement day.

The list of candidates included Anytngs account name.

It was an unbelievable condition. They applied for not one, but three. Yet, they won with a probability of over 100 to 1. It couldnt be a coincidence. I confirmed my hypothesis here.

This recruitment event is related to me.

Furthermore, they have information about me.

Otherwise, they wouldnt have matched the conditions exactly.

Its convenient.

I saved myself the trouble of finding them.

Once the announcement was confirmed, I called the other members of Party 1.

After the explanation, Velkist spoke.

Are you leaving this place for a long time?

Yes.

Are you going to train somewhere else to become stronger?

I nodded.

Velkists expression turned displeased.

Why am I not on the list?

Why not me! Neryssa joined him too.

I said.

Ill let you all go when the time comes.

Niflheimrs training service had a good reputation.

Although it was for the sake of obtaining Gems, I took it seriously. The nearly 20,000 application comments were the proof. There were negative reviews about the service, too, but

Listen to Edis carefully, especially you, Velkist.

Are you worried so much?

Velkist chuckled.

Its not just worrying. I dont have the slightest doubt.

Neryssa grinned.

Velkist drew his sword. I kicked Velkists right hand and the sword went spinning, sticking into the table.

Are you guys ten-year-olds?

I sighed involuntarily.

Anyway, dont cause trouble until I come back.

Are you sure youll come back?

What do you mean?

Is there a possibility of changing affiliation?

Velkist sheathed his sword.

His face was expressionless.

Hes hitting the mark.

I said.

Its not like its not there.

Then.

Dont worry. I dont have that intention.

It definitely exists in Pick Me Up.

How to change a heros affiliation.

Niflheimr has expanded by supplying and recruiting talent through various methods other than its own summons.

Its a change of affiliation.

I have no intention of doing that.

Not yet.

I swallowed the rest of my words.

And again.

A few days later.

A message appeared on the masters screen.

[Notification!]

[Niflheimr affiliate, LandGrid07, demands a port call.]

[Will you accept?]
