Chapter 416: Anfang Badlands

"You showed up on time today. That's a fresh change. Hehehe!"

Arjun welcomed Eren when he saw him approaching. This was the meeting spot they had chosen to gather before heading up for their usual clean up mission.

"I'm not someone who always runs late, you know. I had been very busy settling my affairs in the early days of coming to this place."

Eren replied to Arjun with a light smile.

Eren's squad had 33 members. There were seventeen Ace rankers in the team along with an equal number of rookie soldiers in the Novice ranks.

Of course, not all of the 33 soldiers had been gathered at once at the same place. Life at the army camp required squads to divide their schedules in such a way that things would work for all of them. There were too many tasks given to a single squad. So the squads would be divided into groups of two or three depending upon the task.

"Heh! I wouldn't be surprised if the guy gives the same excuse not to show up when our squad runs into some trouble."
