Chapter 1378: Eschewing Magic

"Very well. When you are ready, step through the door. Your time begins the moment you enter."

Instructor Elda's words made the Adventurers perk up as they realised that they had to compete with and surpass their comrade.

Without realising it, they slowly edged away from each other as their sights were fixed on the dungeon and they flexed their muscles in anticipation ready to get into action.

Neron was only one person who appeared unbothered by what he heard.

He stood at the edge of the group and his eyes narrowed as he took in the details of the mock dungeon.

The atmosphere buzzed with a mix of excitement and tension, and he could feel the murmurs of the other hopefuls.

As they waited for their turn to enter, a young boy that appeared no older than Neron got close to him.

Neron was surprised by the boy's boldness as he wondered what quality in his person gave off the impression that he was approachable.
