章 1813: Recruits

Later that day, a new group of three Magus arrived at Ebiru 6, their eyes filled with awe and wonder as they gazed at the impressive surroundings.

The first among them, a burly man with braided hair, couldn't contain his amazement. "Wow, even the guards here are all magus-level. Is this the standard for all grade 5 factions?" he exclaimed, his voice echoing with admiration.

The second, a younger burly man with messy brown hair, playfully teased the first. "You're not feeling intimidated, are you? Please don't embarrass me, senior" he said with a grin.

The first man shot back with mock indignation, "How dare you speak to your senior like that?"

The younger man's grin widened. "Well, considering you've never defeated me even once, you should be grateful that I'm even acknowledging you as a senior... senior."
