Crunch!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The soft snow got stepped on and left behind a trail of footprints. A group of players was heading deeper into the forest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...Why did the guild master tell us to come here?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Machary asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...You’ll find out soon.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...It’s the last evaluation.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Fourth-Liners told him, and a couple of them turned around and saw Fang Raon following behind them a slight distance away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unlike Machary, Fang Raon never tried to befriend them during the week and only focused on his own training.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It only worsened their impression of the guy because they really didn’t think Fang Raon would be a good leader with that kind of mentality.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was important to be good friends with the party members in order to work well together.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After walking for a while, they finally arrived at some closed-off cave on the side of a mountain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was closed off with signs saying, \"Warning: Do not enter.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...You watched that Hard Football match last night?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...Nah, it was way too late for me. I am not like you, who can survive with four hours of sleep. I need my beauty sleep!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A couple of players talked among themselves while they were waiting for someone, and after a while, two figures emerged from the depths of the forest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were Della and Miranda.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You all are already here. That is good.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Della said with a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...Guild master.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone greeted her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She then saw Machary and Fang Raon. They seemed confused about why they were here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This is the last evaluation. Both of you will lead the team of Fourth-Liners into the cave and prove your worth as team leader.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"There will be monsters inside the cave, and even a Mini Boss. It will be timed, so clear the cave as quickly as possible, and we will also take note of your performance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This is the most important part of the evaluation, so make sure to give it your all and show us what you’re made of.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Della said with a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a serious gaze, Machary nodded and patted the shoulders of the Fourth-Liners, saying, \"Let’s do it,\" and they gave him words of encouragement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, Fang Raon just stood with his arms crossed and looked to be thinking about something.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Why will she time it? Why does speed matter? Isn’t it better to just take it safe and carefully to avoid any mistakes?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Raon wondered with a frown.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He looked at Della and didn’t think that she was the type of person that would be happy with rushing things.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’If we’re trying to clear the cave as quickly as possible, we will make mistakes, and those mistakes can be quite costly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’They probably want to see if we’re foolish enough to put our team member’s lives at risk for something as stupid as a good time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’I should take my time and not rush it. I know what kind of person Machary is, and he will definitely attempt to have a good time.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Raon rubbed his chin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had a couple of ideas regarding the raid, and since this was a competition between him and Machary, he didn’t have to act nice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Who wants to go first?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Della asked with a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In that moment, Fang Raon immediately raised his arm before Machary had a chance to.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It made Machary look over to him with squinted eyes, and he knew that he was planning something, and thus he also raised his arm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I also want to go first.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Machary said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...This means that we must roll dice to decide.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Della said with a smile and brought out two dice from her inventory and rolled them in her palm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two young men walked over to her. They exchanged gazes. It was a heated exchange of gazes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Whoever rolls the highest number will go first.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Della said with a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They nodded while the Fourth-Liners watched from the sidelines.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In that moment, Machary took the dice, crouched on the ground, and hardened the snow by punching it several times.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It turned into solid snow ground, and with that done, he rolled the dice across the hardened snow ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The dice came to a stop.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[4]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[5]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Nine!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Della said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a sigh of relief, Machary picked up the dice and handed them over to Fang Raon with a half-grin on his face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’A nine is a really good score. There is a very small chance that he’ll get better than that. When we rolled dice after each raid, he never got more than nine.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Machary thought to himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was very confident that he would get to go first.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Raon looked at the dice, then at the hardened snow ground, and with a flick of his wrist, he rolled them across the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[5]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[5]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ooooooooooh!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Fourth-Liners exclaimed loudly, and Machary’s face changed colors, as this kind of luck by Fang Raon was just ridiculous.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It looks like I will be going first.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Raon said with a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...The time will start once you’ve entered the cave. You have time to talk to the members of your party now.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Della said with a smile and went to talk with Miranda about something regarding the test.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hello.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In that moment, Fang Raon approached the Fourth-Liners and looked them straight into the eye, and they greeted him back with just nods.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"My name is Fang Raon, and I am Warrior. I want to know every one of your names and Class Pathway.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...I am Rae, and I am Helper.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A girl with short-cut black hair said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...Niall, and Warrior.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A young man said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...Ocon, and I am a fully defense-oriented tank. I do not attack at all, which is why I don’t even carry an offensive weapon.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A yellow-haired young man said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Interesting...’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Raon thought when looking at him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I am Ira, and I am Ranger.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A young woman said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Luke and Mage.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Joanne, Ranger.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Nico, Mage.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sam and Helper.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Fourth-Liners finished introducing each other, and they saw that Fang Raon was already thinking about something.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’With me included, we have 2 Warriors, one Tank, two Rangers, two Mages, and two Helpers. It would help me to know each other’s skills as well, but I doubt I can memorize all of them in such a short time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’It is better to keep this simple.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Raon thought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Are you ready? If you are, you can begin whenever you want, Fang Raon, and since we’ll be taking notes, I will follow with Miranda while Machary here will stay outside.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Della said.\u003C\u002Fp>",1107,"2026-06-06T02:35:08.158Z",1,"novelbin.me","5f9251c685f456d3e9d90eb50c114b05f4a462be0cb367c20de35f8f2dbcc2b2","black-online-chapter-98","black-online-chapter-96",270,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fblack-online-cover.jpg"]
