Everyone look at Nishant with shock
Dragoon voice echoed in Ks mind
'' Bro he is built different ''
Everyone's stared at Nishant.
Ks ask Nishant in a serious tone
KS was the first to break the silence.
"...How long have you been an Earth Warrior?"
Nishant smiled faintly.
"About three years, I guess."
"I wanted to tell you."
"But I didn't want to drag you into this dangerous world."
A brief silence followed.
He looked directly at KS.
"But fate had different plans."
"It chose you to become the Dragon Warrior."
The room became quiet once again.
Finally, Tejas crossed his arms and spoke.
"Enough talking about the past."
"What about the future?"
He looked at both cousins.
"So..."
"Any plans?"
Everyone slowly turned toward KS.
KS looked around in confusion.
"...Why is everyone looking at me?"
"I don't have any plan."
Mizuki laughed.
"Then why are you our leader, Mr. Leader?"
Everyone burst into laughter.
Even KS smiled helplessly.
At that moment—
Nishant raised his hand.
"I have an idea."
The room immediately became serious.
"I recently heard about an ancient dungeon outside the city."
"It's completely restricted."
"No ordinary human is allowed to enter."
He leaned forward slightly.
"But many people claim they hear strange voices coming from inside."
"And according to old records..."
"...it may date back to the era of King Sanuo."
A spark appeared in KS's eyes.
Nishant smiled.
"So..."
"What do you say, Leader?"
"High risk."
"High reward."
KS looked toward Mizuki and Tejas.
Both of them nodded without hesitation.
KS smiled.
"...Fine."
"We'll investigate it."
"But not now."
"...Tonight is too risky."
"We'll go tomorrow evening."
Nishant nodded with approval.
"Good decision."
"You're thinking like a leader."
Just as Mizuki was about to say something—
Nishant's phone suddenly rang.
He glanced at the screen.
"...It's Dev."
KS sighed.
"Put him on speaker."
Nishant accepted the call.
"Hello?"
Dev's cheerful voice echoed through the room.
"Hey, Nishant!"
"I just remembered..."
"KS is in Moriar, isn't he?"
Nishant smiled.
"Yeah."
"I met him today."
Dev sounded relieved.
"Great."
"I need a favor from both of you."
KS already looked annoyed.
Nishant rubbed his forehead.
"...Go on."
Dev laughed.
"I knew you'd say that."
"Tonight there's a birthday party for one of our company's investor's daughters."
"It's about an hour from your apartment."
"I need both of you to attend in my place."
Nishant sighed.
"...Alright."
"I guess we can."
"Perfect."
Then Dev added playfully,
"And keep an eye on KS."
"He's still just a kid."
KS immediately spoke up.
"...I can hear you."
"I know."
"That's exactly why I said it."
The call ended.
Silence filled the room for a second.
Nishant looked at KS.
"So..."
"What now?"
KS shrugged.
"I guess our dungeon expedition is postponed until tomorrow evening."
Mizuki suddenly smiled.
"That's actually perfect."
KS looked toward her.
"Why?"
"Because Tejas and I are attending the birthday party of the Air Warrior tonight."
She laughed softly.
"I was just about to tell you..."
"...before Dev called."
The four of them looked at one another.
Without realizing it—
their plans for the evening had just become far more interesting.
