While the others began their training to secure their spots in Team A, Emery was led to a different facility, one separate from the rest. As he walked through the corridors, it was clear that this was a place of great importance, with well-guarded areas and heavily secured doors.
He entered an empty waiting room and the magus who brought him said,
"Please wait, the vice commander will come for you shortly"
A sense of anticipation and curiosity filled him as he waited, wondering what kind of person or strength the vice commander of the expedition group would be. It had to be someone exceptional to lead such a vital mission.
After a brief wait, the door opened, and to Emery's surprise, a familiar young man stepped into the room. Recognition slowly dawned on him as he remembered who it was.
"Emery! Finally good to see you again," the man greeted him warmly.
