The strongest

Aisha and Miriam had been able to retreat, leaving Shane alone as the explosion occurred.

It was only a minute later that they had been able to pull away from the debris before they found Shane, who had been half lodged into the solid ground with small cracks appearing around the hole he had created.

He was unmoving and the young women rushed towards him, trying to figure out whether he was unconscious, or if something worse had happened.

Fortunately, that didn't seem to have happened, as they heard him mumble.

"That was crazy...fortunately I didn't stop transferring mana inside my mana membrane...."

Shane felt as if he wouldn't be able to move for a few minutes, if not an hour because the toll his mana veins had to take in order to prevent his death, had been pretty intense.

However, when Aisha and Miriam appeared next to him, he just smiled drily, 

"I guess you will enter my guild now, right?"
