Eternal Labyrinth!

"I nominate Jack'O as a hero candidate!" 

Before Jack could protest, Leaf was already glowing in a myriad of colors, her hands joined in prayer. 

[You've Been Chosen as a Hero Candidate!] 

[Optional Quest: Elven Trials!]

[Accept? Y/N ?] 

Oh god! Why had she done this?! 

One had to know that this hero nomination was a HUGE deal. Oh, and failing it was terrifying for both the contestant and the sponsor. 

As for refusing? It was the same as giving up! 

He observed his elven companion. She didn't show any fear, only hope and a gentle smile, ready to sacrifice herself to give him the slightest chance at survival. 

This was the most touching and unnecessary sacrifice ever.

Should he walk away? He totally could! But as he saw her giving him a thumb up by the side, he couldn't help but give a wry smile. Tch— He'd at least give it a try. 

"Trials? Fine, bring it on!" He powerfully declared.
