Teamwork

A few hundreds of meters away from the place where the five brothers and sisters were stationed:

"Damn those Shadowcrest bastards, they didn't let us get near them!"

"Yeah, I don't know how they got lucky and chose the most stable place from the beginning."

"Now they've fortified the place, and we can't even get close."

"It's hateful! If I fail here and get a lower grade, my parents will get angry."

"How about we team up? There are only five of them."

"That's right! Once we surround them, it's only a matter of time before we force them out of their place."

The group began discussing how they were going to infiltrate the place.

...

"Hah! It's so tiring, with so many more people coming here," Serene said, massaging her arms.

Although they had fortified the place, the torrents still needed ammunition to be loaded, which was tiring.

"Don't worry, there are only a few minutes left," Luke reassured her.
