Chapter 239: Beast Containment (2)

Seojun followed his assigned group into the forest. Their team had two Beast Doctors—him and another man—and six Awakeners. The group's leader was a strong-looking man in his 30s, experienced enough to handle this mission. The Awakeners in the team were C to B rank, meaning they were decent fighters.

As they moved, Seojun focused on the surroundings instead of introductions. He stretched his senses, feeling the flow of mana in the air, trying to pick up anything unusual. He didn't even notice when the others finished introducing themselves.

A strong hand suddenly grabbed his shoulder.

"Hey, buddy, are you okay? We've all introduced ourselves. It's your turn now," the leader said.

One of the Awakeners chuckled. "Maybe he's scared, boss."

The leader frowned slightly and looked at Seojun with concern. "Don't worry, as long as you're with us, you're safe."

Seojun blinked and nodded. "You can call me Jihoon."
