"Could Lixi make me my first brew of... coffee?" Yuecunze practically spat out the words through gritted teeth.
"Whatever." Shiina Tatsuki gave him a strange look. "And besides, who gave you permission to call me by my name?"
"Just now, Rinrin-senpai only called you by your first name, and I don't know your last name, so I can only call you by your first name."
BYD reacted quite quickly.
You're definitely waiting to see me make a fool of myself, aren't you?
A moment later, Shiina Tatsuki slammed the cup down in front of Koshimura Sawa with a "bang," then served Chihaya Aine an iced latte, returned to her seat, and silently stirred the coffee in front of her.
No, are you suggesting discriminatory treatment?
"I didn't expect you to look so scary, but your coffee is actually quite delicious." Chihaya Aine took a sip of her iced latte and squinted her eyes in satisfaction.
"Huh? What do you mean by 'looks so scary'?"
"Speaking of which, we haven't formally introduced ourselves yet, have we?" Chihaya Aine clapped her hands, not continuing the conversation, seemingly her real purpose being to coax Shiina Tatsuki into speaking first. "I'm Chihaya Aine! A first-year student at Haneoka High School, my profession is a level 2 Dragon Vein Mage, and my goal is to build the world's number one adventure party!"
"Yuecun Ze, a level 2 cursed sword sorcerer, is also a first-year student at Yuqiu." He picked up his coffee, took a sip, and found it was a bit hot, but he was too embarrassed to spit it out, so he could only force himself to swallow it.
Luckily, I'm a Genshin Impact player, so this little bit of heat is nothing to me.
Chihaya Aine immediately turned her expectant gaze to Shiina Tatsuki next to her, her smiling eyes filled with "It's your turn, it's your turn."
"What, why should I accompany you to do this..." Shiina Ritsuki exchanged a glance with her, and finally gave in, "...Shiina Ritsuki, a first-year student in Hanasakigawa, is a level 3 warrior - Echo Knight."
I'm sorry, sir, I didn't recognize you just now.
Yuecunze suddenly sat down.

In most people's minds, mages are the main damage dealers, while warriors are generally only responsible for tanking damage in the front line and contributing some physical damage.
But little do they know, in the eyes of us D&D players, warriors are the real fathers!
Putting everything else aside, once you reach level 11 and get Triple Strike and Great Weapon Mastery, you can fully utilize Haste to create a superior buff, then activate Action Rush, and in one turn you can unleash a devastating amount of damage that will surprise and delight your enemies!
The Warrior's subclass, Echo Knight, possesses burst damage, survivability, self-protection, and the ability to support teammates to a certain extent.
Vishdale, comparable to Ark; Notica from 1999; Star Platinum from JoJo's Bizarre Adventure; Zilu Fu from Border Bus; Ice Watermelon launching Doom Mushrooms; a pure hexagonal warrior.
"I'm so sorry, there were so many people outside, I almost knelt down to you." Koshimura Sawa quickly ran to Shiina Tatsuki's side and grabbed her hand. "Oh my god, Shiina-sama, please join my adventure troupe for life!"
"Huh? What are you saying?" Shiina Tatsuki hurriedly blushed and tried to break free from his hand, but he held on too tightly and she couldn't pull away even after several attempts.
"Huh? Sawarin, there's no need to look for her. I don't want to form an adventure team with her."
Shiina Riki finally snapped. "Are you two just here to torture me?"
Hearing the commotion, more and more people turned around and started whispering among themselves.
"I'm sorry... Sawarin sometimes likes to do some outrageous things, don't take it too seriously..." Chihaya Aine quickly dragged him back with both hands and feet, a sheepish smile on her face.
Tokyo Arno, what do you know?
Back when I was young, I was also a fan of art style. I took every game seriously, sacrificing strength for art style, and even writing 10,000 words about character backgrounds. It wasn't until I grew up that I realized strength is everything.
"No, my damage dealer..." Koshimura slumped into his chair as if he had lost his soul.
Shiina Riki: "......"
She took a sip of coffee to calm herself down and finally asked the question that had been lingering in her mind.

"So...why were you chasing the light just now? Why did the light suddenly run away?"
"Ah! Well..." Chihaya Aine scratched her face a little embarrassedly, "Actually, I was the one pursuing her because I wanted to invite Akari to join my adventure party, but for some reason, she ran away as soon as I finished speaking, which was perfect..."
"You invited the Lantern... group of adventurers?" Shiina Riki's face instantly darkened, and he frowned.
Chihaya Aine was taken aback by the sudden question, then became somewhat annoyed: "So what if I am! I'm saying, talking to people like that—"
"The worst."
"Huh???" Chihaya Aine looked incredulous, her gray eyes widening, and her cute little fangs showing through her open mouth in surprise.
Sitting next to him, Yuecun Ze silently picked up his coffee and leisurely took a sip.
Hey, they're all back! They're all back, my center goalkeeper!
The faith of the older generation of revolutionaries!
"Lamp... she's no longer fit to enter the void, and you actually invited her to join an adventure group? Are you trying to kill her?!" Shiina Riki's eyes were icy cold.
"I..." Ai Yin was speechless for a moment after being rebuked, her face turning bright red. "How do you know Xiao Deng isn't suitable?! You're not her! And what's wrong with forming an adventure team? Isn't it good for everyone to get stronger together and help each other?"
"Because of C—" Shiina Riki stopped mid-sentence as if choking, lowered her head, and silently clenched her fists.
Just as Koshimura was about to say something, she suddenly stood up, pushed her chair away, and turned to leave.
Oh no, this looks like things have gotten really out of hand.
Shiina Tatsuki practically fled into the RiNG backstage staff lounge, slamming the door shut behind him and shutting out all the noise.
The lounge was empty, with only the white light from the overhead lamp illuminating her pale face.
She sat down against the cold door, breathing heavily, her chest heaving.
Memories flooded her like a burst dam, instantly shattering her feigned composure.
"lamp..."
She buried her face between her knees and murmured softly.

"Nagasaki Motoyo, use a protective spell! Use a protective spell quickly!" Shiina Tatsuki, the first to recover from the shock of the owl bear's appearance, shouted anxiously.
However, Nagasaki Motoyo, who usually silently protects everyone and gently soothes all their pain, now slumped to the ground, panting heavily, tears streaming down her face like broken beads, oblivious to her unfocused eyes.
Shiina Ritsuki gritted her teeth, instinctively wanting to rush forward.
But it's too far.
She could only watch helplessly as the owl bear's terrifying forelimbs, thicker than an adult's thigh, slammed down on Toyokawa Shoko with unstoppable force.
Toyokawa Shoko instinctively raised her right hand to block.
then--
tear.
The raised arm was torn off as easily as a toy, leaving a trail of blood in the air.
She fell into Nagasaki Motoyo's arms.
Everyone was stunned.
The sight of blood and severed limbs was so overwhelming that Takamatsu Akari fainted instantly, as if her bones and soul had been ripped away, her small body curled up on the cold rock.
Wakaba Mutsu stood there blankly, her pupils shrinking with extreme fear. The guitar slipped from her weak hands and fell to the ground with a crisp sound of breaking wood and a piercing buzz.
Dead silence.
Apart from the owl's deep, threatening growl and Xiangzi's increasingly faint breathing, only a suffocating silence remained in the hollow.
"what--!!!"
The deathly silence was broken by Nagasaki Motoyo's scream.
Desperate cries and painful wails pierced Shiina Tatsuki's eardrums, bringing her back to her senses.
As the only person on the field who might still retain some rationality, she instantly understood something.
It's impossible to win.
Ultimately, they are just a group of junior high school students who have become professionals ahead of time.
Because of his talent, he became complacent after successfully exploring the Void for the first time, treating entering the Void as a childish after-school activity.
Only when death was imminent did they realize that they couldn't even muster the will to resist.
It's impossible to win...
Something has to be done.
But no one ever told her what to do in this situation.
Normally, Xiangzi takes care of all the adventure team's supplies, training plans, and command of battles, and they all feel that this is only natural.
After all, Xiangzi is so smart and capable, does he really need them to interfere?
Now, her mind is completely blank.
Something must be done.
We can't just... watch everyone... die here...
Shiina Riki drew his sword.
Then, he did something he never expected.
"Newborn! Look this way!!!"
She screamed at the top of her lungs.
He gripped the longsword tightly with both hands, his anger and despair fueled by a desperate, all-or-nothing gamble.
Like moths drawn to a flame, they charged toward the enormous creature that had already opened its massive jaws before Toyokawa Shoko.
boom.
A dull thud.
Xiao Xiong didn't even look at her directly, simply swatting her away casually as if she were a fly.
Before Shiina Riki could feel any pain, his vision was instantly swallowed by darkness, and his back slammed heavily against the cold stone wall. Warm liquid gushed from his nose, and a strong metallic taste filled his mouth.
However, perhaps it was Shiina Tatsuki's seemingly futile attempt that worked, as Owl Bear appeared to lose interest in Toyokawa Shoko and turned to leave.
In the last instant before he was completely plunged into boundless darkness and lost all consciousness, Shiina Ritsuki's gradually dilating pupils suddenly contracted.
Seeing the owl bear walk towards the unconscious, curled-up figure on the ground—
Takamatsu lights.
Chapter Twenty-Three: The Giant Cat (Revised)
Outside RiNG, the evening breeze was refreshing, and the streets were gradually filling up with people.
"What kind of attitude is that girl?" Chihaya Aine pouted, kicking pebbles on the road in a huff, her pink hair swaying. "I just invited Koyuki to join the adventure party, what's it to her?"
"I think she might be thinking of Takamatsu's feelings too," Koshimura recalled Shiina Tatsuki's reaction earlier. "Perhaps there's some hidden reason we don't know about?"
"Even if you're worried about Akari, you can't talk about her like that," Chihaya Aine muttered under her breath, but quickly regained her fighting spirit. "But no matter what, I won't give up on inviting Akari to join the adventurer's party. She's a level 3 bard, you know, a bard?"
I know that. She's a humanoid succubus, a negotiation tool, the safest member of the team when things are dangerous, and the most dangerous when things are safe.
[Still slandering? If you're so capable, then don't accept encouragement when it comes.]
I was wrong, brother. There were a lot of people outside, so I knelt down for you.
This part has already formed a path dependency.
