The Author's POV

Chapter 214

Upon entering the dungeon, each respective team would be summoned to different areas of it.

The goal of this trial was to accumulate as many points as possible.

The points were.

===

G - One point

F - Two points

E - Three points

D - Four points.

Boss monster - One thousand points.

===

This dungeon only had one boss monster. As such, once it was slain, that was it.

The team with the most points at the end would win, and the reward for the best teams was extra credits for their courses.

Naturally, there were also additional rewards. But those weren't disclosed. They were a 'surprise'

The moment our teams were announced, I grouped up with the other members of our team. Since Aerin and I had already met beforehand, there was no need for us to introduce ourselves. We just simply nodded at each other.

"Nice to see you again"

"You too"

"haha, nice to meet you!"

Suddenly a bulky figure approached us with a hearty laugh.

It was John Berson, our other teammate, and another person I had to look out for.

He had a generic Western look with brown eyes and a tall nose. Despite knowing that he was tall, I only truly realized how tall he was once he was only a few meters away from me.

I had to tilt my head upwards in order to look at him properly.

"You must be Aerin! It's great meeting you. I've heard a lot about you!"

"Ah, yes, nice to meet you."

Spotting Aerin, John held out his hand in a friendly manner. She nodded her head expressionlessly.

Watching the exchange, I wondered if Aerin would shake someone's hand in her first meeting. From my impression of her, she seemed to be rather cold and distant so I wanted to know. My answer was soon answered as she shook it.

"You must be the famous John Berson"

"Haha, In the flesh"

Being recognized, John once again heartily laughed.

"I've already met with our other teammates, they are Asim, Melody, and Do-Yun"

Letting go of her hand, John calmed down. He then turned around and introduced her to the other teammates which he seemed to have met along the way.

"Asim here is a..."

As John was introducing the other teammates to Aerin, standing by the side I couldn't help but realize how much of an extrovert John was.

Only a minute had passed since the team announcements and it seemed as though he was on friendly terms with everyone.

He seemed to get along well with everyone he talked to.

Or so I thought...

'Hmm, hello, I'm also here'

It was only after a minute that I realized that I was being completely ignored.

To make matters worse, I was not an unknown extra like before. My name was pretty much all over the news, there was no way John didn't hear about me.

If before I could've understood, but now? It had to be on purpose.

'Did I perhaps offend him somehow?'

Recalling my previous exchanges with John, I discarded such a notion. I did not interact with him once. He also lived in a different city. How could I have offended him?

Then thought suddenly struck me, 'Perhaps he was too excited with the prospect of meeting Aerin that he completely forgot about me?'
