"Well, that's disappointing," the blue-haired Z-Streamer said, his expression flat.
No one else thought to express their opinion, they just went in without any complaints.
Looking inside the room, Min-ho could see there was no other way out. No windows, no doors, nothing.
If they were attacked, there'd be no way out.
"There'd also be no way in," Savior said, and Min-ho's eyes widened.
"What did you just say?" he asked, suddenly feeling very exposed.
"I said there'd be no way in, not without our say so. These doors are much stronger than you think. There'd be no way in..."
"Cut the crap, how did you know what I was saying?" Min-ho asked, his senses on high alert.
"I already told you my Affinity."
"That has nothing to do with reading minds!" Min-ho shouted, drawing everyone's attention.
Even the Z-Eyes focused on the both of them, zooming in on their expressions.
Savior said nothing for several seconds, she just stared into Min-ho's pure black eyes.
"You were going to ask me if there was a way out. I may have confused reality with what I saw," she said, her tone sincere.
Hearing this, Min-ho calmed down a bit, though he still kept his guard up.
He stared at her, trying to make out the look on her face. But he couldn't discern anything. Her expression was flat, as it had been since he met her.
Gritting his teeth, Min-ho walked past her, making his way inside.
She followed, and then she pushed the door closed.
"It's going to be impossible to sleep with those lights," the blue-haired Z-Streamer said, both hands on his hips as he stared at the glowing carved crystals.
Everyone ignored him, they instead all placed their sights on Min-ho and Savior as they made their way in.
Noticing their gazes, he felt uncomfortable.
"Why are you all looking at me?" Min-ho asked, but no one said anything.
"They're all wondering if—"
"We should all get some sleep, the Fog won't be gone for another two hours, by then the sun would have set. We'll have to get up early tomorrow and make up for today. We'll be needing all the strength we can get."
The Blue-hair smiled to Savior cutting him off. He turned on his heel and pinned his gaze to her.
"Tell me friend, how does your Affinity actually work? Can you literally see everything that will happen? Do you have a Whiplash?" the Blue-hair inquired.
As he spoke, Min-ho was intrigued enough to steal a glance at Savior, but she said nothing.
She acted like Blue-hair had never spoken a single word as she reached a hand out for her Z-Eye which now had 21 views.
It floated to her hand, then with a mental command, the glowing numbers above it disappeared, and the Z-Eye had shut down.
"That's a shame, you don't trust me enough to tell me," Blue-hair sat on the floor.
Slamming both his hands into the ground, the earth moved under his command, creating a tent-like structure that covered him, shielding him from the light.
"To think you said we'd be teammates."
Everyone stared at Blue-hair's stone tent for a moment, mesmerized by his Affinity.
Min-ho didn't give it a glance for too long. Feeling exhaustion creep, he walked to the end of the room where conversation would be difficult, and lay down.
Savior's friend stared at him, she wanted to bring up small talk, but the distance between them would make things awkward, just like he wanted.
Saddened, she turned away from him, reached out for her Z-Eye, shut it off, and then lay on the floor.
In the moment that followed, a massive stone tent formed around Savior, her friend and the twins.
A smaller one was made for Min-ho, leaving him surprised.
"It'd be annoying sleeping with these lights," Blue-hair said with an indifferent tone.
"Thank you," Savior's friend said.
"No need to thank me, just didn't want you guys getting me killed out there cause you were tired," Blue-hair defended.
"I see," Savior's friend said, her tone flat.
Rolling his eyes, Min-ho ran his thoughts over everything he needed to do.
He didn't like it, but he knew that he needed these people if he was going to survive in this world.
He was going to get a team one way or the other, so it didn't matter how he got them.
Of course the thought of being their leader had never crossed his mind, which was one of the reasons Min-ho wasn't so fond of this crowd.
The other reason was why they decided on him in the first place.
Min-ho knew something was afoot, the way the twins stared at him, what Blue-hair was going to say before Savior cut him off.
She had promised them something, something that made Min-ho unable to rest. He needed to watch his back.
Worst case scenario would be that Savior saw in a vision Min-ho would acquire a crap ton of Coins. So she promised to kill him and share the spoils with the others.
The best case scenario was that she told them some lie to get them all together because she needed them.
Either way, Min-ho didn't want to be caught with his pants down.
Finding this to be the perfect time, Min-ho mentally summoned his System, and before his very eyes, it manifested.
[Name: Mee Min-ho, Rank: E]

Looking at the glowing screen that was only visible to him filled him with a sense of solace.
He didn't linger too long on this feeling before running his eyes across the screen.
Though he wanted to investigate many things, there was one thing in particular that itched away at his mind.
