Who Solved the Ruins Problem!?

Even if reason tells them that such a thing is impossible!

However, once a person harbors even a sliver of hope, that thought can never be shaken off...

Just in case!

They weren't lying to them!

Without further hesitation.

Aimina and Eluna said in unison.

"We agreed!"

"Good! The bet is settled!"

Ian laughed heartily, then glanced at Uvogin Feitan.

He knew these guys were definitely seething with anger, so he spoke to them seriously.

"Uvogin, Feitan, and the rest of you should have heard about my bet with them, right...?"

"Your target is Netero..."

"Only those who can approach his level can win this bet, so everyone, don't rush to get angry..."

"If you want to refute someone, then let your strength speak for itself!"

Uvogin Feitan looked at Ian, and Ian looked at them intently as well.

"They are very capable, more than qualified to be your teachers, there's no doubt about that..."

"Therefore... if you really don't want to admit that you lack natural talent, then put in ten times, a hundred times the effort to completely refute their judgment!"

Hearing Ian's words.

"Tch... Seriously, Ian, you're ruthless enough to push us to our limits..." Feitan curled his lip, revealing Ian's true intentions.

"Don't worry, Ian, if you think we can do it, then... I have no doubts!" Uvogin grinned.

Ian casually draped his arm over their shoulders, completely ignoring Aimina and Eluna, and smiled.

"Of course, they don't believe in you, but I believe in your potential..."

"Besides, we're a team. If you're useless, how can I just sit idly by!"

"There are plenty of items to make you stronger... but you'll have to suffer a lot!"

Uvogin retorted angrily upon hearing Ian's words.

"Hey, Ian, who do you think you are? Even... even without using any gadgets, we can still surpass Netero... teacher!"

Towards the end, Uvogin a little guilty.

But then I thought about it, and with Ian as a witness, Netero really did want to take me as his disciple!

Calling him teacher is perfectly appropriate!

Ian gave him a thumbs up and smiled.

"With that fighting spirit of yours, Uvogin, I believe in you!"

"That's fine too. Since you've earned it through your own abilities, the enhancement items you obtain in the future can be divided equally among Feitan and Nobunaga..."

Upon hearing this, Uvogin's expression changed, and he quickly spoke up.

"Hey... well, we still have to use it. We're brothers. Even if Ian uses your gadgets to become stronger, it's still through my own abilities. After all, we're brothers!"

Feitan, standing to the side, couldn't help but scoff.

Uvogin glanced at him sideways and sneered.

"If you're so capable, then don't use it!"

Feitan immediately stopped laughing, his face darkening.

That idiot, I can't be bothered with him!

Ian hooked his arms around their necks and laughed.

"We promised to become stronger together, don't worry, it will all come true!"

Beside.

Nobunaga smiled and shook his head, while Chrollo lowered his head slightly, a faint smile playing on his lips.

In the corner, a tall man with a barely noticeable presence watched the conversation of the people in front of him with a simple, honest smile.

Just like Uvogin said.

They came out of Meteor City together, and along the way, each of them has grown stronger and stronger.

But... no matter how different their strengths are, they are brothers!

It's perfectly reasonable for the more capable to help the less capable...

For a moment, the atmosphere was filled with joy and harmony.

Machi Pakunoda stood to the side, watching the boys in the group grinning and laughing without any restraint, and a smile of satisfaction appeared on their faces.

With Ian around, their team... will never lack cohesion.

Aimina and Eluna looked at Ian, who was mingling with several teenagers, with some surprise.

Both of them were slightly taken aback.

Especially Aimina.

She had witnessed Ian's tough demeanor in the Ruins, and seen him wreak havoc Ruins. Even when clashing with her father, he was incredibly assertive and showed no mercy.

But... here.

Seeing how the other person interacted with their companions made him realize that the incredibly strong boy in front of him was really just a boy.

Aimina was slightly stunned as she watched the scene unfolding on the side of the hall.

"Hey, Uvogin, let go of me, I'm going to throw up, I'm going to throw up, we still have a big dinner later!" Ian cried out repeatedly, clinging to Uvogin's shoulder.

"You idiot Uvogin, why the hell did you carry me up too?!" Feitan, perched on Uvogin's other shoulder, looked grim.

"I don't care, from now on I will not waste any time to train!" Uvogin carried the two of them, completely disregarding the fact that the person next to him was squatting deeply.

"This idiot!" Nobunaga covered his head, unable to bear the sight!

Machi clenched her little fists. If there weren't so many people around, she would have knocked this guy unconscious with one punch!

Why are you lifting Ian when you're exercising?!

Chaos erupted on the field.

Aimina and the other woman stared blankly at them.

She and Eluna have been rulers for far too long...

I've forgotten how long it's been since I took off my mask and lived like this, truly...

"Sister, these guys... they're just like us back then..." Eluna said with a gentle gaze, looking at the scene before her with a hint of envy.

In response, when no one else was looking, Aimina delivered another feint punch to her head!

"Bang!"

Despite appearing to be a mature, grown woman, Eluna covered her head with teary eyes and glared at the aloof young woman beside her, speaking resentfully.

"Ouch! Why did you hit me again!"

Aimina straightened her dress and said irritably.

"You rascal, if you don't learn your lesson and keep your mouth shut, you might not even have the chance to see the outside world anymore!"

People were playing and laughing throughout the venue.

Through the glass window, you can see the afterglow of the setting sun.

Night is approaching.

The sky was dusky.

Located on the outskirts of the distant city of Gugurian, deep within the Forest, lies the entrance to the Gandor Ruins.

"Buzz--"

As a slow commotion came from the sky, two Airships landed directly there, and their doors opened one after the other, from which two completely different teams emerged.

The members of both teams were aware of each other's presence, but they paid no attention to each other.

Located outside the Ruins.

The Exorcism Team members responsible for guarding the area noticed their arrival and were very vigilant. However, they relaxed when they saw one of the groups of people in black uniforms.

"Exorcism Team Xikeli of the Third Squad of the Exile Team, greetings, sir!"

He tossed aside the Nen Gun in his hand and quickly straightened up and bowed!

The members in black uniforms noticed him and all smiled. They were members of the Exorcism Xie Group, which, theoretically, belonged to the superior department of the Exorcism Team.

Or rather, they were all outstanding performers in the Exorcism Team, which is why they were selected for this Special Forces to carry out even more dangerous missions.

"Where is Team Leader Kannari Rin? Take us there. I need to know about the resurrected Ancient Corpse in the Ruins!"

The square-faced, burly man at the head of the group asked the question.

Upon hearing his question, Xikeli's face stiffened, and his gaze darted away as he involuntarily looked behind him.

Wilson, the leader of the Exorcism Xie Group, frowned and said in a deep voice.

"What happened? Has something unexpected happened in the Ruins again!?"

"No... Sigh, Team Leader Wilson, the problem in the Ruins has been resolved. Team Leader Kannari Rin is resting with the Hunter Association people back there..."

Upon hearing this, the members of the Exorcism Xie Group all changed their expressions.

"Resolved!?"

"How could it be so fast? What did you do?"

Has the Ruins been successfully sealed?

Even the five members of another Special Forces, the Scythe of Judgment, who were standing nearby, frowned upon hearing this.

Their steps, which had been heading straight for the cave entrance, came to a halt.

He turned and walked towards Xikeli.
