The Mysterious Symbiotic Monster

After introducing themselves, Tornado and the others finally gained a complete understanding of the makeup of this S-Class Adventurer Group.

It could be said that everyone here was either the child of an Imperial official or a member of the Royal Family.

Because of that, Tornado began looking at Ace with suspicion. After all, second-generation heirs were usually unreliable.

She had every reason to believe that the Adventurers' Guild had forcibly promoted this group of privileged heirs to S-rank Adventurers in order to curry favor with the Emperor or high-ranking officials.

Ace seemed to sense Tornado's gaze and winked at her.

The two of them then headed to a quiet spot nearby.

"Ace, wiping out Symbiotic Dragon-level Monsters isn't a joke. Is it really appropriate for you to put together a group of spoiled heirs?"

As soon as they reached the spot, Tornado could not help grumbling.

Ace was speechless.

"Do you think the Emperor's younger brother is useless, or do you think the little princess of the Imperial Chancellor's family rose through the ranks through connections alone?"

"Isn't that exactly the case?" Tornado rolled her eyes without backing down.

Ace immediately smacked his forehead.

"Tornado, I can only say that you're overthinking this. Don't judge the Empire by ordinary society, all right?

Besides, I'm the captain of the Salus Adventurer Group. I would never joke around with my team members' lives.

Not to mention Seniors Sasuke and Naruto—take Senior Hinata, for example. He isn't just the little princess of the Empire's foremost noble family. He's also the Emperor's disciple and possesses the most powerful Kekkei Genkai, the Tenseigan.

With him around, we can ensure the greatest possible safety when scouting and investigating enemies.

Even when facing a Dragon-level Monster head-on, he's an absolute mainstay of our team. Don't underestimate
