Ryujin were at the terrace sitting on the chair reading a book, Beomgyu were inside the church praying, Yeji and Felix were training harder than before. Soobin were just watching them from a distance, he was the one who's tough enough to take it. He saw how his fellow heroes take it harder and he can understand it.
He knew Felix doesn't really care for y/n but he was also surprised to see winter stay behind him, Beomgyu doesn't really take it hard but he can still feel sympathy for them, Yeji wasn't that tough... Even though she and winter doesn't get along well but Yeji is not the heartless one.
Ryujin on the other hand, her outside appearance might show her toughness but she was completely broken inside. Soobin walk towards her and he saw that the pages doesn't change and Ryujin were staring at the book with the same page for over hours, Soobin then places his palm above Ryujin shoulder gathering her attention.
"You have been staring at the same pages for over hours Ryujin" Soobin said
"Huh? I did?" Ryujin said
"Do you like y/n that much?" Soobin asked
"It's just.... I am not used to this.... It's my first time losing someone who's been with me..." Ryujin said
"I know, it's also same to me" Soobin said
"How can you take it so well?" Ryujin asked
"Because I need to. All of you might seem stronger than me but you are emotionally weak, in this world death is inevitable and you have to get used to it but never lose your heart... After all, heroes are not robots who doesn't have feelings" Soobin said
Ryujin smile softly "You are really fit to be a hero Huh?"
"No I am not plus I suggest Miss Wendy has it more harder than us" Soobin said
"Yeah.... Miss Wendy is so soft to her students especially y/n..." Ryujin said
"Yeah.... I heard that the king ordered the sorcerers to summon more heroes because the demons are getting stronger than before" Soobin said
"What?" Ryujin stood up
"The king said that losing the black priestess and absorber were a huge loss for us, we need more heroes" Soobin said
"I see..." Ryujin said
"I'll call Felix, Yeji and Beomgyu. We need to be present in that day, I'll explain to them" Soobin said
"Let me accompany you."
Frimora knocked on Wendy's bedroom door
"Wendy?" Frimora spoke
Wendy didn't answer
"May I come in?" Frimora asked
"Come in" Wendy spoke
Frimora went inside and saw Wendy sitting on chair writing on the paper and she was wearing the blue hairpin that you gave her. Frimora smiled and walk towards her
"He does have an eye for item Huh?" Frimora said
"Yeah..." Wendy said
"It suits you" Frimora said
"Yeah I can see it.... That young kid..." Wendy said
"Well... How are you feeling now?" Frimora asked
"Well...." Wendy said taking a pause
"I know it's hard.... Especially he is a lovely kid and Minjeong might act tough but you can see that he is her soft spot" Wendy said
"I know..." Wendy said
"Well I am also here to say that the king is summoning another heroes from another world" Frimora said
"Yeah I heard." Wendy said
"The summon will take place at the same spot and all heroes were present at the scene, it will happen after 5 days." Frimora said

Two unconscious bodies of a human were laying on the ground at the pool of a glowing water surrounded with colorful glowing crystals. One man and one woman, wounds and bruises were all over their bodies, the finger of a man twitch as he slowly opened his eyes

"Thank you so much young man!" He said
"I'll come by next time Sir!" You said and walk towards your group
Ryujin were watching you from the distance and she saw the innocent smile you have when you bought that blue hairpin and the purple necklace.
"You like someone?" Frimora asked
"Huh?" You look at him
"You brought a hairpin" Frimora said
Winter look at you
"Oh no.... I just found this hairpin will look good at her" you said

Then the king introduce himself and started to explain to them why are they here. Ryujin and the other hero were looking at them and the king introduce them to the new heroes.
"Please introduce yourselves Heroes" King said
"I am the great sage and also the leader of this group, Shin Ryujin. It's nice to meet you Wonyoung, Yujin, Taehyun and Huening Kai" Ryujin said
"Shin Ryujin?! Are you also one of us?!" Huening Kai asked
"Yes, we are from the same world. We are summoned here five years ago" Ryujin said
"Oh cool!!" Huening Kai said
"Why are you so excited about Huening Kai?" Yujin asked
"Oh come on! I told you that other world is real!! And we are here now!!" Huening said excitedly
"And who are the other heroes?" Wonyoung asked crossing her arms
"That's kinda rude young lady" Yeji spoke
"Oh sorry" Wonyoung said sarcastically
Yeji were annoyed by Wonyoung but she kept her posture
"Well let me introduce myself.... My name is Hwang Yeji the white priestess" Yeji said
"My name is Felix, the Beserker and strongest among us. Please to meet you beautiful lady" Felix said with a wicked smile
"Your quite handsome but your height is kinda... Short" Wonyoung said
Felix were annoyed but he kept his posture
"My name is Beomgyu and I am a great priest" He said

"Wonyoung!" Yujin bump her shoulder at her
"Ow!" Wonyoung look at Yujin

"Touch the mirror and you'll see your power" Felix said
"I'll go first!" Wonyoung said and touch the mirror
Wonyoung touch the mirror and shows her power and she was called the Flaming Priestess
"Oh a Flame Sage!" Frimora said and Wendy smiled
"What is that?" Wonyoung asked
"Flame sage are the one who specializes in bending fire and they were immune to any fire type magics. They are the strongest race of the sorcerer just like the great sage." Frimora said
"Oh cool" Wonyoung said
"I will go next" Taehyun said
Taehyun touches the mirror and shows also a Beserker which surprised the them
"Beserker? Like him?" Taehyun pointed at Felix
Frimora smiled "Beserker are rare beings, they hold a very destructive power and capable of killing thousands of enemies"
"Oh well that's cool" Taehyun said
"I'll go next" Yujin said
Yujin touches the mirror and shows the word Crimson Knight
"Oh Crimson Knight! They were also known as Red knights. They are the ones who have a superhuman strength and wield two swords, one big and one medium size. They are the same like the Beserker but their differences is that red knights are much more stealthy than any other knights making them a very formidable foe." Frimora said
"Oh that's cool" Yujin said
"Nice girl!" Wonyoung said
Yujin giggles
"Now it's my turn! What powers will I have?!" Huening Kai asked and touches the mirror
When his power showed everyone were speechless and surprise. The air seems quiet and even the king cannot utter a word.
"Um... This is kinda weird... Why everyone is quiet?" Huening Kai asked
"That can't be..." Frimora said
"That's impossible" Garsiv said
"Is it bad?" Huening Kai asked
"No..." The king said and cannot help but smile
The mirror shows the word "White Knight"
"Everyone rejoice!!! Finally peace it now at our hand!! The White Knight has been reborn!!" King said
They all cheered and rejoiced seeing the white knight has been reborn. Ryujin, Yeji, Felix, Beomgyu and Soobin were also stunned seeing someone were given the power of the white knight.
"I guess we are the strongest hero party then" Felix said
~•~
They started their training and Ryujin were watching them. They found them very friendly especially Huening, he was so excited and happy being in this world, they also asked for Ryujin's group advice and seeing them go out to gain some battle experience made them work harder on their training.
Ryujin, Yeji, Soobin, Beomgyu and Felix were at the living room along with Wonyoung, Yujin, Taehyun and Huening Kai.
"So you guys are the first hero party?" Yujin asked Ryujin
"Yeah" Ryujin said
"So there's five of you" Wonyoung said
"No, there are seven of us" Ryujin said
"Oh really?! Where are they?" Wonyoung asked
"They sacrificed themselves to save us from the demon monsters inside the labyrinth we came." Ryujin said
They were surprised and felt sympathy towards them.
"Sorry..." Wonyoung asked
"It's okay.... It's only been months since their death do it's still..." Yeji said but she can't utter any word
"May I ask what is their name?" Huening Kai asked
"It's y/n and Minjeong" Ryujin said
"May I ask what is their power?" Yujin asked
"Y/n is an absorber and Minjeong is a black priestess" Ryujin said
"They are really a great hero" Yujin said
"They were.... Those two lovers..." Yeji said
"They were lovers?" Yujin asked
"Well not officially but you can see it between them" Ryujin said
"Oh I see..." Huening Kai said
~•~
"Light Shock wave!" Huening Kai swing his sword on the air
A white shock wave started crawling on the ground, Frimora smiled and watch them
"Ground smash!" Taehyun said
"Feel the power surge on your body not just slam your sword on the ground or you'll never create a strong shock wave" Felix said
"Got it!" Taehyun said
Yujin swing her fist towards Soobin and he blocked it then she did a followup kick and Soobin blocked it and smiled at her
"Your improving Yujin" Soobin said
"Well you are good at your training oppa" Yujin said
"Well show me more skills!" Soobin said
"Fine then!" Yujin said
"Put more mana to it and you will manage to create a huge fire blast" Wang said
"Okay!" Wonyoung did what he said
"Good!! Now your getting a hang of it!" Wang said
Everyone were focused on their training, Yeji also started mastering the power capabilities she has so as Ryujin. Wendy were guiding them on how to develop their powers more.
"Do you guys have a picture of your two friends?" Yujin asked
"Well we do... I used a magic to generate our faces in a small piece of paper because you know there isn't a camera here" Ryujin said
Ryujin pulled out and show them the picture of your group along with Frimora, Garsiv, Wang and Wendy.
"Miss Wendy must've have liked this guy on the picture, you can feel how happy she was here" Wonyoung said
"That is y/n and this is winter" Ryujin pointed at you and winter
"She is really pretty" Wonyoung said
"She is..." Ryujin said
"I would love to meet her but I guess.... That will not happen" Yujin said
Ryujin just smiled softly
"Train hard! Until you guys reach your limit break and we will help you when you came to the world out there." Soobin said
The four new heroes finally reach their full potential and casted their limit break. They were welcomed at the heroes party and manage to became friends with them.
"Now, I am the leader of this group Shin Ryujin and please follow my instructions so that you won't get hurt." Ryujin said
"Okay!" They said
"Great, now we will take out leave captain" Ryujin said
"Sure thing" Frimora said
"Take care" Wendy said
The group went out of the castle and walk towards the forest. They arrived at the field and Ryujin stood in front of them
"Now as for your first task! The four of you will fight these normal goblins and don't worry they don't hold any special powers but never underestimate numbers" Ryujin said "We will right at the spot and watch the four of you fight and always remember work together, you are a group and not solo"
"Understood!" They said
"Now start!" Ryujin walk away
The goblins appeared, Huening Kai, Taehyun, Wonyoung and Yujin prepared themselves to fight.
"Okay.... Here we go" Huening Kai said
The goblin charged at them
"Fireball!!!" Wonyoung said
"Ground smash!" Taehyun said
"Dragon slash!" Huening Kai said
"Dragon tail!" Yujin swing her giant sword
They started fighting for goblins as the hero party watch them.
"They seem to get along very well" Soobin said
"The formation they have is great, they seem to have flaws but it's okay... We were also like that" Ryujin said
"I'll heal their injuries don't worry" Beomgyu said
Yeji were observing them
Some goblins manage to get to the back surprising Wonyoung catching her off guard
"What the-"
Wonyoung stopped the swords of the goblin with her staff
"Fire explosion!" Wonyoung said
"Nice timing" Ryujin said
"You okay Wonyoung?!" Yujin said
"I was just caught off guard" Wonyoung said
"Great now let's finish this mission" Yujin said
"Got it!" Wonyoung said
They finished the mission and Ryujin congratulated them and they proceeded on the next mission. The hero party started going on different kind of missions and even clearing a very small labyrinth. They were walking at the fields talking to each and on their way back to the capital when suddenly they felt huge amount of demonic pressure making them stop
"What is this feeling?" Ryujin asked
"This aura is too heavy" Yeji said
"I don't like this" Wonyoung said
"So am I" Beomgyu said
"This is something... Way too far..." Huening Kai said
"This is very interesting! Finally a challenge!!" Felix said
"Shut up Felix" Ryujin said
"Who are those people?" Soobin pointed at the two person in front of them
There was this tall man with white hair standing in front of the entrance of the forest, he was wearing a long black clothe with black cross earring of his left ear, red eyes and a sword at the back of his waist.
Then there was a woman who's sitting in the branch of the tree, she was wearing a long black dress and she has a cloak that covers her face and she was wearing a necklace.
"Oh well... Long time no see heroes" the man spoke
The woman giggles "Funny thing that they did change since the last time we saw them honey" the woman said
"Yeah and there's four new members" He said
"I see.... *giggles* interesting people" The woman uttered
"You guys look strong" Felix said with a smile
The man smirks and shows his fang
"Think you can take this?!" Felix charge at them
"Felix stop!!" Ryujin said
"Dragon Wave!!" Felix release a huge shock wave
"Take care of him honey" the woman said
"Okay" Man said
Then a giant black magic circle went in front of the man and absorb the blast of Felix surprising them
"That's a pretty strong blow of a Beserker now let me return it to you" He said and a black magic circle release a black red shock wave towards Felix
"What the!" Felix said
"Gravitational pull!" Ryujin pulled Felix back to the group "Red Barrier!" a barrier were wrapped around them and deflected the blow of the man
The man chuckles
"You bastard!" Felix said
"Stay down!" Ryujin eyes glowed sending Felix down into his knees "Don't you dare make a rash decisions... We don't know these people... From what I can see... They are powerful enough to bring us down"
"What shall we do?" Huening Kai asked "Their presence is definitely not something to take lightly"
"Just stay still... Don't make a move until I say so" Ryujin said and walk towards the two people
"Ryujin!" Yeji said
"Who are you people?" Ryujin asked
"Still has the same aura" He said
"What do you mean?" Ryujin asked
The man smiled
"Nice to meet you again.... Shin Ryujin" the man spoke
Ryujin were surprised
