"That may be," the man replied thoughtfully,
"but a healer could still make all the difference in a raid like this."
Timothy tilted his head slightly.
"You're not from around here, are you?"
The man offered a faint smile.
"That's... classified."
Timothy shrugged, undeterred.
"In that case, how about we join your team instead? I'm self-sufficient, I follow orders, and I won't drain your resources."
The man stepped back, briefly exchanging hushed words with each of his team members.
After a round of whispers, he turned back toward them.
"What about your companion?" he asked.
"The same applies to me," Miriam replied calmly.
"Are you both mages?"
"I'm a warrior," Timothy answered simply.
That earned him a satisfied nod.
"You're in."
After that, their team quickly selected a camera operator, bringing their number to eleven.
With everything in order, they registered under Vanessa's supervision.
Timothy's group was the fifth team to enter the dungeon.
