A week had passed and they leveled up quite fast since they train almost everyday. Himchan had gotten a little bit comfortable with fighting although he got injured from each and every training session. Junhong and Jongup are fast learners and they learned fighting moves within seconds. Youngjae is more of a strategist as he likes to observe his enemies before attacking and a long-ranged attacker, just like Himchan but nonetheless, still as good as the others in close combat.

Daehyun was undeniably a very skillful fighter since he does have a past history of being a fencer. Daehyun is a short-ranged attacker because his eyesight wasn't that good and this makes his rivalry flame against Youngjae to burn even more, as the latter seemed to be acing in both.

The glass wall of Daehyun's training chamber slid down and he stretched his limbs, all cracking in the process. His training ended up quite satisfying; he managed to increase at least a level each day. He saw Youngjae and Junhong's chamber was already dark and empty while Himchan and Jongup are still diligently fighting.

Daehyun exited the area and decided to head to his room to recharge. Their room. He gritted his teeth when he walked past the challenge room. He had been using the room twice; both of it from challenging the same player. Code 04 aka Yoo Youngjae.

And much to his displeasure, he lost both of it. Not that significant in points, but somehow, Youngjae would always find a way to win.

He entered their room and his eyes immediately landed on Youngjae. Who was taking off his clothes over his head. The latter was back facing him so he wasn't aware of the other male's presence.

Daehyun's eyes, however, betrayed him as it wandered off towards Youngjae's back, his unblemished skin looks so soft and it made Daehyun to shake his head before faking a cough, telling the other of his presence in the room.

Youngjae was so shocked that he immediately had his back on the wall next to his bed while covering his exposed chest with his discarded black top. "The ?! How long have you been here?!" The younger was so red thay Daehyun almost thinks that he resembles a tomato. A fierce tomato.

Daehyun ignored the other and sat on his bed before taking off his training boots. "You're not somehow a girl in disguise, right?" He smirked as he proceeded to lay on his back with his arms under his head. " no." Youngjae hisses before he quickly put on a clean T-shirt.

Daehyun closed his eyes and planned to at least recharge a bit before Yongguk calls them for their training review in another half an hour.

Leader Bang entered the training area, only to find Himchan was left alone, still going on with his training. The older man watched the other shoot his arrow directly at the head of his last enemy before turning around, sensing another presence behind him. Himchan had improved so much since the first time he met the former. He looks more matured and stronger than before.

The pale guy let out a tired breath before smirking. He made his way out of his training chamber when the glass wall slid down. "How long have you been standing there?" He asked the oldest of the two when he reached by his side.

"Not too long ago. Just checking out your progress."

"Should I be flattered? The Leader came to me personally to check on my progress."

Leader Bang took back everything he thought of Himchan before. He's still the same Kim Himchan.

"Don't be." He paused when both of them heard a beeping sound and Himchan immediately take a look at his arm. "30% left. , no wonder I feel so tired-" The oldest immediately interrupted the other as he pulled him closer by the shoulder and injected something at Himchan's neck.

"Ow!! That's painful, you idiot!" Himchan struggled but Leader Bang held him firmly, slowly emptying the thick liquid that was occupying the small syringe. The oldest released his grip of the other and placed the now empty syringe inside the pocket of his coat, remembering himself to discard it later.

"That could at least make yourself useful later. I wouldn't want you to sleep while I'm reviewing your performance for this past week."

Himchan felt wobbly for a second as he felt his vision became blurry for a few moments. The leader managed to catch him as he stumbled forward and waited for the younger to adjust himself.

"What the hell was that?" Himchan asked before regaining back his composure. "This." Leader Bang said as he lifted Himchan's arm and showed him his health meter. "It fills at least half of your current health. You'll find this useful later when you're doing missions. By then, you'll be using a much powerful dose than this one."

Himchan was still adjusting himself from the pain surging from his neck and felt the warm liquid spreading throughout his veins. "You know what, Bang? Nothing you've said just now got into my brain so I'll just make a move now."

Himchan wobbly made his way out of the training area and Leader Bang just stood there, shaking his head whilst letting out a deep sigh. "Maybe I should train them in using the medicine..this is a lot harder than I thought." And sighed again.

"I'm thinking of letting all of you to start doing missions. It will increase your level tremendously if you succeed." Leader Bang said as he laced his slim fingers and placed them on top of the table. He had just finished on reviewing their performance and was telling them his plan on helping them out of this dimension.

"So far, from what I calculated, you'll need to be at least level 30 to make yourself to teleport yourselves back. I'll inform if new changes to be found." He ended and received a form nod from all of them. All except for a certain someone. "Code 02, any problem?" He asked as Himchan flinched in his seat."Not really. Still feeling weird from that liquid you injected me with earlier."

The others were clueless of the liquid in mention. "That as well. I'll have to let you guys to get use to the medicine as well because you'll feel weird when first time using it." He explained a bit about the medicine before proceeding with the mission details.

All of them stared the blueprint of the building they are going to infiltrate the next day. They sat in a circle with the layout of the building in the middle. The words from Leader Bang was still echoing inside Daehyun's head like a recording.

"I want all of you to do your very first group mission tomorrow. I must warn you though, it won't be easy. I expect all of to be very careful and to take this mission seriously."

Leader Bang projected the mission details on the transparent screen in front of them before explaining their task. "Tomorrow you'll be heading to the East Gate. You have to work together to retrieve a stolen document from one of our client. I will be monitoring all of you from afar so whatever damages occured, I can't help other than giving advises."

"What about strategy? We have to plan them ourselves?" Junhong finally asked.

I expect you all to come up with your own strategy."

"I have an idea." Daehyun began. "Since the document is further inside the building, I am sure that there will be a lot of people guarding the place. If we're unlucky, on every floor."

Daehyun pulled the blueprint closer to him before pointing at one of the plan. "This, we'll be entering from the front entrance-"

"The back door sounds safer. I think." All of them turned their heads to face the source of interruption. Youngjae. Daehyun stared dagger towards the younger male before he started explaining. "You do realise that we plan to sneak in without getting noticed-"

"My plan is to jump straight into action. It'll raise our level faster."

"And die faster."

Jongup and Junhong's gaze was alternating between the two as they started bickering and Himchan just let out a deep sigh. "Stop it you two." Himchan decided that he has to be the matured one and calm them down before they start rolling on the floor and tearing their throats out.

"Daehyun, I do think that your grand entrance and concern of levelling up faster is something to consider but Youngjae's right. We can't afford ourselved to get badly injured before the real fight against the boss. Sure, we can used medicine to heal but trust me, for a first timer to adjust immediately from the medicine is a miracle."

If not from his recent bickering with Youngjae and the fa ct that he rooted for his rival's plan, Daehyun would definitely clap for his friend's little speech. That is so unlike the Kim Himchan that he knows.

"Fine then, back door." Daehyun ended and the other took note of the rest of the startegy (with Youngjae frequently interrupting Daehyun with his ideas).

Himchan clapped his hands before taking the lead. "Now let's finalise everything. We'll enter from the back door," He paused and glanced over towards his friend who was scoffing and Youngjae who has a victorious smile on his face. "If we're lucky enough, we won't be having company until were at least at towards the top floor. Be on guard starting from the 10th floor."

"If the enemies appear, Himchan hyung and Youngjae hyung will shoot the automated guns on the ceiling while Daehyun hyung, Jongup hyung and I will take care of the guards." Junhong continued before Youngjae taking over.

"We'll slipt into two teams, Himchan hyung, Jongup and Junhong proceeding to eliminate all threats while Daehyun and I," Daehyun rolled his eyes. "will proceed to the room which the file was held. We'll try to fight the boss first and do as much damage as we can. Once all of the enemies outside defeated, all three of you will come straight to us and we'll fight the boss together."

"Heyyy, we're actually good at this!" Himchan gleefully clapped his hands.

"Goodnight Himchan." Daehyun said lazily, dismissing the meeting as he walked to his bed. Youngjae pat Himchan's shoulder lightly and gave him a small smile before standing up. "I think we're a good team, hyung." Jongup said with an innocent smile, just to make Himchan feel better.

"Oh shut up." Okay, wrong move.

Himchan sulkily went to his own bed and plopped down onto it. Jongup just stared Junhong in confusion before reciving a shrug from the latter. "Let's just go to bed, hyung."
