Michelle nodded vigorously in response to Rudy's instructions.

"Don't worry, young master Rudy, I won't let you down. I will definitely pass the trial."

After greeting the other acquaintances, Michelle and the others entered the maze.

The first layer consisted of weak goblins, so the four of them weren't worried.

"Ahem, well, now that we have a general understanding of each other's abilities and divine seals, let's discuss formations."

Kane suddenly spoke, drawing the attention of the other three.

"I have no objection. I can go first, after all, I'm a melee fighter."

Michelle raised an eyebrow and said coldly:

“My divine weapon is a bow, so I’ll be at the very back. Nancy, you have a staff, which also supports ranged attacks, so we’ll be at the rear.”

"Uh... actually, my Divine Seal Armor is more suitable for the rearguard."

Kane said tentatively.

"I don't want to."

Michelle promptly rejected the suggestion.

Kane was immediately puzzled.

"Why? Although Michelle's Divine Seal Armor is indeed advantageous for long-range support, in this situation, as a boy, I feel it's necessary to protect my teammates in the rear."

"Hmph, I appreciate your kindness, but my back will only be turned to young master Rudy!"

“…”

After he finished speaking, the other three fell silent.

Nancy blushed and stole a glance at Michelle, looking incredibly shy.

Kane felt like he'd been fed a dog food (a Chinese slang term for witnessing public displays of affection), and he was a little uncomfortable.

Michelle clearly didn't trust him much, believing he wasn't a teammate she could entrust her back to.

"Okay, I'll go in the middle, Will, you go in the front, any problem?"

Kane quickly composed himself, smiled, and asked for Little Di's opinion.

Will Jones responded with an elegant smile and a nonchalant reply:

"I'm fine with either way. I was planning to go first anyway. If you two lovely ladies are interested in getting married after seeing my handsome appearance, please let me know."

"I would never have such thoughts!"

Michelle and Nancy rolled their eyes at him in perfect unison.

Will Jones shrugged, looking indifferent, and took the lead.
