Not that she was shocked she got stuck in Group B, but the fact someone who was ranked [i]92nd[/i] was the designated leader and not someone like her who had fought to earn her place in the [i]top twenty[/i]. Aaginim wasn’t the type to punish her. Setting lines in the sand was normal for him, but to actively try to put her in her place? That wasn’t something that bastard would do. He didn’t have the [i]balls[/i]. As Graves shouted out she nearly wanted to march over to Aaginim and yell at him point blank about how she should be the leader and who the fuck he thought he was to put someone like [i]Benkei[/i] in front of her. She didn’t care that she was forced to work with Kalie, Alja, and Graves. She could deal with that. People disliking her never stopped her dungeoneering gameplay to drop. In fact, people who disliked her relying on her was something of an ego boost for her. If anything it [i]heightened[/i] her gameplay. She scowled, rolling her eyes before downing the last bit of ale in her tankard before scanning the room. A group was gathering around a kid who wasn’t much taller than she was. Her brows narrowed as she pressed her fingers against her eyes. Wait. Why was everything a little blurry? She dismissed the thought as she unknowingly didn’t think about how the in-game alcohol was actually affecting her like a few too many shots of Saki would in the real world. She maintained her footing despite this as she moved forward. God damn it, Alja was loud. Louder than usual. But was she? When she arrived at the crowd of players that were designated as her partners for this dungeon she looked closely at Benkei. [abbr=“Who the hell do you think you are?”][color=A84B5E]“自分が何様だと思ってるの?”[/color][/abbr] She managed, without sounding too inebriated. However, before he could respond she waved her hand, as if telling him to don’t bother in responding, [abbr=“Forget It.”][color=A84B5E]“忘れろ.”[/color][/abbr] [color=A84B5E]“Tell me where to be and I’ll keep you losers from getting killed.”[/color] She finally said in the naturalistic language of Aetheria.
