The announcement was a little too unexpected, so I found myself getting way more occupied.
Our guild mother, Lee Sang-hee, was in charge of educating our party about the exploration, and what was left of our spare time was spent trying to achieve our daily tasks.
The sad fact stood – our party had zero experience when it came to hunting or dungeon explorations. We could have said that the tutorial dungeon gave us some notion, but survival dungeons wouldn't be considered as experience by other people.
In other words, our party had skipped the typical beginner's growth process. They had chosen for us to enter an advanced type dungeon without stopping to consider our experience.
Of course, it might have been possible for people to overlook this as we had been quite the popular party in Lindel, but we all knew within ourselves that we were still newbies to this sort of thing.
This was why we tried our absolute best to pile up as much basic dungeon knowledge as we could before the due date came.
When a party moved together, the best practice would be to practice formation to prevent the weakening of defenses and memorize monsters' types and characteristics.
In short, we were cramming both mental and physical training in preparation for the dungeon exploration. Thus, we were receiving special attention from the Blue Guild. Every member wanted to make sure we were in tip-top shape so as not to get left behind.
'I don't know if we'll be able to do this successfully, but...'
We were indeed very lucky to have been given a chance to join a joint exploration this quickly, considering that we were newbies. It also felt weird to move with parties from other guilds, but looking from a different perspective, it meant that our safety was guaranteed. Plus, we would also learn a thing or two by watching their formations and react to certain situations within the dungeon.
However, that didn't mean I was underestimating my party. In actuality, our fellow guilds' levels weren't that high compared to ours. It was just the experience in dungeons that separated us from each other.
In short, we were still very lucky to be given this opportunity.
"By the way... Are you really going to take Kim Ye-ri with us?"
"Yeah. It may be dangerous, but it will be a great experience for her. Being young and new to this sort of thing is both an advantage and a disadvantage."
"I see."
It was quite surprising that Kim Hyunsung had also chosen to take Kim Ye-ri with us. However, I knew that he must have decided to do so for a reason. Kim Hyunsung wasn't the type to take a risk when he knew that it might put the whole team in danger, after all.
In any case, our party rushed to complete our preparations before the due date came.
Kim Hyunsung was the one who was particularly assigned to attend the meetings outside, and it was through this that I could feel that our first expedition as the Blue Guild's Seventh Division Party was fast approaching.
Finally, the day of the dungeon exploration came.
"Deokgu, have you packed everything that we need to bring?"
"Of course. Well, some of the guild members already packed their luggage in advance..."
"Miss Hee-young, can you check if there is anything still missing? I'm also not sure if the others are in good shape to move."
"Yes, Kiyoung."
"Jung Hayan, please make sure all the food, drinking water, and potions are ready to go."
