God Tone and Sunan's gaze seemed to freeze in the air, as if two forces were silently competing. The scene was unusually tense for a moment, until Sunan spoke softly of his determination: "I... I know I'm far behind you now, but I will definitely catch up with you!" His words carried a hint of uncertainty, but more so determination and resolve.
Upon hearing this, God Tone burst into hearty laughter, filled with challenge and jest: "Haha! You'll never catch up in this lifetime!" Although his words might sound somewhat discouraging, the smile on his face revealed it to be more of an encouragement to Sunan, a provocation not to give up.
Although the two of them were taunting each other with words, the laughter in their eyes revealed a peculiar understanding and the budding of friendship. This brief conversation not only showcased God Tone's candid personality, but also allowed Sunan to feel that even if one's abilities are lacking, as long as there is determination and effort, recognition can be achieved one day. This silent confrontation, in a special way, strengthened the connection between the two, and also allowed the originally unfamiliar Summoners to slowly cultivate understanding and respect.
Wei Dong looked at the seemingly heated interaction between God Tone and Sunan, apparently unable to bear it any longer. He impatiently interjected, "Geez! Do you two want to open an inn next door? It's disgusting!" His voice carried obvious displeasure, feeling uncomfortable with their seemingly overly enthusiastic interaction. "Stop wasting time and quickly let the last person introduce themselves."
Hearing his brother say that, he immediately made a playful expression, as if enjoying Wei Dong's impatience and anger. Wei Dong looked at his younger brother's annoying face and felt an impulse to give him a beating, but he ultimately suppressed it; after all, in such a formal setting, he needed to maintain a certain image.
This scene added a bit more relaxation to the atmosphere in the room. Even though Wei Dong appeared somewhat angry on the surface, everyone could sense that this was actually an expression of the deep bond between the two brothers. With Wei Dong's urging, everyone's attention refocused, looking forward to the final Summoner's self-introduction, eager to see if he could bring more surprises to the gathering.
Facing the gaze of the crowd, the girl with a round face blushed, clearly feeling a bit nervous. She hesitantly spoke with a hint of shyness, "Um... my name is Yanyan." Wei Dong noticed that Yanyan spoke with a peculiar accent, which made her pronunciation sound unusual and even somewhat displeasing to him.
Yanyan seemed to sense Wei Dong's gaze and became even more nervous, but she continued with effort, "I play support, and I played Ashe with Sunan on the previous game." Her voice became smaller and almost a whisper towards the end, but her unconfident eyes revealed a desire to be acknowledged.
Upon hearing Yanyan's self-introduction, the atmosphere in the room seemed to relax slightly. Although Wei Dong was a bit impatient with her accent, he also realized that in this newly formed team, everyone had their own shortcomings and anxieties. Yanyan, as a support position Summoner, her cooperation with Sunan and how she would play a supportive role in future battles, would be the areas they needed to work on and improve together.
Wei Dong seemed very curious about Yanyan's accent, his tone carrying a hint of dissatisfaction and confusion, as he directly asked, "Hey! Where are you from exactly? Your way of speaking is really strange." Just as Yanyan was about to explain her background, Sunan on the side preempted, seemingly wanting to step in and explain everything first.
Sunan's mouth curled into a playful smile as he spoke, teasingly saying, "Haha! She grew up in the port of Nosra, a place full of pirates and robbers. They speak a jumble of languages there, so we jokingly call her 'Port Girl'." Although Sunan's words sounded like a joke, they carried a hint of disdain, as if mocking Yanyan's background.
Upon hearing Sunan's introduction, Yanyan's face showed a hint of embarrassment and helplessness, clearly feeling a certain degree of inferiority about her origins. However, she still managed to maintain a smile and did not directly refute Sunan's words. In that moment, Wei Dong realized a fact - everyone has their own unique background and experiences, which shape their different personalities and language habits. Despite initially feeling puzzled and dissatisfied with Yanyan's accent, Wei Dong gradually began to understand and accept this diversity. It was not just a difference between team members, but a reflection of each person's unique story, deserving of respect and understanding. Through this conversation, Wei Dong gained a deeper understanding of Yanyan and other team members, and realized how, as a team, they should appreciate and utilize these differences to achieve common goals.
God Tone then casually scratched his belly button and found a greasy lump of dirt. He glanced at the unsightly substance on his finger and wiped it on the chair as if it were a normal thing to do. Then, he turned to Wei Dong and asked nonchalantly, "So, what's next? Do we need to introduce ourselves too?" His voice carried a hint of mockery, as if he didn't care much for formal self-introductions.
Observing God Tone's almost slovenly appearance, Wei Dong furrowed his brows slightly. Although Wei Dong was accustomed to God Tone's eccentric behavior, he couldn't help but feel a bit embarrassed by God Tone's "otaku habits" being displayed so casually in such a formal setting. However, realizing that he, like God Tone, was not adept at introducing himself in public, Wei Dong sighed softly and prepared to follow the protocol to introduce themselves to the others.
In this small group, although everyone's background, personality, and habits are very different, it is precisely these differences that make up a diverse and full of possibilities team. The action of God Tone, although somewhat untimely, has invisibly eased the tense atmosphere that would have arisen from the formal introduction, allowing everyone to relax more in a light-hearted manner.
