As soon as a ray of sunlight struck Yun's eyelids, he immediately woke up from his deep slumber and promptly got up from the bed.
He left the room and out towards the living room where the silence greeted him. "Guess I woke up too early…" From the door leading out to the corridor, a knock was heard "Good morning, Master Yun. It's me."
"Hm, come in."
The Head Butler then promptly entered and greeted Yun. "Good Morning, Master."
"Likewise. Anyways, where are they?"
"Mister Jose and Miss Emilia are sleeping."
"Hero—? I meant Samurai, where is he?"
"He left this early morning before the dawn breaks. He asked me to tell you not to worry about him and he will most likely be back by tomorrow or by midnight."
"I see…" Yun caressed his chin. "Can you wake up the two? When did they sleep last night?"
"As you wish... And to answer your question, they've engaged in various activities last night and were up past midnight."
"Was that so…? I will go train for a while, tell them to meet me there. Or better, bring them there yourself."
"Yessir."
…
Within separate room, there are two beds divided by a curtain between them. Jose who had been awake since earlier is currently sitting on the edge of one, deep in thought. He's currently wearing the same kind of silk robe Yun was wearing yesterday and it was evident that they were cleaned the night prior to sleep.
"Andres…"
The next bed began making noises as somebody yawned. "Uuwaahh… Oh, Jose! You're awake…" Emilia who's also wearing the same kind of robe walked over to him and stopped as she neared him when seeing that he's wearing a serious expression.
"Your forehead…" She gasped a little.
"I'm trying to locate Andres..."
"With that? How will that work anyways?"
"I can approximate his general location and direction relative to mine."
"Then, where is he?"
Jose lifted his arm and pointed to his left, "Over there…"
"Is he far?"
"Yes, very far…" He answered with a pained expression.
"Why don't we tell Yun? Let's go tell him!"
"Yes, let's go."
A knock then came from the door. "Mister, Miss, Master Yun asks for your presence."
"Right on time! Let's go, Jose!" She grabbed Jose's hand and they went towards the door to open it.
"Good morning, Mister Jose, Miss Emilia."
"Ah, Good morning too! Ahahaha…" Emilia scratched her head. "Anyway, Yun wants to meet us, right? We'll go then!"
"Hold on, not while you're wearing those..."
"Oh…"

"Follow me, I'll have you dressed."
Following the man, they walked through the corridors once again and soon reached a door to the dressing room. They entered and were awestruck by the rows of wardrobes full of luxurious clothing and some staffs awaiting them.
"Everyone, get our guests dressed."
"Yessir!" They shouted in unison and immediately moved accordingly. Three staffs each began measuring the two's dimensions and once they are done, they immediately went on to finding the appropriate clothing.
Whilst the others are busy, one of the female staff spoke to them. "The Head Butler, told us you're both Climbers, was that right?"
"Uh, yeah."
"Yes…" They both answered.
"Then, we need to give you clothes that could withstand combat, right?"
"Yes…" Jose answered.
"Please wait, we'll make it practical yet fashionable for both of you, okay?"
"Umu! That makes sense!" Emilia replied excitedly.
As the others prepared the clothes, this woman continued talking. "Miss Emilia, are you a close combatant?"
"Hmm? I guess so…"
"Is that so? Then we'll have to maximize your mobility whilst still looking pretty…" The staff smiled.
"Eh…" Emilia blushed.
This woman then turned her attention to Jose and spoke. "As for Mister Jose, since you're blonde, I think a lighter color will suit you more. Moreover, you're lean too, not very muscular, but not skinny. I think we've got the best outfit for you!"
The staff snapped her fingers and the others came forward uniformly with various clothing within their grasps.
She began to scrutinize the clothes presented and spoke in delight. "Alright! Let's dress you up! Miss Emilia, ladies first!" She held Emilia's hands and began gently dragging her towards the fitting room, followed by the other female staffs.
Jose had to watch as Emilia looked at him in anxious as she slowly disappeared from his sight and completely when the door behind her closed.
From beyond that same door, Emilia's confused reactions were heard.
"Eh! Hey! Don't touch me there!"
"Please just stay still, we're not done dressing you."
"I-I can do it myself!"
…
As they finished dressing her up, the door slowly opened, presenting Emilia looking like a completely different person. They made her wear a fit, black sleeveless blouse and dark-blue cargo pants paired with dark combat boots.
"All right! You look fabulous! Now! It's not just all about aesthetic, each piece also comes with practical applications due to the various enchantments they possess. Each piece provides some boost to the wearer's mana output, improving their mana reinforcements!
Each piece, working in conjunction will generate a small mana barrier around the user automatically to absorb some hits. Depending on how strong an attack is, it could probably absorb around one to two hits, usually that is, and sometimes it could absorb up to three.
In order to enhance the longevity of the clothes, they also come with self-repairing enchantment and will heal itself over time as long as at least a third of the piece survives, it will come back to a state before where it seemed brand new! Now isn't that wonderful. Additionally, in case you fell in love with the set we've given you, we'll also provide you an additional two sets of that same outfit in case the one you currently have was to be destroyed. You have the dwarves to thank for that! It's all on the house! Now, your turn Mister Jose."
The woman gestured for him to come to the fitting room but he was reluctant.
"Um… Can I… just dress myself?"
"Eh? There's no problem with that, but…"
"I... I can do it. Please let me dress myself."
"Well… All right..." The woman shrugged as she gestured the male staff to give Jose his clothes.
"Here you go, mister."
Jose took them and hastily went to the fitting room with a silent fast walk.
…
After a while, Jose went out looking stunning, even the other female staffs blushed lightly.
"Ah! My instincts never fail. You look good, Mister Jose!"
In contrast to Emilia's dark colors, Jose was given a Yellowish rib-knit turtleneck, a white sweatpants and a black chelsea boots to balance out the color.
"Looks good! Jose!" Emilia raised one of her thumbs up.
…
Meanwhile in K High…
Around a table in a cafeteria, the trio of Yuuki, Yohan and Rumi gathered around as they ate and chattered.
"Oh, yeah, what's the plan later?" Rumi then gobbled down on her food.
"The plan? I'll introduce you guys to Yun later, so where do we meet in Floor 1?" Yuuki answered
Yohan then answered. "We're not there anymore and we're quite far too, but Geneda City could work since we can just teleport a few times to get there."
"Why? Where were you guys anyway?"
"Eh, it's city a little to the east. It's fine, we'll just go to Geneda City. You'd most likely get lost anyway."
"Do I seemed that dumb to you?" Yuuki frowned.
"Well…"
"Damn you, man..." Yuuki frowned.
They all laughed together when Yuuki once again spoke in seriousness. "But for real, though. You'll meet him soon enough. I don't know why he immediately recruited me, but he'll probably do the same for you when he meets you."
"Same what?"
"Recruit you right away, just show him some moves. He's a martial artist, after all."
"Ah, that's easy then… Then I'll also request for Rumi to join."
"He'll maybe say yes if you say you'll not join without her, hell, I'll even threaten to leave if not…"
"I guess that works too."
"Course it will." Yuuki shrugged.
They then continued eating peacefully with a joyful atmosphere around them.
