Chapter 77 A Place Among Ashes
After that, two older men stepped forward.
They smiled at Steven while introducing themselves.
“Rearguard, Uriah, level 29, Three–Sigil Divine Adept.”
“Rearguard, Caleb, level 30, Three-Sigil Divine Adept.”
“Healer, Darlene, level 27, Three-Sigil Divine Adept.”
“Surveillant, Olivia, level 30, Three-Sigil Divine Adept.”
Steven looked at everyone standing before him with such serious expressions.
He stood up as well and faced them.
“Steven, level 1, One-Sigil Awakened.”
Of course, he could not reveal the level of his Beast-Type Divine Sigil.
Everyone exchanged smiles.
A faint smile finally appeared on Alan’s face.
“From today onward, we’re teammates. Usually we’d hold a welcome party for you, but today’s circumstances are special. We’ll wait until you’re settled down and Peter recovers a little more.”
Steven smiled and nodded.
Then the captain carried over a pile of beast crystals.
Finghea
“These are your shares from the beasts you kill during this mission. Later, we also collect the military reward, and you receive part of that too.”
Steven nodded. Looking at the pile of beast crystals, he scratched his head awkwardly.
He genuinely did not know how to carry all of them.
Olivia took out a small storage space converter.
“Here, use this. It used to belong to me.”
Steven immediately shook his head. “Olivia, this is too precious.”
Olivia shook her head as well. “It’s okay. We’re teammates now. Just take it. If you still feel guilty, then after you get a new one later, you can return this to me.”
Only then did Steven smile and accept it.
“Thanks, Olivia.”

He stored the small pile of beast crystals into the converter.
Finished
Alan nodded as well. “Keep the armor and spear you’re using for now. Later, you can pick equipment that fits you better.”
Steven did not decline.
“Alright. Everyone head back and get some rest.”
Darlene drove Steven and Peter home, while the others separated and left.
During the ride back, Darlene sighed softly.
“A level 1 Awakened becoming part of Team Ashen… honestly, it still feels unbelievable.”
Steven smiled. “I’m only lucky that everyone values me so much.”
Darlene shook her head. “No. Your strength already earns everyone’s recognition.”
Steven gazed outside the window.
This familiar feeling…
It felt good.
The instant they arrived home, Bianca saw the injuries covering Steven’s body.
Her eyes immediately reddened.
“How do you get hurt this badly?”
Without hesitation, she threw herself into his arms and buried her face against his chest, completely unconcerned about how filthy he looked.
Steven’s body stiffened.
She truly had been terrified.
Watching the two of them, Darlene could not stop a trace of envy from appearing in her eyes.
Being young truly was wonderful.
Too bad that idiot still refused to honestly face the relationship between them.

At that point, it was already three in the afternoon. Knowing Bianca had not eaten anything, Darlene arranged food for the two of them before bringing them home.
Afterward, she immediately turned around and returned to care for Peter.
Bianca nodded. “Okay. Then I come back to visit you often.”
Vanessa smiled and nodded. “Some people also come by with gifts today, but I refuse all of them for you.”
“Good. We should reject them. Taking too many things from others just feels strange.”
Vanessa nodded.
At that moment, Grandpa also walked out.
Brian looked at Steven and Bianca.
“When are you planning to move over there?”
Steven answered, “Tomorrow. We go directly to the academy to register.”
Brian nodded. “Good. Then let’s prepare something delicious today.”
He still appeared like the same harmless old man as always.
Vanessa smiled and said, “Here, let me help you.”

Brian shook his head. “No need. Stay here and chat with the girl. They’re leaving for the academy
tomorrow.”
Vanessa thought for a moment before nodding. “Alright. Then thank you for the trouble.”
Brian smiled and waved his hand. “It’s nothing. Go ahead.”
Then he turned around and entered the kitchen to begin cooking.
Steven followed Grandpa into the kitchen.
Finished
Without even glancing at him, he casually said, “After you start living over there, don’t bully Bianca just because it’s one man and one woman living under the same roof.”
