The next day, normally everyone would have their own plans and ways to spend the time, but early this morning, the guild members began training of their own accord, and a sense of urgency was visible on everyone's face.
When Alan woke up and noticed the situation, he gathered the guild members together and held a brief morning meeting.
Looking down at the solemn expressions on everyone's faces—even Natsu had lost his usual grinning demeanor—Alan shook his head helplessly and said, "Listen to me, everyone, there's no need to be so heavy-hearted.

Besides, if you keep yourselves under such heavy psychological pressure, the mental toll is simply too great, and that's not good for anyone."
