24 24: Captain and the Vice Captain

As they got nearer the five people, Caleb studied the five other hunting members in front of them. In the middle of them, there was a man with wild yellow hair, he was exuding a gentle aura. He looks harmless to both animals and humans.

His hair is like gold, a bit messy but cool. His eyes are deep blue and filled with curiosity. He has a strong face with cheekbones Caleb can see, and a few freckles on his nose that look like stars. He has a mysterious smile hanging on his face.

He wears clothes that mix old and new styles, with blues and whites that flow with the slightest move. These clothes tell his story. He looks like someone from the past but with his own unique story. He's confident and graceful, and he's like a fresh start. He's strong and curious, just like a leaf in the wind.

Caleb nodded his head.

'As expected of the captain. This man must be Fushigiro.'

Then Caleb turned his head at the white-haired guy on the right side of Fushigiro.

His face stands out, with hair as white as snow framing it nicely. His eyes are narrow, like a cat's, and they seem to hold a secret or a mischievous thought. He has a small smile on his lips like he knows something you don't.

His attire is draped in dark robes that seem to echo the essence of shadows. These garments exude an enigmatic charm, with a fluid motion that adds an element of mystery to his presence. The way they hang on him adds to the aura of intrigue he emanates.

Deep down, he's a mix of cleverness and charm. His narrow eyes can be intense and inviting at the same time. As if sensing his gaze, the guy looked back at Caleb and smiled at him.

Caleb immediately stopped looking with a cold sweat on his back and shifted his gaze to the other three members.

'That guy screams danger. So, he is Jin, the vice-captain of the hunting party.'

As for the three, one was a woman while the two were guys. Caleb curiously looked at the woman up and down.

She's a mix of strength and grace, a unique combination that catches your eye. Her body is athletic, showing the muscles she's built through hard training. But when she moves, there's a smoothness that's different from other warriors.

Her face is interesting too. Her eyes are a deep green, full of determination but also a bit of softness. Underneath, her nose is small, and she has a slight smile on her lips like she's friendly and approachable.

Her hair is a bright color, between pink and cherry blossoms. It flows down her back, and she keeps it in place with a headband. Her clothes are practical and stylish. She wears a fitted top that shows her muscles, with patterns that tell stories of her adventures. A belt around her waist holds her tools and weapons, and she has comfy pants and strong boots.

She's nice and seems to smile a lot, but her eyes show she's strong-willed. She's ready to protect what's important. She's like a mix of power and kindness, a person who stands out wherever she goes. But is she?

Caleb scratched his head. 'This one should be Athena if I'm right?'

Then on her right side, Caleb could only describe the man beside her with the word old-fashioned. Why? The guy was wearing a farmer's hat; he had a mustache like those of bartenders, shaped into M. And Caleb wasn't sure if it was his imagination. He could feel that the guy was a bit drunk due to his hazy eyes and tomato-colored face.

He has a stubbled jaw and his skin has obvious acne marks. Caleb could see that the man had red hair beneath the farmer's hat. He gave Caleb the impression of a crouching tiger-hidden dragon just like Dunn.

He was playing with a single piece of grass on his lips. He didn't have armor in his body, no protective gear. Just simple dirty white clothes, brown pants, and wooden slippers. Luckily, he had a Katana hidden in a sheath hanging from his waist, or else Caleb would think that the guy was out of place from the group because he looked the most ordinary. Suddenly, the man's eyes sharpened, and he looked in Caleb's direction.

When the man saw he was just a kid. A relaxed smile appeared on his face and nodded at him.

Caleb almost jumped back in fright due to the man's powerful instinct.

'First Jin, now this damned normal-looking person. How could they easily sense my gaze? Seriously, this guy reflects the saying that the more ordinary a person is, the more dangerous he is.'

Of course, that saying doesn't apply every time. After all, there are a lot of ordinary-looking people out there. But an ordinary man in the hunting party? Caleb didn't think so.

'What is his name again?' Caleb tried his best to remember Dunn's description of the members and their names. 'Ohh... Miles.'

Then there was the last member. A bald man is wearing a yellow suit and a white cape. His head could even reflect the rays of the sky due to how shiny it was. He was wearing a white gloves in his hand. Unlike Jin and Miles, the bald guy didn't sense his gaze and just continued looking at the sea with dead-fish eyes. As if anything won't interest him and he looks tired of life.

'Huh? This guy looks like someone I've seen once. But who is it??'

"Who is the little guy behind you, Dunn?"

A provocative voice filled with enthusiasm pulled out Caleb of his thoughts. When he looked ahead, he saw the face of Athena only two inches closer to his face and it appeared that the other party was scrutinizing him.

Caleb felt his breath stop for a moment and his heart, beat crazy fast due to how close the woman was to his face. He just needed to take a step forward, and no doubt, his head would collide with hers.

Fortunately, Dunn pulled the woman and scolded her.

"Don't scare the young guy!"
