Chapter 1847: Incredulity

Shortly after they finished with their shower, Vahn was going to let Arusha and Arryn rest when all three of their Pockets informed them to head to the location where teams would be chosen.

Chapter 1846: Anticlimactic : Climax

Following the instructions they had received the prior evening, Vahn, Arusha, and Arryn proceeded to the waiting room that had been assigned to them. The second round of the Workshop Battle had been scheduled for the early afternoon so all participants had been asked to be waiting within their respective rooms by 10:00 AM.

Chapter 1845: Breather

After nearly two weeks of leisurely travel, the Archimedes eventually reached another of the 30th Floor’s most scenic and beautiful regions, a group of volcanic islands known as the Ember Isles.

Chapter 1844: Compromise

Following Arryn’s, the name of the Gynoid, decision to join him, Vahn promptly introduced her to Kisuke, Android 21, and the remaining residents of the Emerald Grove.

Chapter 1843: Guiding Hand

Though it allowed its user to both fly and teleport, Vahn ended up gifting the Bong Bong to Arusha.

Chapter 1842: Shadows

Immediately following Vahn’s taunt, the masked man, Reflejo, erupted like a shadowy volcano.

Chapter 1841: Awareness

With only a few hours remaining until the start of the Workshop Battle, Vahn decided to pass the time by watching a few of his favorite animated movies in the master bedroom.

Chapter 1840: Charge Forward

After returning to his hotel room, Vahn wasn’t even remotely surprised to find that Yuri had made herself comfortable in the living room. She liked to jump down from her own balcony in order to raid his fridge or fish for snacks. This was in spite of the fact that he had gotten an extra keycard for her to use …

Chapter 1839: Cafe Encounter

After a relatively uneventful evening, Vahn met up with Yuri and Evan to enjoy breakfast before heading to the cafe, where he was intended to meet the representatives of the Families who had pestered the Ha Family Leader.

Chapter 1838: Calm

With little more to do than waiting for the Workshop Battle to begin, Vahn took advantage of his few remaining days of peace to explore Sepia Island and the surrounding tourist destinations.
