She had her timer ready.
"Yes!"
Machary shouted, and he was already in a sprinting stance, ready to go, and the rest of the Fourth-Liners were also ready to go.

"I have a question."
Miranda said.

Fang Raon asked.
"Why did you decide to go first? Going second has the advantage of the Fourth-Liners already knowing what to expect in the raid."

Fang Raon replied with a smile.
"Pressure…?"
