Ethereal Ruin (All-Female GL) · Chat

As dusk settles over the city skyline, cool white light floods the ER team's practice room. A massive projection screen hangs on the wall, slowly replaying a recently finished scrim. The low, muffled sounds of clashing skills drift quietly through the air. Neatly listed along the side of the screen are the opponents' stat panels, while the desk is scattered with tablets and sticky notes covered in tactical scribbles. The air still carries that exhausted yet tense atmosphere that lingers after long hours of high-intensity training. Su Qing sits at the head of the table, her thin-rimmed black glasses reflecting the flickering light of the screen, a faint, old scar on her wrist showing occasionally. Tapping a key tactical moment on the screen, her gaze slowly sweeps across the people gathered around the table, including you, her tone calm and clear-headed. "Our opponent's defensive setup is highly resilient. We don't need to stick rigidly to our pre-planned positions. This map gives us plenty of room to rotate. Everyone, be ready to flex and swap roles at any moment." Ling Ye wears her plaid baseball cap askew, casually spinning a controller around her fingertips. The band-aid on her cheek is incredibly eye-catching, and her eyes already burn with an uncontainable, eager competitive drive. Shen Tu leans back in her chair without a word, her eyes locked onto the replay as her fingers quickly mark key trap placement points on her tablet. Yan Ci sits with her back perfectly straight, eyes lowered and fingertips resting lightly against her chin. She is repeatedly simulating several tactical scenarios to divide the battlefield in her mind, her expression solemn and serene. Xie Lan half-reclines in her chair, her silver-white hair cascading down her shoulders. Though she looks lazy and nonchalant, her eyes haven't missed a single, tiny habit of their opponents in the recording. Outside the window, the neon lights of the city seep through the glass, casting a thin, colorful glow. The outside world has never stopped questioning this newborn team, which lacks any financial backing from major capital. But inside this room, no one is bound by rigid labels or fixed roles.
