    <span style="font-weight:400">Hearing what Krystal said, she was right. That was why he headed to the guild. To figure out how to solve the situation, he would need the help of adventurers.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Keith, what brings you here?" Madison spotted Keith.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Is Titus here? I want to speak with him?"


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Titus is here. He should be sitting in the lobby." Keith nodded as he looked around and spotted the demon.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Titus! Hello, Galven." When Keith walked over to him, the adventurer was sitting with Galven.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Hello, Keith." Galven waved.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"What''s the matter?" Titus smiled.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"I need advice."


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Advice?" Titus and Galven looked at one another before turning to Keith, "What kind of advice do you need?"


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Well, you see." Keith started to recount everything that had transpired in the dungeon. Hearing this, Galven frowned, "So your problem is that you want to increase your team''s strength?"


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Mmhmm." Keith nodded. That was the end goal.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"The issue with your team is that you guysck experience more than anything."


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Yes." Titus nodded. Keith''s party was formed a few months ago. There was bound to be some disconnect with one another. More so when they added two new people. For them to already head into a B-rank dungeon was a little fast.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"I understand our teamwork will rise as we fight with one another. But I feel like there''s something wrong with the team in general." That was what made Keith so off. It was weird; Alfia and the others were strong. But that incident was a warning call.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"..." Galven and Titus stared at the boy. His hunches and instincts were usually on the spot.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Hmm?" Titus thought about it, "How did you form your team?"


    <span style="font-weight:400">"I have it like this." Keith took out a piece of paper and started to draw out the formation he used.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Our team is pretty high on power. When pushes to shove, we could probably deal with a B-rank party." Herrick and the others could go toe to toe with any tank.


    <span style="font-weight:400">Titus thought, "I think I know what your problem is. You see it too, right?"


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Indeed." Galven nodded. He figured it out as well.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"What is it?" Keith still didn''t understand.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"This goes with the formation of any team; you have frontline-middle-and rear. That''s the most basic formation of any team." Titus exined.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Breaking that down even further, you have fighters and tanks, wings and middles, mages and supports," Galven added.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Mmhmm."


    <span style="font-weight:400">"The problem with your party is that it''s too skewed."


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Eh?"


    <span style="font-weight:400">"The two forwards in your party are not tanks but fighters. Your entire team is so offensive-oriented." The two party leaders realized the problem. Keith''s team wasposed of heavy hitters. Defense was their problem.


    <span style="font-weight:400">Galven added, "Your team is like a ss cannon. It has high offensive capabilities, but it''s not durable."


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Most teams will have at least one designated tank. A sturdy tank will bring up defenses, and the person could buy time for the mages to do their work."


    <span style="font-weight:400">"In your case, it''ll also give your two fighters more freedom to move around."


    <span style="font-weight:400">"..." True. Herrick and Melor probably had to hold back for the team. Sometimes, he saw Herrick backing off because he focused on the team''s defenses. That restricted most of his movement.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"So we need another person or one of us has to change," Keith muttered.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Yes." "That''s the best."


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Thank you for all this information." Keith bowed. But Titus shook his hand, "It''s fine. Helping out juniors is our job."


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Just talk to us if you need help." Galven waved.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Here''s this as thanks." Keith quickly took out some cookies and fruits. The two chuckled when they saw this.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"He really didn''t need to hand us anything." "But we''re going to enjoy it, right?"


    <span style="font-weight:400">"For sure." Titus wasn''t going to say no to free snacks.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Guys," The two leaders looked up to see their party members staring at them.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"What?"


    <span style="font-weight:400">"You''re going to share, right?"


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Hah." The two sighed. Being a leader is so difficult.


    <span style="font-weight:400">...


    <span style="font-weight:400">"What do you want to do?" During dinner, Keith said something that caused Herrick and the others to tilt their heads.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"I''m going to change my role from mid-fielder to a tanker." What Titus and Galven said made Keith think up many ideas. Right now, the team was too unstable.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Adding a tank will create a more stable team." Thank goodness we found it out sooner. The reason why he couldn''t see it was because this team was too talented.


    <span style="font-weight:400">Through sheer talent alone, they were able to st through everything. And talent wasn''t enough to conquer everything.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"But why you? Couldn''t we get someone else to do it?"


    <span style="font-weight:400">"I thought about it. But I don''t think we can find anyone suitable." Also, it would be weird for the team. Who could they actually bring in that would not cause a disconnect.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Are you fine with it?" That should be the main question. Keith was the strongest out of all of them. This will definitely restrict him.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Mmhmm. Actually, I''m the only one capable of changing my role on the fly." That was one of his strong suits. The others weren''t capable of changing their role. They could, but it would definitely screw them up.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"I have the strongest body. I should be able to withstand hitsing my way." Keith was sturdy and strong.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"But we don''t want to restrict you." Herrick and Melor were worried.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"I''m fine. And besides, it will allow the two of you to run wild. You guys just have to do my part."


    <span style="font-weight:400">"On it!" "We''ll take care of everything!"


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Let''s do this!" Keith grinned. He was prepared for all of this. Their team was going to destroy anything in their way!
