Though Tihan was part of the group that was arranged to lead the Grandiuno Sacred Land's contingent, he could not grasp Francis's intentions. Francis had just learned of Severin's potential possession of the Starry Ancient Palace token and seemed to have already decided on a collaboration, but Tihan felt that Severin could not be considered a true disciple of the Grandiuno Sacred Land yet and thus did not warrant such a gesture.
According to their status, Severin ought to be the one to initiate contact first, rather than let a senior search for him. Tihan held a strong sense of pride, after all. He trained in Grandiuno Sacred Land for just a little under thirty years, yet he already possessed the Warlord Constitution. He had killed a level five beast while being two levels lower, and the spirit of battle flowed in his veins. His reputation could silence even a crying baby.
When Francis mentioned Severin, Tihan did not seem too optimistic and deemed Severin a troublemaker. Recruiting such troublemakers into the sacred land would likely bring future turmoil. As a disciple of the Grandiuno Sect, Severin had not made the effort to meet those from the Grandiuno Sacred Land after entering the Starry Sky Battlespace. Tihan viewed that as a disrespectful act, so he felt compelled to speak up after hearing Francis's intention to seek Severin out.
As Tihan finished speaking, a tall young man by the name of Chilwal Schur nearby shook his head and concurred. "You can go ahead if you wish, Francis. I am of the same view as Tihan. Severin will be hunted down by the monsteroids in the future, and he has not accrued the proper respect to us after neglecting to extend a courtesy visit to our disciples."
In his opinion, a mere fourth-grade disciple of a paragon was hardly worth the trouble to lower oneself and ask for a cooperation. Francis shook his head as he observed the unanimous stance of his two junior brothers, refraining from any further discussion. He sensed an unspoken undertone and an unaddressed concern about Severin becoming a threat to their position.
