The opening in the wall grew larger, and a figure began to emerge from the darkness...

However, the tension quickly dissipated when they saw a young man struggling to enter through the opening he had created.

"Careful with the cores!" Micah warned, moving quickly to help the newcomer. His elephant followed, its trunk extending to assist.

With a final effort, the young man managed to enter the tunnel, quickly sealing the opening behind him. He leaned against the wall, clearly disoriented. The elephants\' trunks reached out curiously, sniffing the newcomer.

"Welcome," said Elio, approaching the new arrival. "I\'m Elio. And you are...?"

"Milo," the young man responded, straightening up. "Milo Elarian. It\'s an honor to meet you, sir."

Elio smiled, extending his hand. "The honor is mine. You can call me Elio, Milo. Thank you for joining us on this mission."

As Milo shook Elio\'s hand, Kriz approached, a mischievous smile on his face. His elephant trailed behind, mimicking its master\'s playful demeanor.

"Hey, is it just me or do you two look a bit alike?"

The group moved closer, examining Milo and Elio with curiosity. Their elephants crowded around too, adding to the sense of scrutiny.

"You\'re right," said Zara, squinting her eyes. "There\'s something about the jawline..."

"And the nose," Valeria added.

Milo blushed slightly, uncomfortable under the scrutiny. "Must be the darkness," he muttered.

"Probably," Micah agreed. "It\'s hard to see clearly down here."

Elio, noticing Milo\'s discomfort, decided to change the subject. "Milo, tell us about your training with Selene."

Milo seemed relieved by the change in conversation.

"It was intense," he admitted. "Selene is a demanding instructor, but we learned a lot. She prepared us as best she could for the jump."

"How many more are on their way?" Aria asked, her elephant trumpeting softly as if echoing her question.

"We\'re fifteen in total, plus Selene," Milo replied. "The others should arrive soon. I... well, it seems I got a bit ahead of them."

Kriz laughed. "Eager for action, huh? I like you, kid." His elephant seemed to nod in agreement.

Elio nodded, appreciating Milo\'s enthusiasm. "We could use all the help we can get. How was the jump for you?"

Milo shuddered slightly at the memory.

"Terrifying," he admitted. "Falling over the monsters, then through the cores, not knowing where you\'d end up... But I followed your instructions to the letter. I kept the absorption active and focused on reaching the tunnel."

"You did well," Elio commended him. "It\'s not easy to stay calm under those conditions."

As they talked, the sound of more carbon being manipulated announced the arrival of other recruits. One by one, the new team members entered the tunnel, each with their own story of determination and courage.

The tunnel, which previously seemed vast and lonely, soon filled with voices and activity. Elio and his original team moved among the newcomers, offering advice and words of encouragement.

"We have to be extremely careful with the tunnel construction. One mistake could mean being crushed by the cores. And we have to be careful not to deviate from our path. It\'s easy to get lost down here."

"Remember to maintain a steady pace," Zara instructed a group. "We don\'t want to deplete all our mana at once." Her elephant demonstrated, moving slowly but steadily as it manipulated the carbon.

"And be alert for any signs of fatigue," Micah added. "It\'s easy to lose track of time down here."

Kriz, for his part, made sure to keep spirits high with his jokes. "Welcome to the most exclusive underground home outside the city! Unfortunately, the hole is temporarily suspended." His elephant seemed to snort in amusement, adding to the lighthearted moment.

Despite Kriz\'s humor, the gravity of the situation was not lost on anyone. Each new recruit understood the importance of their mission and the dangers they faced.

Elio observed everything with pride and concern. He was impressed by the bravery of these young people, willing to risk everything for the good of the city. But he was also aware of the enormous responsibility they had on their shoulders.

As the tunnel hummed with activity, Elio noticed Milo watching him with admiration.

"Is something wrong, Milo?" Elio asked, approaching the young man.

Milo seemed surprised to have been noticed. "I... I was wondering what it\'s like," he finally said. "Leading everyone, having the fate of the city in your hands."

Elio considered the question for a moment. "It\'s a great honor," he said finally, "and a great horror... But I don\'t do it alone. Every person here, including you, Milo, is an enormous support."

Milo nodded, absorbing Elio\'s words. "I\'ll do everything I can to help," he promised.

"I know you will," Elio replied with a smile and shook his hand.

As the conversation continued, a familiar figure emerged from the last opening in the tunnel. Selene, with her characteristic stoic posture, entered the crowded space. Her elephant followed, its presence commanding respect.

"Selene," Elio greeted, approaching. "It\'s good to see you."

Selene nodded, her eyes scanning the tunnel full of activity. "I see everyone arrived safely," she commented. "Well done."

"They couldn\'t have done it without you," Elio replied. "Your training prepared them well."

Selene gave a small smile. "I did what I could to pass on your knowledge. After that, it\'s up to them..."

With Selene\'s arrival, the team was complete. The tunnel, once Elio\'s solitary project, now buzzed with energy.

Elio looked around at the young, brave faces who had answered his call. He saw determination in their eyes, hope in their smiles. Despite the darkness surrounding them, there was a palpable sense of purpose and unity.

"All right, everyone," Elio announced, his voice resonating in the tunnel. "We have a lot of work ahead of us."
