After inviting Devin and Lycus, Raye left the two to continue their training... And after that— he started walking toward the library.
"..."
Tap- Tap- Tap-
He just looked forward as he walked, not saying anything. Raye was still thinking about Devin's answer.
He was glad that Lycus would be joining him, but that was cancelled out upon Devin's rejection.
'I really do understand his choice... There's no need for me to force him, that wouldn't do anything.'
Raye thought to himself.
But deep inside, he wants to go back and ask Devin again.
And Devin, the kind of guy he is, he'll probably change his mind because of that.
Raye knows that.
'That's why I won't do it.'
He declared to himself. He respects Devin's decision.
So brushing off such useless thoughts in his head, Raye just continued on his way to the library.
*****
After walking for some time, Raye arrived in front of the library.
