After stepping out through the door to the cultivation fields, Michelle saw what she was expecting. Ivona was sitting on the ground, waiting for someone to show up, and Tenether was nestling next to her after delivering the message to the boss lady of the information guild.
"Michelle, where's everyone else?" Ivona asked, standing up.
So Michelle explained what had happened while Ivona was still cultivating and asked her whether she wanted to join the fighting.
When Ivona agreed, Michelle led her into the fields. There, Ivona joined Anastasia and Pete. In other words, Pete gained another student to teach combat.
But unlike Anastasia, Ivona wasn't starting with no combat experience at all. Since she was a child, she had been secretly cultivating and learning martial arts, so she had the basics of combat without any spirit energy.
