Lady Allen smiled slightly: "No need to be so polite, you are now considered my only recognized student. And... I have always admired those who can break the norm and find their own path."
She paused, a mysterious light flickering in her eyes:
"Besides, I can tell that you're not someone who is content to be shackled. Am I right?"
Ron met Lady Allen's gaze, and in those emerald eyes, he seemed to see a certain understanding and tolerance.
"There's one more thing," Lady Allen continued:
"I have a method to advance to Official Wizard without using the School's universal 'Key' Magic Potion. Although it's riskier, it's also more freeing. If you're interested, you can come find me at the Herb Store once Valen leaves."
Ron's heart was stirred.
Becoming an Official Wizard is the ultimate goal of every apprentice, and advancing without relying on the School's Key Magic Potion means greater freedom.
"I'll consider it." He nodded solemnly.
