Despite all the scrolls with rescue requests, Lian had no intention of diving into another Gate, at least not for now.
He had to participate in the academy's event first, but he needed to find a third member.
"I wonder if Rick managed to find someone," he sighed helplessly, thinking of his friend. "I cannot let him know I have 6,000 gold coins behind me."
Lian left the area. With nothing else to do, his goal was to return to his room, try creating Bronze 2 enchantments, and meditate to reach Bronze 4.
"There is also the matter of my Knight path… when will I be able to reach Steel rank?" he murmured, watching some students spar with wooden swords. Memories of fighting his old father flooded back.
"I wonder how everyone is doing. And my friend Roland? Will he manage to reach the famed Steel rank, or will he stay stuck as Iron his whole life?" The thought made him smile.
