At the Terra Empire branch of the Truth Association, Avin stepped out of his laboratory after completing an experiment. He gazed at the azure sky and sighed. The experiment had been a perfect success, and he had met all the conditions for promotion to a Tier Two Arcanist. So why couldn't he feel the least bit happy?
"Sigh..." Avin's heart grew heavy as he thought of the letter from Isaac. 'That guy... he really went down that path in the end.'
He hesitated at the door for a moment, but his better nature ultimately prevailed. With another sigh, he abandoned the thought of quietly slipping away and decided to report the matter to his teacher, Grand Arcanist Yog Doros.
Avin believed it was only a matter of time before Isaac's actions led to disaster.
It wouldn't be so bad if Isaac crashed and burned on his own. The problem was, if he failed, he would inevitably drag the Terra Empire down with him!
He might even drag down the Terra Empire without failing at all!
