"You must come back! I'll be waiting for you at the academy!"
"Don't worry!"
Hulim patted Miko's head.
"I'm not going there to do anything I won't come back for. I'm just going there to recuperate. I'll definitely be back safe and sound in a year. Miko, don't let your strength not improve by then~"
"I won't!"
Miko puffed up her cheeks in anger.
"Hulim, just wait and see. I'm sure you'll be impressed by me in a year!"
"Yeah?"

Hulim turned his gaze to Irus again.
Irus explained:
"I know what you're thinking, but I didn't force him to come. He just needed to use the Fire Dragon Stone to craft something, and the Fire Dragon Stone can only be collected deep underground in the Milnabis Mountains, so I asked him to take you there."
"Well, the only thing I forced him to do was probably to move up his departure time, which was originally scheduled for next month, to now, right?"
Tsarkin shrugged his shoulders and said indifferently:
