Chapter 1017: Uninvited Guests

After discussing some matters with Eva, Ace quickly left just as he arrived, and no one noticed anything. 

Once he returned to begin Leroy, he didn't leave his mountain courtyard and started to practice again in Death Striker Archery Art. Although he wanted to eat an insight pill to mull over the sky sword, he decided against it since the insight pill was very precious, and once he ate one, he would fall into a state of daze for months or even a year if he managed to found the insight he's looking for. 

Since there were only five weeks before the Sky Abyss Secret Realm opening, he didn't want to miss it, or if Conner arrived and found Ace in his peculiar state, he might get suspicious. 

Furthermore, he still didn't know if Conner would even earn a spot for Leroy to enter the Sky Abyss Secret Realm. So, he might have to find some excuse to leave the school.
