<Zak says that if all the newbie magicians go together it will be safer, but what do we have to be afraid of?> Evan thought to himself.
"Commander, you mean, we could be attacked along the way?" Evan said calmly.
Zak nodded: "Yes, but it is unlikely. Even if the beasts or bandits decide to attack you, you will fight back, so you have nothing to worry about."
"I get it."
...
The next day, early in the morning, Evan and Zak were standing at the gates of Mossy Vulture. Plenty of other newbie magicians were also there with their mentors or relatives.
"Evan, I don't know when we will meet again, but I believe you will reach incredible heights! When I first saw you, I had no idea what an amazing guy you really are. Good luck."
With a smile on his face, Zak said and hugged Evan. Even though they hadn't spent much time together, it was enough to create a strong bond between them.
