Chapter 129: Windblade academy

Someone with the talent and determination to shatter those preconceived notions. I wanted to mentor such an individual, guide them, and together, prove to the town that brilliance can emerge from the humblest of origins. To show them that even someone from a village, under the right guidance, can surpass the town's celebrated prodigies."

Arlan's gaze shifted to Elrian, a mixture of hope and expectation evident, "The world out there judges not just by what you've achieved, but by what you can achieve in the future. And from what I've seen today, Elrian, you have that spark, that potential. With the right guidance and training, who knows how high you might soar?"
