Chapitre 32: "The Road to Crimson Academy"

Leo stored the clothes in his system storage and stepped out of the mansion. With the map in hand, he glanced at the marked route to the academy. He estimated it would only take him a few minutes to get there at full speed, but he decided to take his time.

The idea of exploring the scenery intrigued him. Since leaving the mines, he hadn't really taken the time to appreciate the world outside. The bustling towns, serene countryside, and vast stretches of wilderness were a far cry from the dim, suffocating underground where he once toiled.

He began walking at a leisurely pace, his eyes scanning the surroundings. The cobbled roads were lined with vibrant merchant stalls, the air filled with the chatter of townsfolk and the occasional laughter of children. He felt oddly at peace amidst the simplicity of it all.
