Veronica shouldn't be sad, he was just practicing his skills outside, casually playing with Saina.
"Mr. Mula, I have an inconvenient request to make."
Wayne scratched his head, "You may not believe what I'm about to say, but some time ago, I was the victim of an assassination attempt at the Church headquarters. I shouldn't be telling you this, but..."
"I understand what you mean, and I believe something did happen before."
Mula shook his head, wanting to say something but eventually giving up. Instead, he said, "Don't worry, the Elemental Mantra will protect you."
"There's one more thing..."
Wayne described the situation in the Misty Hidden Forest, his expression becoming gloomy, "I want to take them out, to give them a place of rest, but Teacher Saina told me that the undead can't leave the Misty Hidden Forest, which is the property of the Church. Unless I can become a God-chosen Knight, I won't have the right to do so."
