Ares walked ahead.
Cedric Blackwell and Mike followed behind.
From the moment Mike met Cedric Blackwell, the latter's Sea of Truth subtly influenced the surroundings, allowing Mike to walk through the void.
Gregory was a professor, and Cedric was Gregory's father.
So, calling him Professor Cedric seemed appropriate, right?
Mike instinctively wanted to get closer to Professor Cedric, thinking it might make him feel safer.
Thunderclap Hammer: No, you are not safe.
Before Mike could take a step closer, the weapon on Cedric Blackwell's back emitted an eager sword hum.
Professor Cedric, unfazed, said, "When you reach level 600, we can have a match to see if your hammer is stronger or my sword."
"That wouldn't be fair," Mike said seriously. "Maybe we should fight at the same level for it to be fair!"
