章 1810: Challenge

Room by room, Emery observed the talented young magus diligently preparing for the upcoming expeditions. The training ground was bustling with activity, and each room held the promise of honing magus's skills for the challenges they would face.

Emery couldn't contain his excitement when he saw Chumo soaring through the air, displaying newfound abilities. He decided to wait patiently for Chumo to finish his training session, eager to catch up with his old friend.

When Chumo and his group of young magus emerged from the training area, Emery called out to him enthusiastically, "Chumo!"

From behind Chumo's half-covered mask came a smile as he approached Emery and Julian. "Emery, Julian, you're both here already," he greeted them.

Chumo's mature demeanor and voice were a stark contrast to the Chumo Emery had known, but it didn't dampen Emery's happiness. He reached out and grabbed Chumo's shoulder, expressing his relief, "I'm glad you're well."
