章 2026: Legacy

Dillion's revelation about his knowledge of Emery's past left the group in awe. It was unexpected to learn that Dillion, who had carved out his own reputation among the upper echelons of the academy, had drawn inspiration from Emery's legacy. Even Kat couldn't conceal her surprise at this revelation.

However, the mood quickly shifted as Dillion's tone took on a more serious note.

With a penetrating gaze, he posed a direct question to Emery, his voice tinged with earnestness and expectation.

"Magus, truthfully, I was against the idea of this lower realm hall, but with you as the instructor, it might be possible. Can you assure me that you will bring as much commitment as you did in the past? Are you willing to challenge all those above you?"

Emery met the young man serious gaze with his own determined one. "Yes, all the way to the peak," he affirmed.
