章 143: The change

Before Mia could even get into her practice-mood, the others started to return to the compound as well. 

Yet, not a single one stopped to join in on her training. Some of them threw her all kinds of looks, but all decided not to say a word. 

'Right now, I'm on a borrowed time,' Mia thought, pushing the thoughts about her current companions out of her head. They would only make it harder for her to focus on the task at hand. 

'You just wait,' Dirk thought, ignoring the girl completely as he headed towards his room. 'Soon, you will understand, bitch.' He then clicked his tongue and entered the dormitory. 

There was no need for him to stay in the array with a bunch of spiritual stones, cultivation tonics, and other resources. It would be helpful but wouldn't make much of a difference.
