Barak, Kirsty, and Maze flew back to their zeppelin ship and talked about their fights.
"They were not bad," Barak chuckled.
"But no need to add them to our ranks," Kristy said. "Boss saw their potential, but we don't have time and energy to nurture them."
"That's right," Maze snorted. "We'll be entering Axis Realm within a year. How much can they progress in a year when they just recently entered Empyrean-order?"
"Taking them is a fool's errand even if their potential is good. Let's tell the boss that we are better off without merely two additions of them," Kristy nodded.

Erix and Rin had 2 Insight Scrolls for long, one from the tower, and one from Kalaanx Abyss. It could help them massively, but they were saving it until they reached Empyrean-order and planned to use it once they got out of this pirate mess.
