"Shut it! You foolish sprouts rush here to learn how to fight only to get killed and then who gets all the blame, huh?!" the old barked as he turned back to Skullius.

Thickets of mana gathered around his body as he preached, making Skullius take a few steps back.

"Let me make a fine guess! You don't even know your Direction do you?! You're one of those fools that stand in line all day at the Temple waiting to complete the First Task and rush over here to learn to fight as if it's all a fluffy dream out there, aren't you?!"

"Well..." Skullius stammered.

'Not exactly.'

The old man's eyes sparked as his terrifying presence died down.

"Do yourself a favour. Go home and sleep that adrenaline off before you get killed."

Skullius looked at the old man.
