"Hufff….. Hufff….."
"You did well today too."
"Thanks."
A boy was lying on the ground in a place where the surface was flat, with greenery on one side and a huge wall on the other side.
And a man was standing there, extending his hand towards him.
"How was it?"
"You had already mastered everything."
"Everything you say? Did you see anything to improve?"
"No. In just three months, you have already learned everything I could teach you."
"Thank you for your guidance."
With a smile on his face, the boy bowed his head slightly.
"You can leave now; training is finished."
"Okay."
"Tonight, come find me in this place again. We will have our last lesson here."
"Tonight?"
"Yes."
"Understood."
Saying that the boy left, walking towards the place where the wall was standing.
"I hope you are ready for that one last lesson, my disciple."
With a slightly sad smile, the man mumbled, looking at the sky.

'It was a really fruitful travel.'
Looking at the panel appearing in front of me, I thought with a smile.
It has been three months since the last fight we had with the bandits.
Since then, we have been traveling with a simple route. Because we had already cleared the threats that could be harmful to us, the road left was not that hard.
Therefore, we hadn't encountered any strong enemies on the way toward the empire, and with us getting comfortable with the environment around us, we were able to get there at a fast rate.
Thanks to that, I was able to focus on my training with my sword, and to be honest, I think I had already mastered the way I could use my aura in the three-star barrage.
Sparring with Akira, Wayne, Salma, and the elven sisters was really helpful.
I finally understood what I was lacking, thanks to that.
Because I had always trained alone, all of my moves were related to the fights I played in my hand, and being fully theoretical is not always a good thing.
And here we are right now, in the lands of empire on the southside.
The city of Phailand.
Since we had already entered our normal route at some point, we were finally able to re-enter the social life of humans.
This city is on the southern side of the empire, and this will be the last place I will be traveling with the convoy.
A city that is surrounded by walls.
It was said that because Empire had waged upon the nearby countries, they had built those walls to defend themselves from the empire.
But, of course, since we are here in the borders of the empire means that they were nothing but successful.
Showing the guards my ID, I entered the city again and headed towards the inn we were staying.
And there, I saw a man with green eyes talking with a bunch of adventurers.
"Yes, we have three vacant positions right now."
"How much are you willing to pay?"
"The conditions of the job were posted on the bulletin board. I won't be changing the conditions."
Since I was going to leave the convoy, I had already posted a notice on the adventurer's guild.
"The pay is too low."
"Yes, you are also saying you won't pay for our living expenses. That is how we work here."
A man with a bulky build and a woman with blue hair was discussing things with John.
Behind them, another woman with black hair was standing.
"If that is what you think, then you don't need to apply for this quest. There is nothing I can do about this."
"Sigh…. How stingy…. But, still, the job is easy anyway. Okay, we accept your conditions."
"Hey, Kevin. Wait for a second. The pay is still too low."
"Karen."
"…. Okay…."
"I am Kevin, and she is Karen, my wife, and this is my sister Hannah behind. We will be in your care."
Extending his hand, the man introduced himself.
"I am John Norris. Nice to meet you."
"Nice to meet you, too. When are we leaving this place?"
"We will be leaving tomorrow morning. Make sure to get ready at that moment."
"Understood. Have a nice day, mister John."
Saying that the wife and husband couple left the place, going their own way.
"What do you think?"
"The wife seems a bit problematic."
"Indeed, I thought so."
"But their strength is not bad. They will be a good replacement for the convoy."
"You think so. Wayne said the same thing as well."
"He has a good eye."
"It was a pity that you are going to leave the convoy now. Aliya will be sad."
"We will meet again."
"I know. You can't run away now."
"Indeed."
"Now, take this before you meet with Aliya."
Saying that, he handed me a weird-looking sphere.
"Wow…. You really bought the Sphere of Connection."
"So, you know about this."
"Of course. It is just a recently invented magical product, isn't it?"
"It is. The engineers in the Ark are said to be the ones who invented those. It was a student, they said."
'Indeed, it is a student.'
I thought with a smile.
"With this, you can talk with Aliya at least once a month."
"Once in a month, huh? Thank you."
"Don't mention it. Now, you know today is her 14th birthday, right?"
"I know. You had already said that."
"We will be having a party in the evening. I hope you will be there."
"I will."
"Then, see you at the party."
Saying that, he left going inside the inn.
'I guess I should give her the necklace today.'
Thinking like that, I started going toward the marketplace to pack the gift….
