 After that check-up and having dinner with his family, Ethan went to bed. As expected, he had other nightmares, but those didn't bother him. He had decided that such memories won't hold him back anymore, after all. Regardless, a new day started, and for Ethan, it started with him running around the park at an incredible speed. His sole goal that morning was to train Vigor, and in just a few hours, he made the skill level up to level five.

"Not bad, huh," Ethan said while he was resting his back against a tree. "Today, I will also have alchemy lessons, so I guess I will feel weirdly satisfied with it."

 Although it was a bit weird, and Ethan frowned when he felt like that, he felt quite disappointed that neither Emily nor Ian were attending those classes. It was probably because those were the first people that he met in a year that didn't threaten him like someone awesome who was worthy of praise. Friends or companions like that were hard to find.
