kuro is now close to the house of gold to finally give the news of the victory in his mission....although he did not feel like a winner at all.....rather this mission showed him what weak that he still is and that he is not yet ready to face anyone.

hinoken: "don't be like that boy, you did well and that's what counts"

kuro: "If it wasn't for your power I wouldn't even have survived that battle"

hinoken: "what decision will you make?"

Kuro: "I don't know yet....but I have to keep training to become stronger"

after that neither of them said another word so kuro continued on his way to be able to arrive once and for all with gold.

That's how after a while he was able to get to that house where he had lived for a couple of years and where his current teacher is.
