Chapter 15: Understanding Purpose

Ilot could only look up to his boss with admiration and puzzlement.

In just three years, he had changed so much. That wasn't strange, as people grow and mature all the time, especially during three years of exile that would have exposed his boss to countless hardships he had never experienced before. These hardships were enough to transform a naive, innocent boy into a man, which Ilot realized during their first meeting back in Cyprus. However, Ilot found it puzzling that even within these few short months, his boss continued to give him new impressions in various aspects.

Whether it was his exceptional magic skills, his views on the current world of the Continent, or his guidance today on martial arts improvement, all of it made Ilot feel like he was looking up to a mountain. And the object of this reverence was none other than the companion who had grown up with him since childhood, which stirred infinite feelings within Ilot.
