Hearing Colton's words, Charles understood that his master was considering his well-being.
Colton cared about his future development and didn't want him to take this risk, worrying that if he truly failed, he would sacrifice his entire alchemist career.
Colton, Ezra, Jamie, Hale, and others all made Charles feel warmth, he really cared about these people.
The curse on Master Hale had already been lifted, and on Ezra's side, there were Cecilia and Drake, two eighth-level Beast Masters, ready to provide assistance.
Now Master Colton faced a dilemma and needed his help.
Moreover, Charles truly wasn't worried about the alchemist duel, he had seven days left, which was enough time for him to become a top-tier alchemist.
"Master, I really think there's no need to worry about this. The ones who should be worried are them, I won't lose." Charles said with a serious expression.
