Gabriel spent the whole day worrying about the letter he had received, so much so that he put off going to the kitchen that day.
He left the city and headed into the forest alone; he didn't come back even when it got dark.
In the forest, Gabriel put on his former clothes, the clothes of Spark Blade, and when he was finished dressing, he took a deep breath.
He sat next to a tree, picked up a stick, and started hitting it against the ground. Its rhythm played slowly in his head as he calmed himself more and more with every second.
"I know you are already here. I won't be going easily, so come and fight already. I have things to live for now, so I'll give you a hellish time," Gabriel said and pulled out a dagger.
He stayed for a while, but no one came out.
"Oh, come on, you are wasting my time. Come and fight already, or isn't the organization after my head for being a traitor? Come out already!" he yelled.
