"Haha, Ivan, you guys are way too slow."
Time flowed like water. On the Chanay Continent, not far from the East Capital, an airship hovered steadily at high altitude waiting for the approach of the Cloud Shuttle.
The two airships were still some distance apart when Ivan spotted a man standing on the opposing deck with a broad grin.
The man was none other than Hotter, and the airship was his personal vessel, the Thunder Wolf.
"Good morning, Master Hotis, when did you arrive?"
Ivan gazed speechlessly at Hotter's antics. This guy truly lacked the demeanor of an Arcane Wizard and always had to make a competition out of everything.
On the return trip, they hadn't been in a rush, and the Cloud Shuttle wasn't traveling at full speed.
The Thunder Wolf, on the other hand, set off two days earlier and at its maximum speed, clearly motivated by ulterior motives.
