I walk out of the village again and meet with everyone but...

«Where are the slaves?» (Me)

«They came here, thanked us, told us to thank you as well and departed immediately.» (Laura)

-They probably have families and things to do that they couldn't while being slaves.-

At this moment the sun started to rise.

' I spent the whole night up... '

Noemi looks at me and sighs.

«Let's take the day off today. Sleep well Nystro.» (Noemi)

I lie down and fall asleep almost instantly.

Once I wake up, we continue to head north. Every day had already an untold routine. We walk until the sun starts to set, train until the sun completely sets and then sleep. We have lunch and dinner in the meantime.

To be honest, Zey's progress is abnormal. Training every day on his own, he's developing original magic at the snap of a finger. We had quite a few problems when he decided that a giant fire tornado was a good idea. Or that giant explosion that sent pieces of sharp metal everywhere. Or that massive fireball that burnt half of the forest... He really likes fire related magic... He has complete control over all the four basic elements and a few advanced ones like explosion magic.

Right now, Zey is face to face with a half-dragon warrior... His dragon half seems to be from an earth or mud dragon.

«If you really aren't a terrorist, why would you use such dangerous magic near the city?!» (Half-dragon)

«Like I said, I didn't know that the city was that close! I was just practicing!» (Zey)

«That's what you get for using those dangerous spells without properly analyzing your surroundings.» (Me)

«Please help!» (Zey)

«Don't worry, you're Zey, the great! You can deal with it!» (Noemi)

Yup, he recently had his ego so inflated that he thought no one apart from those in our group could defeat him.

«You're coming with me!» (Half-dragon)

And that's how we got into the neutral lands.
