Even though the Guburg had declared their hostility towards the other two tribes, after eliminating the most direct enemies, they were benevolent enough to let the rest of the population leave the old landmass peacefully.

Many think that they did this out of pity, benevolence, or simply to not anger Heaven, but my thoughts about this matter are much more controversial.

My theory is that they allowed the rest to leave because they needed us. Maybe they didn't need us right now, but with the Warrior Queen Raziel being one of the few survivors of the battle between worlds, she knows the importance of the variety of skills that the various tribes have. So I believe that she let us leave because she feared that in the future, a new battle between worlds would begin, and the Guburg wouldn't be enough to make our world win, or at least to minimize the damage that our world could receive from that kind of battle.

"—Extract from "Politics Between the Three Tribes," written by Letine Greenfire, Headmaster of the Ventar Academy.

For the following days, Zack spent most of his time reading in the library of the academy, attending a few free lessons imparted by the scholars of the academy, and cultivating in his room.

Even though he didn't learn much from those lessons and documents, it was still interesting to see the difference between his knowledge and the one that was taught in the academy, and because he was waiting for the information about his mother's whereabouts, he didn't have much to do at the time.

He could try to follow Heaven's message, but he felt like there wasn't a need to rush it, so he preferred to prepare himself and learn about the general situation of the new continent before trying to follow it.

Three days later, he was called to Letine's office.

"Have you called for me?" he asked as soon as he entered the office.

"Yes, I have. We have already found your mother. She lives on the outskirts of Losa. As far as I know, she has been teaching martial arts in a small dojo to whoever wanted to learn them. This is her home address, so you can go there whenever you want." she said as she gave Zack a paper scroll.

"Thank you for everything. If there isn't anything else that you need to tell me, I will leave immediately to meet my mother. " Zack said excitedly.

"There is nothing more. You can leave. " She said as she began to look at the paperwork that was on her desk again.

After hearing that, Zack left the office and began to look at the scroll. In it, he found a little map of the city that indicated the route that he needed to follow to reach his mother's home.

When Letine told him that his mother was teaching martial arts, he wasn't surprised. After all, she was the one that taught him how to use the sword and a lot of martial arts to go with it. As a proud Youko cultivator, his mother had been training with weapons since she was a child, so it was only logical for her to continue using her skills to earn a living.

In no time, he located the exit of the academy, and in less than half an hour, he arrived at the door of his mother's dojo.

It was a small wooden house, surrounded by a wooden fence. It had a small garden, where he found a group of children practicing with wooden swords.

Next to them, a middle-aged woman corrected their movements each time she spotted a mistake.

"Bran, move your feet more. Linton, straighten your back. Morton, how many times do I have to tell you that you have to grab the sword firmly." The woman shouted at the kids without noticing that Zack had entered the garden. "Garris, stop closing your eyes each time you are going to get hit. If you don't, there is no way you will avoid the hit."

"Keeping your eyes open is very important, but it is also pretty difficult at the beginning. But don't you worry, you will get used to it as we all did. " Zack said with a smile.

As soon as Zack's mother heard his voice, she suddenly stood still for a few seconds before turning towards Zack and realizing that he was there. When she saw him, she ran towards him and hugged him with all her strength.
