Chapter 326: Lessons Learned and a Triumphant Return (2/2)

Stingham combed through his hair and then put his hands at his waist as he shouted towards Kelly, “I am handsome!”

Upon hearing Stingham’s response, Kelly almost tripped.

At this time, Ayrin turned and looked towards Minlur as he said, “Teacher Minlur, in the future, you, Teacher Carter, and the others will become the people I chase after. Only if I also surpass you all can I defeat Jean Camus… and that guy is constantly improving as well.”

“Ahahaha…” Minlur laughed wildly as he asked, “Is Jean Camus truly that strong?”

“He’s strong. Very strong,” Ayrin sternly replied with a nod.

“If that’s the case, then you must train even harder so that you can surpass him!” Minlur exclaimed as he extended a fist towards Ayrin.

Smack!

Ayrin received Minlur’s fist bump. Afterwards, he shouted, “I promise to train even harder than before. But for now, let us go and find Charlotte and the others!”

Stingham almost tripped over himself as he shouted, “Ayrin, just how can your thoughts jump so much?!”

……

Atop a plain in Fallen Shadow Valley located in what was now designated as the Third Northern District, ten arcane teams spread out and conducted a sweep of the area.

This area had been a market town of the Evil Dragon Followers. As a result, there were many warehouses, bakeries, and pubs in the area.

Areas like this one often contained hidden rooms and buildings which contained things which could be of use for arcane masters.

“That’s?”

At this moment, several of the arcane teams abruptly froze as a man with long black hair appeared in the distance and walked into a collapsed pub.

They watched as the long-haired man picked through the debris, picked up a bottle of wine and uncorked it with his mouth before promptly throwing his head back and draining the bottle.

“I haven’t tasted wine for so long…”

A look of satisfaction emerged on the man’s face as he muttered to himself. Afterwards, he began to walk away.

“That was… Dimensional Wanderer Cold Moon?”

“It’s already been twenty years since his last appearance… He’s still alive?!”

“Are you sure that was him?”

“I’m certain! Look at the arcane energy fluctuation below his body, it’s like a black crescent moon. That’s his symbol! And he looks the same as described in legends!”

Cries of shock emerged as the arcane masters watched the black haired man’s disappearing figure.

As he walked, there was a curved streak of black light flickering beneath his feet like a black crescent moon.

……

“That’s? … Ayrin and the others?”

In an area which had been named Witch Hat Town, Moss, who had been sitting in the attic of the tallest building on guard duty, abruptly saw several familiar figures appear in his vision.

“And Teacher Minlur as well… Ayrin and the others have returned!”

Moss quickly snapped out of his daze as he let out an excited shout and made his way down from the attic and out of the building like a raging whirlwind.

“Ayrin and the others have returned?”

Upon hearing Moss’s shouting, figures began to emerge from witihn several of the surrounding buildings.

Belo, Chris, Charlotte, Wilde, Ivan, and Ferguillo all appeared atop the once empty street in quick succession.

“Charlotte! Moss! Chris! Belo!…”

Ayrin’s loud and excited voice rang over from the distance.
