Now that he had decided to leave there was no use procrastinating so he didn't hesitate to clean up the cave he had stayed in and getting ready to leave.

Once again he had to traverse the dark forest before reaching the grassland. Even though he hurried it was only three days later that he arrived at the gates to the safe zone around the capital.

* I'm finally back. *, he couldn't help but think while being filled with happiness. Even though his stay in the valley and the mountains around it wasn't all that bad it was the way back that had reallystressed his mind. He silently swore to himself to never again cross the grassland without a mount that could drastically reduce the time needed.

As soon as he stepped through the thin magical membrane he was back in civilization and the system informed him that certain options were once again unlocked like the shop and teleport option which wouldn't work in the wilderness.

He then hurriedly teleported back to his room at the campus and without wasting even a second ran into the bathroom.

He couldn't wait to get rid of his clothes that he had now worn for nearly two weeks. And even though they were still clean because of the enchantments on them it didn't stop him from feeling disgusted by them. It wasn't a rational feeling but it still existed.

After throwing the clothes aside he then stepped into the shower and turned on the water. The feeling of it washing over his skin was heavenly and not comparable to that of washing in a waterfall.

Grabbing a bar of soap he then thoroughly cleaned himself until his skin was red.

”Finally I am feeling clean again.”

He then left the shower and put on some other clothes consisting of a simple jeans and t-shirt. Since they were wider than his uniform it gave him the feeling of being free and unrestrained.

Taking one look at his uniform he had thrown into a corner he couldn't be bothered to care about it and as such just left it lying there for now.

After cleaning himself up he now once again felt like a human being and he proceeded to call his mentor.

”Hello mentor.”

”Hey, Ivan. You are back?”

”Yes. I just got back.”, he didn't mention the hour he had spend under the shower as he thought that it would better not to tell him that.

”Haha, let me guess you just came out of the shower.”

A flash of surprise appeared in Ivans eyes but it soon vanished. He had slowly gotten used to his mentor seemingly being able to guess his actions.

”Yes.”, he could only admit.
