"I'm home!" Silas shouted, but he didn't hear a reply. However, his improved hearing allowed him to hear some movement within the training hall, causing him to slightly narrow his eyes before walking into the room.

In his hands, one could see a small pouch with some meat and vegetables inside.

Walking toward a small trapdoor on the ground, Silas crouched slightly and opened it.

When he opened it, the cold breeze one would feel from a fridge made him relax a little. This was his own contraption. He had been learning about runes for the last couple of years, and while it hadn't been his main objective, it was a side product of staying around Virack for so many hours a day.

After spending several months with Virack when his armor was being improved, he chose to finally get a book on runes since he wanted to understand what was happening.

His expertise on runes went as far as creating spells. However, due to him being able to recall every single rune on the life equation and being able to explain a little less than half, it was much easier for him to understand everything on the subject.

However, runesmithing wasn't the objective. It was just a side product of him trying to improve his rune spells.

But for now, that didn't matter.

Placing all the perishable products inside the fridge, he had created by using water affinity cores, he quickly got up from where he was and closed the fridge with his foot.

He quickly turned to the training hall and toward it. 𝗯𝐞𝐝𝗻𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐥.𝐜𝗼𝐦

*Swish*

The Japanese-style training hall was made out of wood and had sliding doors.

Silas slid the doors open with a simple movement and looked at two training individuals together.

One was a red-haired mage, while the other was a pink-haired knight.

They didn't speak to one another. They didn't say a single word to each other.

All they did was spar.

The red-haired man could be seen saying a few words and launching spells that had a wide area of effect. They were all fire spells, yet, despite the training area being made out of wood, not an inch of the place was charred.

Runes all over the place could be seen shining whenever the red-haired boy threw out an attack.

On the other hand, the pink-haired girl shot toward the red-haired boy with immense speed, yet, despite everything she did, she couldn't get close to him without being hit by the flames.

Silas watched the two spar for a few minutes. They hadn't even realized he was there as both of them were engrossed in their battle.

Their spar grew more intense as the seconds passed, and eventually, their attacks came out toward each other at a speed that only people with their perception could even see, let alone react to.

"That's enough." Silas said while standing up from where he was sitting. When his words entered their ears, they both flinched slightly and turned toward him with their weapons in hand.

"Silas! You're here already." Nymira was faster than Alex in reaction to Silas' presence. She had a joyful expression, but Silas ignored it for now.

"I'm suprised you didn't smell me the moment I entered the house. Your senses are getting weaker." Silas said with a disappointed sigh.

"Yeah, but you've already covered this whole place with runes that would riddle an enemy with so many holes that they might as well have been a spongeling." Nymira tried to argue.

"That doesn't matter." Silas narrowed his eyes with slight annoyance before he carried on.

"What if that was an enemy who could move through the house without us being able to see him? What if my runes didn't perceive him, and he killed you two?" Silas folded his arms over his chest.

"Uhm. Silas... Where's this coming from?" Alex asked with a confused expression.

He could see Nymira getting agitated, but he was more worried about Silas. Silas barely showed anger or any other feeling than complete calmness. For the first few years, Silas was quick to show his emotions on his face, but after a while, he stopped unless it was with them.

Yet, even with them, the only emotion he really showed with slight agitation when they tried to annoy him, or any of the more positive emotions.

However, right now, he could see slight anger in Silas' eyes.

"Is this because we went to Syra without your permission?" Nymira asked with a tinge of anger.

"This isn't coming from anywhere." Silas answered back, but they both knew that was a lie.

"You wouldn't get angry like this if there wasn't a reason." Nymira retorted, causing Silas to fight and rub the bridge of his nose.

"I'm not angry with you two... I'm disappointed." Silas said before continuing- "First of all, Nym. The spider was at your level. How did you even lose? You should have been able to kill it on your own. I get that you were protecting Syra, but even then..." Silas let out a sigh while Nymira looked down at the ground slightly.

However, in the next moment, she looked up and pointed at Alex.

"He didn't help me. He ran away!" She quickly put the blame on Alex.

"Hey! What! I didn't run away!" Alex argued.

"Oh really? Then, where were you when I was fighting that thing all on my own." Nymira harrumphed.

"I was taking the Zelon guy out!" Alex shouted back.

"No, you weren't! I saw Eclipse take that kid out all on his own. You just followed behind him like a coward." Nymira sneered.

"Hey! What if they were attacked on the way out!"

"Eclipse can take care of himself. If you were with me, we would have won. Instead, you made Silas come all the way to us just to help me kill some small spider."

"It had a sapphire core! A solid one at that! You want me to up against that thing!" Alex shouted while pointing at Nymira as if he was being discriminated against.

"Aha! So you admit that you are a coward!" Syra grinned at Alex, and his heart dropped when she said that.

"Sigh." Silas let out an audible breath, making both of them look at him.

I expect improvement from the lot of you. Is that understood? What I saw there was quite disappointing. If you two lose like that again, I might have to make up a punishment to ensure you learn your lesson." Silas said before a smile appeared on his face, but by then, both of their faces had dropped.

"W-Wait... Silas... We can talk about this." Alex stuttered.

"Y-Yeah. Alex is right. No need to be hasty." Nymira also spoke up, but by then, Silas had already turned around.

"I'm going to make food. You two train together until then." Silas waved to them before leaving through the sliding wooden door.
