With things calmed down, Eldrian had multiple meetings with Ziraili throughout the following weeks.
Most of these meetings happened within his soul world. It was the simplest method for the two to meet and sufficed when no physical lessons were planned: those were limited to once a week.
During the more classical lessons, Ziraili was bringing Eldrian's knowledge up to the level that he needed to make some decent progress.
As much as Eldrian felt he understood things, he only had a high school education. He might have some vague understandings, but he didn't really understand how the world worked.
Sure, he had answers. But they only went so far. And as much as the world could be divided into simple, then complicated, then simple again. One couldn't ignore a step before getting to the next one.
