Arthur was looking at the town with a bright smile. Although there are still war in this country, people were happy and peaceful. They were both brave and wise.
Zoe ran around Arthur and said quickly.
" Arthur, let's eat something. I smell super delicious foods around here."
Vision took out his purse and handed a coin to her. He said lightly.
" Don't use Noxian coins. It will bring trouble to us. I changed my money to Piltovian coins. This should be alright for now."
Zoe nodded and took the coin. She went to the vendor and pointed at the foods and devoured it happily. Arthur smiled.
" It is hard to believe that she is an aspect. She is just like my sister."
Vision smiled lightly.
" Yes, she does resemble the young mistress."
Arthur laughed. He elbowed Vision and said with a smile.
" Well, when will I see my student's children?"
Vision's face turned into awkward. He deliberately dodged the question.
" It's getting hot here. Maybe, I should buy a few packets of ice."
Arthur grinned. He extended his hand and cold air passed through them.
Vision's expression turned into embarrassment as he fled to Zoe. Arthur sighed and he touched his pocket. He sighed once again and walked towards the alley.
In the alley
The boy took out the purse and counted the coins. He laughed quietly.
" Hehe, I am rich. I can buy whatever I want."
Suddenly, Arthur appeared in front of him. He looked at the boy and asked.
" What is your name boy?"
The boy was scared silly. He never thought Arthur would be a mage. He carefully put down the purse and said calmly.
" I didn't know you were a mage. Please forgive my rudeness. Here is your money."
This aroused Arthur's interest even more. He snapped his finger and space around him turned into mirrors. He leaked his killing intent slightly.
The boy trembled, but he stood there with a stubborn look. He was still looking at Arthur's eyes.
Arthur's eyes lit up and he laughed.
" Good, a man must have backbone. You are one of the few who stood against my power. I clap for your bravery and will."
The boy sighed with relief. He looked at Arthur and said lightly.
" Please take me with you. I know a lot about First Land. This is my home."
Arthur touched his chin. He asked with curiosity.
" Why are you here in the first place? You aren't a normal kid, are you?"
The boy bit his lips. He didn't want to lose his chance as he replied truthfully.
" My school was burned to the ground because we didn't comply the orders."
Arthur nodded. He patted his shoulder and said with pity.
" So, you were from the martial school. I guess your home was burned by Noxian army and you had no savings. Because of this you have decided to pickpocket others. Well, I understand. However, you are still a criminal. You shouldn't have stolen from others."
The boy stood there silently. He knew his sin and his mistakes. He had other options like being a bodyguard. However, he was just a kid in front of others. Due to this, others disdained him even he hailed from the martial school.
Arthur observed his expression and he sighed. He waved his hand and said lightly.
" Come with us."
The boy lifted his head. His eyes were filled tears as he muttered.
" Thank you. My name is Ian."
Arthur patted his head. He was really soft for the children because he understood their situation more than anyone. He had lived like this for a few months.
" Let's go. Call me master from now on. You are lucky to be my student."
Ian bowed his head and knelt down. He banged his three times on the ground even though it was dirty. This was his school's tradition to show their respect. Arthur gazed at him and hurriedly helped him up. He said angrily.
" What are you doing suddenly? You almost gave me a heart attack. Don't do this again. My student must stand tall for the weak."
Ian looked at him and said seriously.
" Yes, master."
Arthur sighed wiped his forehead. He looked at Ian's tattered clothes and said calmly.
" Follow me."
