"What do you think you're doing exactly, Aika?"
Aika lounged in Old Wan's cave without a care and even covered her mouth in a yawn, seemingly unbothered by Old Wan's rare display of seriousness.
"Don't talk to me like I'm a child. I've caught up to you now, I can do as I please. You're content to hide like a rat down here, but I am not. I only followed your lead because I was too weak to have a say, but now that I've broken through, I'll be leading the Radiant Star Sect forward as I please."
"And then what? Condemn all these youths to death?"
"And who's fault would that be? Mine?"
"Who's fault could it be if not yours? Is it not you leading them toward a march of doom? This is probably the absolute worst time to ascend to the Second Heaven. Even the Iunae Clan who has a small foothold hasn't dared to do so and is still biding their time until the matters with the Heavenly Path are concluded."
