Wain left the Osvald's area in high spirits. Though the Cosmic Beetle incident had delayed him, Wain had achieved much more than he had originally hoped for. He had learned useful techniques and met all the conditions to begin his third evolution.
'I told Ern I'd be back quickly, but I ended up missing for a week, though I think they have a lot to do. I wonder if Erza has already cooled down or if she will try to grab me again.'
The Erza situation bothered him. He didn't know how to relate to her. She was kind of an enemy and kind of an ally. It was because of her special attitude towards Wain, that she wanted to get him, but there was no way she could do it even if she were stronger.
'Okay, anyway, she won't be a threat to me anymore after I evolve. That problem is pretty much solved, but if she finds out about Eva... it'll be a real headache.' Wain shook his head as he entered the ice gate.
