"Well, I warned you. I'm not responsible for the consequences of your decision." Wain shrugged, stood up, and headed for the exit.
Gisle took a deep breath and whispered looking at Wain's retreating back, "Don't worry, I'll reach the Absolute Stage soon enough. I may never get your level, but I just want to be able to influence the Great War."
...
In Last Light, there were many places where Wain and Gisle could fight since each city had several arenas equipped for duels or training. However, none of this was designed for fighters of their level, so they headed to the forest a few kilometers away from Merge Island.
"Agh... The simple fresh air... There are many pleasant feelings in this world, but this is one of the best..." Wain muttered, enjoying the taste of the forest.
"I thought Lands of the Gods was much better, wasn't it?" Gisle asked with a slight smile on his face.
