Soran left the room to report to his Master, which was probably the dean, Shang assumed.
Viera went back to whatever she was doing, and Mervin pulled Shang along with him.
Mervin led Shang to the gates of the academy, and they quickly left it.
By now, Shang could see a busy city, a far cry from the dead city he had seen at night.
Shang could hear the constant hitting of hammers, the roaring fires in bakeries and forges, and many people loudly trading with each other on the streets.
Even more, nearly every person on the streets wore armor and weapons, showing that they were warriors.
Mervin and Shang then left the city without saying anything. When the guards saw Mervin, they simply shot him a greeting and let him pass.
Then, the two of them ran down the long street, which was filled with many different carts. The carts were all filled with different wares.
"You should listen to Soran," Mervin said suddenly.
