Ayjen didn't have much time to take in Bolton's words. Just a few minutes later, Kriff and Bil came into view as they reentered the chamber. Their demeanors and expressions were the same as before, the same was true for their pace and body language apart from the overwhelming satisfaction oozing out of Kriff's eyes.
The moment they got close, Bil spoke up, "Kriff is now my direct disciple, in honor of his father and my fallen brothers…"
Nodding in silence, Bolton gave Ayjen a little nudge. "I'm glad you got yourself a solid apprentice. I'm curious to see what will happen when you mix the fighting style of the kora regiment and Kriff's lightning."
"So, you've made it official?"
"Yeah. I've already pledged to leave Lightning Chateau, regardless of how they react," Kriff boldly answered. "And… you're welcome to join me if you want."
