"I think seven is enough," Zein said to the commlink as he walked through the hallway of Mortix building. "I'm fine with taking four."
[Just four? You're sure? What about that kid from Mireta?] Abel's voice could be heard from the device.
"Hmm...his guiding was rather unstable. Not bad, but..."
[You have such high standard] Abel laughed. [Why don't we put him on hold until we know how many espers they'll take]
"Sure," Zein shrugged. Again, they weren't really in a dire need of guides, so he'd rather taking the one who really met his strict standard.
[Alright, have a nice trip]
The call ended and now that Zein could focus on the road, he started to walk faster with Jock. After an exhausting day of going through joint practical assessment, Zein wasted no time to get on with his initial plan of visiting Araka the next day.
