In the end, the enemies didn't show up again. Since their surprise attack failed, it made sense that they wouldn't try again… if Rain were in their shoes, he would target other areas, but dealing a massive blow to the meat production of the realm seemed like the enemy's best option.
Regardless, the group killed time by sparring as much as they could without trying too hard. Rain began to spar without using magic to assist him, and that increased the difficulty level, but he had yet to take a direct hit, so he was fine with that. Also, Asche joined them with her two knives. She was quite skilled with them, so Rain would need some time to hit her since she was also good at mirroring his moments.
"The time of our mission ended, so we will leave the rest to you guys," Jori declared to the white-bearded man when the day of the departure for them arrived.
"You can rest easy, return to the capital knowing that you did a fine job," The white-bearded man said.
