Near Kayden's house, there was a teenager with several bruises on his body and his clothes in tatters. He was short and had very visible canines. His blonde hair and pointed ears gave him away as an elf.
"Good morning, Lucas", Kayden greeted the same boy who managed to reach the treasure while entering the academy.
"Hello, professor", his speech came out with gaps, he was worn out.
"You came alone?" Kayden remembered setting the difficulty level so they couldn't do the climb alone.
"No, but I was the only one who wasn't rescued along the way." These elves were mostly flowers in a greenhouse, but the mountain was a brutal climb. In the early days, they could not climb even a hundred meters before being destroyed by any circumstances.
