Atticus walked through the gates of the Fire Sanctum, trailing behind Dekai, who was wearing a small smile.
'This place hasn't changed at all,' Atticus thought as he took in his surroundings. Everything was just as he remembered. However, unlike his last visit, there was no grand welcome. The students strolled about, going about their business—until they spotted Atticus walking across the sanctum. The uproar was immense.
"Isn't that…?"
"It's him! What's he doing here?"
Whispers and murmurs spread like wildfire as soon as he was recognized. Though it had taken a few days after he left, there was now no one in the sanctum who didn't know who Atticus was or what he had accomplished.
He hadn't just broken the sanctum's records; he had shattered them. Every student there had been shocked when they heard about his feats.
"I've heard from Master Magnus already. You plan to form your domain?" Dekai asked as they walked.
