Mika's words and his behavior had perplexed Samar.
The quest from Blacksmith Avad had painted Mika as the traitor who colluded with Necromancer Vol Ming. Yet, Mika absolutely believed in Blacksmith Avad.
Mika was sure of Avad's goodness and innocence even after BigSoftie revealed his quest to kill him. Samar was even more baffled when Mika readily accepted his fate of death but changed his mind when he heard that his teacher had turned into a half undead!
He had also claimed that he was not the traitor but someone else who was still around Blacksmith Avad. He had also not disclosed the identity of the traitor before going into a slumber to preserve Soul Strength and consciousness.
It was not just the behavior of NPCs that surprised him but the forcefully issued quest that they could not reject!
