Aron entered the dimly lit warehouse, the familiar scent of dust and rust greeting him.

Klain had kept tabs on Aron's progress over the years. After Aron showed his talent, Klain also didn't hesitate to invest more resources to aid his growth.
It was thanks to those aids that Aron had managed to progress rapidly in his Aether cultivation despite the shaky start in the beginning.
