Kyle nodded his head respectfully. "I'll be careful, Dean Michael. Void is under control, and I won't let him become a danger to anyone."
The Dean regarded him for a long moment before finally smiling. "You've shown good judgment so far, Kyle. I'll trust your word. I see no reason to separate him from you."
Kyle felt a wave of relief wash over him after gaining Michael's approval. "Thank you, sir. That means a lot."
The Dean smiled faintly. "Do not thank me just yet. Raising a creature like Void will not be an easy task. His power will attract attention—both good and bad."
"I understand," Kyle said. "I'll do my best to protect him and grow stronger."
Michael's gaze softened slightly before he changed the topic. "How is your training with Dan coming along? Sword intent is no trivial matter."
"It's going well, sir. I haven't reached perfect control, but I've made significant progress."
