Orton thus stayed in Thunderhawk City, becoming Rocky's teacher.
This turn of events was completely unexpected to everyone, but on second thought, it seemed to make sense.
Orton was an academic fanatic, despite his age, his pursuit of academic knowledge had never ceased, so when he learned of the existence of Mana Runes that completely overlapped with his field of expertise, he was absolutely unable to let go.
At the same time, since he was only focused on research, he didn't value the immense power and prestige that Mana Runes could bring, in Orton's eyes, money, fame, rights, and status were all external matters, and he didn't care about them at all.
Yes, if Orton cared about these things, he wouldn't have ended up in the predicament he was in today.
Therefore, his decision to stay in Thunderhawk City, although surprising at a glance, was actually quite reasonable upon reflection.
