Dean Watkin did not hurriedly announce his return. The next day, he left Mongna Ant Land Cottage, preparing to deal with the affairs of the offshore islands and, by the way, to inform this land of his return.
A flying beast steadily headed south towards the Flash Vortex Academy Alliance.
In the blink of an eye, another flying beast swooped down from the clouds and abruptly blocked Dean Watkin's path. A sorcerer in a black robe stood on the back of the flying beast, his presence a clear sign of ill intent.
"Monde Watkin of the Mongna Ant Land Cottage, I've been awaiting you for a long time," the man said courteously.
"Who are you and why are you blocking my way?"
A chill rose in Monde Watkin's heart. Not many knew of his whereabouts, and he had not expected his movements to be exposed so quickly. It seemed it was time for a thorough investigation within the academy.
"I merely wish to borrow your head for a moment," the man said indifferently.
"Arrogant!" Monde bellowed angrily.
