Dean Bruce could clearly hear the urgency in Nicholas William's voice. Turning around, he smiled warmly at Nicholas and asked softly, "You're really hoping I leave, aren't you?"
"How could that be?" Nicholas William quickly replied, "I'd wish for nothing more than for you to always stay by my side, teaching me magic. Why would I want you to leave?"
Seeing the anxiety and nervousness on Nicholas William's face, Dean Bruce decided not to tease him any longer. Smiling, he said, "Instead of wasting time worrying about these things, you should calm your mind and focus on your training. If you can fully grasp the magic I've taught you, then no crisis in this world could pose a threat to us as master and disciple."
After saying this, Dean Bruce didn't even glance at the dumbfounded Nicholas William. He squeezed his legs together, and with that, Firebolt shot out of the camp at an incredible speed, racing into the forest.
