When Leon and Bleia finally arrived to where the groups had split apart, there were four people waiting for them already.
Noticing the weakest team had successfully returned safely, a relaxed smile simultaneously appeared on the faces of Marcus, Leander, Isaac, and Bruce as their hearts finally felt at ease. If something happened to the Leon and Bleia duo, someone would have to do investigation missions all alone.
But before they could ease their blooming smiles, they were slack-jawed after seeing the dead body Bleia had brought back with her. Seeing the black-colored Mage robe with distinct characteristics from the ones they're wearing, they all came up with an idea... this apprentice Mage's corpse belonged to a Fallen apprentice Mage.
While the three advanced apprentices could still remain impassive, the Pseudo-Mage Marcus sported an unnatural expression on his face.
