Foxy, Zoom, and Fattey stood close to him, their eyes reflecting the sadness of their master's decision.
"I'll be back," Fowad said, his voice filled with determination. "When I'm stronger."
Helena's eyes glistened with unshed tears. "You're already strong, Fowad. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise."
Caidus placed a hand on Fowad's shoulder. "If you ever need guidance, you know where to find me."
Grevan who arrived few minutes ago nodded. "Go find your path, Fowad. And when you're ready, return to us."
Fowad said thank you. I didn't think you would come headmaster. I thought you would be busy fixing everything.
Then Fowad thanked everyone present.
With a final look at the academy, Fowad turned and walked away, his beasts following closely behind. The path ahead was uncertain, but his resolve was clear.
