━───Chiye and Jiwoo talked comfortably afterwards. Their conversation varying from serious to lighthearted, laughing and smiling from time to time before turning to a serious topic and going back to a not so serious one. Jiwoo was enjoying his conversation with Chiye, and was a bit reluctant to stop when Chiye told him that she's already sleepy.
Unsurprisingly, the young girl is still the typical Chiye who does what she wants. When she said she's sleepy, that means she's gonna sleep no matter what happened. Since Jiwoo is already feeling alright, she disappeared with a quick good night without caring whether Jiwoo wanted to sleep or not, leaving Jiwoo in the company of the dark night and calming ocean.
When she teleported back in her dorm, she saw Kartein's cat form reading that book 'The Life of Ants' that she's been reading.
"Why are you reading this?" Kartein, who's already used to Chiye's mushroom like presence, wasn't the least bit surprise when Chiye appeared out of nowhere. He raised an eyebrow and didn't bother waiting for the answer in his first question, "How's your talk with that brat?"
Chiye scoffed emotionless, "Don't you already know? Sensei....would it really be impossible for him to fight?"
"Of course it's not impossible." Kartein sneered, rolling his eyes at his apprentice who still asked questions despite already knowing the answer. "Similar to Jiwoo's situation, you'll be in great danger if the news of you being my student was spread. Although I'm not like that lunatic Kayden who can make everyone his enemy, I am also an awakened who fought my way to the top. It's only normal that I also have enemies, and they won't hesitate to turn their heads at you if they learned about your existence as my apprentice."
"That's why you can't slack off." Kartein smiled, "Now go get some sleep."
Chiye was speechless. 'Didn't you say not to slack off?'

Morning has arrived, and Chiye went out early in the morning to enjoy the rising sun and train herself when an unexpected event took place.
