Unaware of the conversation going on in the women’s bath, a disturbingly similar one was taking place within the men’s. With public baths being the most common form of bathing within the Tower, Gandr decided to take it easy alongside Hatsu and Chunhwa after their training had completed. There was nothing strange about this, but, from the moment they saw …

After spending nearly three hours discussing theory and walking his students through several basic control exercises, Vahn lightly clapped to draw everyone’s attention before saying, “Well, it’s almost time for breakfast. We’ll stop here for today. If you have any questions, write them in your journals and ask about them tomorrow.” Following Vahn’s instructions, Baam, Laure, and Hwa Ryun quickly …

Seeing endless grassy plains and rolling hills stretching out beyond the horizon, Baam couldn’t help but show an expression of wonderment as he muttered, “It’s like an endless ocean of green…”. Amused by the boy’s utterance, Vahn ruffled Baam’s hair as he explained, “This place is a spherical sub-texture with a diameter of two-thousand-kilometers. Though it might appear boundless, if …

With the time drawing ever-closer to the moment they were supposed to begin their training, most of the members of Team Wolf Pack could be seen gathering outside of Vahn’s room. A few of them had visible signs of a hangover, but, thanks to the blessings of Shinsu and an invigorating fruit drink provided by Phae, they were rapidly recovering. …

Though she got the impression her Master was about to do something very ‘dangerous’, Fenrir did not hesitate to appear at his side, eyes focused and ready for anything. This elicited an appreciative smile from her Master, but, before he could explain his intentions, Yoruichi burst into laughter while Hinata, having seen Gandr’s current state up close, covered her red …

With everyone else expected to arrive around 5 AM, Vahn awoke around 4 AM to find himself alone in his bed; a fragrant aroma and a still-present warmth attesting to the fact he hadn’t been for very long. For a brief moment, he even buried his face into the blankets, earning a giggle from Sis within the deepest recesses of …

Though he should have expected it, Vahn found himself unable to answer Nami’s question. This was a situation he had never even anticipated, so, for several seconds, he just stared back at the woman with a blank look on his face. Fortunately, now that she could do more than just speak within his mind, Sis promptly came to his aid, …

As his consciousness slowly returned, Vahn found himself enveloped in an extremely comfortable sensation. It was pleasant to the point of inspiring lethargy, so, even though he knew he shouldn’t continue sleeping, Vahn nestled closer to the aromatic warmth, hugging it tightly as he tried to go back to sleep. It wasn’t until he heard an affectionate giggle that Vahn’s …

After what felt like an exceptionally long day, the members of the Hunting Party were the last to return to the Inn. Shortly after that, everyone gathered together within Vahn’s room to eat dinner together, a mandate he had passed down as the God of the Familia. Vahn believed people became closer during meals, especially when good food was involved, …

Following the Lighthouse to Gandr’s last reported location, Khun had a frown on his face as he saw neither hide nor hair of the mischievous young Vanargandr. The only thing that indicated someone had been in the area at all was an eerily artistic blood spatter. Noticing the eerie crescent, Baam couldn’t help but fear the worse, but, before he …
