Even though he had known about this beforehand, he still thanked the people who came to bring him the information.
He rubbed his sword, that had long fully recovered through various resources that Samuel found in Afirer Kingdom.
But even if he spent his time recovering his sword, he never neglected his practice and still managed to reach rank 9 some time ago.
It was precisely because he had advanced to rank 9 that he chose to return.
Because he knew very well that it would be impossible for him to advance again anytime soon.
The improvement upon reaching rank 9 was too slow.
He might need a decade if he wanted to reach the peak of rank 9 and then attempted to advance to rank 10.
There was not enough time.
Only after the Green Planet was safe would it be possible for him to rest and possibly attempt to reach the peak again.
