Later that day at Ravens Grave, most of the guild members had already left the main hall to focus on their own activities.
Some were outside honing their magic, others were tucked away in different rooms studying new spells.
Academy classes still hadn't resumed, but the need to grow stronger remained, especially with the demon situation still unresolved.
There was a knock at the door to Aiden's room.
"Come in," he said.
He was alone inside, standing by the window.
The door opened and Aeris stepped in quietly, though she left it halfway open. Aiden did not turn toward her; his eyes remained fixed on the view outside.
In truth, he was currently monitoring every action his variants and avatars were carrying out across different dimensions. All of it flowed through his mind at once.
"So… I wanted to thank you for earlier," Aeris said, looking off to the side, clearly embarrassed.
