Alex stepped out into the room and went infront of his master's room and knocked it.
"Master, I'll be leaving soon. The villa is ready," he said, keeping his voice steady even though a quiet excitement stirred in his chest.
The door slid open, and Elyndros walked out slowly, robes drifting behind him like mist. His eyes rested on Alex for a moment, unreadable as always.
"I have nothing to teach you for now," Elyndros said. His tone was calm, but there was weight behind it. "However, I've gathered the blood required for the fourth level of your body cultivation technique."
He extended his hand. A space ring floated toward Alex.
"Go cultivate. Humanity is looking forward to your advancement. We are all counting on you."
There was no dramatic farewell. No emotional speech. Elyndros simply turned and returned to his room, the door closing with a soft click.
Alex stood there for a second, staring at the ring in his palm. The words lingered heavier than he expected.
