624 The Mysterious Gear in the Void (2/3)

"I don't know. I'll probably leave Firuman once I've repaired the Void Ferry." Piasce shrugged and then sighed.

"Everyone knew. That's why they all hated me. That's why they are all so intent on killing me." Piasce closed his eyes, visibly tormented by the events in Omir.

The way everyone looked at him with such visceral hatred still haunted his every waking moment. His students numbered in the tens of thousands, but after the incident, everyone avoided him like the plague.
