Dante left the Black Land with his group, his avatar feeling refreshed as he meditated using the incenses, but rather sought to clear his mind and achieve 'the dao' rather than work hard sorting out wires, since the avatar literally couldn't do so anyway.
Meanwhile, the others also looked quite pleased as no matter how badly they scored, they still gained some insights while in the first mock exam. Even Louisa, who was trailing the class, looked somewhat touched, but everyone gave her a wide berth.
Not only was she a pure human of a top clan, but no one forgot her initial arrogance and behavior. Even though most of the class avoided each other anyway, and there was literally no harmony or camaraderie, there were some small pockets of similar races or factions.
