Surprised Crowd

Alex prepared to leave now that he had passed the test. He placed the talisman into his storage ring and waited for the trial master to send him out.

However, he wasn't immediately sent away. He frowned a little and turned to look at the soul that was now staring back at him rather intently. That surprised him a little.

Unsure what he was supposed to do here, he quickly bowed in respect and said, "Thank you for helping me train."

"That was training for you?" the woman's voice finally drifted into his ears.

Alex nodded softly. "That was a rather opportune moment to improve my Intent. Please forgive me if I did something that I was not supposed to do."

"You certainly did," the woman said. "But I do not care about that right now. I care about something else."

Alex was taken aback a little. "What are you concerned with?" he asked her.
