Leaving No Room for Doubts

Vaan couldn't help but laugh in his heart.

He didn't expect Elder Yorem to be so bold and decisive in making such a large promise. If he wanted, he could request Elder Yorem to become his backer in the Martial Hall.

However, actually doing so would lower Elder Yorem's opinion of him and hurt their relationship. As such, he couldn't do that. Building up their relationship was more beneficial to his plans.

Nevertheless, Vaan still had to make some adjustments to his plan due to Elder Yorem's promise.

After all, Elder Yorem's promise was guaranteed to be his.

Meanwhile, Acharon's smugness grew as Elder Yorem picked a random book off the shelf to test Vaan's martial knowledge. He couldn't wait to see Elder Yorem reveal Vaan's pathetic lie.

How dare he boast such an obvious lie? Did he think learning martial arts was as easy as breathing?
