"As a rank 3 Wizard apprentice, Angele has already met the requirement for breaking the limit. Following the school’s rule, I’ll distribute one serving of Water of Asu to him." Liliana had a strange expression on her face. Angele could not tell if she was laughing or crying. She took a small tube, similarly made from vulcanized crystal, with golden liquid inside out of her robe.

Liliana placed the tube on Angele’s palm gently.

"You’re my 13th disciple. I hope you remember that you shall never lose yourself to power and unnecessary emotions."

"Yes, Master." Angele held the tube carefully with his hand.

"I wish you all the best," Liliana spoke in a deep tone, "Sorry, ladies and gentlemen. I still have a lab to attend to, so I have to leave now."

She looked at the bald man with a glass of red wine in her hand, "Gaz, you better be careful. If you’re captured in Santiago, there’ll be nothing I can do."
