The Proposal

Once everything including the new members was settled, I wanted to move on to the next point. I contacted Jon, Milly, and Sans, the adventurers that I recruited from the raid, but they weren't able to come. They were surprised about the long-range communication. The trio were on a mission, so I told them to make an appearance after they returned.

"Since almost everyone is here, I should tell you what I am planning. I'm dropping out of the academy," I revealed.

"What!?" Lily gasped.

"Smarus, there is still a lot to gain from the academy, why would you drop out?" Donkor asked.

"What is the academy?" Kanna asked.

There were a few more protests and questions, so I figured I'd just stay silent until everyone silenced themselves. It would be a pain trying to talk over everyone.

"That makes sense," Aurora's statement caused everyone to quiet down.
