Competition at the Center of the Plagued Lands

...…

Shin rubbed the back of his head to relieve the pain from being smacked by an invisible stick as he sat up on the floor.

He then looked at Old Benn as he asked. "Teacher, if you are back, then is Master also here?"

Grandmaster Benn paused for a moment before shaking his head. "That geezer is still in the middle of the mission. I just come back here because I can seal the place assigned to me with the help of an old friend."

"But don't worry. That friend is heading toward your master's location, so it will not take that long before he can come back as well," he added before turning to Shin as he said. "Show me the progress of your mentalism. Let me see how much you have improved."

Shin thought that Grandmaster Benn had seen him sparring with David earlier, which was why he was aware of the special technique that he had created. But from the look of it, the old fatty seemed to have only gotten the idea after overhearing his mumblings just now.
