Grey joined up with Reynolds just before the group set off.
"Wait, you trained all through the night?" The lady asked when she saw Grey coming back.
"Hmm," Grey nodded.
"Wow, such diligence. No wonder you're powerful," The lady said with stars in her eyes.
She hadn't seen anyone like Grey for a long time now, so seeing how trained during the night, she couldn't help but praise him.
"Yeah, that's how he usually is. He trains all through, never having time for anything else, even going out with friends," Reynolds said while scratching his head with a smile.
The group continued talking as they headed into the forest. This forest was not as dangerous as the one they walked through the previous day. Although they occasionally encountered magical beasts at the Peak of the Origin Plane, they didn't engage them since the beasts retreated as soon as they sensed them.
