A smiling Rio!?

Dragon Palace, Rio's room.

Rio woke up and found himself lying on the large, king-size bed. He grabbed his smartphone from the nearby table and glanced at the date.

'Indeed, three days have passed; it seems what Fenix said about time being faster in that graveyard was true afterall…'

Rio sighed and got up from the bed; his clothes were still disheveled and dirty.

Obviously he was still wearing the same clothes as three days ago; Fenix didn't help him change, and in fact it would have been creepier if his clothes were not the same.

'Er… I wonder how the evaluation test went for the others…'

Just when Rio was still contemplating in his mind, another voice rang out in his mind.

'Oi, hurry up, man, get ready! Lia will be here at any time! She's definitely going to be worried sick after you went missing for three days!'
