Because it’s fun

With the [Map] function in every status window, travelling was far easier as they 'unlocked' areas that helped them in remembering the areas they had once been to. Hence travelling hadn't been that difficult of a job having explored the area once.

But, in Edwin's case, having never been outside of the academy since his arrival, everything felt new, but the game he played was virtually real, hence he remembered most of the locations of Miorus, as such, he knew where he had to go first.

Outside the gates, to his right hand side was a stable that rented and sold horses, that was the first location he had in mind upon reaching the outside world!

Walking towards the stable with Dex and Fleta, he spoke to the stable master, planning to buy three horses, "Eh? Why? I can just run?" Fleta said, confused as to why they needed horses, couldn't they just run?

"Fl-Fleta, you can run for kilometres without getting tired?" Dec asked.
