"Have you two decided?" Magus Rosia asked, her gaze on her late husband's two juniors. "Are you going back to Earth or are you going to stay?"
The rules set for a lower realm acolyte like Emery and Julian were quite straightforward. Return to the planet they originated until reaching the magus realm, or stay and give services to either the Magus Alliance or certain approved factions.
The latter option, however, required one to withhold their rights as a native of their home planet.
Emery actually never thought about not going home. However, he couldn't help but falter at this moment. Even now, the thoughts of his friends whose whereabouts and circumstances were unknown filled his entire mind. There was also his dear master, who was still missing.
