Lori, Julia and Professor Nina went silent for a few seconds after hearing him. They then looked at each other, before turning to Luke and spoke at the same time, "We'll follow you no matter what decision you make."
Luke had expected this, but he still felt good to hear it, but didn't show it on his face as he nodded, "Good. Let's eat now. Then, I'll go out after a while to find Alice, Shadow and others."
"Okay." The ladies didn't ask him to take them with him, because they knew he would refuse since they would be a burden if they encountered any powerful beast.
After Luke finished eating, he fell into deep thoughts.
Right now, the most important thing he had to do was to increase his strength. If it was before he met Levin, he would've chosen to evolve to the First Order since he was already level 11, but now he knew doing so wasn't a safe option.
