�This is the place where I had to go through my grandfather�s training from hell as well as where I became a sword master and the gatekeeper for Wind Island!�

�Haaaaa.�

Mage Glenn Poeff sighed and shook his head. However, Bud was serious.

�This is the place that has my blood, sweat, and tears! This is the training ground for the gatekeepers! Sob, you don�t know how many times I ate dirt here in the name of training, sob!�

Bud Illis was sobbing, but none of them gave a second glance as they walked into the training ground.

�Cheer up! What a sad story!�

Only the red kitten Hong who was the last to enter patted Bud with his front paw.

�Sob. Hong!�

Bud tried to hug Hong, but the kitten easily moved away from the alcoholic. However, the kitten had to stop.

�I will do it alone.�

It was because of Eruhaben�s comment.

Cale had the ancient artifact in his hand as he observed the Dragon who was saying that he would do it alone. Eruhaben calmly responded to that gaze.

�I wish to do it alone. I would prefer if everybody waited outside.�

He then reached his hand out toward Cale. He was telling Cale to hand him the jar.

�No! Goldie gramps, I will be right next to you!�

Raon argued back as if his being there was obvious. The others showed their agreement with Raon. Eruhaben added one more sentence at that moment.

�I am a great and mighty Dragon.�

He was someone who gave off a strong aura even when he was just standing there.

�I do not wish to show my healing process to others.�

There was someone who was the first to be pushed back after hearing the words coming out of the pale but firmly standing ancient Dragon.

�I pray that the ancient artifact is effective.�

It was Ron Molan.

The old man understood the ancient Dragon�s sentiments.

Nobody knew how he would look as the healing happened. He might flail in pain or struggle a lot. Ron understood better than anybody else why the ancient Dragon would not want others to see that. JrNovels.com
