Adrian stopped on Von's command. He felt stronger and the Phantom Flow was no longer just movements but a living force.
"Your mana isn't infinite. Even though you can continue, save your strength for now."
"Thank you, Master Von," Adrian said with a slight bow.

Adrian left the dojo, the night air cool against his sweat-dampened skin as he headed back to the dorms.
On entering into his room, he noticed that Karl was absent, but didn't dwell on it and quickly went on to refresh.

Closing his eyes, he muttered, "Visit System Factory," and the world dissolved.
