Taking advantage of this month's day off, Ang left the academy and prepared to visit that master magical craftsman. Ever since returning from his study tour, he had spent nearly all his time in the laboratory and library, rarely having a chance to go out for a walk. Today, as he left the academy and walked through Akreli's bustling streets, watching the crowds stream by and vendors call out their wares, Ang could not help but feel cheerful.
Looking at the sights around him, he could not help thinking of Blue Star, which had similarly lively crowds and prosperous cities. For a moment, he was filled with emotion, and Ang suddenly found himself missing the outside world. Fortunately, the master magical craftsman's location was not far from the Imperial Magic Academy, so Ang could take his time and enjoy the rare street scenery.

He had just put a freshly cooked bite into his mouth when someone lightly patted his shoulder. Turning around, Ang saw Gao An and Angeli, along with several other familiar friends.
"You guys!" Ang greeted everyone with a smile.
"Want some?" He smiled as he raised the food in his hand, an easygoing look of happiness on his face. They all shook their heads, clearly declining.
"Haha, I knew it." Ang laughed heartily.
"What are you all doing out here?" Ang asked casually
