The battle in the Ocean Plane had been resolved.
Charles did not hurry back to Isata.
Instead, like Aiden, he remained stationed in the Ocean Plane for about a month. Only after confirming that there would be no mishaps did he leave the plane.
When he left the plane, his teacher Anderson left as well.
He had obtained the most important fourth-rank core and gained the right to certification. Next, he needed to run about for the application.
Charles could not help much with that.
He returned to his tower and continued training students while managing his territory in the Osela Plane.
Although the students Charles modified were all Flame Demons, and the witchcraft he taught them was mostly elven witchcraft.
Beyond that, some also studied Blood Ring Knights and techniques such as permanently inscribing runes onto equipment.
As for teaching, Charles was no longer teaching alone.
He hired several second-ring wizards from among Anderson's students.

They could handle ordinary lessons, while only important questions and explanations were left to Charles.

But that would not work for Charles. They were going to war, and if their training was too slow, the losses would be even greater.
Charles had already trained this batch of students for two years, and he still had to continue.
