Russell was in great pain.
His teacher's personality, really unpredictable.
Initially, he always thought Gilbert was a bit extreme due to past experiences, but how could an extreme person come up with making apprentices copy life mottos as a form of punishment!
But this also made him a sigh of relief internally.
Even if Gilbert intends to take risks after he becomes an official mage, it seems he has a firm grasp on how to overcome the hurdles.
How should I put it... if before it was certain death, now, according to Russell's own judgment, even if the adventure fails, it wouldn't pose a life-threatening risk.
This is good, at least after entering Sia Tower, he and Carpenter have someone to rely on.
If you say before, Russell thought becoming just an official mage was enough, after entering the Tower of Dark Enigma and especially seeing West's performance, the young boy really understood the mage world was far more harsh than he imagined.
