'So soon?'
The golden trophy "telephone" began to vibrate wildly almost as soon as the intelligence upload was complete.
He activated it.
Wei'en quickly pressed the gemstone button on the "telephone."
A jet of spectral blue flame erupted from the top of the golden trophy, and then a familiar figure appeared within the fire.
She still wore the same black, hooded robe, its collar pulled low to reveal a wide expanse of her fair chest.
Wei'en respectfully performed a Wizard's salute. "Respected Liaison Officer, good evening!"
Compared to their last "meeting," he seemed far more composed this time.
'She's only a Senior Wizard Apprentice, after all. Could she really kill me from so far away?'
'Besides, I've already been promoted to Intermediate Wizard Apprentice. Both my Spirit and resilience levels have more than doubled...'
