The four of them stopped paying attention to Ciera.

Even though it was a bit surprising to see the other party here and found out that she has practiced as a demonic magician, they have no interest to interact with the other party.

"Hey, Mel, does City A Base allow the existence of demonic magicians?" Sophia suddenly asked something.

If she was not wrong, one of the reasons why Victoria was kicked out of City A Base before was because she was a demonic magician, right?

To be honest, with the way Victoria attacked them at that time, it would not be surprising for her to be kicked out.

"Huh?" Amelia's brain was slow for a moment and then she nodded. "Yeah, demonic magicians are not allowed to stay in City A Base. They have to move to City J Base."

"So…" Ruby glanced at the back.

It seemed that Ciera never said that she was a demonic magician. But if they were to report this matter, it meant that Ciera would never be able to stay in City A Base.

After all, the demonic magician's method to get stronger might injure other people and most people couldn't accept it.

"Then I'll report it." Amelia smiled brightly.

Riya looked at her best friend who was prepared to go back and made a small report to her father and silently turned to look at her other two friends. They were looking at the sky and ground instead of looking at her, which looked rather amusing.

"You two are really." Riya shook her head in amusement.

"If she's not here, she won't be able to come and trouble you again." Ruby spread her hand with a smile. "It's her own fault for breaking the law knowingly."

The fact that City A Base didn't accept the demonic magician has been basically written in the law. Since Ciera dared to practice and become a demonic magician despite knowing that, she had to be prepared to leave City A Base.

For this matter, they would not show any mercy.

"You're right~." Sophia chuckled.

Seeing her friends like this, Riya smiled warmly.

It was really a good thing for her to be able to meet with these people. Even if they could be quite annoying at times, but she knew that they were all trustworthy people.

…

The four of them went their separate ways. Amelia wanted to see her father and made a small report along with her practice arrangement. Ruby wanted to go back to the lab after Riya handed over the paper drawing that she made while they were waiting for their food before. Sophia herself wanted to go out of the base and hunted a few magic beasts with her brother.

Her next magic beast can wait until later.

Riya herself made her way back to the Jones Family Residence. It seemed that she had gotten used to stay here, which made her wonder if she overstayed as a guest. After all, it would be impolite for her to stay in other people's house without paying any rent.

'Hmm?'

Sensing the familiar presence when she stepped on the living room, Riya looked at Samuel who was sitting leisurely on the sofa.

"Don't you need to train, Samuel?" Riya asked curiously.

After she advanced to rank 7, Riya had heard that there was a training craze for a period of time. Many people wanted to advance to rank 7 like her and chose to train as much as possible so that they would be able to advance to rank 7.

Unfortunately, it was not that easy.

And their enthusiasm disappeared after a few days because it was really tiring to train all day long. Moreover, their wallet definitely couldn't withstand their destructive training without caring about money.

In such a situation, it was only the returnees who were able to enter the state of rapid training like that.

Samuel was no exception.

Unfortunately, he was too busy with his work in City A Base.

"I've reached the peak of rank 6," Samuel said lightly as he looked at Riya and stood up from the sofa.

Riya stopped on her steps. The expression on Samuel's face was hard to read, but she guessed that he should have something that he wanted to tell her.

And for the returnees, reaching the peak of rank 6 was not that hard.

What they needed the most was resources and time.

Afterwards, they had to collect everything they needed to prepare for their advancement ceremony. Every profession required different thing and Riya herself didn't know what Samuel needed.

"Do I have something you need for the advancement ceremony?" Riya asked carefully. She was browsing through her memory as she looked at Samuel. Their height difference made her have to raise her head slightly to look in at his face.

There were many things that she had brought out from the crack, but Riya didn't think that Samuel would need anything that was ordinary.

So minerals?

Or it was the materials from the rank 7 magic beast that she has inside her world?

While Riya used up almost everything she has for her own advancement ceremony, she still has some left. The blood was used to make formation plate and the remaining were the bones or the meat that she didn't really need but it would be a waste to recycle them directly into mana.

After all, it was difficult for her to get such material.

"Well… I need your formation and your presence to protect me thorough the advancement ceremony," Samuel said slowly, his expression was gentle.

Riya was stunned and her pupil widened, expressing her disbelief.

"You… do you know what you're doing?"

"I know. I trust you."

"No.. I mean… you… There's only one person who could accompany in the advancement ceremony at such a close distance and that…" Riya felt that her language ability has deteriorated, making her stutter.

"And I want to choose you," Samuel said firmly. He looked at Riya in the eyes and asked, "Will you give me that chance?"
