Once the spaceship landed, Ashtel left right away, saying that Raji was urging him on the phone to hurry up and come over.
Due to the disaster, too much work had already piled up, and delaying it wasn't possible anymore, so Ashtel had to leave first.
Before leaving, he didn't forget to motivate the group, though, and told them all to continue training and improving themselves.
For awakeners, stagnancy is sin; the moment you stop walking on your 'path' and stop working hard for your goals, your progress becomes stagnant, and you might lose the chance of ever reaching them.
Thus, after bidding Ashtel farewell, Link and Riya boarded their car and left to train.
They both knew that once Ashtel and Raji were done with paperwork and other formalities, it would be time for Riya to start wandering across the nation for healing miasmic corruption; there wasn't much time left to prepare.
Watching Link and Riya leave in a hurry, Rio and Lia also had no choice but to head back too.
