Anthony tore his gaze away, not bothering to focus too much on the Core Elder, or he might be accused of staring lustfully or something like that. As his attention focused back on the distance beyond the horizon, he heard ten pairs of footsteps approaching from behind him.
Anthony, who had been leaning forward on the deck, rose upright as he turned, his eyes landing on Tory Hale and the other disciples who were walking towards him.
As they arrived, Tory Hale was the first to speak as a smile graced his lips.
"Anthony, it's been a while. I guess you've been good," his words were calm and smooth.
Anthony smiled at Tory as he spoke, "It seems you've gotten stronger once again. Your Law comprehension skills are simply too great."
