443,

Living for over a month, Cyclone enjoyed each day to the fullest. Compared to the heroic days spent in Allen City, there was no need to show off, no reason to be admired by the masses. Here, nobody knew who Cyclone was. Here, there were only a few women accompanying him. Here, Cyclone lived a fulfilling life. However, this kind of life only lasted for a little over a month.

As night fell again, Cyclone and Yuna arrived at their master's house. It should have been another ordinary day, but from the moment the master's door opened, the world began to move forward slowly. The master wasn't sitting leisurely as usual, but rather busily packing up, giving off the vibe of preparing for a long journey.

"Master?"

"Oh, young man, you're here."

Upon Cyclone's arrival, the master put down the boxes in his hands.

"What's this?"

Facing Cyclone's question, the master, with hands on his hips, calmly replied, "We're moving."

"What? Moving to where?"

"Huh? The master won't tell you that."

"What!"

Faced with the master's playful attitude, Cyclone felt angry.

"Well, we're not leaving today, why the long face?"

No one knew that over this month, a special kind of bond had developed between Cyclone and the master. An emotion Cyclone had never experienced in his life, something that wives couldn't provide, nor could his mother – paternal love. Growing up without a father, raised solely by his mother, Cyclone never knew what the bond between a father and a son felt like. However, during the days at Kakarl studying medicine, the master had always guided him and stood by him, offering advice. Even in just a little over a month, it was an experience Cyclone had never had before. Unconsciously, he had developed a feeling towards the master, akin to that of a father and son – respect, love, though not real paternal love, it was very close. Perhaps even Cyclone himself didn't realize this.

"When, when are you leaving?"

"Tomorrow."

Light on his feet, humming a tune, the master excitedly picked up another box.

"Still so sudden!!!" Different from the master's ease, Cyclone's shout expressed his worry.

"What's wrong with you? Are you going to miss me?"

In the past, these words might've only been said by Cyclone to someone else, just as it was when he was the master. But now, being on the receiving end, there was an unease.

"It's, it's not that..."

"Oh, really?"

In Yuna's eyes, the master truly lived up to being Cyclone's master, treating one with the same measure as the other, as fortunes changed.

"If you'll miss me, just say it, maybe I'll stay a day or two longer for you. Hehe."

Faced with the master's smirk, Cyclone responded sharply.

"Tch!"

The smile on the master's face showed no intention of fading away in response to Cyclone's attitude.

"Roll out, quickly!"

In an instant, Cyclone replied as usual.

And in the next instant, the master revealed a smile of ambiguous significance.

"Yes, that's right, that's how talents grow."

Cyclone and the master, one person and one wizard, had many things to say, but in the end, many things remained unspoken.

"You are capable now, you no longer need a master."

Suddenly, changing his joking tone, the master comforted Cyclone.

Most people may take one or two years to learn, but you are different...

Looking at Cyclone, despite being right in front of him, the master kept his words hidden.

Learning medicine is just a process, but you don't need that, your thoughts, your beliefs, your life itself will guide you to the path of saving lives.

"Why wouldn't I need a master, there are still many things I need you to teach me!"

It's a gift, Cyclone Theodore, in just one month, you have memorized the condensed medical knowledge I gave you.

"Well, as long as you persist, slowly, bit by bit,"

The master raised a finger, emphasizing his point.

"You will become a decent doctor~ haha~"

"Tch!!"

Study diligently~ even if you are alone, you can continue to progress...

The master lightly jumped onto a wooden box.

After standing at the same height as Cyclone, he stared directly into Cyclone's eyes.

"In order to facilitate your faster growth from now on, you must..."

The master brought his eyes up close to Cyclone's, staring at him with an unyielding gaze.

"See patients alone~"
