"But according to the system, aren't I already involved in this cause and effect?"
Ian suddenly thought of the inexplicable prompt he got in between when he hadn't even opened anything.
[You chose to involve yourself in this cause and effect.]
So, did that an he was already involved in this ss just by grabbing this ring in his hand?
Ian didn't doubt the system's ssage, as the wizard's thods were indeed incredible. Even if he did throw away these things, he might still get involved in the future.
And today's decision might lead to even more complications.
"Sigh... What a letdown!"
Ian sighed heavily, having a headache.
The only reason why he didn't care about the warning from the system before was that he thought he could gain sothing much more aweso than Dornar's wealth.
But now, the only consolation he got was the Addon challenge reward he received from the system.
At least that was sothing.
Oh, and there was also the Arcane Grotto and a few possible resources left behind by Dornar, which he had yet to receive.
'But that is my reward for killing that guy,' he thought shalessly.
'Hope Ignysyl didn't use all those Spirit Crystals. Otherwise, I will really have to cry.'
Ian finally decided not to throw away the black ring and to keep these items with him for now. He would see what to do after arriving at the Calvora Continent.
"But no matter what, at least I got this nice robe."
Once decided, he wasn't one to cry needlessly.
So, Ian quickly tried to lift his mood by taking out the gorgeous wizard robe given by Dornar from the mana ring he had snatched.
[Enchanted Robe (Interdiate Artifact): A magically enchanted robe that can clean itself and protect the wearer from basic spells.]
"Nice!"
He didn't waste ti and directly wore the Enchanted Robe while throwing away the outerwear soaked with Lyra's juices, although he did clean them roughly before.
"Damn! Finally, I look like a wizard."
Ian couldn't help but comnt with a smile while looking at the water mirror in front of him, which he conjured with a wave of his hand.
Unless it was a complete spell, you didn't need to chant to use basic magic.
Those flowing long blue robes, with intricate golden linings shimring with ethereal light, looked particularly good on his handso, tall visage.
"Unfortunately, Dornar was gaslighting with his robes. Otherwise, that robe was even better."
Ian twitched the corner of his mouth when he thought about how, with Dornar's disappearance, his robe also disappeared inside the Arcane Grotto.
That robe wasn't real at all.
In fact, how could a spirit wear a material robe? He had been hoping for nothing. Even that ring had been floating around.
'I guess it's ti to practice now.'
After admiring his figure in the wizard robe shalessly, Ian finally beca serious and properly sat down on the raised platform in the middle.
'I now have lots of inheritances with , but they will co in handy only after I reach the Calvora Continent. For now, let's reach the Third-Class Wizard Apprentice level in these seven days.'
His thoughts aligned with Carl's in the sense that both wanted to increase their level before leaving.
In fact, Ian even wanted to beco a First-Ring Wizard directly if possible. After all, he did have ascension material with him.
But haste makes waste, so it was better to plan slowly than to rush headlong.
...
While Ian decided to properly ditate in the central room, Lyra arrived outside, intending to choose a room for herself.
She was now almost at the Second-Class Apprentice level, so she was quite anxious to start practicing imdiately.
However, just when she was trying to choose one of the rooms, she saw Aurora's figure coming from afar, clearly from outside the hall.
And Aurora also saw Lyra in front, looking at her with interest, causing her face to turn redder with shyness.
Weirdly, the roles seed to have reversed here.
Shouldn't Lyra be the shy one, since she was the one moaning so loudly just before?
"Didn't I say to practice in one of the rooms? Why did you go outside? As Ian said, there is no need to search for an inheritance now since it is too dangerous."
Once Aurora ca near her, Lyra spoke in a soft voice, as if genuinely concerned for her.
From the calmness she showed, it truly didn't seem like she was the one doing that inside just now.
"Hm? But... I didn't go to search for inheritances."
Aurora replied subconsciously to Lyra's seemingly concerned words, full of confusion.
'Do you want to stay and listen to your exciting sounds?'
She thought speechlessly. Wasn't the reason she had to leave because of them?
Although she thought so, she didn't say it aloud.
She was too shy, and the redness from that experience still hadn't left her cheeks.
"Hm? Then why didn't you enter the room? What were you doing outside?"
However, Lyra was relentless, completely acting oblivious as if she had no idea that her moaning had been heard outside.
Her expression suggested that she was genuinely curious about where Aurora had gone.
"You..."
Aurora was speechless at her questioning, making her face even redder.

Then she doubted whether Lyra truly didn't realize that her sounds had been heard from outside. If that was the case, then it made sense for her to ask this.
Poor Aurora—she didn't know Lyra was clearly pulling her leg.
"Umm... I just took a walk around to take a look."
She didn't know what to say, so she simply replied with what she thought seed appropriate.
'Tch... this dense girl.'
Lyra rolled her eyes after seeing Aurora clearly getting confused.
Now, she didn't know why she even got jealous of this little girl. It seed she could handle her quite easily.
So, she imdiately lost interest in teasing her any further and turned around to choose a room closer to Ian's.
"Okay then, don't just wander outside alone. Ian is practicing now and has no spare ti to save you if you are in danger. Don't take others' pity for granted."
However, she didn't mind sending poisonous words to this girl before entering the room though.
