Chapter 617: Chapter 617 - Kindergarten Encounters
Broken logged into Immortal Legacy and found himself in his study. He skimmed through several documents detailing the progress of the city's development, which was now entering its next stages.
It all seemed to be going well, and today he had an important meeting scheduled his second commission for crafting a new item.
Descending to the main floor, Broken entered the living room, where his attention was drawn to a woman with long, jet-black hair. She wore a casual dress in shades of black and purple. Upon seeing him, she immediately stood up, smiled warmly, and waved.
"Good morning, Broken," greeted Starfalln/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
"Hi," Broken replied. "I believe I promised to start work on your commission today."
Starfall nodded eagerly. "Yes, I've been looking forward to this day! I even had to reschedule some interviews to be here."
Broken furrowed his brows. "Did I summon you at a bad time?"
"No, no, no!" Starfall quickly responded, shaking her head. "I apologize if my words caused any misunderstanding. This isn't your fault at all—everything is perfectly fine."
"And..." Starfall continued, "I have a small gift for you. I've entrusted it to Freya, but I'd like you to confirm it directly with her."
"A gift?"
"Yes, please confirm the gift with Freya.
"Okay, thank you," Broken replied. "Shall we continue our discussion in my workshop?"
"Yes, of course," Starfall said with a nod and followed him.
Once inside the blacksmith workshop, Starfall carefully took out a blueprint and placed it on the table alongside an assortment of materials.
"I'd be more than happy to provide you with additional materials if you ever decide to craft something to help you learn magic."
Broken had considered delving into magic but had deliberately postponed it, waiting for a more opportune time. With Goldrich, Elincia, and now Starfall in his guild, he realized he had access to a wealth of knowledge about becoming a proficient mage, should he decide to pursue it.
"I appreciate the offer," he replied, "but I don't think I need it right now."
He shifted his attention to the blueprint Starfall had provided. He was impressed. After working on Livelywood's sword and now seeing Starfall's project, he admired the precision and suitability of the blueprints for their respective classes and skills.
"You have access to many elements, don't you, Starfall?"
"Yes," she replied, a slight smile playing on her lips. "I'm an Elemental Mage. I can wield multiple elements simultaneously, though I'm still limited when it comes to advanced elements."
"That versatility must be incredibly valuable in combat. This blueprint reflects that perfectly. It's almost like an extension of your abilities."
"It is, but I still have a long way to go before I can master the advanced combinations. That's why this weapon will be a crucial part of my growth."
"We've arrived," Melliandra announced as the car came to a stop in front of a kindergarten
school.
Leon turned to his companions. "Who am I supposed to meet? I don't recall having any
kindergartners in the guild."
Freya chuckled softly, raising her fists in encouragement. "You can do it, Leon."
Ronald, grinning widely, joined in. "Go, go, go, Master!"
Melliandra added, "Just don't take too long, alright? I don't have all day to keep you
company."
Leon stepped out of the car, his footsteps deliberate as he made his way toward the
kindergarten gate.
The lively scene before him was one of joy and chaos-children laughing and running past, holding hands with their parents.
His gaze swept over the crowd, yet no face struck a chord of recognition. He lingered for a moment, watching the children's carefree smiles, and felt a pang of nostalgia.
I don't even remember my parents picking me up from school.
I don't even have their pictures...
Lost in his thoughts, Leon stood still, his reverie interrupted by the sudden approach of a
man. The man was taller than him. In his arms, he carried a young girl who clung to him with
wide, curious eyes.
Leon instinctively raised his gaze to meet the man's. Their eyes locked for a moment before
the man offered a warm smile.
"Good afternoon, Guild Master," the man said.
