After their chat from the night before, Camelia went back to her usual cold and arrogant self. She didn't go looking for Fade much anymore.
Just like that, he stayed in the Green Wood Hall for a month. In his time there, he managed to get a much clearer picture of the environment of the place, and also the general cultivation techniques.
Finally, on the day of his departure, Janus called Fade to his room.
"One month has passed, so you should be eager to go back! "
Fade smiled and cupped his hands towards Janus. “I'm very grateful for your support."
"Okay, I won't waste any more of your time then. Take this. It represents your identity, and it's also how we'll be able to reach you. I've imprinted my aura inside. Thus, if there are any missions, I'll communicate them to you through this." As he spoke, Janus passed a dark green token to Fade.
Fade took the token and saw the words "Special Envoy" printed on the front. The top part of it was a picture of a huge green tree. It must be the logo of Green Wood Hall.
As for the inside, he didn't think it would be appropriate to check it now in front of Janus.
Seeing Fade put away the token, Janus looked at him and continued, "Before you leave, I have a mission for you!"
"What mission is it?" Fade looked at him curiously.
"Well, honestly, it's more like a reminder than a mission."
"A reminder?" Fade was even more confused.
Janus didn't waste any more time talking. He waved his hand and a symbol appeared in front of Fade.
Looking at the two blades that were crisscrossed in the air and the sign of blood dripping from them, Fade asked, "This is..."
"This is an organization called Double Blades.
Double Blades is the enemy of Prohibition Island. Many people from this organization have killed our people."
"In the past century, they haven't really appeared much anymore. Hence, there aren't many of us who have died by their hands recently. Regardless, they are very dangerous. As Green Wood Hall's special envoy, you are one of us now. There is a chance you might run into them. Therefore, I'm just warning you to keep an eye out."
"If you get the chance to find out more about them, or even take some of them out, that would be great. That is the mission I am entrusting to you."
"Of course, the most important thing is still your own safety. Don't take unnecessary risks. Do you understand?"
Fade imprinted the Double Blades organization's logo and Janus' words into his heart. He nodded and reassured him, "I'll keep it in mind."
"Okay, you can leave now!" Janus waved his hand.
"Thank you, I'll be on my way then." Fade stood up and cupped his hands in farewell.
Then, he went back to his room. He briefly packed his belongings and set off to leave the island.
When Fade arrived at the pier, he was surprised to see that Bolton, Saimus, and a few other students who had joined the inner island with him were waiting for him at the pier.
After exchanging a few words with them, Fade waved goodbye and left the island by boat.
The ship docked at the dock on the outer island, and he set off.
When the Chung family learned that Fade had returned, Saxen personally led a team to welcome him. He warmly invited Fade to rest for the night at the Chung family home.
