Chapter 146
As dawn broke the next day, the trainees began to chop trees for their homes, just as Yan had mentioned before. For the average villager, chopping a single giant tree would take half a day, but for these mana-trained trainees, it was as easy as eating cold porridge.
Thud! Thwack!
Crack!
In just an hour, the forest that had been dense with trees began to transform into a plain. Among the trainees, Roman was chopping trees at the fastest pace.
Thud! Thwack!
Each time Roman swung his mana-infused axe, trees fell powerless before him. After hours of logging, Roman wiped the sweat from his brow and surveyed the area. The other trainees were also working hard, beads of sweat dotting their foreheads.
It was then that Roman’s gaze halted on a figure atop a hill—a beautiful young boy deep in thought. It was Kasa Ifrain. Roman tilted his head and walked towards him. Kasa, however, did not react, even as Roman approached.
Roman looked down at him and asked, “What are you doing here?”
Startled, Kasa finally looked up at Roman.
Roman frowned at him, “Don’t you see the others working? If you don’t want to sleep on the ground, you should work hard too.”
“Ah... Sorry,” Kasa’s voice was tinged with melancholy, a sight Roman had never seen before.
