"By the way, there is one thing that I am confused about," Gravis said.
"Yes?" Joyce asked.
"You saw that I had had a Will-Aura in the Body Tempering Realm, so why did you help me? You should've known about the Heaven Sect's ways," Gravis asked.
Joyce sighed. "Well, to be honest, I never expected you to pay me back."
Gravis lifted an eyebrow. "You didn't?"
Joyce shook her head. "I was sure that the Heaven Sect would kill you. The only reason I helped you was that I felt bad for you. Such a fate seemed too tragic in my eyes. But hey, good thing it didn't come true!"
Gravis smiled. "It sure is. So, anyway, the whole resource war thing is a no-go?" he asked.
Joyce showed an uncomfortable look. "Well, not completely."
"How come? Your teacher said that you never intended to partake in the war this year," Gravis asked.
"It's not that I decided against it, but that my father and teacher decided against it," Joyce explained. "My will is already very powerful, and the resource war has a 90% death-rate. They said that the risk is too high for me. If I had a weaker Will-Aura, they would've let me go, but my will is already powerful enough. Only a little bit more, and my will would be powerful enough to ascend. They said that I don't need to go through such a risky adventure. Safety is more important."
Gravis lifted a brow. "Depends on what your goal is."
