Back at the cave, the group waits to see if the volcano erupts. The patriarch says that he thinks the protagonist will use it as a training ground. He tells the others to stay calm and to trust the protagonist, who is still inside the cave. The protagonist says that his martial energy has doubled in the last few days, and that the volcano is a great place for training. He says that the two of them have signed a pact, which has restored most of his strength. The boss says that they need to form a new pact, but the protagonist says they can't because he has his skills. The day to the final of the academies competition is near, and the protagonist tells the gang to beware of what they eat out in the forest. He wants to continue training in the sky city. The principal and the others have left a week before, and they told him to pass this letter to the protagonist.
