Going Down the Mountain
After Yinuo and Melody talked to the townspeople, they returned to the College promptly. They had no more reason to stay there for long, after all.
With their speed, they managed to reach "home" in just a few minutes. Without much trouble, Melody went to her hangar and docked her Sylveria back into its frame support before cutting off the power.
As soon as they got down, Yinuo turned to Melody and raised a finger. With a stern voice, she commanded her, "Sleep well tonight; we have an early departure tomorrow."
"Got it, Master!"
Melody was tired too, so although she still wanted to stay with Yinuo for a bit longer, she decided to simply look forward to tomorrow.
Right now, Melody has reached the third stage after taking advantage of the Qi whirlpool that was caused by Yinuo earlier. With this much power, she should be able to easily identify even the invisible attacks from the dragon-shaped Echo.
