"None of you are exceptions."
"Once the territory has more intermediate water mages, I'll consider reorganizing you."
Upon hearing Zong Shen's words, Molly and Hayes frowned slightly, and their smiles vanished.
It's unprecedented for a prestigious Tier Four mage to follow the orders of a Tier Three mage.
Ultimately, however, they nodded and said nothing further.
Zong Shen watched Milani lead them back to the ranks, his expression unchanged.
Just two Tier Four mages were not enough to make him change principles.
Although Molly and Hayes are higher tier, they're newcomers, and Zong Shen would never easily grant them authority.
He wasn't interested in catering to the loyalty of these newcomers like offering tribute to a Bodhisattva.

Zong Shen wouldn't engage in mistreatment, but he wouldn't deliberately please them either; everything would proceed normally.
