A final lesson outside the gate of the first floor base was scheduled to help the Valyrians digest the new skills and spells they have just learned from reading all those books. Reading books from Tartarus is not very hard and does it take long, one only has to understand the first few letters or up to the first page, for the book to disintegrate and imprint itself in the memory of the user.

The lesson was not as intense as it usually was, but instead it was 1 on 1 where each youngster gets to practice one skill with a member of Debauchery, Yunan finished first because he had more passive skills than active ones, a choice applauded by Debauchery who were extremely happy the 4 years they spent with this kid were not wasted.

Drogon returned around the time Debauchery were about to have the last dinner as students and teachers, although Yunan said that he and Debauchery were contracted for 5 years, Leader just gave him a "shut up, i know my contracts" look. After that Yunan stayed quiet, and instead looked through the items Drogon brought back with it. There were a few books that were written in dragon tongue, something that Drogon did not learn because there were no other dragons known to the world. Thankfully, according to Balin, there was at least one book about language and all Drogon had to do was open all the books until he finds it, that was the way Tartarus worked, a dragon that does not know dragon language will get it as the first drop.

While Drogon was sifting through the books it got and started learning them, the Valyrians were now pestering Yunan about how come Drogon can now use a storage ring and read books, Yunan showed them the status of Drogon and highlighted the part of it having 5000 wisdom, using a storage ring with that much wisdom should be easier than with 50 wisdom.

After dinner, Debauchery and their students assembled for the first time with such a status, and Leader declared that the students were finally free to do as they wish and are no longer bound to Debauchery. Afterwards came the hardest part for the meeting on Yunan.

"I will wait for you on the twentieth floor" Yunan looked at the fidgeting friends he had spent 4 years with, they should have known better than to stutter at a moment like this. "I know that you each have an organisation that were waiting for your training to end, there is no need to feel embarrassed or guilty, this is how life works so just be straight forward like always, just make sure you never forget about me that is all".

"Of course we'll never forget about you" said Reina sentimentally "we will meet again and have fun together like always, i'll even hop in bath and let you oggle me all you want, next time we meet" she gave Yunan a big hug and let him go with a tearful smile. Leol only shook hands with Yunan saying " if you ever get bored before the twentieth floor, come find us, it'll be easier to find us than to find you".

Lili was the most sentimental at the that moment, something Yunan did not expect from her, she was already crying as she hugged him " i promise i will meet you in the twentieth floor, you have to be strong and capable next time we meet, and if you ever need anything come find me, i will never forget you or what you did for me". She said between sobs and hiccups.

Yunan was affected by the emotional Lili and had tears streaming down his face, he could not find the words to console her and said after some silence "stay pure, i want to have the exclusive right to corrupt you, even your dad has to take second place for that", that made her laugh and feel much better. Moments later the three paid their respects to Debauchery and returned to the base to meet up with their respective guides or teams that their organisation had waiting for them.

After the three left, leader hugged Yunan to her chest and told him " I still own you for a year, you can't leave yet, i still want to play with you". The rest of Debauchery came by and comforted the young man with comments like "It was never meant to be", "they did not deserve you" ,"let aunty comfort you too". The standard way Debauchery did everything basically.

Once the tears were dry and the atmosphere was much better, Leader made a pledge for Yunan "every time you reach a new base we will give you two weeks of training in the exclusive skills we promised to teach you in return for letting us stay besides the spirit heart, don't think we taught you everything, we could not teach something like that to all of you, and thankfully we did not, it would have been okay if they stayed with you, but it was not meant to be, hence you are to send a message through the guild every time you reach a new base. There are bases in every fifth floor up to the 60th floor, so if you play your cards right there are at least 7 bases to look forward to, however since we own you for a year, every tenth floor will net you 2 extra weeks of training."

"Of course we can just drop by whenever we miss you and come for you to cuddle up, other than that, if we meet by luck we can give you a lesson or two" said Fae who have suddenly changed all her views on the cute Reina to Yunan, Bai however was a bit regretful about having to leave his first student behind alone so he took out his pocket watch and passed it to Yunan "We trained you to be independent and be able to survive on your own, I hope that this can lead you to safety, hopefully the next time you build a party they will stick with you longer".

Afterwards Debauchery turned their backs to Yunan and headed away from the base on their way down Tartarus, however before they disappeared from his vision he heard something beside his ear "don't die on us, kiddo, we have great expectations for you".
