Custard was unhappy to hear everyone speaking ill of his mentor.

He stepped forward and said, “Stop making wild guesses.

Philip is my mentor and teacher.

There’s no point in saying anything else.” Everyone was stunned to hear that.

With that confirmation, it meant that Philip was much better than that level-five alchemist.

Chaplin scowled darkly, surprised to hear that Custard was Philip’s apprentice.

He was furious when he realized that Philip did not say a word when he invited Custard to become his apprentice.
