Everybody else was doing stuff, but, Riccardo was pretty happy with how strong his adventures as a Natrelmon Tamer had made him and his companions, and went home to his small hamlet. Considering that he no longer had any divine boogaloo, nor had he told anyone where he hailed from, the chances of a blood mage showing up and killing him specifically instead of any other trainer, were low.
At least I hope so. :/
