Moon returned to the sanctuary alongside Yara, though they weren't together. Yara was at the Rocketer base where she would remain for her own training and advancement, whilst Moon was at a different base.
Although they were no longer together, Moon felt confident about Yara's safety. The people in the base all knew she was part of his group, which meant they wouldn't dare risk harming someone under his protection. As for the local beast threats, her new equipment purchases had elevated her capabilities enough to handle the strongest A-Rank creatures effectively.
S-rank beasts remained beyond her current abilities, but that was completely understandable given that she hadn't yet met her evolution requirements. She was making steady progress at an appropriate pace.
As Moon exited the portal into this new base, he was immediately approached by a group of guards led by an imposing figure.
