After walking for a few minutes, the three arrived at the room in a small tower.
"These rooms are prototypes created after the main rooms that are in the Spiritual Tower, in the center of the academy. Unfortunately, I can't grant you a room there. Still, this one is good enough for you to train and learn more about the Magic Artifact." Robert said and looked at them.
Then, it dawned on him that there were two of them.
"This… Is it okay for the two of you to be in the sa room? It's a big room and has other small rooms inside where you can sleep... I can't grant more than one room at a ti; isn't that a problem?" He asked with doubt and so embarrassnt.
He hadn't realized that even though he knew they were two.
Matt and Alice nodded reassuringly at him. "It's all right, Professor Robert. One room is enough." They both replied practically at the sa ti, which made Robert convince himself that it was fine.
"If so, then all the better." Subsequently, he handed them a few things and explained several main topics they needed to know to adjust to the Academy and the classes.
He also told them that tomorrow there would be the first class in the morning hours, which was not too important, but they should attend for sure, as several main topics were going to be explained and after that, he left, leaving both of them alone.
Then, both entered the room. They looked around and investigated so things, and Matt ensured he was not being monitored. After that, they decided to talk.
All this ti, Alice was amazed at the nice room they had been given and kept wondering why they had been given them. So, when she had the chance to ask, she didn't miss it.
"Matt, I an, it's a little strange. We were handed such a nice room just like that out of the blue, don't you think it's strange? This is too good a treatnt. Even if we have a high match, it shouldn't be like this," she said.
Matt smiled, "I see three possible reasons. One of them is bad, and the others are good for us. Since I've been here, I've noticed that most teachers seem to be good people. They don't seem to harbor too many ulterior motives, and it seems that most of them work together for the betternt of the Academy.
Only that old woman who tested us by fate—I saw her differently." Matt replied and planned to continue, but Alice spoke first.
"Oh, right. That crazy old woman gave you a murderous look as we were leaving, Matt. Did you notice? I was about to rip her head off because I thought she was going to attack you. It was weird."
Matt looked at her in surprise. "I didn't expect you to have noticed…"
"But yeah, I think she might try to kill us," he replied, and Alice nodded.
She didn't doubt this or question it. She had felt that too, and if that old woman had dared to attack, there would be so headless bodies in the academy by now.
Still, since she confird that Matt knew, she returned to the main topic.
"Going back to the previous topic, do you think the way the teachers are is beneficial for us?"
Matt nodded. "Yes, seeing how they are, I think they are kind people and just want to strengthen the academy by all ans. Maybe it's because they're in contact with the spirits that they beca that way. They're too kind and don't have their guard up at all, at least the ones I saw."
Alice nodded slightly, and her eyes twinkled. "I see... If they're so kind, they're vulnerable to being controlled like tools. We could take advantage of that by demonstrating our talents and we would control them in so way or another without them noticing." Alice felt like she'd had an epiphany, but every word she said shocked Matt.
He turned to look at her in surprise. 'She wasn't like that before... Actually, the experiences and finally getting such a good ability have visibly changed her. Before she wanted to protect everyone and cared about kind people, but now she thinks about controlling them. Hahaha, she's not wrong, though. If they are like that, it would be very easy to control them.'
"And what are the other reasons you can think of?" Alice asked again.
"One is that they are trying to keep us locked up to get information out of us later. But they don't have any information on the Magical Artifacts we have, so they shouldn't get too much information from us because of the nas."
"The other reason... It's because of sothing that happened a while ago. Alice, I'll ask you a question, when we were under that Spirit, what did you feel when its ability activated?"
"Not much; my mind and eyes went blank as I felt the heat around my body like sothing was trying to figure out who I was. I think it was kind of dangerous, considering we're in disguise."
"Yes, that was felt by you, and I think most. But I saw sothing different. For a mont, I was teleported to the Spirit World, and there I saw that Spirit. I even talked to her a little bit and said a few words to her, for it seed that the old woman was using her to her advantage.
The third reason is that I think the Spirit did sothing; as Robert said, she gave them the order to treat us in the best possible way."
After saying this, Alice quickly approached him. "What? Did you get to go to that Spirit World? What's that place like? What are spirits really?" he asked, in shock.
She didn't doubt what he said; instead, she was very curious to know what kind of place the Spirit World was.
"Hmm, it's a world with a sun. From what I saw, it's very nice; it's no different from this one with the difference of the sun and that everything feels purer there."
"A sun? Like the one we saw in the Capital City?"
"No, this is a real sun, I think. And the spirits actually seem to be a union of races. I think they're human, or at least that's what the woman I t there told ."
After saying that, Matt talked more to Alice about the world he had seen, as she seed very interested. Subsequently, they started talking about more important topics.
