"Ummm… Adam… who is Evelyn?" Layla asked as she slightly tilted her head in confusion.
"Layla. It's not a good prank," I spoke as I looked at Layla, wondering if this was so sort of joke they were playing on . But Layla looked at with even more confusion before speaking,
"Prank? Adam… is everything fine? You are behaving really strangely."
My eyes widened as I turned around and concentrated outside…
[One Way Out!]
[Frenzy!]
And I ran outside towards Evelyn's ho to confirm sothing.
I ran with all my might, I changed directions, took many lefts and many more rights…
I must reach there. I must find out what is going on… I must run…
And after running for around a minute…
"Huh?" I questioned.
"What was I running again for?"
I felt like I was forgetting sothing important. Sothing that I needed to do.
"Just what exactly is going on… what exactly…" It felt like a sting in my heart as I tried to recall more… It felt within my reach but it was still too far.
"Hey. Adam! What are you doing here?" I suddenly heard a call from behind, only to find Oriel standing behind . His eyes looked a bit shabby but more importantly…
"What the heck?!!" I was surprised with the big scar on his face. It looked fresh as if his entire face had been slashed by sothing.
"Ah! This… I have been hearing about it from so many people," he laughed a sheepish laugh making look at him with surprise," So? What happened?"
"Nothing much. I just ended up falling on my own sword. Must have been too dizzy last night… I don't even rember half the things. Woke up about an hour ago with all this shit on ," he said with a tired face as he complained to .
"Is that even possible?" I chuckled as I moved towards him before speaking," Hey, rember yesterday when you said how you would teach so light spells if I could show at least basic mana control?"
"Yeah. What about it?" He asked as he looked at , making smile cheekily as I created a light ball in front of with ease. His eyes widened as he looked at that ball with pure surprise.
"You didn't make a deal with a devil, you bastard?" He exclaid at that mana ball before looking at . He analyzed before asking," since you can do this much this fast… how about we twitch things up a little. Though firstly I apologize…"
Confused, I looked at him as he began explaining.
"Yesterday when I saw you with no mana control, I didn't have any hopes from you. But being a senior adventurer I just gave you the basic things, heck I even told you to read from a basic book and forgot about it," He bowed in front of before getting up and smiling,
"But it seems like you have sothing special. And with that in mind, I am planning to give you a chance that I normally don't give."
"??" I was getting confused as I looked at him before he finished explaining,
"Normally I would teach a bunch of spells and move on with my work. But if you can do two things for , one is to reach a higher level of mana control. About 3 tis higher than this, I will teach you a set of special skills. The other thing you need to do for is to help out with a quest, if you do happen to succeed in it, I will teach you another spell that is kind of unique to ."
I looked at him with a slightly surprised expression and he added," consider this an apology for looking down on you. Also… with your feats… I feel like you are going to be very special in the future… so it's also more of an investnt from my side."
Looking at him saying all those words, I smirked," so many words. You are making cringe."
"All right then. I will get back to work. You can find the books to Advanced Mana Control within the guild building. It costs about 5 gold coins so save up so amount and even if you can't reach that point, et in a week. I will at least help you out a little," he spoke as he moved away from there at a rapid speed.
'Nice guy, huh? Not sothing you find everyday,' I smiled before wondering what I should do next. Should I go on an adventure…
"Though.. What am I doing here?" I questioned again as I thought again. I rember waking up in the morning and finishing up the book before moving out. Then I talked with Layla a little… What did I talk to Layla about?
"Hmmm… I talked about sothing and ran here… Hmmm… I don't think my mory is that weak… plus…" My eyes turned serious as I saw my [One Way Out!] and [Frenzy!] on cooldown right now.
"[Frenzy] might be understandable but [One Way Out]? Unless it's my life on the line or the enemy is too strong, I doubt I will be using this," I mumbled as I stood there amidst the crowd, before looking around the area.
'Should I call Alepsia and try talking with her about it?' I pondered before deciding not to do that. My relationship with Alepsia was more like a business deal than a friendly one. Even if she knows sothing, I can't be sure that she will be telling everything.
"Well. My intuition says that I will surely find sothing. And even if I don't… It's not like I can't repeat the entire thing again. Not much loss," I weighed the pros and cons in a flash before.

My eyes opened as I woke up again… and then when I tried recalling what happened… a certain na reappeared in my mind that made gulp in shock.
"Evelyn…"
