Chapter 976: Chapter 334: Is My ntor This Prestigious?

Christina woke up from a swiftly fading nightmare once again, sowhat hesitant to open her eyes.

Because she was a bit afraid that the mont she did, she might see so horrifying things that she shouldn’t…

Although she was ntally prepared, knowing that the atmosphere in the Spirit Summoning Tower was bound to be ghostly—this was just too ghostly!

[Such a coward.]

The mocking voice of the little girl, carrying the sound of the wind and echo, resonated faintly in her heart:

[To be scared by such a thing…]

Clearly the voice of a little girl, yet her tone was as mature as that of an adult.

“—What do you an by ‘such a thing’? If an ordinary person saw this, at least eight or nine out of ten would be frightened!”

Christina retorted in her mind.

After getting familiar with Alice, she wasn’t so afraid of her anymore.

[So, you think you are an ordinary person?]

Alice’s laughter chid like bells: [Do you… want to be an ordinary person?]

For a mont, Christina fell silent.

I don’t.

She said to herself in her mind.

Then, with the ntal preparation of “opening her eyes to ghosts”, she suddenly opened her eyes—

To Christina’s surprise, she saw the girl-styled room decor.

The grape-purple sheer drapes in the corners of the room blocked the light, and many curving green vines adorned the curtains. Nurous silver wind chis hung from the ceiling. She was lying on a soft bed, not on a horrifying, blood-and-grease sared dissection table she expected. A huge brown bear stuffed toy, almost as tall as herself, lay on top of her, which might have been the cause of her suffocating nightmares.

Suddenly, Christina felt lighter on top, suddenly able to breathe more easily—the stuffed bear was lifted away by soone.

“She’s awake.”

Aurora’s chilly, emotionless voice slowly filled the air.

The person who took the toy bear was her—from her pajamas and the color of the room curtains, this was perhaps her bedroom. By the sa token, the person who previously covered her with the toy bear might also have been her…

Aurora was the student ntor assigned by the Spirit Summoning Tower, Christina rembered this very cute yet icy-cold girl. Supposedly, she was a genius of the Fourth Level… and she even looked younger than Christina herself, which made Christina envious yet respectful.

Christina had only been at the Spirit Summoning Tower for just over a day and hadn’t slept well last night.

In theory, with Eilie inside her for protection, she shouldn’t be so scared. But not long after she arrived, several little-girl-looking spirits floated over, pulled Eilie out of her body to play. Eilie, after all, was just a little girl less than half the size of an adult, rarely encountering her own kind… Even though she was an evil spirit of the Fifth Power Level, she was still taken out by other spirits to play and didn’t return until dawn.

—So irresponsible!

Christina grumbled resentfully in her heart.

Eilie humd guiltily, not daring to respond further.

And ever since her Spiritual Body was jolted out, Christina had acquired complete spirit vision—she could easily see spirits occasionally passing through walls and curiously glancing at her, making her feel as if she was being watched all the ti.

Christina was still not used to living with spirits.

If she could consider these spirits as so object of objective existence, like the free-roaming ‘seniors’ in other schools, and not as untouchable, terrifying Spiritual Bodies, she wouldn’t be so scared. She might even be able to chat and play with these friendly spirits. But clearly she couldn’t… because when she saw these spirits approaching, she felt her hair stand on end and her heart pound, followed by a scream.

Yet at the sa ti, she couldn’t completely regard them as sothing illusory, so she always felt as if she was being spied on, that “soone” could burst into her dorm at any mont… and at these tis, they seed like real beings in her heart.

Feeling their existence, yet feeling their non-existence. Fearing them as ghosts, yet fearing them as people.

This made Christina feel creepy all night… luckily being frightened to the point of fainting also ant she could use the opportunity to catch up on sleep.

She didn’t know how long she had slept, but she was already hungry.

However…

As Christina watched Aurora effortlessly carry away the huge bear doll, she felt sowhat bewildered for a mont. She always felt as if there was so kind of dissonance…

“—Hello.”

At that mont, a steady young male voice sounded. Upon hearing that voice, Christina knew it was the very standard “good kid”, “excellent student” tone… you could tell at once that he must be very smart.

This was also the last voice she heard before she fainted.

However, the one who made the sound was no longer a head with eyes wide open in death, but rather a handso young man clad in dark-colored Mage robes, his deanor calm and composed. He perfectly fit Christina’s image of a “handso Necromancer”—handso yet with a sort of asexual charm, his rightly placed dark circles and pale complexion had a smoky, dark beauty to them…

Even dark circles suit you so well, are you a genius?

Christina inwardly sighed.

Because this ti she was ntally prepared—and spurred on by Eilie’s goading, Christina wasn’t so frightened.
