…

"As for how you form a contract with the spirit…" Aurora took a deep breath before revealing the method. "…you have to call for them. There is a kind of ritual, but it involves blood and vows, so I'm not sure if it can work or not."

"I see. Blood and vows." Theo looked down. "What kind of relationship do people have with spirits?"

"They are a kind of family."

"So, the blood is like sharing a bond, and the vows are the rules."

"I don't really like that statement, but yes."

Theo looked down, falling into deep thought. "I see."

While he was thinking, he couldn't help but glance at the comments, causing him to realize something was off.

He ended up stating, "Alright. To be honest, I'm a bit curious about it. If I can learn something new, then I will do it."

"I don't know whether it's fine to teach the outsider about it or not. However, you can easily find the details in a book or something. Well, it's not at the level of common knowledge, but it's already widely spread. Still, I think I have to ask my parents about it."

"As you said, I can learn it easily if I put my heart into it. It's just… whether it's legal or not would be questionable. I don't like trouble, so I'll wait until the mission is over." Theo explained.

"Thank you for your understanding, Teacher. I've told you everything I want you to know about my uncle. Please forget about my request earlier." Aurora politely bowed her head, but it seemed that she was doing it just to hide her disappointment.

When he saw Aurora leaving, he couldn't help but say, "I will warn you about something. Before you're worrying about your uncle, I think you should care about your own life first."

"Hmm? What do you mean, Teacher?" Aurora was perplexed. Considering their teacher was here, there should be no problem. So, something unexpected would happen to the point where their teacher couldn't do anything about it.

Still, she was confident that Theo was capable of saving them if they stayed with him.

'Stay with him?' Aurora widened her eyes in shock before leaving the room hurriedly. "Wait a minute, Teacher!"

"This is going to be troublesome." Theo let out a long sigh. Before he did anything, he looked at the comments again.

"Hello. I think you misunderstand my stagnation. My desire to learn has never extinguished. It's just when I reached the peak of my original world, I didn't know where I should proceed. That was why I started growing horizontally instead of vertically.

"By mastering other things that are completely unknown to my original world, I can get stronger. But as I said, the growth is horizontal, not vertical. I believe this is why you believe that I've stopped growing.

"In fact, I'm a bit scared when you ask the author to give me back the motivation and thirst I once had when I never lost it. He might use that as an excuse to nerf me, and I can't do anything about it.

"Besides, I'm not that strong either. If it were a frontal battle, I would have lost against Lancelot's grandfather. The strength of the illusion lies in its uniqueness, so once people study it, it'll gradually lose its advantage.

"Still, I haven't fully assimilated with my Demon, which should be the horizontal growth that you're looking for. But I haven't pursued that assimilation fully due to me being a teacher and the fact that I'm not in the Demon Realm where resources are abundant.

"You can consider me a level 1 character with maxed abilities to put it simply. But I guess I'll have to step up my game."

Theo paused for a moment before replying to the second comment. "Thank you for the information. I understand why there are not many readers, and I can't blame both the readers and the author. You want to read, but can't. The author wants you to read, but he has to earn a living. Let me think about it later."

Theo finally rose from his seat and scratched the back of his head. "Here we go again. It's going to be troublesome from now on."

It looked like he was reluctant, but because the situation forced him, he had to leave the room to regroup with his students.

Meanwhile, Aurora had reached the room where the twins stayed. When she knocked on the door, she didn't get any response.

"Luca, Lucas! Are you inside?" Aurora frowned. She wanted to use Lumina, but this world didn't have the satellite for it to function. Just like the Sword and Magic Realm, there was a way to send a long-distance message, but she had just returned to this world and hadn't retrieved those things.

In other words, she couldn't contact Luca and Lucas or confirm their presence inside.

She then moved toward the room next to it and banged on the door, calling, "Jayden. Are you inside?!"

There wasn't any response from the inside. She had talked to them not long ago, and the two didn't seem to be discussing their plan for exploring the flying ship.

Hence, they should be in their room, but they didn't receive any responses.

All of a sudden, footsteps echoed across the hallway, alarming her. She turned around while circulating her essence, getting ready for everything.

"Your Highness? What's wrong?"

"Hmm? Ansthor?" Aurora was surprised to see Ansthor here, considering she dismissed him earlier. But since she was acting like that earlier, it wouldn't be strange for Ansthor to check on her. She let out a sigh while pointing at the door. "Teacher Theo asked me to call them to meet him. But it seems that they've gone to explore the ship."

"I see. In that case, I can help you call for them through the broadcast system."

Instead of replying to him, Aurora's expression turned grim as she sighed. It seemed that everything was going according to Theo's prediction.

"Stand right there, Ansthor. This is an order from the second princess of the Helvenia Kingdom!" Aurora raised her voice, glaring at Ansthor.

"What do you mean, Your Highness?" Ansthor looked oblivious and confused.

Aurora raised both hands, forming a bow and an arrow with her essence.

"Your Highness?" Ansthor panicked, not knowing what Aurora wanted to do.

"The fact that you appear here means that you've been monitoring me even though I've dismissed you. As Teacher said, someone like me wouldn't be permitted to go somewhere without being guarded, but the fact that you allow it has shown something. And that's not all…"

"Your Highness, I don't know what you're talking about." Ansthor frowned and started approaching Aurora.

"The fact that you've been watching me means that you've monitored my friends as well. Yet, you suggested the broadcast system instead of telling me where my friends are… I am… disappointed." Aurora gritted her teeth. She raised the arrow and struck it to the door.

After training with Theo, she managed to form a few different arrows, including this arrow, which turned out to be an explosive arrow.

Boom!

A small explosion caused a commotion inside the ship, but more importantly, it actually blasted the door away, revealing Jayden sleeping inside. Despite all the commotion, there was no sign of him waking up.

It was clear that he had been put to sleep by some means.

"!!!" Ansthor widened his eyes in surprise and hurriedly leaped toward her to stop whatever she was planning to do.

But that was when Theo appeared.

"That's enough." Theo kicked Ansthor from behind to make him stumble. However, his foot actually went through Ansthor as the kicked area turned black before beginning to spin like a whirlpool. "Hmm?!"

Without hesitation, he pulled out his foot and muttered, "So, this is the spirit, huh…"

Even though Theo's kick didn't manage to cause Ansthor to stumble, it was enough to stop him.

Ansthor suddenly waved both hands, causing Theo's instinct to kick in. The latter ducked as a few black strings appeared from behind. They looked sharp enough to cut his body into pieces, but Theo remained calm and asked, "So, what are we going to do, Aurora?"

"I don't have time to explain it, but we should leave this ship right away!" Aurora glanced inside the room, giving Theo's two pieces of information.

Theo decided to play along and kicked the door that led to the twins. After seeing the twins sleeping, Theo entered the room and grabbed both of them with his essence.

"You—" Ansthor tried to catch Aurora instead of Theo since she was weaker.

Unfortunately for him, Theo had clapped his hands as illusions started to envelop the entire area.

"Eh?!" Ansthor felt something trip his feet, causing him to stumble. "I'm a shadow… No, illusion?"

Ansthor realized it too late. Since Theo's kick was ineffective earlier, any physical objects should trip him. In other words, it was just an illusion, causing his body to fall.

However, by that time, Aurora had reached Jayden.

One of the messages Aurora gave Theo was the fact that the rest of the students were inside the room.

And the other one was that the path to leave the ship was also inside the room.

Without hesitation, Aurora struck the window with her explosive arrow while Theo kicked the wall, creating two holes in the ship. Through the opening, they jumped off the ship.

Though, unlike Aurora, Theo took this matter a bit lightly while saying, "See you, blackie."

Ansthor was too late to react as both of them had jumped off the ship.
