…

"Mhmm… Mhmmm…" Aurora was humming cheerfully while walking down the hallway. After returning to the duchy, she could finally feel safe. Due to the previous ambush, Aurora had been asking around for the identity of the attackers. Unfortunately, she couldn't find much information.

"Oh, Aurora?!" Christina was carrying a few documents with her while leaving her room.

"Master! Are you working?" Aurora asked.

"Yeah. I have to fill out a few documents for your teacher and want to ask for your teacher's permission for a few things. Well, it's kind of an agreement," Christina nodded. "Do you want to tag along?"

"Sure. Jayden was training his body while the twins had their own world, so I'm not that busy right now," Aurora agreed without hesitation.

"Then, let's go," Christina led her to the garden at the back of her mansion.

The garden occupied a lot of land in the duchy, not because it was filled with flowers or other luxurious decorations, but because the duchy used it as her training space.

However, when they were about to reach the garden, Aurora and Christina suddenly felt something. Christina furrowed her eyebrows while Aurora dropped to her knees. It took her an instant to get overwhelmed by the feeling alone.

What they sensed was killing intent and an even purer intent. The killing intent gave Christina a shiver while Aurora could imagine herself being chopped multiple times. In just a second, it felt like she had died ten times.

Christina hurriedly covered Aurora, protecting her from this malicious intent. At the same time, Christina gulped down, realizing the other intent.

This intent created an oppressive pressure. It was like she met a God. Other than kneeling before it, there was nothing she could do.

'What is this? There is only one person in the garden. Is he the one truly emitting this kind of aura?' Sweat covered all of her body, not because she was tired, but because of fear. This was the first time she had experienced something like this.

"Aurora, is he really your teacher?" Christina asked.

Aurora, who managed to catch her breath after Christina protected her, calmed down and said with a hoarse voice, "Yes. Is this truly Teacher doing? If I'm not wrong, Haruka… I mean, my classmate told me that Teacher once drove away a strong opponent with his killing intent alone."

"Seriously? The killing intent alone is already beyond my measurement. How many has he killed? Thousands… tens of thousands? No, it's even higher. A few hundred thousand if not in the millions…" Christina bit her lips.

"What do you mean? Teacher is known to be useless in his own world. And it doesn't seem like he is a criminal… So, how can he kill that many?"

"It doesn't necessarily need to be people, you know. Monsters or anything else can be included too. If I'm not wrong, he is an illusion master, right? Does that mean he can create an illusion of him dying?"

"Ah!" Aurora looked down for a moment. "I have died multiple times during the trial."

"Then, that's surely the case. He has killed himself more than a million times… And surprisingly, he hasn't gone insane yet. In fact, he can actually control his killing intent perfectly…" Christina took a deep breath. "As your master, I don't want you to learn from him since he is dangerous. But as someone from the royal family, I would definitely ask him to teach you. And from the looks of it, he has treated you and your classmates pretty well."

"Yes. Teacher has done a lot for us, and we can improve drastically in a short amount of time. I don't think he is dangerous… at least, not on the surface," Aurora explained.

"I see. Well, he has that other aura as well. I don't know… it's like a ruler or something. If he wants me to sit, I would probably do it unless I try to resist that aura. That oppressive aura is the one making you kneel while the killing intent is the one causing you to feel suffocated."

"So, that's how it is…" Aurora bit her lips. It seemed that her classmates had underestimated Theo. She couldn't help but wonder the reason why Theo revealed this power here.

It appeared that the enemy had pressured him enough for him to stop holding back. If that was the case, she might be able to see something even more shocking than what had been described by her classmates.

"In any case, continue to learn under him. It's a rare opportunity," Christina nodded. She calmed herself first before stepping forward. "Anyway, we have to go."

Christina moved forward carefully, fending herself from Theo's aura. But it seemed that the other party had noticed her and began retracting his aura.

They could see Theo sitting in the middle of the field. No one was around, so they didn't become a victim of his aura.

Theo gradually opened his eyes and said with a solemn tone, "Apologies. I was a bit too excited that I didn't notice both of you right away."

"There's no need to worry. I gave you permission to use the entire garden after all," Christina waved her hand, treating it as not a big deal.

"So, may I know why you visit me this early in the morning?" Theo asked while standing up.

"I want to propose an agreement. To be honest, we've been skeptical of giving away an altar to outsiders, considering it might bring any impact to this world or even other worlds."

"And what conditions do I need to satisfy to be able to make a contract with the spirits?"

"Before that, what do you know about spirits?"

"Aurora had told me about the basics, including the four categories," Theo replied.

"In that case, all I need to say is that… the spirits are extremely unique. They have a unique power that can change the world. For example, do you remember the wire guy? His wires can be changed to at least a few forms like slashing to binding, depending on how he wants it."

"Indeed. I notice the change in the amount of essence he pours into the wires."

"Still, you shouldn't tell anyone about your spirit's abilities, since your enemies will use it against you."

"Of course." Theo asked, "But is there any instance where people from another realm bring back a spirit?"

"Yes. There are already several, and we've been observing them closely."

"The agreement?"

"Yes. There are three conditions that you need to fulfill. First, you will have to report to us about your experience with the spirits. As I said earlier, it's a foreign power, so we need to monitor your condition in case the spirit is actually rejecting your power."

"That's simple. But spare me from writing a few pages of reports."

"It's fine. Since you're with Aurora most of the time, you can just tell her about the feeling in your body… if there is any change in your essence, and so on. She will be the one taking care of the rest."

"Not a problem."

"Then, the second condition is to not use it against the people of this realm unless it's for self-defense."

"Aurora had agreed with the penalty when convincing me to visit this world. So, I don't think I will visit this world anytime soon."

"That's a relief then. People would be angry if they are aware that outsiders are using our own power against us." Christina nodded before continuing, "Then, the last one is to conceal the ability as much as possible. Even if you're planning to use it, try it in a way that won't be traced back to us. Of course, if it's not possible, then it's fine. But try to reduce it as much as possible."

"Of course. I understand that you don't want the information to be spread since it will bring more and more people to come to this world and demand to have a spirit even though the requirement is harsh."

"Yes. Thank you for your understanding."

"Is there any chance to know which spirit I will get?" Theo asked.

"No. I'll guide you to the altar and activate it. You just have to sense the spirit along with a few chants to call for them. The spirits will judge you and check the compatibility. Once it matches, they will usually give you a different feeling."

"It's pretty simple."

"Indeed. Though, I hope that you can share everything you feel during the process. We would like to gather as much data as possible."

"I don't mind. I want to see if my experience is different or not too. I hope that you can also tell me about it, so as to avoid unnecessary problems." Theo agreed without hesitation.

"Definitely. I have the written agreement here, which will require your signature." Christina smiled while extending her hand. "Let's head to the altar and do the formal stuff there."
