Chapter 253: A very interesting spirit



"Should you have more eyes?" Matt had never heard of a Spirit World like this, and although there were many mythologies regarding this on Earth, he had no idea how things worked in this Spirit World, so his doubt was normal.

She nodded.

"Naturally, I am a Spirit of Destiny, one of the highest levels in the World. The eyes are a representation of how much power I have to see destiny. No wonder in the Human World, they use me to see idiocy every time. That crazy old woman tricked me."

Matt chuckled a little after seeing her act like that. "Do you have a habit of talking and mumbling things you didn't mean to talk about? It's unusual for a spirit who can see the destiny."

She then realized that had happened to her again, but she shrugged it off this time. She was talking to a human; what did it matter?

"Hmph, there's nothing unusual about it. We, the Spirits of Destiny, usually spend our whole lives in solitude, studying and trying to understand destiny. That's why we usually talk to ourselves, so we don't get bored." She replied, smiling slightly.

Matt looked at her in surprise. "Hm, I heard in the human world that that was associated with a disease..." He said as he looked sideways at this strange woman.

She was surprised and looked at him, even moving a little closer. "Really? Is it dangerous? Could I die? No, wait. I'm a spirit; I won't die so easily..." As usual, her last words were mumbling, making Matt start laughing out loud.

"Hahahahahaha..."

It was then that she realized that this human was playing with her, teasing her. That made her angry, but it was not noticeable in an obvious way. The aura around her changed from one moment to the next, and the wind began to turn the other way.

"Go back to your World. Being here will kill you; your body can't last too long without its spirit." She said and closed her eyes once more.

Matt noticed the change in the atmosphere, so he stopped teasing her. Somehow, in this place, he felt freedom for many things that felt unnatural. Maybe that was why he has been several times more relaxed than usual since he arrived.

Her words caused the spirit to open her right eye to look at Matt slightly. 'Does he have such a high compatibility with Magical Artifacts and summoning? He even seems to have special blood to be able to come here without prior permission.' Though in shock, the spirit spoke before that woman became impatient.

"Why should I give you something like that?"

The teacher was a bit surprised but nodded. "We could reach the highest instances of the Spirit Academy. With the 8 eyes and an additional artifact, you could have..."

"Quiet. Do you think I'm an idiot?" The beautiful spirit woman turned around abruptly after hearing her say that, startling the teacher.

"I recently realized that my spirit in your hands is useless. Only four eyes. Are you an idiot? Although you have managed to fool me very well, do you think you could do it forever?" Showing anger, the atmosphere in this place changed again, and the gentle winds suddenly turned into mighty gales, which frightened the teacher for a brief moment.

'How the hell did she find out!?'

Even so, after taking a few steps back, the teacher pulled herself together after remembering that she couldn't hurt her in this place. Thus, she smiled.

"Shit, so what if you found out? Nothing can change the facts. Maybe you're just not that compatible with me and that's why we didn't get more out of it, but then again, once you're linked to me, you have nothing else to do. We are one of the few Spirit-Humans who can talk to each other, so we have a deeper connection than most. If you don't help me discover their secrets, you will also be harmed.

So I don't think you have any choice." She spoke, almost laughing out loud, with a mocking tone.

If they were bound, it meant that this powerful spirit had to do anything to help her get stronger. The compatibility thing was a joke. The point was that this teacher was incapable of bringing out her full potential, and she herself knew it. Still, she wouldn't acknowledge it.

She would rather mock such a powerful spirit to her face than acknowledge that she was unqualified.

Thus, her words brimmed with mockery, angering the spirit.
