After walking for a few minutes, the three arrived at the room in a small tower.
"These rooms are prototypes created after the main rooms that are in the Spiritual Tower, in the center of the academy. Unfortunately, I can't grant you a room there. Still, this one is good enough for you to train and learn more about the Magic Artifact." Robert said and looked at them.
Then, it dawned on him that there were two of them.
"This... Is it okay for the two of you to be in the same room? It's a big room and has other small rooms inside where you can sleep... I can't grant more than one room at a time; isn't that a problem?" He asked with doubt and some embarrassment.
He hadn't realized that even though he knew they were two.
Matt and Alice nodded reassuringly at him. "It's all right, Professor Robert. One room is enough." They both replied practically at the same time, which made Robert convince himself that it was fine.
"If so, then all the better." Subsequently, he handed them a few things and explained several main topics they needed to know to adjust to the Academy and the classes.
He also told them that tomorrow there would be the first class in the morning hours, which was not too important, but they should attend for sure, as several main topics were going to be explained and after that, he left, leaving both of them alone.
Then, both entered the room. They looked around and investigated some things, and Matt ensured he was not being monitored. After that, they decided to talk.
All this time, Alice was amazed at the nice room they had been given and kept wondering why they had been given them. So, when she had the chance to ask, she didn't miss it.
"Matt, I mean, it's a little strange. We were handed such a nice room just like that out of the blue, don't you think it's strange? This is too good a treatment. Even if we have a high match, it shouldn't be like this," she said.
"One is that they are trying to keep us locked up to get information out of us later. But they don't have any information on the Magical Artifacts we have, so they shouldn't get too much information from us because of the names."
"The other reason... It's because of something that happened a while ago. Alice, I'll ask you a question, when we were under that Spirit, what did you feel when its ability activated?"
"Not much; my mind and eyes went blank as I felt the heat around my body like something was trying to figure out who I was. I think it was kind of dangerous, considering we're in disguise."
"Yes, that was felt by you, and I think most. But I saw something different. For a moment, I was teleported to the Spirit World, and there I saw that Spirit. I even talked to her a little bit and said a few words to her, for it seemed that the old woman was using her to her advantage.
The third reason is that I think the Spirit did something; as Robert said, she gave them the order to treat us in the best possible way."
After saying this, Alice quickly approached him. "What? Did you get to go to that Spirit World? What's that place like? What are spirits really?" he asked, in shock.
She didn't doubt what he said; instead, she was very curious to know what kind of place the Spirit World was.
"Hmm, it's a world with a sun. From what I saw, it's very nice; it's no different from this one with the difference of the sun and that everything feels purer there."
"A sun? Like the one we saw in the Capital City?"
"No, this is a real sun, I think. And the spirits actually seem to be a union of races. I think they're human, or at least that's what the woman I met there told me."
After saying that, Matt talked more to Alice about the world he had seen, as she seemed very interested. Subsequently, they started talking about more important topics.
