With the days going smoothly, Matt had to go back to class. He had already explained everything correctly to Alice, and they both learned all the inscriptions with relative ease. He also explained to her how she should correctly use the magical artifact.
He also found that his ability to control it had advanced amazingly. He felt closer and closer to achieving what he had achieved in the past. But increasing his power a bit recently brought him a slight setback in trying to control it, which showed the difficulty of this.
Still, they returned to class and told Professor Robert they had learned everything. When Robert learned that, he was stunned. Their mental capacity was too incredible for him to keep up with them.
He kept wondering why the Great Summoner had not decided to teach them herself. At this point, he was sure that only she could make the most of these two's impressive talents.
'I suppose she will have her decisions. But with everything the Zen student has done so far, shouldn't he have passed the test? Though I suppose the spiritual invocation is lacking...' Robert thought.
And even though he had things to teach them, he felt that each of those things was becoming invalidated and useless, for they didn't need it.
Teaching them to summon was the only thing missing from his knowledge to teach them. That was why today he focused on that.
It was also the day when several people were beginning to pass the spirit tests, so he had to divide his attention to teach them all according to his knowledge. He was a good teacher.
He thought deeply as he watched Matt and Alice create the inscription he had taught them a few days before.
They were both geniuses. Once they mastered the art of creating the inscription, it was simple—it took them both less than 15 minutes.
"For the first time, you still do it faster than me. So that's amazing, both seem to be able to use mana very well, even when both do it with a magic artifact." Robert said.
"You must keep in mind that this inscription that you have just created is the one that will allow you to enter that place. The place will be dark, and you will not see anything. Even so, that place is our connection to the spiritual world, so you must try to keep your mind calm and in harmony.
The moment you know the compatibility you have and the type of Order, come back, and we will move on to the next phase of the invocation."
Therefore, he ran to that mountain and climbed it.
The whole time, he did not encounter any spirits.
This was lonely in many ways. He only looked at small passive animals, fish in the water, or birds occasionally flying around the place.
Matt might think he was in a place desolate of animal or human life if it weren't for that.
Still, once he reached the top, the loneliness changed slightly when a voice entered his ears.
"Ahh... That idiot summoner of mine. How could I, a Spirit of Destiny, let myself be fooled so easily?"
The voice revealed the location, so Matt went there and found the beautiful Destiny Spirit sitting on the side of the mountain, throwing stones into the river with an annoyed appearance.
"Ahhh, what a nuisance. I'm irritated by that woman. Should I cut the contract? Sigh, if I cut it, I think that woman might be out on the street. Her sister is more irritating than her..."
"And that other woman, too; why is everyone so annoying!"
"Oh, right. There was that guy who came here. He wasn't that annoying; he even seemed nice. I wonder why he just wandered in like nothing in this place."
Matt came up behind her and sat beside her at that moment. "Right, I wonder the same thing; why was I able to walk in here like it was nothing? Don't you think it's strange, Lady who likes to talk to herself?" Matt said, smiling at her.
She nodded several times. "Right, right, don't you? It's weird..." She said, but suddenly turned her head, realizing that there shouldn't be anything here.
Then Matt's face came into her view, and she let out a scream. "AHH!"
"You... You... You... You... What are you doing here?" she stammered a bit because she was so scared to see the guy who had been passing through her mind just a brief moment ago materialize.
