They both returned to the room shortly after that. Because Alice wanted to learn some inscriptions that Alessa was passing on to her, she went into her room.
Just as she closed the door to the room, a bang was heard as Alessa slammed into it.
"Hey, what are you doing? You learn your stuff; I'm going to go talk to Matt!" replied Alessa as she groaned.
But Alice just smiled coldly and threw a small dagger towards her, which sped past her and stuck in the door.
Alessa was startled by it and glared at her fiercely. But Alice smiled back at her.
"You have a lot of strange plans; I can't let you go with Matt when I'm not there. So help me learn these inscriptions, and then we can go." Somehow, even though Alessa saw Alice as just another 'little human', the evil smile on her face made her fear.
Although she had many complaints, she didn't retort anything and simply sat beside her. "Hmph, I've never heard that summoners could be so hateful," she replied angrily. Stay connected via m-v l|e-NovelFire
Alice smiled and shook her head. 'I don't know why I would feel jealous of a girl, but somehow, I feel like this girl has really weird plans.' She thought but gave up thinking about it.
Just as she was planning to ask Alessa about the inscriptions, she noticed that Alessa had turned her head towards the other room.
"They're talking about something very serious, Alice." The expression on Alessa's face changed at that moment and became one of seriousness.
Although Alice was planning to scold her, she frowned when she saw that expression. 'Something very serious?" she thought.
"Alice, if you want to know what kind of spirit I am and my power, how about we go talk to Matt? He's talking to his spirit right now, asking him a couple of things." Alessa looked at her and tossed that carrot in front of Alice.
'I don't know if she's being sly or just telling me the truth...' Alice frowned and stared at her. 'But naturally I'm interested to know what kind of spirit she is. It's no good not knowing the spirit I signed a contract with, after all... Besides, I'm sure Matt would also want to know what kind of spirit she is.' Alice sighed and stood up.
"Well, come on then." She spoke.
Then, an essence manifested in front of him. It had no form, but it surrounded the room of darkness.
Matt felt 'someone' looking at him in that Essence, but he couldn't find eyes anywhere.
-I'm not a spirit, so I won't give you the abilities of only one type of fighter. Don't you understand what it means to be an Essence?
Matt frowned.
"An Essence... There are several things I can associate with that name." He replied, not giving a clear answer.
-Yes, I suppose there are a few things you can associate that name with. But I'm not just any Essence. My name is 'The Spirit Essence'. I don't have a body; I'm not a spirit. But at the same time, I can have spiritual abilities. Before I answer who I am, I would like to ask you, are you aware of what a Progenitor of a race is?
The Essence's voice was still strange, like when he first heard it. Somehow, he felt that he couldn't hear anything, but at the same time, he could understand everything it said.
But Matt frowned at its question. "According to the literal meaning of the word, a Progenitor of a race is the one who originated it or the one who gives birth to that race, even from where it is not possible. Perhaps someone with abilities capable of creating more beings of said race." After saying this, Matt frowned.
"Are you the progenitor of spirits?" he asked.
"If you want, I can answer that question." They were suddenly interrupted as the door to Matt's room opened.
Matt turned his gaze to look, but before he could speak, the scent did.
-Alessa.
Its almost imperceptible voice made Alice's body shudder. Every muscle in her body trembled slightly, for this was no ordinary voice. 'What is that?' She looked at the Essence in front of her in shock.
Alessa smiled at it.
"Long time no see, Spirit Essence. When I saw you inside my future husband, I thought that finally born the most perfect being to marry me." She replied.
