When Mia returned to the Academy, she immediately sought Matt.
"I'm back. Let's hurry the creation of that artifact, Student Zen." She said. She found him at the place where they were making the artifact.
Matt nodded to her. "Look at this. You haven't lasted long outside, but I think I've come up with something pretty cool these days." He said and passed her some stuff he had managed to research.
Mia Holmer read it and frowned. "This is pretty amazing, Zen. If it can be done, it would improve creation by a good percentage. How did you come up with it?" she asked in shock, and Matt shrugged.
"Well, thinking is one of the things I'm best at." He replied and walked towards her.
"There are some urgent things I need to do. So I'll be on my way. I'll come by tomorrow so we can stay on this." Matt said and left without another word.
A short time later, he got to his room and locked himself in his bedroom.
He created a rather large inscription to enter the Spirit World, and shortly after, when he opened his eyes, he was in a familiar place.
Every time he came to this World, he appeared here.
But this time, it was not under the mountain; he appeared directly on top.
Mei was nearby, relaxing while looking at the river. When she felt someone appear there, she turned her head, and when she realized who it was, she quickly got up.
"Matt, it's you!" She looked radiant today, much more beautiful than usual, leaving Matt slightly stunned by her beauty.
"I thought you weren't coming; it's been a few days already." She said again after arriving in front of him.
"I had to take care of a few research things before I came. Sorry about that." He replied, and she shook her head.
She smiled and nodded at him.
"I gave you that inscription to form that deep connection to this World because of this. Now, you can use my power in all its splendor, whether it's giving you spiritual energy or helping you strengthen your mental power. I can go with you anywhere in the World as an entity that belongs to your body; that, too, I did for me so that you can take me to know the World.
I can't leave here much because I have to protect the mountain, but if it's with you, no one will notice I'm there, right?" She said, smiling softly with joy.
Matt looked at her in shock, and she smiled innocently in return. He hadn't expected her to be so bold.
But because he was looking at her with such a look, she quickly spoke up.
"It's not bad, Matt. If I didn't do this, you'd never be able to use all of my abilities. My summoners can usually only use part of my power. Which part of my power they will use will depend on how good a summoner I have because it will depend on how many eyes they can represent themselves in the other World.
That's why my old summoner could do almost nothing, but I realized that if I make my summoner form a deep connection with this World, my power represented in the other place will be much stronger."
"Right now, through me, you can use a lot of my power. Besides, there's something much better, Matt." Mei paused after saying this and looked at him with a beaming smile, wanting Matt to feel interested in what she was saying.
And, naturally, Matt was interested. "What's the best?" he asked.
Then she smiled and got up to show him something.
"Come with me. I'll show you what it means to be a Spirit of Destiny, and I'll also tell you I have no combat power. My power is to see destiny; my destiny is to understand and unravel it. But, because of this, occasionally, there are spirits that come to want to cause me trouble. Even spirits from the dark side have come to try to take me prisoner.
Having a Spirit of Destiny, of which there are only 2 in the World, is a blessing, after all." She said, looking sideways at Matt as she walked.
"Do you want to know how I've survived all this time? And why no one dares attack my mountain anymore?" She asked.
Matt frowned. 'If she has no attack power, she should need powerful people to defend it, right? She told me that there are enough powerful spirits in the vicinity to protect the mountain, but it seems that's not the case.' He thought and looked at the River of Destiny.
"Is it because of the River of Destiny? Since you're taking me there, I guess it has to do with this," he said, and she smiled.
