Chapter 609: [609] Trip!
'Now, how do I convince Sabrina?'
Alan wondered as he opened a portal outside of her dorm room, He could talk with the Astral bond but felt this was more appropriate, Despite what Maxwell thought, Alan only barged into his personal space with the portals.
He loved to annoy that man, and thus did it frequently. He did it with only him and a few others.
Before knocking on the door, although it would be useless because the person on the other side was already aware of his presence, he kept thinking.
'Just why does she want me to bring her?'
He was still unable to understand it, he first thought that maybe Sabrina had a connection with Lanesha or a dragon he was supposed to meet, like in the future. The past iterations could have this... But he didn't recall anything of it. He had his memories, and those dreadful nightmares that informed him, but he never saw her, or anyone that looked like her.
So to him, It couldn't be him. He spent some time walking back and forth around her door, still confused.
In the end, he let out a sigh and figured,
"I'll probably find out soon..."
Either Lanesha would tell him or it would come to him naturally. He would find out soon enough...right? Yeah, that was right!
[Will you come inside already?]
Sabrina's voice resounded in his mind, Alan stopped. It must have already been weird for her, She could not only sense his mana but the Astral bond would be telling her as well, of him walking right and left outside her door like a lunatic.
"Alright..."
He opened a portal and appeared right in her room, Sabrina was reading a book whilst sitting on a sofa, her hair was covered in a towel, and it appeared she just came out of the shower. A cup of coffee was present on the table.
"Mind explaining?"
She asked, her eyes not leaving her book at all. Alan stared at her for a bit, the scent of lavender was thick in her room, She really liked that flower.
"Stop being a creep, Al."
Sighing, Alan finally convinced himself to say it.
He continued, as Sabrina's eyes widened.
"He is her brother...and he may help you?"
He seemed to be unsure of himself, but that was enough to convince Sabrina. She already struggled with that darn element when she didn't have the gifts Alan gave her on. Unlike him, she didn't have an endless supply of mana to support those two gifts all the time. Her crystal ball was her life-saver.
"You can also learn a lot about magic."
Ah, that was it. The main selling point. Hearing that, the light in her eyes sparkled, and she
excitedly stood up.
"So when are the two of us leaving?"
'I should have said that sooner...'
Considering how obsessed she was with magic, it was obvious she would be smitten the moment he mentioned she would be able to learn more of it. He should have used this first...
'Damn it.'
Lamenting at the fact that he didn't use this technique first, he sighed and explained.
"In a week, the rest have to get ready as well. Bring something to resist the cold."
Suddenly, she paused.
"The rest?"
Noticing her confusion, Alan explained.
"I meant my party, Predator. They are coming as well."
'Huh?'
Was he wrong? He thought he saw the light in her eyes dim.
"Right... Of course, it would be like that."
'Why do you sound disappointed? The more, the better.'
