Chapter 290: “Boy, you're a genius!”
She smiled after receiving that question. 'Naturally, he would ask this.' She thought.
She nodded at him. "I've improved quite a bit lately."
"Well, there are several things I want you to do for me. Is your older sister doing well? I need her help, too."
She nodded at him. "She seems very moody lately, but she's doing well. Apparently, her spirit of destiny has given her a couple of gifts these days."
"Then perfect. Come to my office when you're done here; there are several things we need to talk about." He said, and before turning away, he squeezed one of her buttocks hard, making her frown in pain.
Still, she only moaned softly and said nothing.
He then turned around and walked away.
The woman sighed. She went back to fixing her clothes, all the while moaning inwardly. 'Damn, old man. If you weren't the founder, you could never play with my body like that.'
Still, this was a common occurrence for her. Whenever that old man was upset with someone or wanted to assassinate him, he would seek her and her sister out. They would stop by his bed to relieve the old man's stress and then complete the mission.
Thanks to that, both sisters, who are not very talented in their fields, have amazing status in the Academy.
'Let's see what he'll have for me now.' She thought, turning back to her own thing.
...
Matt returned to the classroom after talking to Mia.
'I didn't think this woman was so good at so many things. Research, summoning, and even artifact creation. What's more, she looks like a nice enough person. I wonder if it's just a mask or is she really like that.' Matt thought.
After arriving at class, the students under Robert's spirit told him that Robert was teaching Alice the summoning inscription and gave him the address.
After arriving there, he noticed that Alice was studying a huge inscription.
Robert was sitting in a chair, doing other things.
When he noticed Matt arriving, he stood up.
"Zen Student, how did it go? Were you able to learn from the Great Summoner?" he asked, and Matt nodded.
"That's right, Professor Robert. I understand everything in a better way now and I think I can do better."
Robert nodded and motioned for him to sit down. "Student Aelia is having a little epiphany. Don't disturb her. Study this inscription on your own." Robert said. After giving him an inscription, he explained a portion of what he needed to explain to him.
After that, Matt began to study the inscription.
He was not unfamiliar with inscriptions like Alice, so it was easy for him to understand the inscription. 'This is an amazing and complex inscription. It seems to contain many connections all over the place.' He thought and studied it for a while.
An hour later, he finished.
"Professor, if I'm not mistaken, this inscription is used to travel to the Spirit World, right?" he asked.
Robert looked at him in surprise.
"Did the Great Summoner explain it to you?"
"No, I can see it in the inscription. The connections on the inscription are written in the ancient language; I can understand it quite well, and these connections are to make a spirit travel to another dimension."
Robert stood up abruptly when he heard that. His chair flew back, and he ran to Matt. "Boy, did you really learn everything by reading the connections? My God, at the Academy, only the Great Summoner can do that. Are you really that good?" he asked in shock.
"No, wait. If you think that's what it says, can you try reading this one?" Robert quickly pulled out another inscription.
It was a little less complex this time, so Matt took 15 minutes to look at it and understand it.
"Wow, so that's what I saw in the courtyard, was it? This inscription is to allow the spirit to absorb less energy from you and more from the environment, so it can exist outside longer."
A big smile appeared on Robert's face then. "Boy, you're a genius!"
"Hahahaha, and to think I would discover such a good student, hahaha." He said, with a big smile on his face.
He was so happy that his shout woke Alice from her epiphany. She was surprised to see Matt here, but she was more surprised by Professor Robert, who almost jumped for joy while looking at Matt as if he were some god.
She walked over to Matt. "So, what happened?" she asked.
But before Matt could answer, Robert spoke up.
"Well, I've decided. With you with her, student Aelia has nothing to worry about learning about that inscription. So, I'll teach both of you everything else you need to know instead."
"It shouldn't be in this class, but since you're so advanced and manage to understand so much, it's best to teach it to you quickly." After that, Robert had them sit at a table, and he stood in front of them at the board.
He almost didn't even let them ask questions because he was so excited.
"Guys, you should know that the invocation lies in the fact of contacting the Spirit World by means of magical inscriptions. When you activate such an inscription, your spirit will leave your body for a moment and you will reach a dark place that is between the Spirit World and this World. There, you will wait for your spirit to appear, which will sense the compatibility and approach you."
"That means you won't really see the Spirit World. Still, you are not here to see that place but to invoke a spirit. But you must keep several things in mind before you summon a spirit."
"First, the spirits are divided into categories. These Categories are called 'Orders', and each Order has its respective type of power. For example, among the spirits you have seen so far, the spirit of the madam who saw your destiny is of the Order of Destiny. In my case, my spirit is of the Order of Trials."
"There are all kinds of orders. Both attack and defense. Magical or non-magical. There are also orders of very different and specific but powerful subjects. One such example is that of the Order of Destiny. Still, all of those orders can be grouped into a few categories."
Having said all this, Robert turned around to look at the board and write a few things there. As he wrote, he explained.
