Chapter 252: Spiritual World
Matt looked at that huge spirit with suspicion.
'A spirit capable of seeing destiny... This reminds me of the time those guys knew I had stolen that treasure despite the fact that, for sure, they didn't see me steal it. Could it be that they have been using spirits to see those things?' Matt thought about that possibility.
This was bad and dangerous for both of them right now.
If he let this person see their destinies, they might realize they were vampires, which would put them in a dangerous situation.
Therefore, Matt looked carefully at the teachers present and the third person there.
'...They are not strong. Each of them has less than 15,000 power. It won't be a problem if I have to force them to keep their mouths shut.'' He thought and looked at the spirit.
'She is a great spirit, but her abilities are not focused on strength but on something else. In reading Destiny, I suppose. It won't be a problem to destroy her then.' Matt thought. He was preparing for the worst situation, and to prevent someone more powerful from coming, he grabbed Alice's hand and walked underneath the spirit.
Once in there, a slight warmth gently enveloped them, and the spirit moved its arms sideways, causing a huge light to blind everything in the room.
Matt closed his eyes briefly as the light was very strong and seemed to be coming from everywhere. When he opened them again, he found himself in a different place.
'Oh? An illusion?' he thought and looked at the sides.
Suddenly, his gaze met another gaze. It was of a woman exactly like the spirit he had just seen, but she was much shorter than before.
She appeared to be about 175 centimeters.
She stared at him in shock.
"How did you get in?" she asked in shock.
Matt didn't bother to answer her, as he was in awe of this fantastic place he witnessed.
He looked up, down, to the sides.
The flowers, the planets that were visible above, the sun... The stones.
Everything was totally different, and it seemed to be alive in this place.
'What is this place?' He thought in shock.
At that moment, a voice brought him out of his thoughts, and the face of the spirit appeared in front of him. "I repeat, how did you get in here?" She asked.
Matt looked at her then and sensed something was wrong with her. He raised his hand curiously and cupped her face gently. He moved it from side to side and then stroked her hair a little.
These actions surprised the spirit, but after seeing herself 'attacked' like that, she quickly jumped back in shock. "W-W-What do you think you're doing?" She asked angrily.
Matt then spoke up. "I got carried away, sorry, but... You're a spirit, aren't you? Why do you have a body? Besides, this place... Is it the Spirit World by any chance?" He asked.
His questions made the woman before him frown. "Don't you know what the Spirit World is? Aren't you a student at your world's Spirit Academy?" she asked suspiciously, and Matt shook his head at her.
"No, I just signed up, so they didn't tell me anything. They just told me they were going to test my destiny."
She then nodded. "How strange. This is the second time this year that someone has managed to get in here without divine authorization," she said softly. It was actually a thought that escaped her mind.
So, she coughed softly so Matt would ignore what she had just said and speak again.
"The Spirit World is a world just like yours, I too am human just like you. Or partially human. But here, we can control spirits because we are half spirits, and our own spirits are what we send there. So it's normal for me to have a body." She answered honestly, something characteristic of spirits.
"And yes, this is the Spirit World. I didn't expect you to be able to enter here. Still, that made it easier for me to see where you should go. So you can come back now. I'll have your girl sent with you too; I hear humans like that." She replied and sat back down with her back to Matt.
Matt was partially in shock at everything she said. He had just discovered several interesting things and even managed to travel to another world instantly.
'If I could get to earth like this, I could get revenge on those bastards before the next Emperor kills them...' Matt thought, but he had to come back to reality fast.
And the reality was that he was in the Spirit World, how was he supposed to get out?
Matt walked over to where the woman was and sat down next to her.
She frowned as she kept her eyes closed. "Didn't I tell you could come back? Being here could be dangerous for you." She opened her eyes after saying this and found Matt's face was extremely close to her.
That scared her. "Ahhh! What are you doing!?" she screamed, frightened, as she tried to move backward.
Matt turned to apologize then.
"I don't know, it's weird. There's something about your face that makes me want to look at it and I don't think you're particularly beautiful. Alice or Isla have better faces than yours, but yours makes me want to see it a lot. How strange." He said and looked up at the sky full of beautiful white clouds.
After that, he looked at a beautiful river running underneath this flowery mountain.
'This world has no pollution,' Matt thought, amazed to see such a beautiful landscape after such a long time.
She sighed. "It's normal. Even if you think I'm not beautiful, it's because you're not seeing my real face. What you're attracted to is my spiritual aura, which you're not used to seeing. When do you plan to come back? You could die if you're still here."
Matt shrugged. "Even if you say so, how do I get back? I have no idea. Besides, I have another curiosity, why do you have 2 eyes here, but your spirit has 4? Aren't spirit and soul identical entities to us?" he asked.
She looked at him doubtfully. "Four eyes? I only have four eyes in the human world?" she asked in surprise.
"You didn't know that?" Matt looked at her suspiciously, and she shook her head.
"How pitiful is my summoner... Not even six eyes, barely four..." She said, almost muttering.
