That evening, Van, Sarah, and Xiel were shown to their shared quarters—a modest but clean room in the Tower's lowest level.
Sarah immediately began organizing Julia's belongings for the next day, while Xiel stood near the small garden… Indeed, each Apprentice Mage room seemed to have an empty garden…
Van guessed that this would be used by the Apprentices to grow their own plants or herbs for their Alchemy Subject or something similar.
"We will live here for at least five years, if Miss Julia is better than most Apprentices. However, it may take ten years if not…" Sarah suddenly said. "We should start getting used to this life."
Van didn't respond, but he looked at his Lens' analysis of his collar…
'It's still stuck… I need to start learning more about Magic Artifacts as well.' He mused.
His Ocularis Lens was definitely powerful, and he knew that it would be able to help him escape from the bindings of the collar someday.
