Several days passed since the day Alvin had encountered the two unknown figures in the depths of the forest of the forsaken land. The time for admission to the Blackmoor Academy was drawing closer.
During this time, no one talked about what had happened, and Alvin did not feel it was appropriate to approach the topic himself. He buried the curiosity deep in his heart and continued on with his training.
His life remained monotonous, not that he minded. But one day that changed too. Alvin was taken aback when Elara abruptly apologized to him.
"Now that I think about it, since we came to this world, I haven't shown you around at all." As Elara sat at the dining table, she suddenly made a comment and glanced at Alvin, who was seated opposite her. "All you have seen is the boundary of this endless forest…"
Her voice contained a hint of self-blame and regret. She had been so fixated on gaining power and training Alvin that she failed as a host.
