A portal opened in the Dragon Building of Shield, Dorm number 01. It flickered slightly for a moment, as if struggling to maintain its existence, but soon stabilized. A pale white hand, almost like alabaster, grabbed the edges of the portal and forced it open further.
Soon enough, Alan Peccator stepped outside, his appearance unchanged since the seal was broken. He frowned and turned back to look at his portal.
"Is it me, or was it harder to open one here right now?"
Indeed, opening a portal to his own room at Shield shouldn't be hard. Furthermore, wasn't it cleaner than when he left it? He didn't pay too much attention to that; Sage Oliver probably had gotten some staff to clean it. His primary focus was on the former issue. Why has opening a portal become difficult?
Alan spread his mana sense throughout Shield and noticed the issue.
'Oh...'
