This vague response only strengthened Ron's suspicions.
But wisely, he chose not to press further.
Some secrets are best kept to oneself; no need to lay everything bare, or it might lead to awkwardness.
"Anyway, thank you for your guidance."
Ron could only sincerely express his gratitude:
"Whether you're a replica or... something else, you've truly helped me grow a lot."
"Ha, smart and polite kids are always likable."
A smiling face reappeared on the book pages:
"Now, go practice your new understanding.
Remember, the best learning always comes from hands-on experience."
"And..." the text in the book added:
"You possess more talent for teaching than imagined.
Perhaps that's why of all the choices in the treasury, you just 'happened' upon the book that suits you."
This final sentence brought a strange feeling to Ron's heart.
A matter of fate, or a carefully crafted layout?
Maybe this mystery will forever remain unsolved.
