"Why isn't Alice done yet? With her talent, this should have been over much faster..."
Ethan's voice came out muffled, tinged with worry.
A week had passed since his own breakthrough. The very next morning, Evelyn had also broken through, a fierce and powerful aura forming around her.
Alice, on the other hand, remained locked away in her room.
The fluctuations seeping out from inside grew more intense, climbing endlessly higher, yet never reaching any final peak.
"Forming a magic circle isn't as easy as forming your own aura. She must be taking so long because of the high quality of her circle." Mireya's voice came out a little flushed, with a thin edge of irritation laced through it.
"Hm... that makes sense..." Ethan sighed, his words still muffled.
Why was his voice muffled? And why did Mireya sound so put out?
Well...
He was using her and Evelyn as pillows.
