To be perfectly honest, Theo felt like he would follow his father’s and older brother’s footsteps.
He thought he’d likely not return if he entered this particular guild base, given how suspicious it looked.
It was just that he didn’t think it was because he wouldn’t want to leave.
Noah felt a bit of doubt. Especially when that classmate, Kyle, sprung out to them out of nowhere, practically scaring Theo into jumping up.
"Oh, sorry about that!" Said Kyle with an apologetic smile.
"Theo Belgrave?" Kyle looked at the student, who flinched in surprise.
"And you’re Noah from class, right?"
Noah was surprised that Kyle knew his name, or maybe it was because he did stupid things during the first half of the month.
If anything, he was worried that his tagging along would decrease Theo’s chances, but even after waiting, Kyle didn’t seem to show any violent reactions.
Of course not. If even the people from the Federation couldn’t crumble his resolve, then there was no way he would crumble when faced with a student.
Unless it was his guildmates.
Those people were unhinged and just won’t allow him to build enough peace and calm to last a day.
So, this was a change of pace.
And he gets to do the honor of shocking people.
But really, he just wanted the honors, not an emergency event in which he’d have to call in first responders to deal with their supposed client!
Theo, the poor client actually thought his fears were becoming a reality when they were greeted with an empty shack that even creaked here an there.
And suspicious, as a description was not cutting it anymore. This screamed—not even spoke—dangerous.
Like they were going to be abducted.
But then suddenly, there was this glowing double door.
Well, glowing because it was basically the light source of the place. But what was alarming was how he didn’t remember seeing that door earlier.
So, when the student asked them to follow, alarm bells rang through his mind because this was how people from those films get kidnapped, or worse, killed!
But his friend, the referrer, continued walking the few steps to the door, seemingly unstoppable in his path.
Theo had no choice but to follow.
And in hindsight, Theo was so glad that Noah was a tad bit crazy!
When Kyle pushed the doors open, the two very skeptical clients were greeted by the sudden brightness, and they momentarily had to squint.
But when they opened their eyes, what lay before them was a scene so enchanting that they thought they’d passed on into a different life.
Theo forgot to breathe and had to be smacked in the back because his eyes were starting to bug out.
But that was because Noah wouldn’t understand how the part-Siren student saw the waters and was this close to jumping over.
What the heck was this place?
