In front of Kalya’s mansion, two people were seen standing there. Those two people are Ziel and Kalya. At this moment Ziel and Kalya stood up without saying anything. An awkward atmosphere surrounded Kalya when she saw Ziel stop his footsteps. Kalya was afraid that she would make a mistake by asking that question to him. In the first place, Kalya didn’t know why she was afraid that Ziel would be angry with her. But his words immediately dispelled her fear.

“Yes, I did.” Ziel answered her honestly.

“Uh, is that so? Aren’t you afraid of the Aurelia Kingdom?” She was a little surprised that Ziel admitted it right away. Usually, he would pretend he didn’t know anything.

“You don’t need to think about that.. We’d better get started on training.” Ziel does not want to discuss it any further. Because he doesn’t care about the Aurelia Kingdom or anything else.

“Alright… We’ll go to the back of the mansion. The environment there is perfect for practicing spiritism.” Kalya walked into the mansion and led him to the place where they would start their training.

When he gets there, Ziel sensed that something was different from the current environment compared to the front of the mansion. Though the distance between the two places is not that far away.

“Hmm… This place is very calm and the air also feels very fresh. The concentration of mana and aura in this place is also very dense. Is it also because of the spirit?” Ziel asks Kalya who is walking in front of him. He could feel Kalya stopping at the place with the densest concentration of mana and aura in that place.

“You’re right, I also accidentally found this place. That’s why I made a mansion not far from here.” Kalya turns herself around and looks at Ziel. The short skirt she was wearing would flutter if she made a lot of movements that would expose her white and smooth thighs.

“Then how shall we begin the training?” Before Ziel reincarnated, he had never tried it once and information regarding spiritism was a secret of the elven race. Even though he had met a great spirit, but the information he had about it was too little.

“Eh… That is…” Kalya’s face suddenly turned red. She became nervous and didn’t know how to explain it to him.

“That is…?” Ziel didn’t know why she suddenly behaved like that.

“Hmm… Do you know that spiritism is a special ability of elves? Because only elves can sense the existence of spirits, or rather spirit particles. However, not all elves can sense it from the moment they are born. So, they need the help of other elves who are already able to use spiritism to sense the presence of spirit particles. Because that is the first stage in practicing spiritism.” Kalya starts explaining spiritism to Ziel. Even though she knew it was a secret from the elves, she had already made a promise to him. The explanation is also part of practicing spiritism for him.

“I already know some of what you said. But for the other part, I just heard it from you.” Ziel nods at her words. Because some of what Kalya said is something that many people already know. But some are the secrets of the elves.

“Just like humans… We elves also have people who are talented or what we call blessed. They are elves who can sense the presence of spirit particles from the moment they are born. Just because you can sense the presence of spirit particles doesn’t mean you have mastered spiritism. First, you have to feel the presence of spirit particles. After that, you have to pull it towards you and condense it into a magic circle. But to the elves, we call it the spirit circle. Everyone has a different shape of a spirit circle. As you know mine has a big tree pattern. The bigger the power, the bigger the circle. Most of those who can create a large spirit circle are from the royal family.” Kalya continues his explanation to him. But at the end of the sentence, her voice became low and almost inaudible.

“So, how do the elves who don’t have the blessing perceive the existence of spirits?” Ziel directly asked the point of their conversation.

“You… You must make physical contact with a person who has mastered spiritism.” Kalya blushed to the tips of her ears. She said it while lowering her head and not daring to look at his face.

“Then what should I do?” Ziel still doesn’t understand what kind of physical contact she means.

“Elves feel the spirit particles in their environment using all their senses. But the most sensitive are their brains. So… For the start of the training, we have to hold hands and… our foreheads must touch.” Kalya squeezed her words trying to explain how they could sense the existence of spirits. She seemed to have reached her limit, even though she tried to act casual in front of him. But her blushing face couldn’t hide her embarrassment.

(Hohoho… Since we made the contract, I’ve never seen you make such an expression)

Silphy’s teasing voice sounded in her mind.

“Noisy.” Kalya accidentally spoke directly with her mouth and it was heard by Ziel who was in front of her.

“Hmm… I haven’t said anything yet.” Ziel doesn’t know that Kalya is being teased by Silphy.

“Oh, sorry. I was talking to Silphy just now.” She took a deep breath and tried to calm her mind.

“All right, let’s start the training. Because it’s going to be night soon.” Ziel has to go back to his dorm soon. Because the dorm master will check on his students who haven’t returned at night. In the ID book, there is a prohibition for students to roam at night.

“Yes… You sit down.” Kalya still doesn’t know how to train him. Right now she felt very embarrassed imagining what would happen after this.

“Yes.” Ziel sat cross-legged on the ground not caring that his pants would get dirty. Kalya then sat in front of him. They were currently sitting opposite each other.

“Give me your hand, we have to put our palms together.” Kalya feels awkward with their current situation. And she felt uncomfortable because right now she was also sitting cross-legged. Because she was wearing a short skirt, the white skin of her legs was exposed in front of Ziel. She used her hands trying to cover it.

“Use this.” Ziel who saw it immediately took a black robe from his storage space and gave it to Kalya to cover her legs. Kalya accepted it with a blushing face and covered her legs.

“Thank you, let’s get started.” Kalya and Ziel both reached out and pressed their palms together. Kalya’s warm body temperature could be felt by Ziel from his palm.

“Hmm… Now we have to stick our foreheads together. After that, close your eyes and feel the presence of spirit particles around you.” Kalya was embarrassed to say the next step for his training.

“Okay.” The two of them slowly drew closer to each other’s faces. They look like they’re about to kiss if someone else sees it.

When their foreheads touched, they could feel each other’s breath. Kalya is currently trying to focus on calming her mind. But all of that was in vain. She could feel her heart beating very fast and irregularly. She subconsciously intertwined her fingers with Ziel to suppress those feelings.

Ziel, who was currently concentrating didn’t notice any changes in his body. His heart was beating fast for a few seconds and then immediately returned to normal.

Ziel could currently sense countless particles of light floating around him. That thing is what Kalya called spirit particle. With this, he had already successfully carried out the first stage of spiritism.

According to what Kalya said. After this, Ziel has to attract those particles by emitting mana or aura from his body. Slowly the particles are attracted towards him. Initially, one or two particles are attracted, but over time the number continues to grow until dozens of particles are attracted at once.

Once the spirit particles are attracted, the next step is to condense them into a circle. He brought the particles together one by one and condensed them. He did so while attracting the spirit particles around him. He kept repeating this step until a spirit circle the size of a plate was created. But the spirit circle still didn’t have a clear shape.

Ziel stopped the process and opened his eyes. He doesn’t know how long he’s been training but the sky is already dark. In front of him, Kalya still closed her eyes. But Ziel knows that she is currently asleep. Just as Ziel was about to move, he saw kalya intertwine his fingers with him. Ziel slowly removed his palm from her.

When he stood up, he saw Kalya sleeping on the ground. She was sleeping soundly, her face looked so innocent and adorable. He doesn’t look cold like he used to show in the academy. Ziel then picked her up from there, he carried her in a princess hug towards the mansion.

When he reached the mansion, Ziel didn’t know where Kalya’s room was. And Silphy didn’t show up to tell him either. So, he lays down Kalya on what looks like a sofa. He used his previous black robe to cover her and left the mansion. Not long after Ziel came out, Silphy manifested herself.

(You can show that calm sleeping face when you are with him, a person who is younger than you and you haven’t known for long. You might bond with him if you continue like this. Maybe he can help you shake off bad memories of your past or help you get back to where you belong. Sooner or later you have to leave this academy. But the choice is yours. I think he’s the right guy for you. I will continue to support you until the end)

After that, Silphy disappeared and returned to Kalya’s sleeping body with a smile on her face.
