She cast a gentle look toward Angor. This boy was really a lucky star. He easily solved a big problem which troubled Sunders for hundreds of years!
“Angor, are you certain you want to learn this book?” asked Sunders. He did not hide his worried tone as he continued to speak, “You need to meet some harsh conditions to do so. Are you absolutely sure? You will waste a lot of time if you try it in vain.”
To actually learn the channeling method was another goal. Before that, considering Angor’s spiritual power indicator, if the boy wanted to become someone powerful enough to save his teacher, Jon, he had to study in a way which was never tested and proved by anyone else or he would idle his life away like Mara.
“You’re on your own in learning this channeling method. Others will not be able to help you. Are you certain about it?” Sunders asked again.
“I am. I will study this book!”
…
Angor felt tired after coming back from the Nightmare Realm. Maybe it was an expected condition after his soul rejoined his body.
“Go and rest for the night, and come tomorrow,” Sunders said.
Angor went straight back to his room. Upon opening his door, he saw Toby flying toward him. He waved a hand at the bird to say hello, then threw himself on his bed and fell into a deep sleep…
It was a lethargic sleep. When Angor climbed up with sleepy eyes, he realized it was the evening of the second day already.
He opened the window. Cold air invaded his face.
He could still see the setting sun in the distance, but the sky was already dark.
Angor stretched himself and yawned. He found Toby sleeping in his hair again. When the cold wind came in, the bird even wrapped some of his hair around itself.
Angor sighed and closed his window to keep the coldness out. He then carefully placed Toby into its tiny bed.
When Angor put a blanket on Toby, the bird was still fast asleep.
Angor felt his stomach rumbling and realized he was starving. He had skipped several meals. He did not feel it when he woke up, but the cold air quickly triggered his hunger. He was planning to go to Sunders after getting washed but it seemed he should solve his food problem first.
Angor cleaned himself in the bathroom and walked to the dining hall.
