Although I haven't been here long, a lot has happened, and it seems I am still quite calm. Huh~
It's strange; it feels like something is different within me. Right now, I am quietly meditating in my dormitory because I have recovered my beast, which means I now possess an additional type of power. Of course, I can't use it; only high-level experts can merge with their beasts and create their own skills through soul fusion. Through introspection, I saw Little Pink, the caterpillar. I couldn't think of a suitable name for it and didn't know what it really was, but it's better than just calling it "little fur." Today, it seems quite restless, constantly wriggling. Although I lack experience, I know that at this time, beasts are usually resting. During this period, they will slowly grow; the larger they get, the slower their growth rate becomes. Little Pink's wriggling speed increased rapidly, as if it were a powerful force. Oh no, I can't control it! What's happening?! I quickly began to chant a calming spell... No way, it's not working?
“Xi Meng, open the door!” It's Xiaopu. I'm unable to move right now. My whole body feels tense; it feels like I'm about to suffocate. Xiaopu, please come in, I silently urge.
“I clearly saw her come back just now. Your Highness, maybe she'll come back later.” Could it be that Silver Moon has also arrived? Damn it, I can't even make a sound.
I used all my strength to push over the vase on the table, and then collapsed. Sure enough, not long after, the door was burst open by Silver Moon. Is Xiaopu behind her? My vision started to blur, and then everything went black...
After a tearing pain, I woke up to find Grandpa Ronda sitting by my bed, with my mentor standing behind him.
“Xi Meng, you're awake. Are you feeling better?” Grandpa Ronda was still as kind as ever.
“I’m fine now. What happened to me?”
“It should be related to your beast. After you fainted, it automatically came out of you and kept eating whatever it saw. Generally, when a beast is tamed, it grows by absorbing energy from pillars. It’s possible that Xi Meng, your power isn't enough for it or that there’s something within you that doesn't harmonize with it.” Above my head was Little Pink, looking guilty; but how did its body grow so large all of a sudden? It must be about 30 centimeters long—how could this happen in just a few days?
“Xi Meng, you should rest well. In a couple of days, we will enter Dream City. Take care of yourself,” my mentor said.
“Okay, Grandpa will leave for now and come back to see you later.”
I focused my gaze on Little Pink after they left. "Tell me, what kind of monster are you?" Little Pink looked confused. Under my frowning scrutiny, Little One started to roll her eyes around nervously. I knew something was off with her; if she wouldn't speak, I'd see how long she could hold out.
"Cough." Huh? I turned to see that Silver Moon was still sitting on the couch against the wall on the right side. I smiled awkwardly at him. "Why didn't you say anything? Do you need something from me?"
"It was Xiaopu who asked me to come here; she had something to attend to first. I came to discuss the grouping for this new trial."
"I'm in your group again?" And that fiery Miss Fire Fan too; we wouldn't be grouped together again, would we?
"We are indeed in the same group again. I'm the leader, and our other member is a Wild Ghost." Oh my, how are these groups being assigned? A Wild Ghost? He's even scarier than Fire Fan. "This venue is not like Beast Forest; Beast Forest only has a bunch of magical beasts. No matter how intelligent they are, they can't compare to us; it's just physical danger. But Dream City poses threats to both your mind and body, especially for those with weak mental fortitude. Once you get lost in it, you may never find your way out." Silver Moon explained seriously. I always felt something strange about him; he seemed to be helping me but maintained a certain distance.
Seeing that I didn't respond, he continued, "The Wild Ghost is very strong. We often train together. As long as you follow orders this time, we guarantee your safety and will bring you back out. Most rumors in the academy are exaggerated; he only appears cold on the surface, so you don't need to be afraid of him." You're already cold enough; do I really have to deal with two ice blocks? Well, I'm not afraid of the cold.
"Thank you, I understand."
"Alright, I'm leaving now. You should rest." With that, Silver Moon turned and walked away.
"Silver Moon Senior." He turned back to look at me, his purple eyes shimmering beautifully—truly stunning. The eyes of the captive were also beautiful as they looked at me like that.
"What is it?"
"Oh, oh, I just wanted to say thank you."
"Didn't you just say that?"
"Thank you for not abandoning me during Beast Forest and Xiaopu."
A fleeting smile appeared on Silver Moon's expressionless face; that was a true smile. "That is my responsibility." By the time I came to my senses, he had already vanished.
Responsibility? I decided not to think about it anymore and just rest for a while.
