Chapter 92 - A Visitor
A few more days had passed since I had acquired the tribe's power, and I was still getting the hang of it. After all, even if I could use it, I needed to get better at using it. I was not used to seeing so many afterimages of people.
I needed to get better at ignoring some of them while focusing on what truly mattered. Still, within a few hours, I had managed to do a decent job.
I was currently training on increasing the time in which I could use this power, and that meant I needed to increase the amount of aether. However, we weren't making a lot of progress in that department because Zoe had never even noticed the aether in her body, which meant that we were testing a bunch of things without any results.
However, today, Zale paid us to visit the secluded training ground.
It was the very first time that someone had come to pay us a visit, and I wasn't sure if this was a good thing or a bad thing.
He came all alone as he could barely even walk, struggling to take each step forward. Considering his state, it was certain that he wasn't coming here just for fun. There had to be an important reason.
"How is the training progressing?" He asked as he sat on the only bench in the secluded area.
"It's alright. However, we have been stuck for the past few days, unable to increase the amount of aether within his body. What about outside? Is there anything strange happening?" Zoe asked as she replied in my stead.
However, even if she replied in my stead, it seemed like she knew the type of questions that would come out of my mouth.
Zale turned in my direction as he answered those questions. "Nothing of much importance is happening outside. Your students are progressing at a decent rate. However, one of them refused to participate in the training for some reason."
Without even needing to ask, I knew that this student was Art. However, I just shrugged because I knew this was bound to happen, considering his personality.
"Anything else?"
"Our guards have noticed an individual roaming close to the village. However, it seems like she cannot see us at all. She was not chosen."
I frowned.
POV Alexandra
It had taken me a few days to reach the spot where Caedrel had been supposed to be training, but once I got there. There was absolutely nothing in the surroundings.
I had tried to call Jackson a few more times, asking for him to share his location again. However, every time I would try to do so, it would go straight to the voice mail. It was as if he had blocked me. It was either that or he had lost access to his phone, which was quite annoying since there was literally nothing around this place. It was completely vacant.
"Did that little bastard lie to me?" I muttered under my breath. "Ancient tribe, my ass!"
I kicked the ground out of frustration, having nothing else to do.
I was exactly where I was supposed to be.
Out of frustration, I just kept walking around the place without much purpose, trying to think about what to do next.

After all, I couldn't leave the Royal Academy unattended for too much time. I hadn't even warned anyone about my departure, which meant that I needed to get back before anyone noticed me missing. I had told my secretary to cancel all meetings, but I had a few meetings at most.
"Ugh...this is so annoying!" I muttered as I once more tried to kick the grass before me.
However, this time, just as I was about to do so, a strong energy blocked my strike, moving my feet away.
"Huh? What happened?"
I frowned as I got closer to where my kick was blocked as I tried to push my hand forward. Once more, I felt like I was touching an invisible wall.
"Don't tell me that they are hiding in there?!" I exclaimed out loud as I started pushing against the wall and shouting as loudly as I possibly could.
