Another World with Another Race

***

The following day

Aurora's Arcana arrangement went faster than Arryn had expected. Aurora felt different compared to Arryn when adjusting the Arcana to her body. Aurora felt warm and excited after a few minutes of doing the final Arcana setup.

Different feelings were felt by people, including Aurora. Now, Arryn was not with the girl. He was still silent as he stared at the roof of his bedroom.

"Aren't you going to try your magic again, Arryn?" asked Ivy, staying close to Arryn.

"My magic? It seems not, Ivy. Don't you remember the advice Quentin gave me?" asked Arryn, turning his head as his eyes looked at Ivy perched on the nightstand to Arryn's right.

Ivy knew and remembered the advice Quentin had given Arryn, especially about the effects of the young man's original magic.

Quentin had clearly said that Arryn was forbidden to use his original magic under any conditions, whether in Riviela's classes or during his spare time.

"But if you worry too much about Quentin's advice, you'll never make any progress," Ivy said.

"Whatever you say, it's all true, Ivy," Arryn replied, getting up from his back on the bed as he turned around, sitting on the edge.

"But what about the effects of the magic? Yesterday, Quentin said that I've been missing for five days," Arryn said.

Ivy was silent. Arryn's words made Ivy realize the potential for more significant changes in space and time. It was a confusing situation for both Arryn and Ivy.

"What if I travel to a place with a faster time acceleration than Athanor? Maybe I'll disappear for a week or worse, a month," Arryn replied. Ivy nodded and didn't want to argue with Arryn's words because it was true.

"I think we'd better learn some basic elemental magic," Arryn replied, standing up as he moved his feet closer to the wardrobe.

The wardrobe door opened, and there were only a few pairs of his clothes; the apprentice uniform, one black T-shirt, one shirt, one cloak, and two white T-shirts.

"Basic elemental magic? Then we're going to the library?" asked Ivy, starting to fly next to Arryn.

The young man nodded as he picked up a T-shirt and trouser suit. Ivy complained, saying that she was bored of going there. It was like being a nerd who had to stick to studying in the library.

"How about you borrow a book and we go practice outside?" Ivy suggested.

"Not bad. I'll try to borrow it and go to the practice field on the first floor," said Arryn, getting ready with his clothes on.

Just as Arryn was about to open the door, his steps were stopped, and his eyes widened at Ivy's idea. Her idea had to do with Arryn's original magic.

"What if you use your original magic to go to the library?" asked Ivy. Arryn was surprised because Arryn had never tried it.

"But what if the portal doesn't lead me to the library?" asked Arryn.

"You have to imagine the place before casting the spell, just like when you opened the portal that connects to Quentin's office," replied Ivy; she reminded Arryn of this method which came from Aurora's idea.

In the end, Arryn was willing to do that, opening the dimensional portal in front of the wooden door of his room while continuing to imagine the Obelisk library.

Arryn's eyes closed as he stretched his right hand forward. He directly rotated his hand in a clockwise direction while chanting the spell.

[Summoning System: Two Different Worlds]

A circular portal appeared in front of Arryn, white in colour with a texture like a cloud bubble. This was Arryn's second gamble to test his magic, whether it could connect to the place he had described.

Arryn bravely stepped into the white portal, followed by Ivy. The dazzling light made it impossible for Arryn to see what kind of world existed beyond the portal. However, after the light faded, Arryn saw the place connected to the portal.

Arryn and Ivy arrived in a town with the main street crowded with people. What surprised Arryn was that the people in this city were not human.

They looked like reptiles with human-like bodies, except their skin was replaced by scales with round black eyes, sharp teeth, and long tongues. On their heads and backs, fins were the same colour as their scales.

That was just a description of one person Arryn and Ivy met. Both of them realized that a person's appearance in this world was far different from what they had previously visualized.

"Are we in the reptilian world?" asked Ivy, whispering.

Arryn shook his head. He had no idea what this place was and why they were dumped there. Arryn and Ivy decided to quickly move away from the main street, enter a small dark alley and rest for a while there.

"It looks like your original magic can't change places in the same world," Ivy replied.

"I think so, considering the spell name is two worlds," Arryn explained.

"We'd better get back before time in Athanor changes too fast for us," Arryn continued.

Ivy nodded. She agreed with Arryn's request to return to Athanor as it was the best option. Ivy certainly didn't want Quentin to yell at Arryn for her idea.

Arryn recited the spell again as he visualized the library area of the Obelisk. Soon, the white portal reappeared, and Arryn immediately entered, followed by Ivy.

The second place Arryn visited was a place that matched her imagery, the Obelisk library. However, their arrival surprised some people. They were second-tier magic users having a conversation at a long table.

There were about ten of them, and all eyes were on Arryn and the white portal behind him. Arryn was silent as he smiled and waved at them.

Ivy flew up as she shouted something to Arryn, something terrible. Ivy entered the portal and told Arryn to close it quickly.

"Close it now!" Ivy shouted, and Arryn said yes.

The white portal closed on its own, but to his surprise, the person Arryn had described appeared from behind the white portal, only his head.

Because the portal's power was much stronger than the reptile's, the reptile's head was cut off right when the white portal was closed entirely. The second-tier mages who saw this incident immediately stood up and took distance from Arryn.

"It looks like that thing is a human-eating reptile," Ivy said. Arryn nodded while crouching down.

He lifted the monster's sharp-toothed head with his hand. Arryn continued to wonder what race had this look? Then are they really human eaters?

"Wh-What are you doing?" asked one of the second-tier mages, pale-faced, when he saw the severed head in Arryn's hands.

"Do you know anything about this?" asked Arryn, this reptile being the second life Arryn had seen from behind the portal, after the first being a human in the Ancient Egyptian Kingdom.

"I don't know what monster it is," said the person.

"Well, I don't know either," replied Arryn, turning his head and seeing that the blood colour of this monster was none other than green, utterly different from normal human blood.

Arryn remembered Quentin, who might have information about the identity of the monster he had killed. He asked the second-tier mages to give the reptile head to Quentin, but none of them was willing.

"Should I just throw it away?" asked Arryn, looking at Ivy, who was still flying beside him.

"Don't. It could be rare information about the existence of reptilian races in other worlds," Ivy replied.

Arryn remained silent as he held up the severed reptile's head, its face disgusting with the saliva flowing from its mouth. Arryn decided to bring the head to Quentin himself.

"Alright, I'll hand it over to Quentin."
