"Spirit?"
Upon hearing these words, Igor and Kuren exclaimed in unison.
"Is it strange? Your so-called Spirit Power is closely related to us," answered the voice known as Spirit, its tone calm.
"All your magic is derived by sensing and releasing Spirit Power. Haven't you ever noticed this connection?"
"Furthermore, over the years, the number of Awakenings has been decreasing. This is a sign that your system is becoming more complete. Your magic has become independent, and this reflects a problem, though this deduction is still in its nascent stages."
Igor and Kuren did not quite understand what Spirit was saying. These words seemed to contain many stories—stories that were bizarre yet realistic—but neither of them had any idea what these stories were actually about.
Igor and Kuren could only exchange bewildered glances. They could not see or touch Spirit; they could only hear its voice.
