Introduction to Spirits (I)

----

Just as Odessa told him before, as Apollo became immersed in cultivation, the bells symbolizing the beginning of class tolled. Moreover, they were much louder than they typically were due to the special state of the class taking place today. Thus, there were no absences allowed. Those who were absent would face disciplinary action.

Also, the instructors were given orders to forcefully fetch them should they run later than 10 minutes. However, this was a class everyone was interested in, why would they become a straggler by failing to present themselves.

Apollo then opened his eyes while the peals of the bells continued to resound in his ear, "Attempting to advance my internal state is truly much slower here. Even if I absorb the Anima Crystals, the atmosphere doesn't allow me to enter the state needed to seamlessly absorb what's inside to convert to my own."
