A New Retainer

The middle-aged magician stepped up first. "You have visited El-Alanca at least once, right, my lord?"

"Indeed." Noel nodded, remembering the time he visited the academy with Rose.

"I am one of the professors at the El-Alanca Academy. And it seems that one of my students has become your guide for a while."

"One of your students?" Noel recalled two people who had become his guides. So, he didn't know which one was his student.

"Yes. He goes by the name Sharkan. After his meeting with you, he asked me about the origin of the spirits. Does every single person have a spirit in their body? If that is the case, won't the world feel like it's fair to everyone but unfair because we're limited by the conversion rate?" 

Noel maintained his poker face, but he indeed had this name. He was the one suggesting that the spirits lived in everyone, but most of them couldn't awaken them.
