Confused

Osiris briefly looked at Ian before his attention was drawn to the letter in his hand.

The letter in Ian's hand started floating in the air and went towards Osiris. he opened the letter and started reading it.

Since he had nothing to do Ian looked around the principal's office and scrutinized it carefully.

The room has a sense of noble and grand feeling because of its expensive interior, the walls are shining with a faint hue of light and the desk and chair looked like it was made of gold at first glance.

The wooden bookshelf has many books made with leather and bamboo paper and adding the weird-looking plants by the window it looked Luxurious yet mysterious and ancient.

While Ian was admiring the Luxurious Office room, Osiris looked at Ian strangely after reading the letter. despite not having any emotion-reading or mind-reading powers... Ian could guess what he was thinking.

He felt a chill as if someone was holding a knife to his neck.

'..Am I going to get killed?...' Ian was depressed; he had worked hard to get into this university because he knew he could survive here...

'I don't want to die...'...Ian felt uneasy.

"Did you know why you were sent here?" Osiris questioned Ian.

Ian woke up from his thoughts and paused for a moment before responding meekly...

"I...don't know..."

He wanted to come here from the start ... but he has no idea why he was sent here so abruptly.

Osiris nodded as if it was what he expected and asked a question that Ian had not expected.

"Would you like to attend this university?"

"No thanks...I don't have money" Ian covered his mouth after saying that.

'Why did I say that?' While ian was confused about it Osiris looked at ian strangely and questioned.

"What are you talking about?" Osiris then turned his head towards the plants by the window side and let out a slight laugh.

"Oh, I forgot to move those plants to the laboratory..." Osiris took a small vial from a pocket in his suit and threw it towards ian.

Ian caught it and looked at Osiris in confusion." What is this? should I drink this or something? " the vial looked to be made from glass and it had a blue liquid sealed inside tightly.

"If you drink it...I am sure your situation would be far worse than drinking the strongest alcohol in the world. So for your safety and health, just smell it." Osiris walked towards the principal seat and gestured for ian to sit in the chair before the desk.

"So...why are you giving this to me?" Ian asked while sitting on the chair. He looked at the vial and the liquid inside it which looked like poison.

'I would not drink this even if you want me to '...Ian opened the cap and took a whiff of it before closing the cap.

Although Ian can't describe the smell clearly with his vocabulary...it felt good, He felt as if his mind was cleared, and the faint sense of tiredness from his stress and travel was cleared completely making him feel energized.

"What is this?... And why do you want me to take it!?" Ian was perplexed about why Osiris would give him, It's definitely a treasure so why would he give it to him for no reason?

He gave back the vial while waiting for an answer.

Osiris took the vial back and opened it to take a sip of it... He closed his eyes as if to relish the taste and answered after a moment.

"This is a concoction that I brewed with some exotic plants and some demon meat...For me, it's the best thing I have ever made in my life." Although Osiris said it with satisfaction, Ian felt nauseous at the moment.

"Demon meat...Eww, thank goodness that I only smelled it " Ian covered his mouth after saying that.

Ian didn't understand why he said that aloud.

But Osiris looked at him for a moment before nodding his head.

"Indeed you got infected with that toxicant...I shouldn't have placed this plant here"

Ian was confused about what Osiris was talking about but didn't dare to speak...he was afraid of spouting something that he wasn't supposed to.

Osiris looked at the strange plant by the window side and waved his hand...which made the plant disappear as if it never existed.

He then gazed at the confused ian and voiced out nonchalantly. "They are something I made in boredom...they release a special type of toxicant that can simulate one's instincts and can make a person spout anything that came into their mind with no further thought..."

Osiris then looked at ian curiously and asked while gazing at the blue liquid in the vial. "It's commendable that you can hold on for so long...an average person would succumb to the toxicant in a mere 2.4 seconds while you have lasted for a total of 51.86 seconds..."

Ian didn't care about the compliment but looked at the place where the plants disappeared apprehensively...In his worry and stress, he forgot one important point that was known throughout the whole central realm.

Ian looked at Osiris and a sense of worry filled his heart...

' Isn't Osiris a famous mad scientist!?' He wanted to smack himself for forgetting such basic info...And then Ian noticed that Osiris's eyes were filled with curiosity and desire... To Ian, He almost looked like an insane old man from a mental hospital.

'Did I make the wrong decision?' Ian was worried that he might have entered a Snake's cave while running from a Rabbit...
