Adam was slightly taken aback. "You would let me choose from everyone present here?"
Usually, when a Magus formed a contract with a spirit from the Spirit World, a lot of steps were involved.
Firstly, the Magus had to research the information about the type of spirit they were looking for. Once they gathered enough information, they would then have to find the location of the spirit.
However, this was already done by Professor Whitaker. Wood spirits were one of the best when it came to healing magic and the matriarch of this village was the professor's contractor.
Adam and the rest of the students didn't have to spend time and effort bothering about the initial steps since it had already been taken care of.
Moreover, Professor Whitaker had also given them the details about the ritual involving the summoning of and communing with the spirit.
All the students had to do was negotiate the contract with the spirit and then sign it.
