Chapter 15: Axel’s Potion Path Ability...
The door creaked as Axel stepped inside.
He froze as his eyes scanned the empty room. The walls were bare, there was no furniture in his line of sight, and the air was thick with lingering energy.
His gaze snapped to Matthew.
"Tell me you have a good explanation for whatever this is. If not, you’re definitely reporting to the school authorities."
Matthew’s face held a wry smile as he said with a meaningful gaze, "Close the door first. This should be between you and me."
Axel didn’t think too much about it. Walking in casually, he locked the door and stepped to the side.
Matthew was silent for a moment, thinking of how to say the words.
Axel, noticing his hesitation, spoke with a light laugh, trying to lighten the air. "If you don’t want to say it, that’s perfectly alright. It’s just that you’ll have to handle everything yourself then."
Sensing the light humor in Axel’s words, Matthew had the urge to laugh.
When he created this character, he must have truly been in a good mood then.
Because of the lessened pressure, Matthew felt it was the right moment to speak up.
"Actually, you were right previously. It seems my ability isn’t as easy as it seems." Matthew’s voice was low as he spoke.
