Chapter 22 - 21 Canteen
Reyhan walked down the corridor in Sylphia’s petite body.
"I was amazing back there," he said enthusiastically, and—without a hint of shame—he began moonwalking in a zigzag across the marble floor, complete with Earth-style pop star hand gestures.
[Host, can you stop? That’s extremely inappropriate to do with her body.]
Reyhan stopped and looked at the window beside him. Sunlight reflected off Sylphia’s small figure—her uniform neat, her serious face now beaming with a wide smile as she bent backward like she was performing a solo concert.
"...Yep. That’s embarrassing."
He immediately covered his mouth with his right hand and cleared his throat. "Ahem. Sorry, you’re right, System. I got a little too excited about being able to walk again."
His steps slowed. He glanced around, making sure the corridor was still empty. In his hand was a small folded map taken from the inner pocket of Sylphia’s uniform. It was a full map of the academy—main paths, classrooms, restrooms, and the dining hall.
"The other groups are still finishing their exams," he murmured as his eyes scanned the corridor. "Hmm... Looks safe here. No one’s around. Rather than walk all the way to the restroom... I’ll just do it here."
He leaned briefly against the wall and took a deep breath.
"System, how long will it take for Sylphia to wake up after I exit her body?"
[Three seconds.]
