Chapter 263: Sage Astra
The day after we arrived at the Mages’ Tower, Headmaster Devon took Melina and me to meet the sage who took care of the tower.
Her office was on floor 99, and when the elevator doors opened, we were shocked at the appearance of the room.
It was as if we were entering a field of flowers with the blue sky above us, which was impossible, so it was obviously a spell that was placed inside.
"Welcome, young sages!" said the voice of a woman.
With the sound of a finger snap, the field of flowers disappeared, and we found ourselves standing in the center of an office surrounded by books and rolled-up scrolls.
In front of us, an old lady with a cane calmly looked at us with a smile. The woman was a bit shorter than me, but her slightly hunched back was the main cause for it.
She wore robes similar to the ones Devon used, except she had an insignia with a star, which symbolized her position as the Headmaster of the tower.
"My name is Astra. I’m glad I finally get to meet you two..." the old lady said with a sweet tone of voice.
After introducing ourselves, Sage Astra snapped her fingers, and the room around us changed once again, turning into a living room with a tea set atop a coffee table surrounded by plush couches.
The lady invited us to a cup of tea, which we had no problem accepting, but Melina and I were entranced by the magic that the woman had used.
’Can she change the space around her? Is this an illusion?’ I thought, not able to recognize the type of spell that the sage was using.
