Chapter 140: VOL 2 - 85: Arriving.
"It's incredible..." Martin exclaimed amid a sigh as he watched the impressive display of lights in the warp tunnel, something that made Erik smile, who soon after commented calmly.
"I thought the same thing the first time I saw it, though it loses its magic quite quickly once you get used to it and becomes a bit boring. But that's not important. What's important is that we're about to arrive at a rather special place, where there are a bunch of other disciples and university students.
"Moreover, there are also some very important figures of the order. Although at this point there shouldn't be many of them left there, it's better to be safe than sorry, so remember: be polite, but not servile, and try not to cause too much trouble. However, if trouble is unavoidable, don't be afraid of it and stand firm. In the worst-case scenario, you can call me."
"""Understood, Boss!""" The three siblings, Clara, Sofía, and Martín, answered in unison with firm voices, which made Erik nod in satisfaction.
"That's what I like to hear." After speaking, Erik turned to look at Sigrún and asked with a smile.
"Master, more or less how long until we arrive?"
"In an hour, Boss." Sigrún answered with a mischievous smile, which made Erik roll his eyes before looking back at the siblings.
"Well, you heard her. We'll be arriving in an hour."
...
An hour later, Sigrún's beautiful cruiser docked at the space station orbiting the planet Eryndor, the place where the selection tournament was taking place for the Arcane Order's team that would explore the newly discovered ruin. The siblings looked at the station with bright, excited eyes.
Although interstellar travel was a reality, it was something the trio of siblings had never been able to enjoy. They hadn't even been able to leave their hometown, after all. With their meager earnings, they would have had to save for an entire year without eating anything just to pay for a single trip. That sort of thing was a luxury reserved for the wealthy in their backward system.
