"Their sense of Time will be thrown out of proportion. Whether or not they can fit in back into society is another feat as well," finished Raiyen, with furrowed brows.
"You're still alright to take up the challenge?" asked Ysabeau, looking at Raiyen.
"Yes. I just hope that I won't be sacrificing any lives during this thing."
"Meeting is dismissed. We will create the Time Loop for the victims to be in and continue with the needed follow-ups. Just keep in mind, after three months, the Orphanage should be stable enough for us to go back to our daily lives, understood?" proclaimed Gillian.
"Loud and clear, Headmaster," chimed everyone in the room.
"Well then, let's get started. You are going to follow me to my study and find out about how to manifest this spell. Meanwhile, Tomoe, you can help Mavislin back to her room. It seems that fatigue has finally caught up to our little Valkryie. It's naptime," ordered Gillian.
The Valkyrie wanted to protest but her body betrayed her, shrinking down to her child form. Tomoe carefully picked her up and cradled her in his arms, causing Raiyen to be green with envy. Tomoe walked out with a smirk and a tired little girl.
Gillian paid no attention and walked out of the room, with Raiyen behind him.
"Are we going to your office or your actual study?" asked Raiyen, tailing the Headmaster.
"My office is filled with the present-day stuff. And the books of the past few decades. The spell we are looking for won't be there. My actual study might even have a better spell or method to pull off the suggested stunt," explained Gillian.
He then halted, just before taking the steps. This made poor Raiyen bump into his back.
"Why'd you stop?"
"You are the only one who has not stepped foot into my study before, right? The one in the basement," asked Gillian, turning to look at Raiyen with a smile.
"Yea... What about it?"
With a snap of his fingers, the stairs retracted and popped out once more. This time, it wasn't going to the ground floor, it was going through a hole in the first level's floor.
"I promise you, this won't be like anything you've seen before," said Gillian, carefully descending the stairs.
"You're talking to a Time Mage. Granted, I might not be as old or experienced as my future selves but I have seen my fair share of adventures," explained Raiyen, following the happy Aki.
"I'm sure that you will be impressed at what I have beneath these wood floorings. Don't worry, from here on out, it will be a normal descending staircase. No more spirals," assured Gillian, walking past the surface level.
"Great, I won't have to be dizzy the whole way down," said Raiyen, enthusiastically.
"Out of the lot, you are the only one who has yet to see my library," said Gillian, turning to look at Raiyen.
"I don't like to hang around a place that is filled with the lives of others. I am walking paradox, I am afraid I might mess things up," replied Raiyen, going down the staircase.
After they had passed the surface, torches were lit up to guide their way down. They were stone staircase but it was covered with moss, hinting that it has been a while since anyone set foot here. '
"You won't mess any lives up, so long as you don't try to rewrite anything in those books. They represent each individual's life, even I'm not allowed to rewrite it. What you're going to witness is truly a thing of beauty. The pride and joy of being an Aki," said Gillian, gleefully.
Gillian sighed as he continued about the library.
"You know, the place wouldn't have been here if it wasn't thanks to Mavislin and Ysabeau. And little Mav spent her early days hanging out in my library."
"I thought the area came with it? Like, the Old Chapel created this room?" asked Raiyen, curiosity getting the better of him.
"This isn't part of the Old Chapel, my dear boy. This place was hand dug by Mavislin and Ysabeau. The Old Chapel only created the bridge to access the place at a surface level. Because it is still a place that no one else should be in, unless allowed by the three of us," described Gillian.
"With the three people being; Ysabeau, Mavislin, and I. Initially, we wanted to exclude Mavislin from the list but we thought better of it since she was the one who helped create this place. And no, we aren't going to allow anyone else."
"Not even Z or Baldwin? I thought it would be alright for them... They go a long way back... Right? Mav told me that you were friends with them before you met Ysabeau."
