"I have a bold thought, maybe we could try it out a bit." Seito suggested.
"But how?" Itsuki asked.
"Uhm... Maybe you can try to focus your magic into it." said Seito.
"Sounds a bit ruthless but... Let's go to the training hall, I guess." said Itsuki, accepting Seito's suggestion.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
At the same time, Sky's room.
Sky is currently experiencing another weird dream. In the dream, he saw Itsuki transformed into a monster with eight heads, each of the heads had different personalities, however, out of the eight personalities, there is no Itsuki's original personality. Just as Sky was confused at the sight, another person that looks like Itsuki walked into the scene, he raises his hand which later turned into a gigantic mouth that swallowed the eight-headed Itsuki at once... The dream ended.
"Ah..." Sky woke up from the dream in a slightly confused state, Maria awakened by Sky's sudden movements.
"Mmm... Darling? What's wrong?" Maria asked, still a bit sleepy.
Sky remained silent without saying, Maria who had pretty much guessed what happened did not continue asking but quietly looking at Sky, just to make sure he is alright. However, this attitude of Maria successfully drawn out Sky's curiosity.
"Maria, don't you actually curious about my dream just now? You know, it is kind of like a premonition dream again... I guess." said Sky.
"Well, from how you reacted just now, I think it should not be a serious deal, or at least it has nothing to do with Chris chan or Ben chan." said Maria.
"Well, it's in fact as what you said but... Why does it sound a bit heartless and weird?" said Sky.
"Ah~ Darling! Stop teasing me." said Maria while softly slapped Sky's chest.
"Haha, I'm telling the truth... Hmm? Hey! I sensed some magic flow from the training hall." said Sky.
"Mmm... I sensed it as well." said Maria.
"I wonder who will be doing training this early?" Sky asked.
"I don't know, want to go check it out?" Maria asked.
"I guess so." said Sky.
However, just before Sky could walk out of his room properly, he felt his energy been drained which caused him to leaned to a table at his side.
"Ah! Darling! Are you alright?" Maria exclaimed as he quickly held Sky in hand, preventing him from collapsing.
"Damn it... I had underestimated the backfire effect of this premonition dream... Maybe this is an extremely important premonition after all..." said Sky, a bit weak.
"I guess I shall get Ben chan or Hoshe chan here." said Maria after he led Sky to a chair nearby.
"It's not necessary, I should be alright after a while, you should go check out what is happening in the training hall right now... I have a bad feeling about it." said Sky.
Maria nodded.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Training room. Itsuki is trying to focus his magic to the octagonal star orb while Seito is watching at him anxiously. Due to the previous training, Itsuki had improved greatly, he successfully activated the orb at his second try, which put him into a trance. He remained in that trance state for a few minutes without any body movements except his heartbeat and breath. Seito is a bit worried to see his cousin in this state for this long while not showing any sign that he will regain his consciousness any sooner. He tries to call out his cousin in a soft voice but Itsuki doesn't show any reaction to that which makes him even more anxious.
"Maybe you should leave him like that for a bit longer, who knows what he is undergoing right now?" said Maria who suddenly entered the training room.
"Maria-san! But he had been like this for a whole ten minutes. Is it even alright to leave him like this?" Seito asked anxiously.
"Well, despite of not knowing what he is experiencing right now, I can confirm that he is alright by the rate of his pulse and brainwaves released. Moreover, I'm a bit curious about the function of this orb. And since it's reacting with his magic... So... " said Maria.
"Ah... Actually... I'm curious too. If it's not dangerous for Itsuki, I guess..." said Seito, rather hesitated and felt guilty.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
As soon as Itsuki activated that orb, he found himself in a plain closed area, in front of him are eight people, five men, three ladies, each of them has very different personalities. Itsuki is not able to move his body, he can only watch those people's movements from a distance and they seem to have some sort of discussion about Itsuki.
"Ah... Is this another new person? He definitely looks weaker than the previous one." said a lady with short hair and a flat chest.
"Heh? I thought he looks exactly the same as the previous one." said another lady that looks exactly the same as the previous lady except for having long hair.
"No, no, no, they look the same but having a different aura." said the third lady, who has a plumper body shape.
"Ladies, stop bad mouthing about that boy, no matter how weak he is, you can't deny that he is now our new master." said a man in a formal suit, his neat and tidy attire makes his words extremely sarcastic.
"I don't agree with you, we can never acknowledge such a weakling as our new master." said another man that has a well-built-up body.
"Maybe..."
"We could..."
"Test him out a bit." said the remaining three men that look totally identical except for the eye colors.

Chris: "Oh! This matter. Yes, if you're reading this chapter on another platform than webnovel.com, know that it's an illegal copy diffused without the Writer's authorization."
Sky: "As what Chris said. Right now, this story is free on the authorized platform, so please read it from authorized platforms as mental support for the writer."
Chris: "Mhm... There are two authorized platforms. One is webnovel.com. And another one is that messy and half-dead Weebly site that she uses for draft and backup... But not recommended."
Sky: "Ah... Haha. Yes, as Chris said."
Chris: "But look out, those scums might change this note to their own website link. So, be cautious.
Sky : "By the way, if the cover page is the old cover page that shows two stickmen, stop reading it, it's cursed and might caused the writer to stop writing."
