While Shoichi passed his test, another situation unfolded in the opposing street where Seiya had been.
The first floor of the building looked similar to the building Shoichi entered with some small differences, the primary one being that there was a circular hole in the middle of the floor where a pond was erected.
Several students sat in meditation, not acknowledging Seiya's presence as he came in.
He wasn't sure who the teacher was so he'd ask the group of students who were practitioners of the school for help.
'' Hey, does anyone know who the teacher is here? '' Seiya asked initially.
'' Helloo? '' He asked again after no one replied.
The silence was deafening and it made it clear to him that no one there had any intention of replying to him.
After a few seconds had passed, a phantasm emerged near Seiya in the form of Tsukumo's mother who appeared purely to speak to him just like she had several times before.
