Emerging from the clouds, a silhouette of a man shrouded by a mystical fog appeared in front of Xavier and Seraphina. He was covered head-to-toe with the fog and the only facial feature visible was his mouth. While Seraphina was straight-faced, Xavier did not hide his disappointment.
"Really? A shroud? How anti-climatic and cliche. It would've been better if you never appeared in the first place."
[Ouch. That hurt. Careful with your words now, I might deduct your rewards…]
"Oh, right! The rewards. I heard from this girl that you can bestow a second Innate gift upon somebody, is that true?"
Looking at the expectant shiny eyes of Xavier, the administrator smiled with pride as he said,
[Huhu, you underestimate me, little Xavier.]
"I'm mentally an old man, don't call me 'little'."
[Oh leave it, you're not even a hundred yet. You are still a toddler in front of me.]
