"You're Armin, aren't you? Disciple of the Shadow Immortal?"

"I am…" Armin replied carefully.
"Good. We're demonstrating intermediate summoning pacts today within the Spirit Arts Tower… I heard that you're serious about pursuing Spirit Arts. This is a perfect opportunity. Care to join us as an assistant?"
Armin hesitated only for a breath, then gave a small nod.
"Gladly."
And just like that, Armin stepped through the barrier of the Spirit Tower…
