Inside the Secret Plane

And then, Eli saw the three children.

One was dressed in tattered clothes, but his eyes were bright. One was wearing a small white dress, looking pitiful. The last one was always hunched over, looking sneaky.

These were the three people with the mage's talent that Eli had chosen.

"From today onwards, the three of you will be my students. You will inherit a part of my legacy and explore a ruin for me." Eli was very clear. "Oh right, let me introduce myself. I'm Layton, a level 3 acolyte." Eli added.

At first, Eli wanted to say that he was a mage, but after some thought, he decided to be more cautious. After all, he was not facing Knights, but future wizard apprentices.

"Alright, teacher!"

Before they came, someone had already explained the situation to them. Eli thought he would encounter trouble, but he didn't expect the three of them to agree so easily.

...

Three years passed in the blink of an eye.
