Alex left the forest with a heavy heart.
He was still thinking about the incident with Lucius when a faint shimmering light suddenly blocked his path.
Alex's eyes widened in shock as this light then transformed into a fox girl with three tails.
"L-Latifa?" Alex asked, half wondering if his mind was playing tricks on him.
The fox girl looked at the young man with a complicated expression before speaking her mind.
"I saw everything that happened," Latifa said. "I need your help, Alex Stratos."
"What kind of help do you need?" asked Alex in curiosity, still wondering why the sleeping beauty of the academy appeared in front of him.
"Please come with me and help save Lucius," Latifa answered. "The one you saw in that illusion wasn't the real him."
Those words snapped Alex out of the joy of being approached by a pretty lady.
"Then why did you come to find me? You should have looked for a Professor and asked them to help you," Alex pointed out in a serious tone.
