She's the older sister of the yandere Male Lead in a BL novel

chapter 20

“Take that.”

I pointed to the box neatly placed at the side. In the meantime, I was organizing the gifts that Frey had sent me. I put them in a different box.

Since he’s already here, I was going to ask him to take my stuff back.

I could ask other people to do it, but should I do that when I already have the best luggage boy?

There were a lot of jewels, so it’s a bit heavy. But for Lisandro, it’ll be as light as a feather.

“Oh, and...”

“Yeah?”

“Congratulations on becoming the youngest swordmaster. I’m really proud of you.”

At my big smile, Lisandro blinked in a daze. But he soon ducked his head as though he was embarrassed by the compliment.

I couldn’t help but burst into laughter because his red ears could clearly be seen poking out through his white hair.

“What about Frey?”

“Hm?”

“Is there any word that he’s coming back?”

I asked just in case he sent a letter to Lisandro.

I got to ask this naturally because those two had become best friends over the years.

Well, I’m not actually sure if Lisandro thinks of him as a best friend, but at the very least unlike when they were younger, the relationship between them really was just friendship.

“Why are you so curious about that guy?”

This obstinate Lisandro. In the past, I thought that he just didn’t want me to get closer to Frey, but I realized that he was generally just wary of the men around me.

“Can’t I be curious?”

“No.”

“Tell me before I hit you.”

“...There’s nothing about his return. He’s probably training his mental fortitude, so we won’t be able to get in touch.”

Certainly, he also wrote in his letters that he’ll be training. I looked at Lisandro with expectation, waiting for him to tell me more.

“He entered into a contract with a spirit king. He can’t do that with a normal mind, so he shortened his stay at the academy from five to three years. I mean, he’s a great guy, but his mental strength needs constant training. So we can’t contact him at all when he’s in the middle of that training.”

He explained Frey’s situation in detail, contrary to the seemingly disinterested tone of his voice.

“What was that again. I heard that he can also enter contracts with spirits other than the spirit king of fire. That’s why he’s working harder on his mental training.”

“Is that possible?”

Surprised, I asked with my eyes widened.

To reiterate, it’s really not easy to enter a contract with a spirit king.

As far as history had recorded, elementalists were only able to enter a contract with one spirit.

No, it didn’t really matter if they could enter a contract with more than one spirit. Most of the time, the human mind wouldn’t be able to hold out and they’d go crazy.

That’s why for the sake of their sanity, elementalists only signed with one spirit.

With the case of lower-ranked spirits and intermediate spirits, it didn’t matter if there were one or two, as long as they weren’t too strong. But if there were four of them with just one elementalist, their mentality wouldn’t be able to hold out.
