Morty Necromantis: sitting in a dark room, sipping his hot drink "So, Jihan, you want to probe his mind? Are you serious? Do you have a plan, or are you just playing psychoanalyst for fun?"
Jihan: looks at Morty with sincere determination.
Yoonso: confused "Uh… are you guys going to read his mind or what? This is like that movie where the hero tried to become a superhero, thinking he'd win the war that way. We're not superheroes…"
Morty Necromantis: sighs, realizing he has to intervene "Alright, let's just do this. Jihan has hidden abilities that could be useful. But remember, Jihan… what you see might be too much for your brain."
Jihan: nods resolutely "I'm ready.
Morty Necromantis: leans back in his chair "I wouldn't say I'm excited, but… let's give it a try. Greg, fire up the equipment."
Greg: creaks the door and starts setting up strange devices "This is gonna be a little awkward. I'm no psychotherapist, but something tells me this experience might be… unforgettable."
Yoonso: watches anxiously "Are you sure this is safe? I'd rather just call the police."
Morty Necromantis: glances at Yoonso without moving "We're not kids anymore, Yoonso. In any case, Jihan's right — his mind is hiding more than it seems. We need to know what he knows."
Jihan: sits in the chair, preparing for the experiment "Now, maybe something important will be revealed."
Morty Necromantis: sighs gloomily "And here I thought being a villain would be easier… Well, fine. Do it, Greg."
Greg: clicks buttons and starts the mind-reading machine "Connecting… expecting… something… mystical."
Yoonso: whispers "This isn't mystical. It's just… kinda scary."
Morty Necromantis: stares at the screen, waiting for any result "Get ready. If anything goes wrong, I'll still remain your enemy."
Suddenly, the machine emits a strange noise, and the screen begins to flicker. For a moment, everything goes dark. Jihan begins to feel strange pressure in his head.
The teacher appears next to Jihan, his form beginning to materialize in the air like a misty veil of consciousness.
Teacher: "Ah… Greetings, my pupil. I am Benjamin-Joseph-Leonardo-Stanislav-Prokopiy-Henry-Adalbert-Vladislav-Biomaximilian. It's just… too much of a name, but I've gotten used to it."
Jihan: stares at the teacher in shock "Uh… seriously? That's all your name?"
Teacher: looks at Jihan with a superior expression "Of course. I am an erudite, the greatest expert in ancient knowledge and… well, let's just say somewhat skilled in the art of magic, concerning… all these strange things. But you can just call me Lucian. Easier, right?"
Jihan: feeling awkward "Well, I guess… Lucian, did you want to say something about my thoughts? Why are you here?"
Teacher Lucian: laughs softly "I am here to help you figure out what's happened to your memories. We're almost there, but your mind is still tangled."
Yoonso: shouts in surprise "How is that possible?! Why did you suddenly appear out of thin air?"
Teacher Lucian: smiles at Yoonso "Little boy, so you will be part of this too? Fine. You can also be part of this strange journey, but in the future, you'll understand just how important it is."
Jihan: sighs and runs his hand across his forehead "Too many surprises for one day… Alright, Lucian, let's figure everything out."
Teacher Lucian: dryly "I don't like surprises, Jihan. I prefer clarity. You will learn the truth, but everything must be carefully structured."
Necromantis: Hmm... hmm...?
Necromantis looks at the scene with his teacher and coughs, deliberately loud enough to catch Lucian's attention.
Necromantis: coughs "Lucian… let's step aside for a moment."
Lucian: raises an eyebrow "Oh? What's the matter, my old Student?"
Necromantis: gestures toward the children "We need to talk. Away from their ears."
Lucian follows as they walk further away from Yoonso and Jihan.
Lucian: in a quieter tone "What's bothering you?"
Necromantis: crosses arms "You're treating them like they're already ready. They're just kids."
Lucian: chuckles "Their journey will unfold, trust me."
Necromantis: irritated "I'm in charge here, not you."
Lucian: smirks "You can't shield them from the truth forever, Necromantis."
Necromantis: snorts "I'm teaching them when they're ready."
Lucian: smirks again "Not everything will go according to your plans."
They share a look before returning to Yoonso and Jihan.
