“Uh … So, what’s this?” he asked, since he couldn’t feel anything from this drawing. He knew there was something magical going on there, but there was no apparent effect. Silvia grinned broadly. “Just throw it in the air for a moment and see.”

  Not sure what to think, Ryan just did as told. As he did, the sheet of paper immediately started folding itself up into the shape of a complex origami dove. It landed on the bed, perching on top of the metal pyramid. It tilted its head left and right, looking at Ryan curiously.

  Immediately, Ryan stared at Silvia. “Wait, you can do this sort of thing?” he asked, and she grinned smugly.

  “Yup! Spent all day observing different birds, and this is the best one so far!” she exclaimed happily, and Ryan smiled lightly as he held his hand out to the paper dove. It carefully hopped onto his finger.

  “This is impressive. Do you think I could take the rest of them down to the folks in the hidden village? Just to set free a few birds?” Ryan asked, and Silvia quickly nodded.

  “Sure! They don’t last super long, and most of them are pretty clunky, but … it might still be pretty!”

  Ryan looked up from the dove and back to Silvia. “So, what’s the point of this? It’s cool, but I don’t know how helpful it would be.”

  Silvia smiled awkwardly. “That’s the part I still need to figure out. I’d like to try and let you connect to it like you do to the spirits, so you can control it and maybe see through its eyes or something like that. That way, you could do recon or distract enemies and stuff.”

  Ryan widened his eyes. “That … would actually be really damn helpful, yeah. You know what? Let’s give that a shot, maybe try to level up your Insight and art skills to level 10, and maybe reach level 10 overall so you could get a new class that could help with that sort of thing,” he suggested, and Silvia immediately agreed. In this group, Ryan was the expert in terms of classes, skills, and everything system-related, after all.

  “But won’t that take a while? Do we have that time? The White Shadow Society is acting right now, right?” Modak pointed out, and Ryan scratched the back of his head.

  “Yeah, but … Runar said I should stay out of all that for now until I’m stronger. He’ll take care of the imminent stuff … And though it’s really annoying, I do have to admit that I can’t really help with stuff at the scale he’s working right now.” Ryan groaned loudly, looking to the side. “But even if we could, it’s not like we can actually go right away, anyway.”

  Silvia looked at Ryan, tilting her head slightly. “Huh? Why not?”

  Modak smiled wryly. “I mean, my arm and ribs are broken, so it’s not like I can fight right now.”

  “Ah … yeah, okay, that’s fair; I forgot about that.”

  Ryan narrowed his eyes, looking at his friends. “I … I know you guys also have a ton going on right now, so you might have forgotten, but you do know that class is starting again on Monday, right?”
