"You can also choose to stay anywhere, it won't matter. The right Familiars will flock to you, so don't worry about it."
"Then I choose to—"
Before Anabelle could finish her statement which I already suspected was going to be an attempt to stick close to me during this Ceremony, I quickly fired back.
"I would like it if you guys didn't stick close to me though, since the Mana Density will be thinner around me. We should all stay apart from each other so we won't rob one another of the surrounding Mana."
With this smart and accurate protest, I silenced Anabelle. None of my two comrades had any complaints about it, so I took it as acceptance.
Suddenly, I felt two familiar presence and heard their footsteps as their feet trampled on the lush grass.
"It's been a while… Jared Leonard Alphonse Sereth."
A smile formed on my face. Only one person would choose to use my name at length like that. Plus, even as they had approached, I already knew it was them.
