"Jinra," William asked, his curiosity piqued, "are you, by any chance, an enchanter?" He recalled Professor Sebastian's mention of a master enchanter named Jinra and couldn't help but wonder if it was more than just a coincidence.
Jinra, his eyebrows raised in surprise, chuckled. "Indeed I am," he admitted, "though I wouldn't consider myself a master. How did you know?"
William, ever quick with an explanation, gestured vaguely towards the bags strapped to their horses. "I noticed some of the items you packed," he said, hoping his excuse sounded plausible. "They seemed...enchantment-related."
"Keen eyes, young man," Jinra said, a hint of pride in his voice. "But be warned, our journey will be arduous. The academy is in a remote location, and you must be prepared for the challenges that await."
William, familiar with the harsh climate of Snowpeak Mountain, was intrigued. "What do you mean?" he asked.
