… What should I do?

  He said he is with the Human Spirit. The Human Spirit is the largest group of spiritual users in the world. My last 4… No, 5 Saviors had to deal with them.

  From my point of view, the best you can do is to just do as he says and go with him; you can't really defeat him right now… Not only because of the difference in power but also because you are still hurt from the last fight.

  Having heard Zitziki's opinion, I decide that the best option is to just raise my hands and explain myself.

  "Hans" "O-Ok, ok, don't worry, I won't do anything; just let me explain myself."

  "Man" "Don't worry, that's precisely what I want you to do. I just want you to come with me and answer a few questions."

  After saying that, the man walks towards me and takes out some bandages; he then quickly covers the injuries on my leg, arm, and knuckles.

  When he finishes doing that, he stands up.

  "Man" "Follow me."

  He starts walking, so I stand up and follow him like he told me to… I really don't want to test my luck right now…

  "Hans" "Where are we going?"

  "Man" "...? To the Spiritual Academy, obviously."

  "Hans" "... Oh."

  Should I tell him that I just unlocked my spiritual ability, Zitziki?

  Do whatever you want; I don't care.

  … Dammit, he goes from useful and informative to useless and disconnected way too easily…

  You do know I can hear you, right?

  … Whatever… The Human Spirit… Is it good or bad?

  I guess if I had to choose, I would say they are good… But like, I don't really care whether you choose to side with or against them, or even neither of those two; I'll support you as long as you make things interesting.

  Did any of the past 5 Saviors join The Human Spirit?

  Yeah, two of them did, Aisling and Fayola.

  …

  Oh, right, you don't know anything about them… Aisling was your senior, my last Savior before you, and Fayola was my Savior from the XVIII Century… Oh! Aisling was the one that had his spiritual ability in his dreams that I mentioned before.

  Well, I'm still not sure if I should tell them or not or if I should join them, but it doesn't sound like a bad idea right now.

  By the way, where is this?

  The tale has been illicitly lifted; should you spot it on Amazon, report the violation.

  … What do you mean, where?

  Like, what country?

  You don't know? Weren't you watching me for a time before choosing me?

  I don't really pay attention to that kind of thing… And we, the gods, don't really differentiate languages, be they spoken or written.

  … We are in Spain.

  Oooh, that's good. Well, I knew that it was one of the options when that guy mentioned the Academy.

  Oh right, I was going to ask you about that. What is this 'spiritual academy'?

  Well, it's a place where they teach you to use your spiritual ability, obviously… There are five of them in the world, or there were five in the time of my last Savior… It wasn't too long ago, so it probably still is the same.

  I knew that Spain is one of the countries that has one, so I had it as one of my options.

  But why Spain? And which are the other countries?

  There are some countries that have… Let's say 'more' or 'better' spirituality than others; Spain is one of them.

  The other academies are in Chile, Canada, Germany, and China.

  Chile and Canada were chosen for the same reason as Spain, their high spirituality; in fact, both are the countries with the best spirituality in their respective continents.

  Germany and China were chosen because a high number of important families and people are from these countries. In Asia, both Japan and South Korea would have been better options spiritually speaking, and in Europe, you still had Portugal, Norway, England, and… Well, you get the gist.

  Do Oceania and Africa have bad spirituality?

  When the academies were formed, Oceania and Africa weren't in a good position to have their own academies… But New Zealand and South Africa have good spirituality.

  Before I can ask anything else, the man stops walking and talks to me.

  "Man" "We are here… I'll take you to the Principal so you can have a chat with him."

  "Hans" "O-Ok."

  He then enters the building, and I follow him until we reach a door that has the label 'Principal' marked on it.

  He opens the door, and I see a man sitting behind a desk; you don't have to be a genius to guess that he is the Principal.

  "Principal" "Please, have a seat, Manuel called me before and told me the situation."

  He did? Well, I wasn't paying attention in the way; I was speaking with Zitziki…

  I take a seat while taking a look at the principal; he seems to be in his late fifties, he has graying brown hair, and he is showing signs of baldness. He is in good physical shape, the broad, muscular type. Oh, he also has a handlebar mustache.

  "Principal" "My name is Alvis; I'm the principal of the Spanish spiritual academy… I'll go straight to the point: what happened in that alley?"

  "Hans" "I heard some weird noises coming from the alley, and when I went to see what was going on, I saw the man I killed tearing apart a woman's body… When he saw me, he decided to attack me, so I had to kill him in self-defense."

  … I'm still somewhat shaken about that, honestly… I've never killed anyone before…

  "Manuel" "Ok, but who are you? We don't have any record of you. To which group are you allied?"

  That's a bit similar to what the other man asked me in the alley…

  "Hans" "... I'm not allied to anyone… This is the first time I use these powers, and I honestly don't know what's going on…"

  Principal Alvis is obviously surprised by what I just said.

  "Alvis" "Are you saying this is the first time you've used your spiritual ability?"

  "Hans" "Yeah, I just knew what to do instinctively."

  "Manuel" "That explains why we don't have any record of you… I must say, if you are telling the truth, you have excellent instincts; you adapted quickly to your spiritual ability."

  "Alvin" "... What do you want to do now? If you wish, we can touch your spirit and make you forget everything that happened tonight."

  This could be useful; your memories wouldn't really get erased thanks to your status as Savior, so if you want to go against the Human Spirit or do whatever you want… This is your chance.

  …

  After thinking for a couple of seconds, I make my choice.

  "Hans" "I…"
