Chapter 134 - Sanji (2) (1/2)

(Jane's PoV)

Sanji fidgeted a bit, looking like a nervous little girl in front of her crush. I had no memory about Sanji acting this way. No matter what happened, Sanji was a strong man. I barely remembered anything that could make him devastating.

What had happened to him actually?

”I'm fine. Sorry to make you see me in this state. I'll visit you again next week after I feel better.” Even the way he smiled had changed.

I looked around his small room. There was no sigh he was being haunted, or shadows disturbing him. I needed to remind myself that Sanji was an excellent exorcist, how could shadows and ghosts disturb him?

So, what caused his change?

”His spiritual flow is in disorder. That's why he looks like it.” I heard Siji's voice talking from my back.

I frowned. ”What happened?” I asked. Disorder spiritual flow? What could be the cause?

As I voiced out the question, Sanji must be thinking that I was asking him, but Siji knew best that I was actually asking him.

Sanji sighed. ”Come inside.” He turned around and the way he walked made my heart ached.

How come he walked like an old man? Staggering and slow.

I followed him and sat on the only chair in the room while Sanji took a seat on his own bed, leaning against the wall then releasing a sigh of relief. All the while, Siji kept talking to me.

”I guess he joined the recruitment to be General.” He said. He said 'he guess' but I was sure he had known it from the beginning.

”What general? What recruitment?” This time I used our special link to deliver my question. I didn't want Sanji to be suspicious of me.

”Well, seeing the effect it had on him, I guess he was recruited to join the test for General of White Army.” Siji answered in a low tone.

See? He had known from the start that Sanji joined the recruitment, that was why he said Sanji was fine. Now everything made sense. As the Adviser of White Army, how come he didn't know who joined the test?

But, why didn't I get the notice? When did the test start? As the Master of White Army, why was I clueless about it? Wasn't a General a vital part of the army? Then, how come I was not noticed about the test? Or had it always been this way since the beginning?

”Milady, the test itself is not something we can do whenever we can. We only get the sign from the universe and prepare the necessities. Every candidate is brought to the test location by the will of the universe itself. Just like how you're chosen to be the Master, we also don't know who would be selected to follow the test.” As if knowing what I had in mind, Siji explained patiently.

I still had a lot in mind about the test, but I decided to wait until I could find the way to help Sanji. ”Then, tell me, is there any way to fix his spiritual flow?”

”Unless he finds the peace of his mind, his spiritual flow will always be in disorder.” Siji replied calmly.

Heh, the peace of his mind? It sounded easy but I knew dealing with mental, mind, or spiritual was never easy.

”What exactly did he do that he upset his spiritual flow?”
