Jenny seemed a little nervous when faced with this question, but she did not hide it and chose to tell the truth.
"A friend told me that there's someone in this school who can solve the problem in my body."
Rob and Lolo looked at each other and saw a trace of surprise in each other's eyes. The reason Jenny came to Siames to study was to find the owner of the golem. It seemed like that guy was hiding a lot of secrets.
"A problem in your body?" The rookie, The Brave, was puzzled. From the time they spent together, although Jenny's body was not strong, she should be healthy and didn't seem to have any problems.
"Well, to be precise, it's Peter's problem. He said that he's tired of being with me and wants to find a way to separate us completely," Jenny said timidly.
"Peter? Who's that? " Genji felt like his brain wasn't enough. Who was this Peter who came out of nowhere, and what did he have to do with Jenny's body?
The future supreme magus, Your Honor, suddenly interrupted, "Is this Peter you're talking about a very talented person in magic? Hmm, probably at the level of a third or fourth grade magician, but with a bad temper and a strong desire to attack?"
"Eh, have you guys met him before?" Jenny's eyes widened, and as if she thought of something, she hurriedly explained, "Peter's actually not a bad person. He's just a little wary of strangers, and he's always protecting me in times of danger."
"He really has twin souls?" This time, even Rob had a look of surprise on his face.
"What's twin souls?" Lolo asked.
"Do you still remember what I told you about the Shadow Creatures that invade a target's body and take over their body? Twin Souls are even rarer. They are born with two original souls in their body."
"Is … is that even possible?"
The quasi-magus did not answer the question and turned to Jenny instead. "Is Peter your brother or sister?"
"Peter is my younger brother, although he always says that he's my elder brother." The girl's gaze involuntarily softened at the mention of her younger brother, but as she spoke, her tone became solemn again. "When I introduced Peter to others when I was young, everyone reacted very strangely. They always showed horror and disgust, insisting that Peter didn't exist. Even my parents didn't believe me and even invited a bishop from the temple to baptize me a second time. Even when I let Peter control my body and let him appear directly in front of everyone, they still stubbornly denied his existence. They even locked me in a room alone and threatened me not to play any more pranks."
"But I wasn't worried because I still had Pete with me. But from then on, I gradually realized that they didn't intend to accept Pete. It doesn't matter. It's enough that we have each other. I spent my childhood with Pete, but after the age of eight, for some reason, he suddenly became silent and appeared less and less."
Rob sighed. "He's doing it for your own good. Twin souls are very rare because it's very unstable to have two souls in a body at the same time. Even if it appears, it won't last more than five years. It usually ends with one being devoured by the other. From your description, Peter's soul is obviously much stronger than yours. He reduced his contact with you because he's worried that he might accidentally devour your soul one day."
Jenny was startled. "So that's how it is?"
"If I'm not wrong, your brother and you are twins, but something happened to your brother during the development process. Perhaps he was absorbed by you before he was fully formed. The soul that left the body would dissipate, but after your body absorbed the embryo, in a sense, it can also be regarded as his body, so the soul also survived in this way. However, your problems have only just begun. Your brother gave up his body to you and slept most of the time, which maximized the coexistence of the two of you. But as time passed, your respective souls became stronger and stronger, so the body became more and more difficult to accommodate the two of you. Peter said that he wants to separate from you not because he's tired of being with you, but in fact, it's difficult to maintain your current situation," Your Honor, the future supreme magus, said calmly.
"Can you help them?" Genji found the girl's story inconceivable, but at the same time, he was filled with sympathy for the latter.
"I know very little about the soul and life, so I'm afraid I can't be of much help. However, there is indeed someone in Siamus who can solve your problem. It just so happens that we're also looking for that person. There are some things we want to ask him. If we can find him, I'll tell him about your situation."
Jenny was pleasantly surprised. "Thank you. I've been giving you trouble along the way. I don't know how I can help you." With that said, she lowered her head in embarrassment.
"You want to help? There's a chance right now. " Rob paused. "As you can see, we've encountered a problem. Something strange has sneaked into the arena. You're the only one who's seen it, so we need to get some information related to it from you. You obviously encountered some danger when you disappeared that day, so Peter took over your body. Although you don't have any memories of the next three days, Peter, who has control over your body, obviously knows something. Do you have any way to contact him?"
Jenny smiled bitterly. "Our contact was severed after I was eight years old. Since then, I can't call him anymore. He will only take control of my body in times of danger. After that, we still haven't interacted."
"No, he should be able to send messages to you through other means." The future supreme magus Your Honor recalled the second round of the game by the lake that night. Now, it seemed that Jenny's choice of the drawer with the ticket was not a coincidence. However, the girl did not seem to realize all this. In fact, it was impossible for two souls in the same body to completely sever their connection. Peter must have been silently paying attention to the outside world. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to take over this body in time when danger approached.
Jenny tilted her head and thought for a moment. "Your inference is indeed very reasonable, but if Peter doesn't want to come out and meet people, there's nothing I can do. Unless I can return to a state where my life is in danger …" The girl's eyes lit up and shifted her gaze to Lolo's longsword.
Her action startled the other three. Rob hurriedly said, "There's no need to go through so much trouble. You should still have some kind of connection with Peter in your subconscious. You can tell him our purpose. After that, you don't need to give your body to him. We can just play a little game."
"What little game?"
