An astonished expression could be seen in the gleam of the other male's eyes. However, it was not long later that he cleared his throat, “Hmm, that’s good for you.” He then followed up immediately with the formal introduction of the new recruit, cutting short the brief slip of emotion on his face. “Well, Sagara-san, let me introduce you to Mister Orion Conman.” He said, gesturing at the youngest in the room, “He’s been recruited to assist the students’ study from a letter of recommendation from someone,” The man explained vaguely while Orion, just like yesterday, reached his hand out to shake Heath’s hand. “I’ll be in your care, Sagara-san~!” a silly grin adorned his face as Heath took his hand and shook it. Putting aside Orion’s demeanor, Heath noticed that Lillian was giving him a stare from where she stood, not so far behind the young man. ‘I guess they wanted me to keep quiet about yesterday.’ He gave a nod, both to answer the greeting and to the secret agent. Then again, befor

Perry took his leave as soon as the bell rang, stating that he heard someone using the coffee machine and wanted some for himself. The next class was Orion’s anyway, so he left the students in the right person's care. "Er... Orion-sensei?" Nia called out after their new teacher failed to touch, let alone finish off their target. It was embarrassing that he missed his target, but he blamed the fact that he hadn't been given any gun and was armed only with a flimsy special dagger, his least favorite weapon. Either way, the mentioned man was too aggravated to acknowledge the call as he put the dagger back into its sheath. On the other hand, Nia, who kept getting ignored, was also starting to get annoyed. Thankfully, before she could explode on their new teacher, their class rep, Jitsuo, stepped in. "Class is starting. Shouldn't we go back in?" "Class?" he replied coldly, "Oh, right." Lighting up another cigar, he didn't even spare a glance as he said, "Just make it study hall or somet

Heath had woken up rather sluggishly and groggily earlier that morning before everything that happened today even started at school. He must admit that lately he's been sleeping less and less, since he used the time trying to go through his phone to find out about the state of Verdena and, if he's lucky, to find his family. After all, 'Heath' exists in this world. Despite the circumstances, he's not the only similarity between this world and his previous one either. His parents have similar names, and even his mother's face looked exactly the same in her photos. So, really, there are possibilities that his dear family whom he cherished a lot might be here as well even though the city and place names aren't the same as the ones he remembered. No, actually, that very thought was the one that bothers him the most to the point that he's been frantic in his search, still to no avail. The fact that the location names aren't the same, but he could still recognize some people within the ci

"It’s okay,” seeing how frustrated the younger was, Heath pats his shoulder, consoling him, “Everyone makes mistakes. At least now you know, everyone here is giving their all to make things work," he points out. "Not only in our secret goal, but also for their future." "I see," Orion mumbled as his fists slowly loosen up. “The future, huh…?” The water’s still murky to his senses, but Heath was somewhat sure that the guilt coming from the blonde was not entirely due to the present situation. Orion felt rather aloof now. "Well, thanks for showing me this, He— Sagara-san." The brunet arched a brow, now he couldn’t help but tease the younger, "Aw shucks~ what did I do to deserve this demotion? I thought we're getting close already, lil’ bro?" To which, Orion scoffed, looking away from the other, "And who gave you the permission to call me your brother?" his voice is a bit lighter than before, therefore Heath continued. "Hey now, aren’t we family here? So, why not?" He chuckled at the

While Heath just sheepishly grins, Lillian, along with the others, can only make a face, for they had witnessed this civilian escape from a seasoned assassin, while Heath's expression seemed disconnected from reality. ‘Out of all excuses, sleepwalking??’ The three of them, being closest to the brunet, had also agreed that they witnessed something unusual. Heath's eyes were dimly glowing, as if his body was possessed. Now, the brunet implied that it wasn't the first time it happened, suggesting he accepted the phenomenon as 'sleepwalking'. It all seemed absurd. That's precisely why they're not in the hospital right now. Instead, the infirmary has become their makeshift courtroom. I mean, who knows if there’s another variation of Perry, right? "Aha ha ha... I mean, I don’t know what else should I tell you? Even if you went for my official record, I bet all that you can find is the mundanes," Heath snickered, “or, probably, you’d find it to be way too squeaky clean. Who knows? I neve
