Adrian's Awakening: Wake up in the magical world

20

Adrián looked at the director firmly. "It is not a precipitous decision, director. It is an opportunity. If fate has brought me here, until this academy, even this new world with these skills, sincerely, it is for a reason. I cannot ignore it, I cannot allow myself to refuse help these people for when they have come from far to look for me to implore my help. "

Ally, still clinging to his arm, shook his head. "But Adrián, we don't know what kind of world is that. It can be a trap. It can be a worse place than we imagine. You don't have to do it alone."

Han Longwei observed the scene in silence, allowing emotions to overflow without the slightest to interrupt. Then, he took a step forward, his presence is looking to weigh on the air itself. "I will not force anyone to come against their will. But reality remains the same: every second that passes, my world falls more in despair and destruction. And if no one stops it, its suffering will extend beyond its Borders. "

The director Roxanne pressed her lips, clearly facing an internal conflict. "If what you say is true, and if there really is such a threat even if you have already shown us in that hologram ... then it is my responsibility as director to protect my students, even from themselves. Adrián, if you decide to go, you will not do it without preparation, even if you are one of my best students.

Adrián felt relieved to hear that. I knew that the director could not stop him, but he didn't want to leave without her blessing.

Han Longwei nodded. "I will give you three days to prepare. At that time, you must refine your skills and decide if you really want to embark on this mission. There will be no turning once you cross the threshold."

Ally released Adrián's arm and stared at him, his face reflected the mixture of concern and sadness. "If you are going to do it ... then at least let it help you. I will not allow you to go without making sure you can come back."

Adrián smiled slightly. "Thank you, Ally."

The director Roxanne exhaled with resignation. "In that case, we will train tirelessly until your departure. And I hope, Adrián, that you understand the weight of your choice."

Adrián looked at the purple sky that still darkens the day. I understood it better than ever. And there was no going back.

Immediately, Han disappeared from his sight, heaven returned to normal, and the tension atmosphere was decreasing, and when they were already completely alone, Roxanne felt the need to finally speak with confidence. 

“Adrián, love. Please think about it. You have never traveled to another dimension, you did it when you reincarnated, but that was at the time of your death in your past life. Now, you will do it alive, we do not know with certainty what would be the consequences that this could bring to you where you do without training, ”said his mother with concern.

Adrián looked at her with understanding eyes, he was stubborn, but he knew that when his adoptive mother worried about him, it was more than just a whim. In addition, what the director Roxanne commented was true, Adrián has not yet experienced what the trip to other dimensions is, to another world, and who knows if doing so has its consequences.

“Mother, you're right. But I am no longer a child to have to take care of me so much, besides, not that I am the best student in the academy? You have said it, I am very good in everything, my magic is increasingly powerful, as well as my combat skills have increased. I will be able to meet this mission, as I have done with the drills in the combat classes. I have not left or wounded, much fewer dead. Please, you can trust me. Long these three days enter me before leaving, and I promise you that I will take glory and peace to that new world that they are needing so much, ”he said, speaking with great security in his voice, looking at his adoptive mother with eyes decisive ”. 

Her mother said nothing more, she trusted her boy, for something, had made the decision to help him and adopt him as his blood when he met him the day he just came to this world. 

On the other hand, Adrián looked at Ally, the girl looked at him very afraid, but at the same time, she was sure that he would know what decision to make about the new mission that has been designated by things of destiny.

Ally breathed deeply, containing the tears that threatened to escape from his eyes. I didn't want Adrián to leave, but he understood that stopping him would be impossible. Since he knew him, it had always been like this: impulsive, determined and with a sense of duty that sometimes touched the recklessness.

"If you're really going to go, then promise me," she said, in her trembling but firm voice.

Adrián tilted his head, intrigued. "What thing?"

“Promise me you'll return. It doesn't matter what happens, it doesn't matter how long it takes, but returns, ”he whispered.

Adrián felt a lump in his throat. I could not promise something that it was not sure to be able to fulfill, but I didn't want to see her suffer more than necessary. So, instead of empty words, he took his hand gently and nodded.

"I will do my best."

It wasn't the answer Ally wanted, but it was the most honest Adrian could give him.

The director Roxanne crossed his arms, her sharp eyes reflected endless emotions. “Well, if so, then let's not waste time. Adrián, from tomorrow, you will train without rest. Not only in combat, but also in interdimensional survival. Traveling between worlds is not the same as a battle inside the academy or the simulations you see in combat classes. The shock of energies, adaptation to new magical laws, the possible corruption of vital flow ... all that could kill you if you are not prepared. ”

Adrián felt even more determined. "I understand. I will not fail. "

Roxanne dedicated a last look and then moved away, leaving Adrián with Ally. The silence that remained between them was heavy, but not uncomfortable.

Finally, Ally released a sigh. "I guess this is what it means to be a hero, right?"

Adrián smiled with some melancholy. “I don't know if I'm a hero. I just know that I can't stay with crossed arms if fate calls me. "

She hugged him strongly, as if trying to record her heat in her memory. "Then ... you better survive, idiot."

Adrián laughed, corresponding to the hug, although he would have wanted at that time, Ally would have kissed him for the first time. "I'll try."

“We are going to my house, my parents wait for us for dinner. You have to return early if you want to rest well to have good energy tomorrow in your first training outside the daily classes of the academy, ”said Ally when he separated from the hug, but did not want to let go of Adrián's arms, his eyes looked at those of the Boy with such love that he put Adrian so nervous at that time to kiss her without thinking and before she was too late to do so.
