Five people were seated on sofas and chairs around a glass table in the living room. There was an uneasy atmosphere between them, and two of the five were watching the person who was explaining the situation to the remaining two of them.They were Rudger and Amanda who were getting an explanation from Noah, while Luna, and Sylvia, were staring at Noah, who was still wearing bandages below his clothes.After Noah gave them an explanation of what happened last night, Rudger and Amanda both couldn't believe what they were hearing."I should have realized sooner, but I believed you were only going to use those things for any emergencies, and even if you were planning to steal something, it will be from someone else, and not someone so strong and influential in social circles.""I didn't had a choice, it was important, as I previously mentioned, he had a high position in that organisation and the more powerful those people were, the worse things would get for us and for humanity."Rudger
You sometimes have to die to live and live in order to die, which is only one of the many paradoxes that life contains.Sometimes the things you hate the most become so necessary for your survival that you have no choice but to embrace them.Whether such a life has any purpose has been a topic of discussion since ages.However, my respone to those fools who say that such a life had no meaning had not changed."You just haven't struggled in life, and not seen the real face of the world."Those are the only people who complain and try to force their ideology on others and then try to judge them based on their shallow mentality.Fortunately, Sylvia wasn't one of them since she knew that no power was inherently evil.Just like a kitchen knife that's used to cut vegetables can also be used to cut people.It doesn't mean that knife was evil.The people who abuse it are the ones who should be held accountable for their actions.However, you wouldn't have a choice but to feel repulsed if you
[Dark energy successfully received][Energy is condensed and sent to various soul parts][Soul state out of danger][Soul still in a frail condition][Corrupted soul parts were discovered. It is advised that the host treat it right away.]My vision was immediately welcomed with a huge number of notifications from the System as soon as I opened my eyes.With the help of which, I was able to determine the condition of my soul.Thankfully, the countdown had stopped, and Sylvia had helped me heal significantly.Speaking of Sylvia, I remembered what had transpired throughout the entire day as my treatment progressed yesterday, I turned my head to look at Sylvia who was cuddling Luna and me while being fast asleep.It was absolutely insane to be eaten by her; who would have thought our sweet, innocent Sylvia could also display those emotions."I need to quickly heal back to normal,"Now, I had to focus on achieving this before anything else since, if things continued the way they were, she
Even though the message was from an unfamiliar number, but after a brief search in my memory, I was able to quickly identify it.'Julie!'It was Julie's number, which she had given me the previous time, when she had visited me in the Academy's hospital."Who's it?"Sylvia inquired bemusedly after hearing my phone beep, so I simply turned my phone and showed it to her."Its Julie."After which, she started reading the message."Even so, why is she messaging you, and when did you make a promise to her?""Remember, when she visited me in the Academy's hospital, and I told her I would meet her later? I believe she is talking about that.""Tsk"Since Sylvia had little tolerance for Julie and didn't liked her at all, I could understand why she was upset about me going to meet Julie, especially given that I was still not fully recovered from the last fight."What is it that she needs from you? Did you need to really meet her?""Yo yo!, what are you two whispering?"Before I could respond to
"Huh?"Jimmy's words startled me, so I took a step back and examined the situation.'Why did I become so emotional all of a sudden?'It was a fact that these guys trash talked about Sylvia and Mia, and it was definitely a reason for me to get angry.But the way my subconscious mind responded to their words was absolutely ridiculous; it seemed as though I had lost control of my emotions, it similar to when I fought with August under the influence of [Dainsléif].Still, at least that time, there was a clear plan to kill him, so I made fun of him without thinking, but now I was actually about to crush this guy's head.My gaze shifted to the guy that was still unconscious.He was an F ranked at most, and my full powered punch with D+ ranked strength was enough to blow his skull to pieces.If I had done that, it would have been a huge disaster, where I would have been taken into custody right away, and I knew there was no way that I would be able to escape Academy with my current strength
Have you ever witnessed a third-rate villain attempt to scheme with their tiny brain, and fail miserably?This situation was a prime illustration of that.To sum it all up, Riaz gave these guys the order to bully Jimmy secretly a few days ago, so that Jimmy would be left with no choice but to take revenge for their harassment.After which, they decided to falsely accuse him, directly threaten him that, 'if he didn't listen to them, then they would report to Instructors that he used violence', and then they decided to blackmail him to sow discord between our group. Or force Jimmy to assist them in accusing me, Sylvia, and Mia (falsely) of bullying and fighting.And if Jimmy doesn't comply with their demands, they decided to torment him until he loses all his determination, at which point they will demand for a duel with him.These guys believed Jimmy was weak because he was literally at the bottom of the ranking, and they believed they could easily defeat him. As a result, they plann
My assumptions were correct because among the students of Aura, word of what happened at the Academy's restaurant spread like wildfire in a forest, in just one day.All the schemes that Sheldon & Carls exposed were being posted down on the Academy's student-only forum by anonymous accounts.Even many seniors got aware of this explosive news.And precisely as we had predicted, Riaz's reputation and image were destroyed in a single day, even without us doing anything.Riaz might have completely avoided punishment or at best only received a warning if we had allowed the instructors to take over this situation yesterday.But now that we chose to stay silent instead of reporting, the instructors wouldn't intervene unless we break a rule. Funnily enough, exposing someone's scheme openly was definitely not breaking rules, no matter how much the culprit suffer.And since it was not just us spreading the word, but also the entire student body of the Academy, Riaz was helpless, and had no choic
Achoo!Noah sneezed and rubbed his nose."Ha! Someone must be cursing me.""It must be him" Mia chided in."Who else could it be? or maybe some people, I have stole something from?""Did you really?"Mia looked at me curiously, as if wait to hear an interesting story."Definitely not."But I just raised my hands in surrender, causing Mia to grumble in disappointment, while Sylvia looked at me with her eyes narrowed, as if asking why I was taking that incident as reference here.Ahem!At which I just scratched my head in embarrassment, while Sylvia's gaze grew intense.Thankfully, before I could get more stares from Sylvia, Mia asked."Perhaps, but Riaz took no action to suppress the rumours?"'Good job Mia, nice save, I'll make sure to treat you nicely the next time.'I gave Mia a thumb up in my mind, though, it was also true that members of [Lost Night] must be cursing me because they not only lost [Twilight Orb] but also Luna.But now that I stop and think about it. They were not
"Why did you do it?"A question like a slap on the face, making her beware of the reality and the consequences of things she did in the future.Lora understood what Noah was implying here and what he wanted to ask her.However, looking at his indifferent gaze that was ready to rip her apart, and that wild, uncontrollable anger in his voice, hidden behind his calm face, she felt her heart beating loudly with fear.Her heart was beating so loudly that she could hear it beating outside her body.Still, she wasn't sure who Noah was, and she wasn't going to be sure until she got a good explanation, so she gritted her teeth and pretended not to know."What? I don't understand what you're talking about.""Why did you do it? Why did you betray me?"However, what she got in return was the same answer, this time much clearer in context, but in a more chilling voice, giving her palpitations all of a sudden.She understood after hearing those sharp, sword-like words piercing her heart and questio
Evening had arrived, but the sun was still a good distance away from the horizon, where it would set.The sun's bright light, mixed with a little orange-red hue, fell upon the green trees of the wilderness and cast a long black shadow of those trees on the ground.Noah sat on a branch of one of these trees, dressed in cameo military pants and a black T-shirt, waiting for Lora.After getting the confirmation from Rudger that Lora agreed to meet him here, he quickly got ready, left the dormitory, and secretly waited for Lora outside the academy's gates. When he saw Laura taking a taxi alone, he also left in another taxi that he had already booked on the way there.And the reason he came here in the wilderness earlier than her was because he tipped the driver to follow Lora's car, and only when they both were some distance away from the east boundary gate did he order the driver to drive at full speed, overtaking Lora's car and reaching here ahead of her.This was all done by him to conf
Noah couldn't help but let out a curse, though in a lower voice this time so as not to wake up Sylvia.He was rendered speechless by the mere thought of this bloody plot, and for a split second he once again felt as if someone was deliberately plotting against him; this feeling has only grown stronger since gaining Regressor's memory.Noah knew he was being paranoid, but the feeling of being plotted lingered in the back of his mind, even after denying it many times.However, he knew for a fact that the plotting wasn't harmful but was actually in his favour, which made Noah all the more suspicious about the cause and effect of these things.Being the type of person Noah is, once something gets in his mind, it's difficult for him to let it out.So, with the thought of someone plotting against him in his mind, he started thinking deeply about these things.* * * * * * * * * * * * *Noah POV: For example, if my assumptions were right, then it all started when I got regressor's everything
As soon as the light particles hit Noah, his eyes rolled backward for a split second, followed by the system's resistance to the light particles, but because it was just an automatic defence mechanism with only a few seconds to deal with the situation and the system itself was not powerful enough, its interference had no effect on the particles, which were absorbed into Noah's soul without wasting any seconds.The sudden situation startled Noah, who had no time to react and could only passively accept what was coming towards him.Even though Noah was shocked by the sudden influx of light particles, he could not do anything to resist their power, and he simply allowed himself to be overcome.[Warning!]Since the system couldn't do anything else, it kept showing red warning messages even though it couldn't do anything else.which, in addition to the splitting headache brought on by the light particles, almost made Noah unconscious due to pain.Despite all the warnings and pain, Noah was
Sitting in despair all alone on her chair, Lora felt the pain of losing her beloved again, which at this time was hundreds of times more sharp and painful than what she felt from the experience of her future self. She thought of the happy times spent with her loved one, now a distant memory."Why! Why is this happening to me again? Why did he have to die?"She roared alone, her painful cry echoing throughout the soundproof room.With tears streaming down her face, she could not understand why life was so cruel.Lora felt that there was nothing more left for her to do in this world."Where are you, Alvin? Where are you? Are you really dead? I don't believe it! I don't believe that guy. Please let me know where you are! Please come back to me."Like a madwoman, she cried her heart out, denying that her lover was dead and denying what Noah told her. Desperate and heartbroken, she kept calling out to him, pleading with him to come back to her.Sadly, the reality was in front of her, and n
In a well furnished modern room with minimalistic decoration and furniture, a girl was sitting on a chair, blankly staring out of the floor-to-ceiling window in a daze. She seemed to be lost in her thoughts, perhaps pondering some deep issue that had been troubling her.No one knows what was going on inside her head.But this sadness inside her consciousness was drowning her whole body, making her suffocate every second. She was trying to be calm and peaceful, but deep down inside her there was an abyss of despair, loneliness, and emptiness that had been gnawing away at her.Her heart was heavy and her soul was hurting, and there was nothing that could be done to help her.You guessed it right.She was Lora, who came back to her dorm a few minutes later after Noah left.Lying on the chair as if there was no strength left in her body, she didn't know how much she had cursed this fate, and no matter how much she tried to stop her tears, they just wouldn't stop.In this moment of immense
'I told you about his death and other things, and you only cried and went mad, but as soon as I told you the location of his death, you coughed up blood and fell unconscious?'What kind of bloody play was this? Noah had no idea. Lora's strange response baffled Noah, who was unable to make sense of it.And for the time being, it wasn't the right time to think deeply about it, because no matter what grudges Noah had with Lora, at the end of the day, she was sitting with him here in the cafe, and as a good student, it was his responsibility to help her.That's why, as soon as Lora's body felt unconscious, Noah rushed up to her and helped her sit on the chair as he splashed some water from the water jug on another table.When the waitress saw that Lora was in trouble, she also ran over to help them."What happened here?"Lora slowly opened her eyes as the waitress asked, and Noah described the situation to the waitress, who finally felt relieved and then advised Lora to go to the hospital
This time she couldn't hold on anymore, and without a care about face, she suddenly lashed out at him."Don't you dare lie to me, Noah Blackstorm, I will fight you to death here."Tears streamed down her face as she spoke, her voice shakingHer eyes got blooshot as she threatened him, but her heart was pounding rapidly because of the sudden shocking news.However, she couldn't believe it, and she doesn't want to believe it. Nevertheless, the truth remained the same. Her heart sank as she realized that what he said was true, and she felt the full weight of it all."It's what you heard; he's dead; otherwise, why do you think I'll be looking after his mother?"Noah's words were like a bolt of thunder that fell on Lora's head, shaking her whole world. She felt a wave of sadness wash over her as the reality of the situation sunk in.Her legs got tired, and she slumped down on her seat in grief and disbelief."No, no, it can't be; it can't be; it's impossible! How can he die? It's impossib

He couldn't believe his eyes"How?"He couldn't help but ask himself over and over, but no matter how hard he tried to think, he wasn't able to find an appropriate answer for the information that was in front of him.However, unaware of Noah's inner turmoil, Lora was startled by his sudden aggressive behaviour, as she thought that he was really mad at her for telling lies, and she involuntarily shrieked back in fear from his suffocating aura that was directed towards her, ready to rip her apart on a moment's notice.Then, as if remembering something,
