Einer could hardly believe what he was seeing. His consciousness rose to the top of his head, and his eyes did not blink when he saw someone at the door of his room, leaning back and smiling faintly. "Hi, Einer. It's been a long time since last we met, huh?" Einer trembled, all over himself. Einer tried to get up from his bed, wanting to run as fast as he could before she disappeared. So dumbfounded, Einer couldn't even pronounce the girl's name and ended up stammering. "Leonor...." "Einer, stay in your bed." "Eleonor...." Eleonor rushed over to Einer, while Einer ran with trembling legs and fell down. Eleonor caught Einer in her arms, letting him burst into tears. "Eleonor~ I must be dreaming. Eleonor, it's really you." Eleonor smiled fondly, hugging Einer tightly. "It's me, Einer." Einer was so happy, tears of joy could not stop flowing down his face. After 15 years of separation, not knowing whether a part of him was still alive or not; Einer wandered like a lo
Einer went to college today. There was no training, no examination over his body, and he also had nothing else to do while everyone in the house had their own business, including Eleonor. They had planned about seeing Eleonor's power, but two days later, Eleonor left for an order from Oliver. Einer felt sad and lonely, but Eleonor promised to return soon so Einer would also go about his day with vigor. Passing through the corridor crowded with students, Einer now no longer hesitated to raise his head. No one dared to talk about him, look at him sarcastically or bully him anymore. Usually, Einer had met Chris one step after entering the corridor. Some people, especially the women, were looking at Einer as if he was an interesting topic to talk about. It wasn't a look of disgust, and Einer saw some of them smiling at Einer. It was more annoying than when they insulted Einer secretly. But Einer kept walking towards his class. "After entering Perceus' house, you rarely go to
"Stop it." Chris instantly stopped when he heard Einer's voice commanding him. Strangely, he could not move his body and stared at Einer, only to be transfixed with an overwhelming feeling of goosebumps. "If you touch her, I'm really going to end you here," Einer said, his eyes unblinking and staring at Chris so intently. While Garden was quite surprised that Einer decided to use his mind manipulation on Chris. But at least it was more of a relief than Einer using his telekinesis on the objects around them and attracting attention, although Garden was still a little worried and doubted whether Einer could use his power properly at this time, so that it would not make people suspicious. "What? Why is my body...." "Do you feel it now? That feeling of dread," said Einer, interrupting Chris. "Stop making a mess, Garden already warned you well but you even hit her. That's really bad, I didn't know there were humans as bad as you in this world, Chris. You are the worst of the worst
"Do you remember me? I'm so glad...! Because ever since that night, I've been remembering you all the time." Einer was quite surprised, and had no idea that he would meet Chelsea Wood at his college. But Chelsea was dressed casually and carrying her totbag, as if she was a student in this place as well. "I didn't expect to see you here," Einer said, still not knowing what to say. "Are you doing something here or did you want to see your friend?" "Yes, that's all right. This is my first day." "First day?" "Um...yes. I decided to continue my education here; it's a bit tiring having to go out of town just to attend classes, so I'll choose a campus close to my home." Einer nodded. "Since I only know you, so I came to you. Maybe I can ask you a little favor, do you mind?" "No, not at all," Einer immediately shook his head, "but if I'm not mistaken, you know Amora Hills. Didn't you meet her?" "Ah...," Chelsea looked rather cold upon hearing that name. "Yes, I did know her,
"So, when is your family going to make an official statement?" asked Chelsea Wood, as she and Einer sat together on a bench in the campus garden. Since her enrollment in Sancer University, Chelsea had become closer to Einer who helped her to adapt. Einer felt awkward at first, but Chelsea had a friendly and cheerful personality that made her a magnet for attracting people—including Einer. "I don't know for sure, but making an official statement to the public requires information, right? I don't think my story is good enough for many people to hear about how I went missing and how I was found," Einer replied. "You don't need to spoil about it; your father must not think it's important to tell either." "Really?" Chelsea sat closer, still holding her soft drink. "You can look at the news of celebrity divorces; they just announce that they're break up, without mentioning the reason because it's a private matter. Even though they're celebrities who seem to live without the ba
For a second, Einer and Chelsea did not know what to do when Amora Hills came up and said something that confused them. Chelsea tried to deal with it by asking, "What do you mean?" "Didn't you go to one of the top university in the next town? You're even an icon who made your school popular, but I heard that you came to this school since a week ago. That's a big step that requires a big reason." Einer saw Chelsea briefly stare at him before standing up and facing Amora. "I transferred to this school because I live in Sancer, so I thought it would be better if I went to school in the same city because it would make my mobility more effective." "Really...?" Amora sounded and looked incredulous, until she pressed Chelsea with the question, "Isn't it because Einer is here?" Chelsea was taken aback, having no preparation to react. She looked clumsy and confused, making it even more impossible to make excuses. "Why would you think like that?" asked Chelsea, her brows furrowed.
Inside the darkened room, Eleonor finished firing her last bullet into the head of a man. The man immediately fell down and died, while around him were several guards that Eleonor had finished off first. Eleonor was exhausted, wiping away the traces of blood on her face with a disgusted look. The smell of blood filled her nose, making her hastily run to the bathroom to evacuate her bowels. Eleonor hoped that the agonizing effect on her body would erase all the disgust and revulsion within her, and make her feel much better. But until only water was left, Eleonor didn't feel any better, so she washed her face clean of blood until there was no smell left and she left the place. Eleonor walked listlessly to her car and drove away as far as possible from the mansion in the remote area. Eleonor saw a large lake and stopped near it, thinking to clean herself more. Eleonor got out and leaned against the car, pondering for a while until her cell phone rang. Eleonor saw Einer's name on
Einer would be doing his second training with Phillip in two days, so he was regularly training his body and also learning from books or listening to others' experiences. As he was doing now in the mansion's library, with Jeremy, Hannah, and Theodoric. "Do you know about awakening core?" Jeremy asked, but Einer like had no clue. "I've heard of it but I never knew what it was that far," Einer replied. "The awakening core is where your power is centered. When your power is active, you should feel your body, which is fine, start to feel a bit heavy as the flow of power slowly fills each of your veins. The awakening core is the point where that flow originates." Einer thought he understood, but it seemed he still needed a specific explanation, so Hannah spoke after it. "Imagine that your awakening core is a battery that you can use to charge lights, cell phones, and other electronic devices. When you activate the battery, it starts flowing its electricity to the connected electro
