"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
The feeling of goosebumps that was able to make Einer freeze, it felt like there was fear pressing on him and making his mouth stiff. Einer saw that Hannah, Jeremy and Theodoric were also silent with tense expressions, then Jeremy cursed while sitting back down.“Shit, she's here.”Einer tried to calm himself down by looking at Jeremy, Theodoric and Hannah who were able to regain their composure as if this kind of thing was a common occurrence. But Einer had no idea of what was going on.“What's wrong?” Einer asked, “who's here? And did you feel it too?”“That tense, goosebumpy feeling that scares you for no reason?” asked Jeremy, “it must be because of that giant thing over there.”Einer looked behind him, right among the large bookshelves that were lined up neatly and Einer could see a big tall shape with a black aura that almost enveloped its entire body. Einer was dumbfounded, now the fear in him made sense.“W-what is that?” asked Einer, his voice almost trembling and he spoke so
Einer returned to his training after the post-first training injury made him wait almost a month. Einer was honestly unsure; he also did not feel good when he saw Phillip facing him again in the training center arena. "Your body," Phillip said, short and cold as always. "How is it?" "One month is a very long time to heal from a minor injury, so I'm perfectly fine at this moment," Einer replied, shaking off his doubts as he looked at Phillip with a confident smile. "Are you ready to get back to training?" "Of course. I've prepared everything; studied with Garden, and learned from the experiences of the other kids here. I'm so ready right now-" "Are you really ready to accept that you can't be all-powerful just because people called you like that?" Einer frowned in offended. Again Phillip tried to make him feel uncomfortable with subtle taunts. "I'm prepared if I might lose to you this time, and I'm also prepared if I can beat you this time and take your title as the stron
Einer immediately approached Chelsea who looked awkward as Hannah led her in. “Chelsea, what are you doing here?” “Ah, I....” “She said she wanted to see you but I didn't know you guys were friends.” Hannah interrupted and hit Einer's hand in a little upset. “Why didn't you tell me that you and Chelsea are friends? I really like Chelsea Wood!” Einer was confused, not expecting Hannah to have an idol. “Oh, I didn't know you were interested in something like idolizing someone.” “What do you think I am? Is that a strange thing for me to do?” Hannah was still a bit annoyed, but then she returned to smiling broadly with Chelsea still in her grasp. Einer realized that Chelsea was uncomfortable, so she pulled the woman away from Hannah slowly and softly. “Okay then, I'll talk to Chelsea,” Einer said, Hannah was about to protest but Einer quickly said, “You said she wanted to see me, right?” “But I haven't taken a picture with her yet!” “You can take a picture with her all you want af
