307 Volume V - Chapter 25: Three People in the Same Body For screwing up the plan. That was the answer to the question of why I was here on this sunless sky and relaxing grass. But... it wasn't any answer at the same time. With his emotionlessness, with the emptiness behind his gray eyes, I felt the need to avert my eyes for no reason. Yet I didn't give in to the feeling, I didn't want to miss a single thing. I swallowed, tried to release the tension in my body, tried to let myself relax into…-

"In short... he told you nothing more than that he was a half wiera and that's how he was able to maintain his own consciousness." I nodded my head in agreement, trying to hide my nervousness, but I wasn't sure how successful I was. Still... I was also telling the truth. Aiden didn't continue after telling me briefly about his condition. I also didn't ask... So that's really all I know. "Yes..." Professor Calvin leaned back in his chair again. When he turned his head slightly to where Melany…

I did nothing as I stared at my statistics window. My eyebrows were slightly raised, the mouth I had opened a few seconds ago to speak remained like that. My strength has improved by a small grade... but that's not the point. There's a new tab in my window, titled Order. And I have no idea what it is. "Order? Status, purity tolerance, limit... What is all this...?" Professor Calvin continued to smile faintly as the blue glow that enveloped my body began to fade slightly. As soon as I stopped…

When I saw how serious the Rector was when speaking about the red spear, and how even Prince Lucas focused on me, especially when the topic came to this point, I couldn't help but wonder myself. Is there something about this spear...? I mean, it's a really high-end weapon, but it's not the best spear in the whole world. It shouldn't have been such a big deal... Should I tell the truth? I don't have the luxury of lying from the very beginning, though... "It's just a spear I picked up while I was on…

"Adrian Caleo!" The doctor shouted louder this time, and for a moment I just stared at him. Shaking myself out of my thoughts, out of the dream I was having, I looked up at the man who had been standing next to me since I woke up. As we made eye contact, he too finally paused, the urgency and slight worry in his eyes disappearing. "Ah... Well, I apologize. I got lost in my thoughts..." The doctor turned away with a sigh. He called out to a few people waiting outside the room and asked them to…

When I collapsed because of my injuries... I expected to wake up in a hospital, covered in bruises. But... instead of waking up directly, after a really long time... I had a dream. It wasn't hard to realize that it was a dream. After all, all my memories were still there and I was not in my own body, I was a child. I was in the old times... at home with my family. Normally, I would try to savor such dreams, as long as they weren't a nightmare. I would try to live the childhood I didn't have, to…

*(A/N: I will probably rewrite this chapter in the future because I had to write it in a hurry and I'm not happy with it. If you are not satisfied with the quality, this is why. But the content of the chapter will be the same no matter what, so if I change the chapter in the future, you won't have to read it again, there won't be a problem. I apologize...)* The first thing I did in the morning when I woke up to the sound of my alarm as the sunlight hit my face and cool air filled my room through the…

In the midst of the flames, I saw a few people looking toward me. They seemed to be trying to perceive what was happening. It was the same for Sue, not far from me. Her eyes were wide, her focus completely off Julian. Even Lucia, who looked like she had just come out of the lake, her clothes wet, was in the same state. But... I didn't care about any of it, not even the fact that the man in front of me was getting serious for the first few seconds. Because... I felt strange. How long has it been…

With an elbow in the back, my whole body contracted violently once more. The connection between me and the world seemed to be severed for a moment. Everything went haywire, all sounds became incomprehensible. I leaned on my spear once more as the Guardian Radiance tried to keep my body upright. I spat blood but forced myself to stand up as the mana inside me spun and spun, supporting my body like an exoskeleton. My eyes widened in an instant at that very moment. I tried to defend myself, knowing…

I continued to watch the lake, locked in the image in front of me, as if I had forgotten the presence of Julian, Lucia, and Sue. It was in such a strange... harmony with the sounds of the festival that the lake itself and its contents were almost mesmerizing. But... it was also because of this that I was able to notice something early on that I normally would not have been able to. I suddenly caught a glimpse of something changing in the reflection of the lake. Something that appeared in the midst of…
