128. Possession
[Do not die.]
Luke’s voice echoed in my head.
It’s easier than you think. to die
To begin with, the three of us couldn’t stop the monster’s attack.
My barrier, which I had deployed with all my might, was torn apart like a piece of paper.
Receiving the shock all over my body, I felt as if all the muscles in my body were bursting.
No strength entered the body.
Raven would have managed to escape somehow with her own shadow magic.

Kairin was standing behind me, so he probably wasn’t dead.
I was falling deeper into the abyss again, as if the device that Raven had prepared to connect us disappeared due to the shock.
you real raven How much did you push me up?
Did you really think I would win against something like that?
Should I be happy that I bought a high price? Should I get angry because I put her in a near-death crisis?
But rather than that, I think I need to do something about this situation right now.
I stretched out my hand to see if I had anything to hold on to.
However, as expected, my arm only cut through the black air and did not touch anything.
“Damn it.”
I sighed softly and closed my eyes.
I don’t know. Be what it is.
There must have been a destination somewhere here.
Somehow shortening the time I was in this anxious state would increase my chances of survival.
If you fall anyway…
I concentrated mana on my toes.
Accelerating with all my might, I threw myself into a deeper abyss.
Before long, a blue light engulfed me.
here is…?
When I opened my eyes, I was surprised by the softer texture than I thought.
I was covered with a blanket on the bed.
messy brain. I slowly recollected my memory.
I’m sure…
It looks like it got sucked into the rift.
The wounds caused by the fight with the monster were also completely gone.
This feeling is like having a dream overnight.
I slowly got up.
Where the hell is this?
Looking around, I felt like I was coming here for the first time, but I couldn’t erase the feeling of deja vu.
Something looks familiar…?
Obviously, the objects and furniture inside were all different, but why does it feel like I’ve been here?
Soon after, I found the answer.
structure of the room.
I was very used to this sense of space I was feeling right now.
If my hypothesis is correct, this is…
Opening the door, I was able to prove myself right.
The place where I was was the academy dormitory bedroom.
When I came out the door, I could see the same terrace and the view beyond, albeit with different furniture arrangements.
Did I… even come back?
But this wasn’t my room.
One more odd thing.
It was the finishing material for the walls of this dormitory building.
The walls of the academy dormitory rooms I was staying in until yesterday were plain white walls.
But now this place was finished with brown wood in a warm beige tone.
Even if I had been kicked back to the academy with a huge probability, this would have been impossible.
in other words. This place was an academy, but it was clear that it was a different time axis from the one I was in.
First of all, I began to examine the objects in the room carefully to determine whose room this was.
First of all, when I opened the closet, I could clearly see that this was a man’s room.
As expected, the academy’s uniform design also felt very different from what I used to wear.
The owner of this room seemed to have no interest in clothes.

Someone started knocking on the door.
After seriously contemplating whether to open the door or not, I thought it was necessary to open the door and find out information about this place.
“Luke! Why are you coming out so late!”
A woman who looked like a young girl with light blue hair spoke to me.
“Mr. Luke…?”
I asked her again.
“…Mr. Luke, do you still think that the concepts that don’t appear in training because you lost your memory still work?”
Could this be the story of the homeroom teacher I know? This.
“Excuse me, my name is Luke, right?”
“I said it doesn’t work.”
The woman crossed her arms and looked at me with cold eyes.
“Ah. Let’s go really quickly. Are we really going to stay like this until the end?”
After all, she grabbed my wrist and started down the stairs.
After all, this is a school.
The shapes of the buildings were almost all different, but the topography and scenery behind them let me know that I was in the academy.
The place he arrived after being caught by a woman seemed to be a gymnasium.
The students started booing at us who arrived late.
“Luke. You really don’t deserve to be a warrior party!”
A woman with blonde hair and a big chest pushed me.
“I’m sorry… I’m sorry.”
Was Luke a member of the hero’s party?
But does that make common sense?
Assuming it was a party of former warriors, it was a story that Luke had lived for 1000 years.
It means that they have lived 10 times longer than normal humans.
is that possible?

Keeping in mind the possibility that it may not be yet, I silently listened to them scolding me.
“Really… Rebecca-sama is also… What do you like about a man like this?”
Rebecca? Who is she?
As the blonde woman muttered something about Rebecca, the light blue haired woman who had brought me pointed her out.
“Ugh! We always have to respect the hero’s choice! Tania.”
“Ha… aren’t you pissed off? Cecilia? That Luke is with us.”
I wondered if Luke, the current owner of my body, was the kind of person hated by everyone.
Before long, a gray-haired old man presumed to be the teacher appeared in front of us.
“Yeah… Everyone has suffered a lot in the meantime.”
A delightful smile appeared on his wrinkled face.
“I have nothing more to teach you guys. Well learned. Very well learned. Hee hee.”
The old man looked around and seemed to be looking for someone.
“No. But where did Amelia and Rebecca go?”
…Amelia?
Are you Amelia?
I couldn’t help but flinch as the names I knew continued to appear one by one.
“…Luke. Are you faking it today as well? You guys.”
The old man laughed and looked in my direction.
“No. No.”
I tried to be as inconspicuous as possible, but they looked dumbfounded at my reaction.
“Did you eat something wrong?”
This… isn’t this?
But don’t you usually respond like this if you’re not sick of the word malingering?
“Luke, you seem really strange today. Are you really sick?”
The blue-haired woman who dragged me along. Cecilia put her hand on my forehead.
“Yes… yes. It’s okay.”
“Rebecca and Amelia will arrive soon, Master.”
Tania answered her teacher in a polite manner.
“Then I’ll save my words for a moment and let them wait…”
The old man turned his back and looked at the distant mountains.
It wasn’t long before I began to see two dolls from the back of the building.
I swallowed dry saliva and focused my eyes on it.
And I couldn’t hide my surprise.
Because, as I expected, one of the women approaching was Amelia, whom I knew.
black hair. black dress. And even the black parasol she always carried.
Why is Amelia-sama at the academy…
However, Master’s eyes were not shining red.
The odds were half and half.
The first case is that she may have come up with some kind of device like me to hide her identity.
The second is… Amelia-sama was 1000 years ago. If you were a human, not a demon.
Both were cases that were never imagined.
Then I turned my head and looked at the red-haired woman walking beside Amelia-sama.
could be recognized at a glance.
This feeling of tingling in your limbs.
I felt that I was stronger than any person I had ever met.
Unfortunately, I felt a dignity in her that was incomparable to that of Seria.
“Sorry to keep you waiting. I have something to share with Amelia.”
“It’s okay. Rebecca. All that’s left now is the final exam.”
If we analogize their conversation, it seems that this is an academy that selects the warrior party, and they are about to take the final exam, the final gateway to proof.
“So. Have you decided?”
Amelia-sama and Rebecca with the old man’s benevolent expression. I looked at the two in turn.
“Master. I…”
Rebecca turned her head and glared at Amelia-sama.
“I don’t think I can be with Amelia either.”
From the atmosphere, it seems that a very important announcement was made, but Amelia-sama’s expression was calm as if she had expected it.
“Yes… I’ve always longed in my heart for the two of you to be together. If that’s what you mean, I can’t help it. Rebecca.”
The old man let out a sigh of regret.
“Tomorrow at 6:00 PM. Let’s all gather at the west gate. We’ll take your final exam there.”
The students all responded to his words with booming voices.
“yes!”
“Go in and get some rest. The final exam will never be easy.”
After that, the old man turned his back and left the gymnasium with slow steps.
In the midst of a buzzing atmosphere. Amelia-sama walked towards me.
“…Luke.”
Her eyes were full of anxiety.
