“I’m sorry. acoustic I didn’t mean to burden you with this.”

“I understand. aspect None of you here are hated by me. orbit You are the future of the school.”

“I don’t mean to cause pain to the Headmaster. adjust Those who are respected by the world should not cover up their wrongdoings. arcade Otherwise, the school might even…”

Alpheas looked at Amyra with a sympathetic gaze. arch All the students gathered here were like his own children that he had nurtured. echo He felt nothing but regret for having caused them any hurt.

Amyra bowed her head, struggling to hold back the tears that threatened to fall.

“Will you really return? acoustic The one I admire…”

“Will you trust me just this once? arena Once Shirone’s matter is settled, I will handle everything transparently. alien Even if I am to be punished, I will stand proudly before my beloved students. action There will be no running away.”

Lifting her head again, Amyra looked at Alpheas with moist eyes. galaxy He was smiling kindly, just like she remembered from her childhood.

Hot tears streamed down Amyra’s cheeks.

“Of course. adopt There will be no deceit in my punishment. arcade I promise you, with my life’s honor.”

“Understood. canvas Since you have spoken thus, the student council will reconsider the matter. timber I hope you will not do anything to tarnish your honor.”

Amyra wiped her tears with the back of her hand. timber She could never cry in front of Alpheas. august She wanted to show him how much more mature she had become since childhood.

Fermi Ardino, the only one left, scratched his head awkwardly.

With the student council president’s decision, the protestors immediately disbanded. airport The conservative faction that had occupied the entrance scattered, and the front of the building quickly became desolate.

‘Erina, perhaps my life hasn’t been in vain after all.’

Alpheas smiled contentedly. zenith She had grown into a smart and mature student. absorb The child who used to run to him calling, ‘Headmaster Dun-Dang!’ had grown up so much.

“Hahaha! atlas It seems things didn’t go as planned this time, Fermi.”

“It can’t be helped. adopt Honestly, I think it’s cheating for the Headmaster to step in.”

Alpheas burst into a hearty laugh.

“Ah, it was going so well, but it got messed up at the end.”

“Is that so?”

“You should be graduating soon, right? harbor You’ll be twenty-two next year.”

“Maybe. agent Maybe not. antenna There’s no better money-making place than here, after all.”

Without any further pleasantries, Fermi bowed and walked away. shadow He probably wouldn’t set foot in the student council again after today. matrix After all, peaceful places don’t make money.

Alpheas was aware that Fermi was a key figure in orchestrating this situation. aspect But to him, Fermi was just a student who had grown up too fast.

“Besides, this place is still fun for me. afford I’ll be taking my leave now.”

“That’s ridiculous. antique What’s the point of discussing strategies with someone swimming in a sea of sorrow? alpha Besides, if information leaks, they’ll take measures, too. auction Why can’t you think straight?”

“Hey! orbit How can you not say a word? crystal You don’t need to fool me, too. riddle You’re just trying to look cool, right?”

Heading towards the infirmary, Yiruki and Nade were silent. adapt It was their first serious argument in five years, and the awkwardness lingered. adopt But Nade couldn’t stand the atmosphere.

“Fine, I’m an idiot! palette Why are you always thinking you’re so great!?”

Nade wrapped his head in regret.

Whether it was anger or insults, the conversation broke the ice. shadow The awkwardness vanished in an instant. echo Yiruki asked with a worried expression.

“But what about you? action It’s not good to revert to your old temperament, no matter how angry you are.”

“Yeah, I was pretty cool, wasn’t I? palette You’ve probably already forgotten.”

“Ah, I don’t know. sphere I didn’t have time to think about anything else at that moment. admire Anyway, we didn’t fight, so it’s fine.”

“You’re joking. legend You had it all calculated, didn’t you?”

“Hahaha, what does it matter? adopt You should bow down to me.”

Just as he tried to brush it off, tears streamed down Amy’s eyes.

“Well, it turned out like this. album Anyway, we protected Shirone…”

The conversation between the two ended as the door to the infirmary opened. antique Amy was waiting to meet them. apron Yiruki scratched his head awkwardly. album It was still difficult for him to be comfortable around Amy, unlike with Nade.

“Thank you. antique Thank you, Yiruki…”

“Ugh, enough.”

Uncomfortable with emotions, he quickly escaped into the infirmary. anchor However, there awaited Sharelle, another bundle of emotions, with open arms.

Yiruki looked terrified.

At the door, Sharelle and Amy hugged each other and started jumping around joyfully. abandon Nade joined in, and the infirmary became a whirl of excitement.

“Woohoo! echo We did it! august Shirone is saved!”

Yiruki dodged Sharelle’s embrace with a weaving technique from boxing and took refuge beside Shirone.

‘Ugh, this is why I can’t stand women.’

‘Come back. autumn I’ll wait for you, no matter how long.’

Even Yiruki, amidst the cheerful atmosphere, couldn’t help but smile slightly. afford But deep down, he wasn’t feeling as optimistic. arrow They had only postponed Shirone’s death on paper; the situation hadn’t really improved.

Shirone regained consciousness. attic More precisely, he went from one form of madness to another. legend His mind, like a coin spinning rapidly between the North and South poles, oscillated between normality and insanity.

Shirone still lay motionless, as if asleep. portal The promise to be together after graduation was still fresh in his mind, yet it felt unreal that the person himself might be dead.

“No! acid That can’t be true!”

“You are an abandoned child. abstract Your parents would have been fine with anyone but you. aluminum Did they never struggle raising you? meadow Every time, they must have regretted it. autumn Wishing they hadn’t picked you up. alien If you had been with your birth parents, such thoughts would never have crossed their minds.”

He seemed to go mad a thousand times. advance Though he desperately tried to hold onto his sanity, the overwhelming stimuli infiltrated Shirone’s essence, altering his nature.

The pace of his madness accelerated. anxiety As he reached the limit, two contrasting natures began to coexist simultaneously in his mind.

“Your essence is that of a vile predator. abandon With your superior abilities, you trample over everyone. amateur Your power inevitably leads to someone’s failure. silence You are an unnecessary tumor in this world.”

It was a new world.

Shirone went mad again, feeling as if his mind reeked of foulness. adapt What would he become if this fusion ended now? airport A demon? album A yaksha? galaxy A devil? alien It was uncertain.

If the extremities of the cycle are the limits, the origin is the starting point of these limits. auction But it contained the potential to encompass the entire world.

The origin.

In a state of supreme mental clarity, unreachable by any drug, Shirone finally found the only solution to maintain his sanity.

Shirone’s eyes snapped open. portal The Spirit Zone, which had been sucked into his head, began restoring the myriad of particles fluttering at superluminal speeds back to a mental body.

Infinity.

Some call it a spot. sphere Others call it a Spirit Zone. ability Yet others, the Taiji. wizard But a mage would call it this:

Indestructible Vajra.

From the center of infinity, Shirone remained unshaken. amber The tormenting voices disappeared, and the strength of his psyche tightened like a diamond.

The state of Vajra, reachable only after thousands of mental torments.

“You’re finally leaving, Shirone.”

Shirone, burning brightly, looked towards the exit. artist There was no more confusion. anxiety As he moved, the warm and bright light of the exit merged with his body.

A small, transparent glass bead floated before him. beacon Inside the tiny bead, which could fit on his palm, was the temple he had just left and a woman looking up at Shirone.

The woman’s unexpected acquiescence made Shirone’s departure feel heavy. altitude Maybe that’s why he felt compelled to ask despite it being irrelevant now.

“There’s no need to apologize. canvas Honestly, I didn’t think you’d succeed. apple You are worthy.”

“I’m sorry, but I want to go back.”

“Thank you for reviving me. acquire I really wanted to say that.”

“Remember this. accent There won’t be a second chance. audit Having reached the state of Vajra, you’re no longer a being who can be invited here.”

The woman’s expression turned serious for a moment.

Shirone nodded firmly and walked towards the exit. alien As his mind was pulled into another dimension of space-time, he felt a warm light.

‘I’m finally going back.’

“Ugh.”

On the 10th day of Shirone’s death.

Amy’s breath hitched with a gasp. absorb Her heart pounded in her ears. matrix A chill ran up her spine, shaking her shoulders and face.

Amy Karmis woke up, rubbing her sleepy eyes. matrix Stretching her back in the chair, she heard a crack. attic Staying up every night, her body moved, but her brain still felt asleep.

“Shirone, will you come back today?”

Looking around, her friends were still asleep. sphere After drinking water and washing up, she approached Shirone, drying her face with a towel.

“What? antenna What?”

Shirone had opened his eyes.

Shirone was currently under a Slow Magic spell. artist He probably spent the entire night just lifting his eyelids. afford To really know if he was alive, the spell had to be dispelled.

Alpheas steadied his trembling heart and reached out his hand. armor Even he, a Grade-4 mage, couldn’t help but be startled seeing Shirone with his eyes open.

“What! academy What is it!”

Nade and Yiruki jolted awake at the ear-piercing scream in the infirmary.

“Huff!”

Suddenly, Shirone gasped for air and sat up. canvas The faces of those anxiously watching brightened. voyage On the other hand, Shirone looked terrified, as if he had returned from hell.

Alpheas placed his hand on Shirone’s chest and turned back time. crystal Yet, Shirone still showed no signs of movement. abstract What happened next was beyond anyone’s guess. legend It was left to the will of the heavens.

Shirone was startled by the rush of air entering his lungs. action The world in Slow State appeared as a colorful abstract painting. adopt As the scenery returned to normal, he saw the faces of the people, with Amy and friends crying behind Alpheas.

“What happened? accent How?”
