"What just happened......"

Evan looked around, puzzled.

He was sure that he had been in front of the training ground where people had gathered.

However, the place he was now in was his dormitory room.

He had definitely been talking to a young girl.

"You, you have very nice eyes, don't you?"

The words she said to him with a smile.

"I know your feelings very well."

"No matter how hard you try, no matter how you struggle, it seems like the gap only widens, and you feel increasingly powerless watching yourself."

"I know it very well..."

At the girl's words, Evan drew his sword.

"There's no need to be so defensive."

"My name is Jefrin."

"I can help you."

After those words, a bright light suddenly enveloped him, and it brought him to this moment.

"Jefrin......"

It was a name he'd heard somewhere before.

"Haa......"

Evan sighed while sitting on the bed.

He watched closely.

The sight of Rudy, standing proudly with the professors.

While all the students were evacuating, Rudy boldly confronted the enemy with the professors.

Something he himself could not do.

Rudy was bravely doing all of those things.

Perhaps it was natural to feel powerless.

In fact, he thought it might be arrogant to consider himself a rival to Rudy Astria.

"Was it a dream?"

However, it was too vivid to be a dream.

Too vivid......

So...... was it reality?

"No...... I......"

It was Evan, who confidently held the top position at Liberion.

There wasn't a significant difference between him and Rudy Astria in the last exam.

He still had the upper hand.

At least for now...

1st floor of the academy main building, in front of the entrance.

"Huh?"

Rie opened her eyes with a confused face.

Where she was supposed to be was......

Rie looked beside her.

"Hmm?"

Next to her, Yuni was making a puzzled face.

"What's going on?"

Yuni tilted her head, looking at her body up and down.

Despite having certainly been pierced through the abdomen, Yunis body was now perfectly fine.

"Y-Yuni?"

"......Hmm? Sis?"

Yuni, who had been staring intently at her stomach, lifted her head to look at Rie.

"What's this? Where are we? Did I have a dream?"

Yuni said, tilting her head.

The Yuni who had been trembling in fear just moments before was gone, and only the usual Yuni was there.

Rie narrowed her brows and said,

"Yuni, is your stomach okay?"

"Huh?"

At Ries words, Yuni touched where she had been pierced through before.

"What? Isnt this a dream?"

When Rie mentioned her stomach, it felt like being pierced through had really happened.

However, with her stomach being fine, she could only be puzzled.

As she pondered, Yuni clapped her hands and spoke.

"Is this, like, the afterlife or something?"

Yuni, who had been tilting her head in thought, narrowed her eyes and glared at Rie.

"If this is the afterlife, did you die too, sis?"

"What?"

Confused, Rie made a baffled expression at Yuni's words.

However, Yuni, unbothered by it, heaved a sigh.

"I told you to leave me and run away, didnt I?! You struggled again because of your weird obstinacy! Really."

"Huh?"

"Really, since a while back! When there's an easy way, just take it! Why do you always choose the hard way! That's why this happened!"

Yuni spoke to Rie as if scolding her.

"I'm relieved."

Hearing those words, Rie, smiling a weary smile, tightly hugged Yuni, who was in front of her.

Yuni, suddenly being hugged by Rie, opened her eyes wide.

"What, what is it!"

Yuni struggled in Rie's embrace with a surprised face.

"Just stay still."

Rie held Yuni tightly, preventing her from moving.

After struggling for a moment, Yuni smiled at Ries words and buried her face in Ries chest.

It feels like its been a while since Ive hugged sis its nice to hug sis since we died~.

Yuni spoke to Rie, who had suddenly hugged her, in a teasing manner.

As she spoke, Yuni felt something strange.

The clothes of Rie, who was holding her.

They were definitely the uniform of Liberion Academy.

"But, do you normally wear the same clothes when you die?"

Something was strange.

Yuni slightly moved away from Rie's embrace and looked around.

"The place too... seems familiar?"

Anyone who looked at the surroundings would recognize it as Liberion Academy.

Huh?

Rie, having somewhat regained her senses, also looked around.

"Why am I here?"

"What is this!!"

Then, a noisy sound came from the surroundings.

Students, looking around with surprised voices.

Their reactions were similar to theirs.

Then a voice echoed through the academy.

[Students, this is Professor Mcguire. The situation you just saw was real, and we are currently assessing it. We will inform you immediately once we understand what has happened. That is all.]

Professor Mcguire's magic echoed the sound around them.

"What is it?"

Rie frowned as she spoke.

At that moment, the sound of hurried footsteps rushing into the academys main building could be heard.

It was Professor Gracie.

Uh, Professor?

Professor Gracie turned her head for a moment at Yuni's voice.

"Oh, oh! Yuni! Sorry, I'm in a hurry right now!"

Yuni grabbed the back of Gracie, who was about to run away in a hurry.

Gracie, whose clothes were being held, opened her eyes wide.

"Huh, Yuni? I'm busy right now!"

Gracie, whose clothes were grabbed by Yuni, flusteredly spoke.

Holding the back of the professor's clothes tightly might be considered impolite, but Gracie made a face as if she wanted to be sent quickly, not caring about such matters.

"Yuni, I'm really..."

"Yuni."

Rie pulled Yuni away from Professor Gracie.

Yuni, grabbed by the neck by Rie, tilted her head while looking at her sister.

"Sister?"

"Thank you, Rie! Then I'll!"

This time, when Professor Gracie tried to go, Rie held onto her.

"Gah!"

Startled, Professor Gracie looked at Rie with surprise as she was grabbed again.

"I didnt say you could go, did I?"

Rie spoke to Professor Gracie with a sly smile.

After all, Gracie was the most manageable professor compared to the others.

So, she couldnt just let her go.

She needed to understand the situation, after all.

Gracie mumbled quietly, making a sullen face.

"Why are you doing this to me......"

Rie asked with a smile.

"What happened? Why are we like this?"

Professor Gracie hesitated for a moment, then quietly opened her mouth.

"Well, it's complicated to explain......"

Rie slightly tilted her head.

Professor Gracie, thinking she would find out anyway, opened her mouth.

"Im not sure if you'll believe me, but it seems like time has reverted. For now, I think we need to discuss the exact details among the professors... Can you let go of this?"

Gracie spoke to Rie as if coaxing a child.

Rie nodded as if she understood and let go of the clothes.

"Thank you."

"Yes, yes! See you later!"

Gracie started to run again.

"Time?"

Rie murmured to herself, furrowing her brow slightly.

Come to think of it, right now was before she went to have tea with Yuni.

The students around them too......

Rie took Yuni's hand.

"Yuni, will you follow me for a moment?"

"Yep!"

Yuni smiled cheerfully and spoke when Rie took her hand.

So, the two hand-in-hand arrived at the student council room.

"Rudy, are you there?"

Surely, if it was the situation when they were going for tea, Rudy should have been in the student council room.

Rudy went to meet the leader of the rebels after being with her.

She thought he might know something.

However, someone else was in the student council room.

"Hm? Who is it?"

"Huh?"

A girl wearing a nuns outfit.

"The Saint?"

But something was off.

Her eyes were vacant.

As if they were empty.

"Ah, is it you, Rie?"

But that cheeky way of speaking.

It was undoubtedly the Saint, Haruna.

"Why are you here?"

Rie spoke, her eyes wide.

After a moment of contemplation, Haruna tilted her head and opened her mouth.

Hmm There must be a reason, right?

.

She sighed at the Saint, who made an incomprehensible statement.

This was how she had been speaking last time too.

Thus, she thought there was no point in continuing the conversation.

By the way, wasnt Rudy here?

Ah, may I ask a question first?

Rie slightly furrowed her brow at Harunas continual deflections, a vein almost popping on her forehead, but she managed to keep her composure.

What is it.

Could it be, has time reversed?

What?

Caught off guard by Harunas sudden statement, Rie's eyes widened.

For now, she didnt understand Harunas intentions.

So she thought it was right to conceal it.

No, I

Yes, thats right.

When Rie hesitated, Yuni spoke up.

Yu, Yuni?

Whats the use of hiding it? This isnt important, right? So, where did Rudy go?

Haruna smiled.

If time has reversed he might be in a different place. Dont worry, hell be here soon.

A different place? Did he go to see the professors?

Rie spoke, frowning at the incomprehensible statement.

However, Haruna simply smiled kindly and shook her head.

No, a different place.

Haruna gently touched her rosary.

He went to witness how the best decisions can sometimes yield the worst outcomes.

...What?

I opened my eyes.

I remembered a blinding light enveloping me.

Along with the words 'Time Back.'

Thinking about the term 'Time Back,' it seemed like magic that reversed time.

So, he would have used it to avoid my attack and that of the professors.

But

I looked around.

Where is this?

A ruined academy stretched before me.

What I saw before I obtained my future body...

The world where I possess the strongest power.

A world where everyone is dead.

That world was right before my eyes.
