[Author's note: This is a short side arc, filled with Point of Views of different characters to explain their relationship and current stand with Zero. Hope you will enjoy this.]

…

[Amelia's POV]

'How long has it been?' I thought as I looked at the text that Zero… no, Aidan sent to me regarding his future plans against the upcoming hurdle that the entire planet will be face to face with in the future.

'How long has it been since I felt so comfortable?' I thought as I recalled the time when I first met him.

When I first heard the name Aidan Williamson as it was being placed on the list after the list had been finalised, I thought someone who knows about my past has come to make a deal with me or perhaps use me and manipulate me using that knowledge.

Had that been the case, I would have killed him long ago when I first met him, but…

"Amelia Williamson?" he had asked me back then, which signified that he had not seen me before. After that, I concluded that he is not Aidan but someone else totally.

'Someone who just wants to use me, someone who knows about my past… so I should kill him,' I thought before I was almost about to use my special power but…

"Life Magic: Aura of Life," he said as he increased my life span by a few years as if it were an everyday thing for him.

I was really surprised… not only with the fact that he can do that but… I felt his aura. Anytime anyone touches my Life Tree, I can feel the aura of that being and Zero… had the exact same aura that Aidan had.

'But he said that Aidan is really dead and I can't sense any lies from him… just what is going on here? Did he forget who he was? Yeah… that must be the case… So what should I do next? Tell him about his past… but he won't believe me… and I don't know what kind of truth he knows and… how does he know about that monster Aidan who will later on have Aidan's memories?' I thought with a confused expression before I asked,

"What exactly do you want from here?"

"I am going to collect some people and groom them. Hope you don't have any problem with that?" Zero answered me with a keen expression and I could only reply with,"as long as that is all you do."

He then vanished from there, leaving me all by myself as my thoughts drifted back to when I was with Aidan.

Because I was really curious and maybe happy, I started learning more and more about Zero and what I found really astonished me. This guy…. Was a monster… When taken strength and magic in terms, Aidan was a monster among humans… but compared to that, he was far more mysterious than that.

The more I looked into him, the more mysterious he became. He helped people by striking a deal that he mostly loses but still fulfils in a way that the one who was being helped ends up respecting him. I don't know whether he was doing that on purpose or not, but… it was kind of scary.

I later met him when the top students were selected where he handled the situation related to Michael and Sabrina perfectly, and later he brought the Student Council President here to strike a deal with her.

It irked me a little. Why did he bring her here? Was she really that close to him… I did not find in my files that Zero knew Adara but when I searched about what he did in the Academy, I found that Zero was quite fond of Adara. Though surprisingly, even Adara doesn't know about that… another mystery.

'It's as if he knows things beyond any of us can imagine,' I thought as I spent most of my time observing him.

'Why are you always around girls and that too a different girl each time?' I narrowed my eyes on him whenever he met a new girl, who turns out to know him and acts all chubby and close with him. Kind of makes me jealous.

First it was Adara, then his classmate Gloria, then that librarian Clair, then the prodigy sisters, Eliza and Christine. If I remember correctly, there were even more girls that he had been with in this academy before I met him… is he a playboy or something? He doesn't seem like one though…

Aidan was one though… that guy had more than just a couple of girls around him always. In fact when I first saw him, he already had 4 girls around him… But Aidan loved those four girls and later me too…

Hmmm… I wonder what those four are doing right now… Hygeia, Zuriel… and the other two b*tches…

The next time I met Zero was a few hours ago when he called me on short notice through Adara and notified me about the shift in his plans. It was shocking, but if it's really the Aidan I know… I think he will manage to find a way out of this.

Currently, I was looking through his files and the work he has given me. As careful and thorough as he was, he had given the exact details of each and every move of his. From how to control the Academy concerning its future in the next 2 years.

There were also a dozen of files about the circle which he had given me to check out and see if I wanted something to be added into them.

"Awaaah! All this is making me tired… I wonder what that guy is doing right now?" I thought before opening up the secret sneaking magic screen that I especially created to watch over everyone in this Academy without letting them know.

The fact that even Zero does not know about it must mean that either he doesn't have the capability to sense it or he just doesn't care about it.

Opening up the screen, I found out the place where Zero was. He was currently in a villa on the outer circle of Arcadia Academy… passionately kissing Clair.
