Chapter 271 Changed Reality

My eyes looked at those kids for a couple of seconds before I moved out of the courtroom, leaving the question-filled face unanswered. I then took out my phone and observed Caroline calling me already,
-Click!
-Michael! What happened?! DId you do something? Why am I suddenly back at our college?
"I will talk once I get there. For now, take care of yourself and don't make any moves. Lie low, okay?" I spoke as something didn't feel right about this.
-Okay… everything is fine, right? I am getting a bad feeling
Caroline asked with a worry filled voice and I nodded as I answered,"yes. It's fine. Don't worry. We will meet soon. Till then, you stay with Alissa and do your part of your work, okay?"
-Okay. Take care Michael. Love you. Click
The call got disconnected as I walked out of the dorm before pondering a little… Just what could have gone wrong-
-Bzzz Bzzz
'Hmm? Is it Caroline again?' I thought as I looked at the phone only to find something unbelievable on it…
[Leeway Rosalyn]
The phone showed, making my eyes widen as I looked at the phone number… It was my best friend's. The one who died a long time ago in that valentine incident.
"Just what is going on here?" My eyes were puzzled. I could feel my blood pumping a little more than before…
The call was cut off before… it rang again
[Leeway Rosalyn]
-Click!
-Hey Michael, are you there?
A familiar voice, which should have not been present at this time, spoke from the other side. There was no mistaking it… it was him…
-Hello? Moshi Moshi!
"Yeah…" I answered with a broken tone and he hurriedly began speaking,
-Ah! Why weren't you answering? Anyway, scratch that… Can you meet with me immediately? I need your help. Urgent! I… can't explain this, but I believe you can help me… you are the only one I can trust. Mike, will be waiting for you at the usual spot?
"Sure," I answered as the call got cut and I just closed my eyes for a couple of seconds. I was focused really deeply as I pondered about what could have happened and what I should do next… and what is the purpose of all this happening? Seems like things just got interesting again.
"The usual spot, huh?" I thought of one place that came to mind when I thought about that…
I then took a deep breath as I moved out and, not pondering much, I looked for the most urgent flight back to my city. It should take about 7-8 hours but since we don't have much time…

[Skill Time Reduction has been set to be used in [Multiple Copy] Slot]
'How long will it take to reach if I run at my full speed to my city?' I pondered as I wondered if I could use my flash steps continuously or not… more likely I can give my [Ethereal] body.
[8 Hours: 15 minutes: 14 seconds]
'The next flight is in 6 hours, but the landing and everything else will take more time. Even reaching the spot from the airport will take about an hour or two,' I pondered a little as I thought of a possibility before a smile appeared on my face…
'What if I remove inertia using [Time Rejection]? Will it be possible?' I gave it a thought for a couple of seconds before trying it using the future vision… and yes it worked perfectly… that was a bit scary and overwhelming though.
And then I closed my eyes as I activated my ability
[Time Reduction!]
[Time Reduction(Copy)!]
[Time Rejection!]
'Take a deep breath and…'
-BOOOM!!
I jumped as fast as I could towards the place where my supposedly dead best friend was supposed to be…
-BOOOM!!!
-BOOOM!!
-BOOOM!!
Each step of mine was creating more blasts than before as I accelerated more and more.
[Time Rejection!]
[Time Rejection!]
I had to use that skill over and over again without any breaks as I ran with my eyes closed. [Space-Time Map] was my only guide at this speed as I ran from land to water, faster and faster.
Time passed as I kept running and running, without giving myself any breaks. I did not know how much time passed as I ran at my full speed that I was currently capable of using all my skills in the arsenal.
And after some time, I finally saw land again as a familiar city appeared in front of me and, taking a deep breath, I jumped in the sky to not create problems for those on the land. While using the same principle, I accelerated so fast; I decelerated in the sky while I kept using the [Time Rejection] over and over.
And soon… I stopped in my tracks as I reached deep into the city. I made sure to land on a roof where nobody was, making sure I didn't gather any unnecessary attention.
'How much time did it take me to reach here?' I questioned as I looked at the status and
[1 Hours: 23 minutes: 13 seconds]
"Hah! Hah!" my lungs were hurting a lot as I fell on my back on the roof. I could feel my legs breaking apart as I could feel them throbbing incessantly.
For a couple of minutes, I just lay there as I used [Time Rejection!] over and over to heal myself. Though I was hurting, it was slowly fading away as well. And as I caught my breath back, I stood up and began walking again. I still had to meet that idiot at that meet up point.
-BZZZ BZZZ! The phone rang again as I saw the same number dialing again
[Leeway Rosalyn]
-Click! Hey! Where the heck are you? I have been waiting for an hour now? You okay right?
"Just a few things came up, but I should be there in about… 15 minutes?" I spoke as I caught my breath, and hearing my heavy breaths, he panicked a little.
-Hey! Hey! You sound like you ran two marathons at once… take your time, bud… no need to overexert yourself. I will be waiting here.
"It's okay. I will be there," I then cut the call as I looked at the door of the roof before looking at the building connected to this one.
"Guess I will be taking the shortcut then," I chuckled as I began running again… this time a lot slower… from one roof to another.
