Chapter 41: Chapter 41

It's already midnight… hmm… I should just take a nap here…

2 hours later…

"*Yawn*... Good morning…"

I stood up from the place I was lying on and quickly stepped on the roof…

–Good morning…

"... I thought there was a person here, hey, search for a minute here."

Someone said just 4 meters in my left said as another mage flies up and looks around for a minute, but seemingly not finding me, they left the place cautiously… good thing that I avoided them touching me, otherwise, I would've been caught, that is if they can touch me.

–Don't make yourself more confident by saying that.

Hahahaha… let me boost my confidence now, will you!! *Sigh* you know I'm a bit troubled emotionally right?

–Yes. But… boosting your ego to deal with that? Heh, stupid you… the you, that I know will just relieve their stress, but I guess you don't even remember how to do that, huh?

… Fair, but do you really have to make me temporarily angry?

–Not really, but for all I know, if it means I give you a reason as to why I did it, you'll be fine with it. Now now, I guess you gotta have fun, or else, I would make you annoyed again.

Not that fair, but sure, I can at least… try to let loose. *Sigh*... But that doesn't mean I will be the same as I was, got it?

–Sure, Partner.

{Glad you can make sure… and your reasoning really does help me be less stressed, but I won't tell you that… I will never tell you that.}

I quickly made a small promise to myself before waiting for 2 hours, cleaning and dusting off my uniform in the meantime, as it was close to the time I needed to be in class, I dropped off the roof and quickly entered through one of the windows.

8 hours later.

"Hey-... Where is she?"

I already made my presence vanish and slowly left the classroom… hmm… what to do, to have fun?

As I was walking down the corridor, with no one around me, suddenly, I felt someone touching my shoulder which made me immediately look at who did it…

"Leus… found you."

Chrome…

I turned around and hugged her.

"Ah… such a nice and comfortable classmate you are…"

It's quite calming to hug her, it makes me even feel like I'm dozing off…

–[... I shouldn't bother the moment for now.]

… Ah…

"... Ah, I see… don't worry master, you can sleep peacefully, it's fine as long as you have me on your side…"

I closed my eyes off as I heard her soothing voice… huh… why am I……

"Good night, Master."

I heard a calming voice that did the trick to put me to sleep…

(Change pov)

Master Leus… she's strange… she seem rather uncaring to people she just met, but there's this feeling I have that she lost people she considers important, and due to that, she shut herself up from everyone… entering her space won't be easy. But I know she's tired…

I can tell she…

I looked into my master who is sleeping at my side.

I can just tell she is lonely, it isn't hard to tell, I have the ability to see emotions, after all, and she… just always exudes a strange amount of sadness or regret, but when I see her expression, it's quite neutral… granted seeing her sad will make me also feel sad, but, that doesn't mean I would like her to actually hide her feelings.

I stroke her head gently, as if I'm guiding her to an even more peaceful sleep as I look into my master's sorrowful expression… I wonder why she is having that expression? I asked myself, yet even I know that I simply can't answer it.

I don't know what happened in the past, but it's something that can be considered tragic, maybe she lost her family, after all, you just need talent to be here, not having education is fine… Master, she is… lonely. I doubt she is alone, but she somehow is lonely, as if she lost people she usually was with. That's just my opinion though, but I know that it can be true, after all… sadness that causes this type of denial to friendship isn't what normally happens to an alone child, rather it happens to a child who was for some reason, was left alone, causing them to become more cautious to people, and due to that, they became antisocial. She lost someone important, but she knows that hiding that she is sad will be better for everyone, even if it causes… someone who knows them more regret not helping them. And for all I know, she… doesn't know a lot of people.

"... Hehehe…"

I let out a dry laugh, but it only caused her sorrowful expression to be more sorrowful, as if she heard me and knew that I was faking it…

Sorry master, I can't help. Not unless it becomes dire, as… I want you to get better just with yourself… Hmmm… I'm getting tired…

I quietly closed my eyes… making sure no one is near me other than Master, and quickly… dozed off…

(Change pov)

Where the hell am I?... Angel?

… Only silence.

I can't hear anyone…

"..."

I can't hear myself… I tried to talk, but no voice came out… a splendid dream, huh.

I looked around, but all I see is Darkness… I can see my hands, but I can't see anything else… this place is pitch black.

I tried-

Guh…

I got hit by something behind me, which caused me to immediately focused and looked around. What to do? What to do? I can't do anything when I'm this worried…

I barely dodged something by moving to the left. I tried to touch what almost hit me, but it vanished… there doesn't seem to me taking damage… But my head, it's slowly feeling more and more painful…

"Give up. You're-"

I just walked away from the person who said that… my head…

I collapsed as the pain quickly became unbearable.

"You can't even bother to hear what I wanted to say… haha, shucks, I didn't think you'd be so defiant. But who is to say that you can live more than today?"

{Uggh…}

Something stabbed me from behind, causing me to feel pain…

Nggn… pain… I can't stand up…

"... Oh, you can't even talk… must be because you don't have a choice, then before you die, I give you my name. Altera, got it memorized?"

I tried to shake my head out of spite, but couldn't as the pain made me stop moving…

"... Well I'm sure you memorized it, now di-"

… That's never gonna happen you know, right? There's a reason why it didn't happen before, and it won't happen again… and that's all because…

"Angel… mode."

I somehow was able to say as I felt my mind clearer… you're my nightmare, or technically just another me. Altera is it? Sorry, but if you actually… have enough importance to me as Alter and Suelta, then this wouldn't happen.

My body glowed in a white glow before it dimmed off, making my clothes changed into the Angel armor.

"... Now I can talk… Acerta. Now, let's go!!"

I used the artifacts to immediately accelerate to the unknown bastard and slashed through the air using an Angel that couldn't talk… this is just a copy anyway using my imagination.

"My name is Altera!! Remember-"

"Like I would."

I accelerated towards him and stabbed him with the copy sword I'm using, I then spun upwards as the artifacts was boosting me upwards, on a purpose to hit him again and kill him quite darkly…

"Hehehe…"

I dashed through the air, hitting him with a slash before going through him, I then turned around while doing a slash, I then immediately slashed him downward to the ground, causing a ground bounce and him still being stuck in hitstun, I accelerated myself downwards, doing a flipping slash in the process which help me keep him in the air, I then did 6 stabs before an accelerated horizontal slash, followed by an accelerated downward slash. He bounced off the ground again due to the downward slash and I immediately did 5 slashes before I aimed the artifacts at him backwards, and all of them shot lasers that didn't deactivated, not until I say so. He's gonna say there until 5 seconds, which is enough time for…

"Auggh… combos are painful…"

I ignored that as I ready myself for the next few actions I will do in a quick moment… *phew*...

I immediately did a downward slash, followed by a horizontal slash, before teleporting behind him, doing a stab and following it with a horizontal slash, I then teleported in front of him again as I did a horizontal slash followed by a spin slash, I teleported once more and did a stab, followed by a spin slash and then followed by a horizontal slash, I then teleported in front of him once again and did a quick charge up, before dashing and doing the last horizontal slash. But I'm not done yet, the laser that was shooting out of the artifact now vanished and he started to touch the ground, in which I stomped on his body a few times before kicking him off to the unknown darkness, I then, teleported to where he will be in the future and kicked him upwards, I then made a platform in a specific shape which made him fall in front of me, in which I readied the artifacts in the process and as he was reaching the designated area, I immediately made all of the artifacts hit him with the lasers once again, I did a spin slash before doing an up slash as the laser immediately stopped appearing, I then continued the combo by using the artifacts to do a spin slash in the air, before doing an accelerated descent slash, I immediately then do a kick that raises him higher, made a mana bow using pure mana and pulled the bowstring, making a mana arrow, a superior magic arrow that is more powerful than a magic arrow in many ways, including the concentration required to use it, but that doesn't matter…

I quickly aimed it at Acerta and immediately let go of the string, causing a quick and powerful mana arrow to hit him in the heart, and possibly, might kill him.

"... You're just regrets anyways. If you won't bother me, then I won't bother you… but… as it stands today, unfortunately, your prank was a bit too much for my easily damageable heart."

I quietly muttered as I felt Altera temporarily vanishing. I knew after all… I knew that it will come back, but that also means I'm at fault for that. Myself is insecure, that much is certain, but that also means that unfortunately… I have too much problems to hide. *Sigh*... I should hide my feelings for now… as I know it wouldn't help worrying others.

{But I do wonder…}

I looked around, the seemingly dark place I was in…

"When will I leave?"

I asked myself a question I can't answer, and due to the fact that I can't easily answer it, I didn't bother to answer it.

…

After a while. There was me, sitting on a throne, with a table in front of me as a teacup with tea in it is shakily in my right hand…

…

I tried to drink the tea, but the moment I did so, I felt someone appear…

"…… Well, guess who's back? It's Altera once again."

Said Acerta.

"... Okay, please, I know you're full of regret, but that doesn't mean you can just summon me that immediately, it wasn't even an hour yet while I was gone… how much you do want to regret, huh?"

I heard a pretty annoyed Acerta said to me with an irritated expression.

"Y'know, I'm just regret incarnate right? So… leave my area, and don't come back here, unless you want to die for real."

He somehow lost his motivation to kill me, I wonder why? But for all I know, I can't answer that.

I silently shrugged and closed my eyes.

"... Fine, dream on and leave my space."

I felt a bit dozy and…

(Change POV)

"*Sigh*... They didn't even bother to drink it till the cup was empty… they just took a sip…"

I said to myself while sitting on a throne that someone made for me.

"Do they know how much I wanted to have a fight, fair and simple, and save them afterwards, but then I got beaten to death as they somehow temporarily lost emotions?"

I sighed.

"God, it's goddamn awful. And at least I can drink-!"

As soon as I hold the teacup, I immediately felt pain… out of reflex, I immediately let go of it.

"Haha… *phew*... That was scary…"

I carefully pushed the table so that it was farther than me.

"... God… I'm Regret incarnate, but that?... That was suffering…"

I carefully left the throne and by summoning a black sword, aiming it and propelling the sword towards the throne, I deleted it.

A word "Leus" appeared for a second as I deleted the throne.

… Leus… I wonder what kind of place that is? Just what is that place? I have some memories I "copied" from Atleus, but that doesn't mean I know what that place was, nor do they know that place.

"... Hmm… so by this, I kinda realized that it'll be important later on…"

Hmm, like it matters to me… So bye for now, Observer.
