Chapter 21: Questioning

"Emma, I—"

* SLAP * 

The sound reverberated in the medicine hall which turned eerily silent.

All the Instructors looked away from the scene. They walked out of the medicine hall when they realized that it wasn't the right time to question Darell.

The Dean had been present when Darell woke up but he reluctantly left them while questioning himself about Darell's rapid regeneration.

Darell felt a sharp pain assaulting his face. Even though his strength was higher than Emma's, he felt the pain. 

He tried to say something but his words were stuck in his throat.

* SLAP *

Emma slapped him again as tears continued to stream down her cheeks.

Darell felt his heart tightening around his chest when he saw her tearful gaze.

Emma pounded his chest with her fists. Darell didn't do anything and let her vent her frustrations out.

After a few minutes, she stopped pounding his chest and hugged him tightly as if she was afraid if she let him go then she would lose him forever.

Darell sighed while hugging her back. He stroked her hair which made Emma shiver in delight.

Emma then lifted her head to look at Darell and said "Don't you ever leave me again. I swear I will kill myself and then haunt you when I find you."

Darell smiled and replied "I will never leave you again. I promise."

Emma's face bloomed as a beautiful smile formed on her face.

Darell saw the smile which made his heart skip a beat. He kissed her forehead which made Emma blush.

She hurriedly hid her face in his chest. Darell smiled when he saw her cute reaction.

He then looked at Lilith who was watching him with tears in her eyes and also a beautiful smile on her face. 

Darell gestured for Lilith to come over to him. Lilith jumped at him and hugged him tightly while saying "I don't want to be alone, brother. Please don't leave me."

Darell stroked her hair and replied, " I promise."

He then gestured for Eric and Ariel to come over and they shared a big and passionate hug.

They stayed like that for a couple of minutes.

After a couple of minutes, Darell and the others sat in the medicine hall where Darell asked them various questions.

They explained to him that he had been unconscious for a whole week. This revelation left him in shock and he then realized the pain they felt when they saw him in that state powerless to do anything.

He sighed and made a mental note to never deplete his MP.

They then explained what they had been doing for the past week.

Darell was surprised when he learned that they had leveled up to level 10. He was pleased with their progress. 

They then informed him that the Dean had been regularly visiting him when he was unconscious. This surprised him because he had never met the Dean before.

They also informed him that the Dean had been questioning them about his abilities.

Darell narrowed his eyes and felt that he should be wary of the Dean. He didn't know the Dean's plans but he wouldn't be a part of them.

They then asked him about his rapid regeneration to which he calmly replied that he had obtained a passive regeneration ability due to his Space ability. He felt bad lying to them but it was for their own sake.

As they were talking, an Instructor entered and politely made his presence known.

He said "Congratulations on your recovery, Darell."

Darell politely nodded his head and thanked him.

The Instructor then spoke in a serious tone.

" The Dean has requested your presence in his office."

Darell narrowed his eyes and sighed. He couldn't help but have a bad feeling about this.

He gestured to the Instructor as he got up.

He then said goodbyes to his friends and followed the Instructor to the Dean's office.

The Dean's office was located in the middle of the Academy. It was surrounded by various halls. 

Darell saw the building and couldn't help but feel bad about it. 

The building was very small and ordinary for it to be the Dean's office. If one is not aware, he/she might mistake this to be some kind of shop.

He took a deep breath and knocked on the door.

The door opened by itself and Darell walked in.

When he entered the building, he saw a lavish interior that completely contrasted the ordinary look it had on the outside.

He saw a man with long white hair who seemed to be in his 60s but he had a youthful appearance on his face which was devoid of scars or wrinkles.

The Dean was sipping tea while looking at Darell with a curious gaze. He gestured for Darell to sit.

The Dean placed the teacup and said "I will get straight to the point."

He narrowed his eyes and asked, "Do you have a regeneration ability?"

Darell calmly nodded.

The Dean further questioned him.

"How did you manage to defeat a rank 06 beast? You should not have been able to fight toe to toe with a rank 06 beast much less defeat it, considering your level."

Darell knew he couldn't tell him about the skills he obtained from the system because he hadn't seen or heard the skills from anyone nor it was written in any of the books in the library.

So, he put on a facade and calmly lied.

"I had obtained some Space ability skills when the Instructors gave me the Space ability scrolls to study in the library. One of the skills was to double your stats at a heavy cost of MP."

The Dean couldn't help but accept Darell's explanation. He knew Space ability users were extremely mysterious. 

He continued questioning him and Darell kept lying with a straight face.

At evening,

Darell walked out of the Dean's office with an annoyed look. Every time he dodged a question, the old man would ask two more questions instead. He also found him prodding his level but Darell quickly used Conceal and readjusted them to level 10.

He made a mental note to stay away from the Dean.

He then walked towards his dorm room where he quickly took a bath and changed his clothes. He then went to the dining hall where everyone was waiting for him. They chatted happily and Darell could see that they were relieved.

After they had eaten, they went to their respective dorm rooms.

Darell lay on his bed and sighed while pondering on the things that happened while he was asleep.

He then shifted his attention to the battle where he was reminded of the system's warning. He then promised himself to never ignore the system's words.

As if answering his words, a voice resounded in his head.

[ It's been a long time, host.]
