Arc: Level C [Continued]

April 14- Day 14H

What.... Is this feeling?

...

It was as if I was let free by some type of unknown chain. Though the real question I had was...

Was this a good thing? Is this what I really want...?

Should I fight back... somehow...?

Should I give in to this unknown force... that is seemingly helping me though using me... all at once?

What should I do?

    I suddenly wake up, finding myself in Zarith's arm.

    "Well that didn't take as long as I expected it to," he comments with a chuckle.

    I quickly move back, pushing myself away from him. I then quickly look away before taking a repeated amount of breaths. "Y-you-"

    "Do you remember everything... that just happened?" he interjects.

    I look at him for a few more seconds before my energy skips a beat, startling me. I nearly fall to the floor before I catch myself using the wall besides me. I continue to take a few deep breaths before looking around the room.

    "M-my energy... it's-"

    "Heightened," Zarith interjects once again.

    "Y-yeah.... How... why...?"

    "Because you regained access to another part of your abilities. I'm sure you can guess what I mean by that."

    "Him... You mean this is because... of his appearance?" Zarith remains silent as he glances at me. "H-he appeared... because of you, right? You're responsible for this-"

    He smirks. "And is that a problem?" He pauses as he analyzes me. "Are you upset? Why?" Before I can speak, he continues. "Don't you remember... our deal? In the end, that deal was made by the other side of you... right? The side of you before your memory was lost."

    I remain silent for a few seconds as I let his words sink in. I grab onto the wall once again before closing my eyes. The aura surrounding me was much stronger than before, making me feel a bit uncomfortable. I wonder if I'll even be able to conceal my aura as much as I could before.

    "I-" I shake my head, unsure of what else to add. I continue to look around the room, and finally walk towards the few large monitors located on the other side, propped up against the wall. "What is this..." I whisper as I look down at the keyboards.

    Once I click on a random button, the monitors all turn on, with the initials of EAA shown on the side monitors and a list of names and addresses shown in the middle largest monitor.

    After looking at the lists of names, I realize that the names were listed, and some were crossed out. "This... this is a target list," I say once I finally realize. "It's divided into levels, see." I point at the screen, first at the top part including levels as high as level Rs, all the way down to the weakest beings, humans.
