Chapter 41 : Class of the Wasted

I...I can be selfish?

Despite being a very simple question and with a very clear answer, my mind was still completely obsessed with finding it, and sincerely, I also almost forgot why I was even thinking about it at this point.

...but I didn't...despite being able to simply forget about this matter and to simply stop thinking about it...I just couldn't.

Worst of even, I wasn't even able to get convinced by a single excuse I told myself.

'Maybe asking for delaying a reunion isn't considered as selfish here.' That was my first one, but I quickly dismissed it as it seemed that I was the one who asked for a change, for a reason that would only benefit me. What was it if not selfish?

So in the end, I was left alone trying to look at every of my memory that didn't cause me pain to maybe found a reason, or a simple evidence that what just happen wasn't him accepting my selfish request...maybe a trap, maybe he would add a consequence to it later, maybe I imagined the whole thing, maybe I heard wrong, maybe he spoke wrong...or maybe...it didn't matter.

I was so preoccupied by this task that I didn't even hear Colress further instructions...if he even talked to me. All I know is that he sat back down on his own desk and continued to read while enjoying the silence of the room.

Even when Pandora presented me a half-eaten eaten poképuff with pleading eyes, I wasn't able to react. The reason was that I was fully focused on a memory, so I was only made aware after finishing it.

...I found him in my arm, and with sadness deep inside me.

... let's add it to the list of memories I will put deeper inside my mind...I found a lot of these during my recent research...now...next o...euh?

For the first time since I started to search for an answer, I was distracted. But not because of any pain, but because I suddenly felt a ray of lightning entering my brain. Not one I produced myself, but one coming from outside, I could tell because this one actually seemed happy to be there.

Now what could this possibly...AWAWAH!

All of my body suddenly grew tense as all of my muscles tightened, which rendered me unable to maintain my form and I fell off my chair.

I had no other choice but to refocus on the world outside to find a way to avoid my skull from hitting the ground, but it was a useless concern, as Pandora already grabbed my head and the rest of my body to avoid any collision.

"...sorry Luciel...but you responded as if you were dead...so I had to make sure you weren't." I was finally able to catch the meaning of a voice, and a quick look allowed me to see Iono with one of her fingers pointed toward me with some lightning arc covering it.

...wait...Iono? What is she doing there...are people finally here?

I quickly looked around, sitting beside me were only Mina who already looked tired from the class as she was already lying her head on her arm, and Allister tried his best to look mad at me, but couldn't stop himself from giving me worried glance as he hugged his plushie.

I also noticed that other people were behind me, but none of them were from people that I knew their name...but all of them seemed as equally lazy as Mina

... it seems I took a lot of time just looking at my memory that I lost track of time...well nothing new I guess.

"So, are you doing okay now Luciel...or did you need more rest? I mean, I understand that sometimes the stress renders you unable to count the wooloo jumping above the fence, but that's why you must throw the wooloo over it yourself in this case!" Iono regained her joyful attitude when she noticed that my movement had regained some liveness.
