Only a year had passed and things seem to cool down. Students are now in their college years and things are going smoothly.
Meanwhile, Damian was in a class where the professor was teaching Philosophy. To be fair, he was a little bored at the time.
As soon as the final bell rang, he walked out of the classroom and went back to his dorm. Along the way, he met a couple of his classmates.
"Hey, uh, I was wondering if you could give me your opinion on this story I wrote." a girl named Yona asked as he handed Damian a folder,
"Sure thing. I'll look into it and I'll let you know what I think of it soon." Damian replied, "I'll give it back to you the next time we meet."
"Okay. Thanks!" Yona said and went to her dorm.
Damian opened the door to his room and found his roommate Mayn sitting in front of a computer doing some editing.
As Damian places his bag down on his bed, he noticed some sort of metal chain dangling out of his bag. He took it out and realized that it was his medallion.
He exhaled deeply, 'I wonder where you are now, Neon.' he thought to himself, as he began to recall what happened,
After the defeat of the Dark Dragon, at one point, Neon and Damian talked for the last time before saying their good-byes. With Neon finally regaining all of his memories, he is now free to go into the world where spirits like him can be at peace.
Still holding that medallion, Damian immediately put it in his bag and took out his laptop as he started doing his homework until it was night time.
The very next day, Damian woke up at around 6:30 AM. After changing his clothes, he grabbed his phone and quietly went out of the dorm.
As he was walking, he looked around to see if there have been any changes and so far, he only saw a supermarket having its grand opening.
He was about to go back when he saw someone in the distance and realized that it was Maria. She was just there looking at her phone minding her own business. Damian was about to walk towards her until he trailed to a halt after what he saw next.
Maria stopped looking at her phone and saw a guy walking towards her. They both hugged each other and were chatting for a bit. Then they both held hands and walked away.
Damian took a deep breath and walked away. 'It's probably better if she doesn't remember me.' he thought to himself,
He suddenly felt his phone vibrating. He picked it up and saw a couple of messages in a group chat. It was his friends. James invited them to go to the movies and almost all of them agreed.
But while Damian was walking, he bumped into a girl and they both fell. He quickly got up and helped the girl up and realized that it was Justine!
