Eugene feels good.

With Timber by his side and within his sight, all his fears and worries disappear as he started to focus on looking at the bright side of his rebirth.

It didn't take long for the class to end and the professor in charge couldn't help but glance at Eugene who seems to be listening to his lecture from the very start and started to feel satisfied.

Though surprised, he didn't bother to point out Eugene in class and just left silently after dismissing his students.

Leaving the classroom under the watchful eyes of everyone...

Timber and Eugene decided to spend time in the garden to discuss the upcoming selection this month. After all, it's a very important event that students are looking forward to because the upcoming selection will determine which department a 'Meza Eusto' student will enter after graduating.

There are different types of selection and it consists of different classes based on different departments of 'Neva Eusto'.

Selection:  Symphony (Music Department)
Selection: Artistry (Art Department)
Selection: Warfare (Military Department)

And so on...

Eugene will surely sign up for Warfare selection to practice his previous skills so that he can be ready once he joins the upcoming war.

"I hate it! Why can't I be good at swordsmanship?!"

Timber bit on his sandwich aggressively.

"Why insist? Sword is dangerous for you."

"Why? If I can wield a sword then we'll be together after graduating. I'm not even blessed with magic so how can I be compared to you?"

Eugene's expression chilled making Timber flinch.

"Be good. No matter what, you're not allowed to wield a sword."

Timber lowered his head aggrievedly while eating, making Eugene helpless.

"Timber, it's enough for you to have me by your side. I will protect you so you don't need to do anything other than doing what you like. Even if we're not in the same department after graduating, I will still come to you to spend my time so don't push yourself too much."

Timber raised his head and looked at Eugene with teary eyes.

"B-But if you become a knight you will go to war, w-what if something happens to you? If only I was blessed with magic then I can be a healer and be with you on the battlefield so I can rest assured that you're safe."

Eugene's heartache.

You don't need to make the decision for my sake.

It's me who needed to make up for my mistake of making death the only reason to help you ease up your pain.

I am guilty no matter how many timelines I traveled.

"Timber..."

Holding the hands of his best friend, Eugene wanted to cry, but couldn't...because he don't want Timber to see his pain, to witness his suffering.

All he can do is hide everything.

"I-I'm sorry. I-I'm really sorry."

Timber looks confused.

"Why are you apologizing to me?"

Letting go of the hand that he wanted to hold a long time ago, Eugene laugh.

"Nothing. I'm glad that you're thinking of me."

Timber rolled his eyes, "It's your first time being dramatic, it doesn't suit you!"
