I can't say that i hadn't anticipated this happening, her cutting off the call like that, but i didn't expect my question to lead her to react this fast, the moment i uttered the name Regina, she ended the call, but i believe that it was worth calling her, i already got to know the answer .
Even though, i was beyond excited, i was also a little bit wary of what might come in my way next, luckily all the exhaustion that i was feeling before, had vanished after my little talk with Tokiko and setting things right was her, i was so engrossed in trying to appease her that i also completely forgot to ask about why did she mentioned Momochi-senpai too .
Just as i was thinking of this, my phone rang, it haven't been even 10 seconds from the last call, i was still holding it in my hand, i answered as quickly as possible after seeing that the one who was calling me, was none other than the person who ended the call just now, the principal was calling me .
The moment i opened the call, i was surprised that the person on the phone wasn't the principal, but her little sister Maya, she was asking about what I told her sister just now .
I was surprised by the question and i still answered her, saying the same question again, i was then surprised once more when she said :
So that why Mari onee-sama was hitting her forehead in the w..... .
The call ended again, at the end of her words, i was able to understand what was happening on the other side and couldn't help but laugh a little at this and tried to call the number again and again, 7 times in a row and in those 7 times the call didn't connect even once .
I already reached my room and was heating up some of the food left from yesterday, I finished all these portions of food and was still not unsatisfied completely, i can't help but notice that i was becoming quite of a glutton myself, but like my body shape didn't change even a little .
As i rested my head on the bed, i was recalling all that happened today, from knowing that i was being given a new identity and it being even reported to the higher ups in the Union, all the way to having to deal with the trauma of my my old love life, i couldn't help but cover my face with my hands out of complete embarrassment of the words that i said to Tokiko .
I loved Evelyn, but i had loved Regina even more, i lived with Evelyn for quite the long time, but the same can't be said about Regina, but that didn't decrease her position in my heart in the slightest, in fact, I'm now able to confirm that i lived with Evelyn at first just so that i can fulfill Regina last wish to me .
But there was also still a massive problem existing even if the two Evelyn and Regina accepted the existence of one another, my Mom won't probably agree of all of this and sadly she had every right to do so, I too seemed to still blame myself a little for her situation, my birth wasn't what led them to divorce, but it was one of the factors that widened the gap between the two .
So her accepting me having two wives is very unlikely to happen, i don't know whether will that change if she knew about the peculiar situation of them being my wives in my past life .
There was also the girl made of light, who i still held dear in my heart, the girl Satsuki as well, wait a minute, so that was her on the phone before, she was the one calling me to give me her thanks, i wonder .
The voice tone was indeed similar, but i didn't get enough time to hear it clearly, so i could be making a mistake with coming to a conclusion with incomplete information like this, but if it was her, what was she thanking me for exactly .
For some reason i kept feeling a warm feeling as i saw that enthusiastic bro-con girl, so her being another past life was very much possible, as i thought of this, my phone rang one last time, the call came from the principal, i answered the call and said :
" Hello .
But there was no response on the other side, we both stayed in silent for over 10 minutes, I tried to check on her, but there was still no response, i was beginning to lose faith in this call and was about to say goodbye and hang up, but then i was surprised to finally hear a voice on the other side of the call, she said :
You, you are Lucius ? .
" I'm princess .
You, you, you remember ? .
" I did .
Surprisingly she once again ended the call, but this time i was happy that she answered, i set the alarm and went to sleep, i felt like having butterflies swirling in my stomach, i had smile on my face that no matter how i tried it seemed to be fixed like that, so i let of trying to interfere with it and went to sleep like this .
But the next day i woke up with a frown on my face, i had a bad dream, a familiar one and that what made things worse, it happening once before could make it nothing but a nightmare, but it happening two times that can only mean that it was no longer possible to label it as just a dream, it was a vision .
One that i had before on my first day at school, one that i wasn't able to clearly understand or witnes it at that time, but this time it was difference, i was able to experience it fully this time .
In that vision i was sitting in a garden in front of the made of Light Palace resting my head in the lap of the gracious face, i kept seeing in my dreams, it was the same girl made of light, then a shadow figure with red eyes kept circling around the garden that were in, it seemed that it was not a threat, so I let it be, but i then closed my eyes in the dream the next time i opened my eyes, i saw that the scene in front of me completely changed .
The garden was now a barren land, the magnificent Palace was destroyed, winged creatures bodies were surrounding me, one body in particular made me completely shocked to the point of falling down on my knees and screaming loudly in the air, the body in my hand was the body of the graciously and gorgeously smiling woman i saw before, she now laying in my hands completely dead with a dagger in her heart, no matter what healing spell i used, it was to no avail .
the dagger made the body turn to gray as if it had sucked all the brilliance she had in here before, what made me even more saddened was the fact that even in death, she was still smiling at me as before as if that were her way of saying goodbye to me .
A few alive winged people arrived at the scene and completely disregarding the traumatic experience i was now having, they began asking questions and investigating what happened, they all believed that i was the main suspect and were asking me to turn myself in, the same shadowed figure appeared in my point of view and i wasted no time to arrive before him and directly held his throat .
They tried to interfere, but a blazing blood storm appeard and the moment it touched anyone of them, it completely disintegrated him into nothing, i felt something suddenly crashing into my body and saw the same exact dagger that i saw in the body earlier trying to pierce through my body, but due to time entanglement that i kept around myself, it wasn't able to pierce through my skin no matter how hard he tried to push it .
I conjured a Time Binding Chains and held them around all the people present especially the person in front of me, scene turned into a silent as i kept dismembering his limbs one by one, regrowing them back for him and then dismembering them again, that continued for years of time in the time field, i put around him, he was tasting the same torturous feelings for centuries, before he chose to self-destruct, but even that wasn't allowed by me .
Every time he tried to kill himself, he would find me upon him fortifying the shackles that bind him and torturing him for a longer time, he wasn't getting accustomed to the pain, I took away that sense of him, he was the torturous pain every time, as it was the first time, the other winged people tried to release him a few times, but all cowered the moment i gave my condition to release him .
The condition of mine was simple, if they wanted to release him from his cursed fate, then one of them might as well volunteer to take his place that was the condition, not any one of them dared to bring this matter anymore, some tried to resort to violence, but they were all deterred by the threat of not dying but instead being captured and put in the same state as that guy .
But even after i did this, i felt my heart was still angry, i should have at least felt more at ease after getting my revenge on the guy who did this, but for some reason, i was feeling empty, the vision of mine in the dream suddenly shifted to another familiar scene .
It was the scene of me being surrounded by darkness and from that darkness huge shadows of massive creatures were being clearly visible through the darkness, all looking at me with a fearful expressions on their faces, but i was more concerned about the fact that i was staring in front of me .
I was once again staring at the 15 lines of a spell, one that i was still unable to completely understand but now, i was able to comprehend the very first few lines, i was beginning to believe that whatever this spell was trying to achieve, it was something that had quite the severe consequences, the fearful expressions on all those Monsters face was an indication of that as well .
The spell was then released, i was able to caught a glimpse of the fabric of reality in front of me began to crack, then it completely shattered, not a small piece from it was left, all that was left in front of me was whiteness, whiteness that seemed to have no end and no beginning, then i woke up .
Completely frowning and unable to tell what was going on, i wasn't interested in what the last scene meant, i was more interested in finding out what happened to the shadowed figure in that vision i recalled, did i kill it, or did i sealed it away, those winged guys, what exactly were they, i suddenly felt my eyes getting all watery, i was staring at my hands when i suddenly began seeing tears flowing and falling on my hands .
I know the reason why i was crying, but that didn't mean that i was able to stop it, no, i was grieving the loss of someone very precious to me, someone that i had remembered after a quite long time, but the memories of me losing him were still haunting me to this day, they were enough to clutch my heart so tighly, that i was beginning to find a problem with just breathing .
After a long time, the alarm began to rang, only then did i discover that i actually woke up much early than the alarm, but its ringing at least allowed me to get back my attention, i finally stopped crying, but it wasn't due to not feeling sad any more, no, it was because my intuition came kicking again, this time it came with a message that had made me shift from sadness to anticipation .
The thought of mine was about her being alive like Evelyn and Regina and was just waiting for me currently to find her, that thought filled me with so much hope that i completely discarded any other thoughts for the time being .
I was now full of hope again, i got up from the bed, got myself cleaned while at at, i kept recalling the frightened expression all those creatures from before had on their faces, I can't seem to recall their shapes correctly, but i can tell that those guys were Metaphysicals, or something very similar, but they had much a larger scale in size and probably strength too, so for them to show such a fear .
Then whatever that spell i used did, it must have been enough to shock them like that, but the only thing that i remembered happening next was seeing whiteness all over me, then the whole scene come to an end, at thinking of this, i couldn't help but realize that if she managed to reincarnate, then can it be possible that wretched guy was able to do so too .
Will he try doing something similar again, will he try to take her from me, at this thought my whole body suddenly become tensed, but soon it relaxed again, the reason was that in the last moments while those lines of the spell were being written on the air, i was able to get a few more spells that i had before, two of them was very familiar to me .
One was Healing Reverse and Shattering, the first was responsible for healing others by reversing back their time back to exactly before they got hurt, the latter Shattering, allowed me to keep hitting the same spot numerous times in a time stopping like loop .
The reason to why they were familiar, was due to the fact that those exact same spells i used at the mall and those that were reasons to why I'm even attending this school, I'm finally graduating from being a failed proper Time Battle Mage, they were known for their healing abilities before i came to be, even though there were other before me who tried to take the path of combat, none were ever to reach the same heights as me .
I now have the ability to heal my loved ones, even from grave injuries, i also feel a bit shift in my Mana lately, so the visions that kept occuring to me were changing my physical body as well as my mentality .
After i got ready, i discarded all of these thoughts and pushed all of them aside for now, i instead looked at the mirror and saw that i had a longing expression on my face and quite the smile on my face, i seemed to be incredibly happy about something and that was indeed true, i sat the alarm almost an hour early, for giving myself a chance to go and meet with the person i currently needed to meet the most, after a quick breakfast meal .
