I got out of the class A dorm building and was now on the grounds. All of the things that I needed to do were done, and all the preparations that I needed had been made. Now it was ti for to leave the academy and go to Roswell city—go to where my parents were.
There was roughly an hour left before the start of the academy fest, and if I rember correctly the calamity hits about two to two and a half hours after the start of the fest.
Last ti it took about four and a half hours to reach the speed at my max speed, and when I reached there it looked like the calamity had reached there only a few monts ago.
This clarified two things. First, the portals that caused the demon beasts to enter this world and start the calamity won't open all over the world at the sa ti. Second, Sofrora City was the epicenter of the calamity. If I take the guess then it should start from the very center of the city.
This gave a lot more ti to cover the distance between the two cities since the last I left for my ho was when I saw the calamity hit the school and even then I reached there only a few monts after the calamity.
So now if I were to leave before the calamity even started, the chances of making it in ti were quite high. Also, my stats had increased to B now so I was going to get a boost from that as well.
I had assigned work to Alada too, Ryfin's book was strapped within my cloak and everything was ready, thus I was good to go. I quickly went up on the roof of my dorm building since that was the closest to the boundary of the academy.
Standing before the railing I gazed out at the city as the wind gushing out from the clouds and brushing through trees embraced and danced around , fluttering my cloak forward.
There were people in front of . Families, walking on the roads and enjoying their ti of life. There were little children playing around, and people going to their daily jobs. Soon all this was going to get destroyed.
Right now I had the power to stop it. If I told the authorities then they can at least evacuate the city before the calamity hits. But I was going to do none of that.
Many students from the academy were going to die too, there will probably be so whom I knew.
Though I doubt that would make much difference. Most of the people I knew in the academy had negative relations with . Either they wanted dead or I wanted them dead.
'Actually no, now that I think about it there might be one person I was sowhat interested in. The girl with strawberry blonde hair worked at night in the cafeteria. I wonder if she will die too, but ah well. There's nothing I can do about it.'
Those last words were just ant to console . Since I could save her if I wanted to, but I wasn't doing any of that since I didn't want to waste any ti.
It took a few minutes to clear my mind with those thoughts, though in reality, I might have liked to stay and think about them for a little longer
A sigh escaped my mouth as I looked up toward the sky; it was gray as if it were going to rain soon. I jumped and stepped on the slim iron railing. Then I used elental magic and created pressure below my feet. I think you should take a look at
I let it charge for a few minutes and then released it. Two explosions occurred, each below my feet launching high up in the air.
When I reached the maximum height I froze the dust particles below my feet and created a platform for to stand. However, now ca the hard part which was going to use up a lot of my mana.
Because even though I could create a platform by freezing the dust particles below , that platform of ice was going to fall down due to gravity since there was nothing holding it up in the air.
Therefore I had to create a new platform and step on it before the previous one fell. This was basically what I did before too, but this ti I was a little worried since there was a chance of people seeing up here. Also, this ti since there were people below I had to disintegrate the ice platform before it fell upon soone's head.
Although I didn't have the privilege to worry about such things. Thus I went forward with my plan and started dashing forth toward Roswell City as fast as I could. And surely this ti stepping on the next platform felt a little easier since my stats had gone up; I felt like my speed was faster than before as well.
'How much ti would it take for us to reach there if I kept going at this speed?'
[It's not accurate, but around three and a half hours.]
'Let's make it three then.'
With that, I filled my entire body with mana and ran as fast as I could. I was having so problems keeping up with it since my body was not used to traveling at this speed. However, that problem got resolved on its own as I went along with it.

While Zero was doing his best to reach Roswell City as soon as possible, there was a battle going on. And it was not the usual battle you would expect, it was a battle of inner struggle; a battle one fights with themselves, with their own mind.
The Requiem sword was tied to his waist, and inside that sword was Req's soul. Inside a completely dark space, she was sitting in the center, hugging her knees and looking down.
Ever since the ti jump, she was constantly thinking about sothing. It has caused a major difference in how she responded and talked to Zero, but since he was too caught up with things at the mont he didn't notice that.
There were two extres going on inside her head that were fighting each other. She was trying to make a decision, and that decision was going to decide what was going to happen to Zero in the upcoming turn of events.
