"Oh, and professor Exell wanted to talk to you. He asked to tell you to et him at his office tomorrow morning."
Serria added up before putting her spoon in her mouth.
Kairen glanced at Reyan who was looking back at him.
Who is this professor Excel?
Serria continued. The way she talked seed like she was quite close with Reyan and Kairen and know them more or less.
"Anyway, aren't you two acting weird?"
"....Weird?"
Serria pointed at Kairen with her fork.
"Yep. Especially you. You have been staring at with that stupid look since I ca."
"…"
"Yes, exactly that stupid face."
"…"
'What? Was that an insult now? Should I get mad or sothing?'
But he didn't need to do so as Reyan skillfully changed the topic.
"Why does the professor want to et him?"
"Hmm? How would I know? Ah, you as well Reyan, what's with you these days?"
"What?"
Or he tried so.
Rayan and Kairen glanced at each other again.
Although Reyan had inford the academy about what had happened to Kairen to so extent, other students and most probably professors still didn't know about it. Reyan just told them that he needed so rest to recover. He explained to Kairen that it would be best if they didn't tell people about his mory loss this soon as people's reactions would be hard to deal with. And also, there was a possibility of Kairen being expelled if the academy knows that he had lost even his basic abilities. What was the point of keeping soone with zero knowledge?
That ans, Kairen's current situation was a secret, or most parts of it were. Even if this girl was their friend, it was best not to tell her everything. The said girl looked at how they exchanged aningful glances as she opened her mouth in an irritated tone again.
"What the… Stop glancing at each other!"
Serria, who was clearly annoyed at how they didn't answer her, tapped the table with the back of his spoon.
'Argh, why does she talk so much?'
Kairen forcefully stuffed all of his remaining food into his mouth and stood up. He felt like he would ss things up if he was to stay here any longer. Kairen could see the look of 'Don't leave alone with her!' in Reyan's eyes but he ignored his friend's begging eyes and started walking away.
'Sorry bro but I'm running away.'
"What? You are running away! I am sure now, you are hiding sothing! Hey Heeeeeey!!"
Kairen ignored her words and walked away. Just like that, he went back to his room. He had to study again.
"Haa! No matter how much I read them, I still don't understand."
Ha nagged loudly in the empty room as he sat on the chair again.
"Don't they have a guidebook for beginners or sothing like that?"
He recalled Reyan telling him to look at his old notebooks before. Kairen opened his desk drawer. He could see a few notebooks and lots of papers there. He picked up all of them and placed them on the table. He bent down to check if there were any left in the drawer.
"Hmm?"
In the bottom of the drawer, there was an old notebook. He wouldn't see that if he hadn't moved all the papers. He picked it up. The numbers 2548 were typed on its cover, indicating that this notebook was for the year 2548, 10 years ago. Kairen opened the first page without thinking much about it.
"What is… this…"
The notebook was old and its pages weren't in good condition, so were torn, so seed to have been dried after getting wet. Ink marks were here and there. But that wasn't what was important. The words, the words were written in a language that didn't exist here, but Kairen could fully understand them. The words were in his mother tongue. When Kairen first ca to this world, he realized that the language people spoke wasn't his language. But he could sohow understand them.
In this world which was completely different from his own, there didn't exist the languages of his past world as well. So, there shouldn't be soone here who could write in this language, but the notebook in his hands clearly had aningful sentences.
[I don't know… I … can't rember the past…]
The words were scattered here and there as if the author himself didn't know what he was writing.
[I keep forgetting them… so… I will write them down.
The tiny bits of the past…. And … the dreams… those weird mories… the mories of the future…
The only thing I rember… my na… Kairen. It's Kairen. Kairen Steyton.
I shouldn't forget it… never… my age… Ah, how old was I again?]
Kairen couldn't understand the notebook's contents at all. Was the author Kairen 1? He thought it may be a diary but it doesn't seem to be the case. Was his ntality alight? The mories of the future?
[I keep seeing it… in my dreams… that dark gray light… dark gray eyes… beautiful, those eyes were… clear and beautiful…]
'What? Dark gray light?'
[I don't know when… or where… I was standing there… A hand… reached out towards … chaos… it was collapsing… I felt that… it hurt so much …]
'What are these supposed to an?'
Kairen had an ominous feeling, and the feeling grew more intense as he continued reading. The gray light… he was sure it was what he was looking for, but he didn't expect to find a clue about it in this place. Kairen felt like he had done sothing he shouldn't have...like he read sothing he wasn't supposed to read. His heart was beating fast but he still turned the page.
[was it the future? … Or a dream? … it was a vast stadium… and a black-haired girl in front of … then it shook. Everything shook…. It cracked… and vanished. It hit … it… wasn't a dream…]
'Huh?'
Wasn't this scene the sa that he had heard a lot about in the past few days? Wasn't it when Kairen was hit in the test? How did he know about it?
'And he doesn't seem to be sure himself, is it just a coincidence?'
Click.
It was the mont that the door opened and soone walked in. It was Reyan.
"Hey, how could you leave alone with that girl!"
Reyan walked towards the desk as he continued.
"Do you even know what I went through to…."
But he couldn't continue his sentence when he looked at Kairen. He was sitting on the chair staring at an old notebook with a slightly pale face. Kairen looked up at him, thinking that he had arrived at a perfect ti.
"Was this notebook mine?"
"Yes…"
"What are its contents about? Do you know?"
"No, you used to write in it in a weird language. I didn't ask about it since it seed sothing personal."
"I see."
Reyan stopped for a mont as if thinking about sothing.
"Ah… but, you once said that it will help you rember…?"
Reyan paused on his words and glanced at the notebook as if he just understood his own words' aning. He blinked a few tis and then frowned.
Kairen on the other hand had chills all over his body.
'Holy shit, was this guy a prophet or sothing?'
