Happy Reading~

===========

"Damn... Mr. Ian, I hope you’re okay. Right now I can’t move from where I am. The power of Wrath is too much of a burden on my body." Eris muttered to herself, unable to help but think that she was completely useless.

If she could have reacted faster, I wouldn’t have needed to be sent elsewhere.

But what she expected could not happen.

In the end, the current me was taken somewhere.

Plus, she was no longer able to stand.

If she moved, she would definitely fall from where she was.

And worst of all, Eris’ consciousness, couldn’t help but fall.

But what? There was no point for Eris to move.

In the end, it was impossible for Eris to reach the place where the ritual was located.

Suddenly, Eris, she heard a cracking sound right above the ritual area.

*Crack!-*

Finally, Eris’ gaze, couldn’t help but show a hint of surprise.

"This power... Alicia’s magic? Did they succeed?"

After a while, a man’s figure appeared right above the ruins.

Having no other choice, Eris, she could only scream in annoyance.

"You’re late! Damn! I almost died you know..."

"Hm? Where are the others?" for a moment, Ash, he couldn’t help but look around the place he was in.

He was curious, wanting to know where the people around him had gone.

"Eris? Thank goodness we managed to find you!"

’...Your reactions are slow, idiot.’

Still, when it comes to sensitivity, Ash, he’s an idiot.

Come to think of it, Eris had shouted from the start that she was in this place.

But he didn’t have any reaction.

It was as if, to Ash, he was more concerned with other things.

"Did you know we were very worried about you?"

"Hah... You really are... But well, help me up."

"Oh, leave it to me." because didn’t know what to do, Ash, he was forced to help Eris walk.

Don’t know why, but he did this because he thought Eris’ current situation wasn’t good.

Judging from Eris’ wounds, he knew that Eris had just gone through a crazy battle.

Maybe it was true, Ash, he was wondering what kind of creature Eris was facing.

But he didn’t intend to ask further.

He knew, realized that Eris was in a bad mood.

"Eris! Are you okay?!"

"Alicia... You came just in time. Help me heal my leg."

"But are you okay?

"You could say yes and no. Therefore, hurry and heal me."

"Okay!"

*Syush-*

While Alicia was healing Eris’ wounds, a hint of curiosity appeared in her mind.

Don’t know why, but she remembered a man.

That man, he was one of their colleagues.

"By the way, where did Eric go?"

"Eric? Who knows? I thought he went looking for you guys?"

"Okay... We can look for him later. Heal yourself first. Then we’ll go to look for students from other classes."

"I know..."

Without realizing it, they heard the sound of footsteps right near them.

New n𝙤vel chapters are published on freeweɓnøvel.com.

"You guys here? It is such a coincidence."

"Eric? What are you doing? And... What is that sword?" didn’t know what was going on, but Ash, he couldn’t help but feel curious.

In Ash’s mind, Eric’s sword gave off a slightly sinister aura.

It was as if, the pressure from this sword could devour any living creature.

Luckily, Ash, he wasn’t too affected by the intimidation of this sword.

Likewise Eris and Alicia, their reactions were similar to Ash’s.

They were curious, wanting to know what sword Eric was carrying.

’Damn man... I knew he wouldn’t find a way out of this place.’ Eris thought, unable to help but snort in annoyance.

From the start, he knew that Eric’s plan was to use the four of us

As long as Eric is given space, it is not impossible that he can achieve something.

And now, what Eris thought really happened.

’But still... What is that sword? Why do I feel intimidated? Could it be... This is the treasure from this tomb?’ as if realizing what was happening, Eris, she thought Eric’s sword was a treasure from this tomb.

If not for that, it would be impossible for this sword to give off such a terrifying aura.

But still, what Eric brought must definitely be his.

In the academy rules, when someone obtains a treasure from their hunt.

Of course, the treasure must belong to them.

Otherwise, they were afraid that the students would not feel like they got their justice.

"This is a sword I found by accident. I thought this was something an expert would have?"

"Hm... What a beautiful sword. The color of this sword is really blackish silver. You are lucky."

"Hehe, I myself didn’t think I would get a sword like this."

"You’re finally back. Can you stop making small talk? How was the task I asked you to do? Did you carry it out?"

Suddenly, Eric’s expression showed a trace of reluctance on his face.

He knew, knew that this woman was testing his actions.

’You want to know? Let me tell you what the consequences would be if you asked me this far.’

"I’m sorry. I failed to find a way out. I even had to be blocked by a group of monsters on the way. Therefore, I couldn’t fulfill your task."

"Oh... You were ambushed by monsters but still managed to obtain a High Rank treasure? What’s the meaning of this?"

"It can’t be helped? Luck always seems to be on my side. Thanks to those monsters, I was able to obtain this sword."

"Is it true? Wasn’t it intentional?"

"..."

*Grab!-*

Within a few moments, a slight cold began to envelope the area around where they were.

Just look, Eric’s expression, full of menace.

"Stop! Have you two forgotten the rules of the academy? Also, Eris, you should stop being rude to Eric. He is also our friend."

"Fine, fine. Since you said so, I can’t help but follow your orders."

Because there was no other choice, Eris, she was forced to forget what happened.

If it weren’t for me, Eris, she would have died at the hands of this monster.

"...Done. Can you walk now?"

"Yeah. Thank you, Alicia."

Not wanting to linger, Eris, she decided to walk towards the place where I was thrown.

For now, Eris’ main priority is to leave and to look for me.

’Mr. Ian, you have to live. I promise, I will definitely take you alive from this place.’

...

*Drip-* *Drip-* *Drip-*

"Why me? Where am I? What is this place? The road? No, this is the afterlife."I muttered to myself, unable to suppress the slightest smile on my face.

I think, the current me has died for the second time.

But unfortunately, what I thought didn’t really happen.

"Wait... This body... Wasn’t this me in my first life? How could that be?" In a split second, a hint of panic crossed my face.

Don’t know why, but I see myself now as when I was on earth.

If look at my body, it looks exactly the same as when I lived my first life.

’Is this a recap of my life after death?’

"Welcome to the afterlife. Choose, choose one of these two paths. Heaven or Hell?"

"What? Shit? What the hell?"

"Heaven or Hell? You have 1 minute. If it is more than 1 minute, your soul must be forcibly removed."

"Obliterated?! Crazy... Do I really have to choose between these two paths? But how?"

"Do I need to choose Heaven? Isn’t it obvious? But why? Why do I feel reluctant?"

I realized, knew that my first life was full of bad luck.

It should, have been impossible for me to be on this path.

Maybe... Hell Road is the right path for me.

’If i think about it, what I did in my first life was nothing at all. I always scold my parents. The person who has raised me since childhood. So...’

Indeed, what I chose was Hell.

I know, know that I don’t deserve to go to Heaven.

"Very good... The contract has been established. You must walk a path full of thorns. No matter what happens, you must walk a path full of death. Because, from the start, you were the ’Anomaly’."

...

*Dripping-*

Finally, I couldn’t help but wake up from my fainted.

When I woke up, I saw that the sky above me had become very bright.

"What a strange dream... But where am I? Aren’t I still in the basement?" I asked, unable to stop myself from looking around where I was.

Without realizing it, I heard a woman’s voice right behind me.

"You are...Eris?"

"Are you awake? Thankfully, we were on time to send you back. Otherwise, I don’t know what I would have done."

Without further ado, I decided to lift my body back up.

Besides, I didn’t expect that this woman would voluntarily give her thighs right around my head.

"No. I mean, Ms. Eris, were you the one who saved me?"

"No… But she was the one who saved you."

"She?"

"Hello, my name is Alicia. I’m a magic student from class A. Nice to meet you."

’She became this beautiful? It’s true, Ash’s main heroine is no joke.’ I thought, I couldn’t help but praise the beauty of this woman.

I have to admit, Alicia’s transformation is the most absurd.

Among all the women in the academy, Alicia, she was the most beautiful.

With that alone, it was enough for any man to be unable to help but praise the beauty of this woman.

But luckily, my reaction didn’t last long.

I just nodded, as if I understood what she was saying.

"Well... I thank you for saving me. You too, Ms. Eris."
