After explaining her past, Lynae circled around the rooftop, looking at this academy from every direction.
The appearance of the students studying hard in the classrooms, the appearance of the students relaxing and resting after class, laughing heartily.
“From the very beginning I knew that the Fractsidus ‘Lynae’ was not simply a student.”
Lynae slightly raised her head, tightly gripping the tape in her hand as she looked at the protective measures outside the academy.
“But even so, I still came to Lahai-Roi, became the eyes planted here by Fractsidus, and at the same time became the student I wanted to become.”
At this moment Ryuji also understood why Lynae liked this academy so much.
Compared to her past life, the life here was like heaven.
“In this academy, I no longer need to wake up every day and look in the mirror to confirm who I am. In order to maintain this kind of academy life, and in order to eliminate the Fractsidus within the academy, I have now come to seek cooperation with you.”
After finishing, Lynae looked toward Rover, seemingly waiting for the other party to continue.
“Cooperation… these words of yours and the previous words do not sound like something a student would say.”
“…”
Seeing that Lynae did not reply, Rover continued:
“Even if this matter can finally come to a perfect conclusion, will you then be able to face the real you in the mirror?”
Just like Ryuji, Rover could also see that whether it was the Lynae previously in the academy or the mature Lynae in front of them,
Neither of them was the real Lynae.
Is the self in one’s own eyes the real self?
Is the self in others’ eyes the real self?
Perhaps only the self in the mirror and in the shadow is the real self.
“…”
Seeing Lynae close her eyes and furrow her brows, Rover continued:
“I spoke up for you in front of Warren, which means that I now believe you.”
Rover’s words could be considered as representing which side she stood on.
“Now, I must take responsibility for my own words.”
When Rover said these words, her tone was serious and her expression earnest, which made Lynae slightly stunned.
“With this tone of yours, you could already become a teacher in the academy.”
Listening to Rover speak, Lynae opened her eyes and supported her forehead as she spoke, only the tone carried a slight bit of joy.
Probably because Rover was still standing on her side and was willing to trust her.
“Then I formally invite you to investigate together with me what Fractsidus’s true purpose in Lahai-Roi is, Rover.”
“Let’s cooperate.”
Afterward, Rover and Lynae clasped hands.
Although on the surface their identities were students, they had now, for the sake of investigating Fractsidus’s purpose at this academy, already ceased to be simple students.
After that, they both looked toward Ryuji together.
Clearly, they were seeking Ryuji’s opinion.
“Sorry, I refuse.”
…
“Hah, class is finally over. Today’s lessons were really exhausting to listen to!”
“Yeah, it was all problems related to mathematics and runes. We’re not people of the Roya Tribe, how could we possibly understand…”
“Tch, forget those few credits! This course is canceled! Let’s go to the cafeteria to eat!”
Only after arriving outside the teaching building did Ryuji remember that nearly a day had passed since he came to this world, and he still had not eaten.
Probably because of the enhancement from Cursed Energy.
In short, he now felt he could be considered half a superhuman.
However, after listening to those students’ idle chat, Ryuji felt a bit hungry.
So he went to the cafeteria, preparing to casually grab some food.
But although it was called a cafeteria, the foods presented that Ryuji saw were only some canned goods and bagged foods.
But whether the taste was good or bad did not matter.
His attention at this moment was actually not on these things.
Just earlier, he had refused to join the alliance of Rover and Lynae against Fractsidus.
A newborn calf is not afraid of tigers.
Having just arrived in this world, Ryuji had not truly experienced the terror of Fractsidus, so he was not withdrawing out of fear.
Rather, during the conversation between Rover and Lynae, he felt he could not see through his two friends.
The black glove of the New Federation government, that Bloom Bearer of the Black Shores.
In short, none of them were simple.
“Truly mysterious.”
Recalling everything that had happened with Rover and Lynae, Ryuji muttered a sentence and tore open the bagged food in his hand.
“What the hell is this?!”
After taking only one bite, Ryuji furrowed his brows.
The gloom in his heart just now was also occupied by the strange texture and taste of this thing.
“How can eating this be the same as not eating at all, yet there is indeed a sense of fullness in the stomach, and the texture is so disgusting, like eating a lump of tasteless snot…”
After finishing his commentary, Ryuji looked around again.
Mm, the faces of the students in the cafeteria all revealed habitual expressions.
Could it be that the problem was with himself?
“Divine Dogs.”
Better let the dog try it.
“Woo…”
After the white Divine Dog ate that thing, it also wrinkled its face.
“Even the dog won’t eat it. The adaptability of the people in this academy is really strong…”
After muttering a sentence with furrowed brows, Ryuji wrinkled his brows and ate all the remaining food in his hand.
“Ugh! Am I actually going to have to rely on these things to last until graduation at this academy?!”
After barely swallowing, Ryuji complained.
Thump thump thump!
But just at this moment, he sensed a burst of rapid running sounds appearing behind him.
Was someone charging toward him?
So Ryuji turned around, and at the same time wanted to order the Divine Dog beside him to meet the enemy.
“I saw it! Your Resonance ability!”
But just after Ryuji turned around, he discovered that the newcomer had stopped at a safe distance and was staring fixedly at the Divine Dog beside him while gasping for breath.
“Ah?”
These words of the other party left Ryuji momentarily unable to make sense of them.
He had seen that some people in this academy still had Tacet Marks on their bodies.
Could it be that Resonators were actually scarce talents in this world?
However, he could determine that the fellow in front of him was not some dangerous person.
Aside from wearing one more white lab coat than others, this fellow’s attire looked completely like that of an ordinary Startorch Academy student.
“No no! What I mean is your Resonance ability—I really need it!”
Seemingly realizing that his words were a bit strange, this student hurriedly corrected himself.
Words with such a lack of boundaries…
Ryuji felt that the other party was the kind of social phobia type that he was not good at dealing with.
Right now a whole bunch of students in the cafeteria were already looking over here, which made him feel so awkward.
Forget it.
Later he would first ask what the other party wanted to do, then find an excuse to send this person away…
“May I ask what you need my ability for? And how should I address you?”
Seeing Ryuji ask this way, this student who felt there was hope immediately lit up, then adjusted his white lab coat and reported his full name.
“Ahem! My name is Lucian! I am the president of the Drama Club! And you, junior?”
