Uggh…

_Tzzt… So, uh… it seems, to be that, apparently, you have…_

Too much regeneration to the point that it becomes a bad thing. Look, it wasn't my fault.

–... No way it is our fault, okay?

_Both of you are failures… *sigh*... No, thankfully, supposedly, you don't have that problem. Your problem, however, is the fact, that your body, apparently, is too weak._

… ? Hmm? I'm fairly average as a knight though?

_… fool, calling yourself average, when you only did it for… 7+ years… huh… how are you still stuck on that rank? Shouldn't you be, supposedly, at least, be a Middle rank Knight at this point?

It's called restraining. I don't really want to advance, granted it would increase my concentration, but I'm already fine as is…

I quickly opened the window and simply climb to the roof.

"So basically, I don't want to rank up, considering the risk of that."

–Yep, make sense.

_Well… your, basically body, is basically moving too fast, that your natural regeneration, which is already boosted, by at least a lot, is still weaker to properly get rid of the dark energy, in your body, without hurting yourself.

Fair point. But I don't want to, there's just… Nggn… my head…

_See? You either have to increase, your concentration by an amount to make sure that, it will quicken, due to the fact that more concentration, just equals faster convertion rates, or deal with the fact, that unfortunately, that your body is having too much, too much of an energy called darkness energy, without even having, supposedly, enough light to support you…_

Ah, so that's why I'm getting mind pain… Nggn… I used Obliteius too much, but that's fine, I guess…

"Oatheus."

I summoned Oatheus… and entered the place of unconsciousness, or tried…

"... Hey, light me…"

I said, but before I could continue, I immediately felt something is already right…

"... Hmm? I already helped. But next time, call me Selutaxa, kay?" (Se-lu-ta-xa, is how you pronounce it. It's Atleus, but with added "xa" and also rearranged letters. Guess which game did the Author referenced?)

"... Selu, got it."

I immediately left the place and felt fine…

_Oh?... Somehow I felt like light energy, quite possibly, entered your body to get rid of all the Dark energy. But do note that too much, even just, either, will destroy, your body and your mind, so please, don't use both of them, unless you can balance it._

So I can't use Oatheus and Obliteius… not that big of a deal considering that I don't use them that often…

–For now… it's already night so-

Train, got it.

–[Not at all. But sure, try as you might.]

{Hmm… my body is stiff, so training for an hour should help…}

Some time later…

"*Sigh*... Done."

I sighed a little as I quickly cooled my body off by using Emelas. Hmm… cold, but not too cold like Cold light. Emelas is basically my all elemental sword, meaning it's quite balanced, especially if you compare it to a specialized sword like Cold light and the others… though it only has 4 elements, or four attributes, Fire, wind, ice, thunder…

–What's there to worry about? There's only 6 element that I know anyway…

There's 8… Fire, Ice, water, wind, thunder, earth, Light, Dark. Water is ignored as I can't actually control it well, due to it being dependent on quantity, not on purity… maybe it can be good at utility but… I don't think it can be as you can basically just make ice from the start, and it be useful for combat and utility. Earth is something I don't use due to the fact that Fire magic is much more convenient, and doesn't need to waste as much mana to keep alive… and no attribute magic isn't an attribute, nor an element, it is just pure magic.

–Ah… water and earth… they're pretty useless. Especially for magic, water can be used for water, and that's it… in combat, those two magics are only used by lunatics, or specialist mages, which are usually weird anyway…

{Reid is technically a no attribute mage isn't he? Considering that he only knows teleportation, and to a great extent… to a stupid extent in which he can "change" where he will teleport, "in a quick time" while already teleporting to a "specific spot". There's a reason why teleporting isn't used normally as a way to get close, as there's a space fluctuation you can feel that will notify someone where you are, but Reid can deal with that problem simply by moving to a different location, changing the felt space fluctuation at a different place in which teleportation is already done… space fluctuation actually appears when teleportation occurs, so it can be felt, but that doesn't explain how he somehow is cheating it.}

Clearing the thoughts I knew the answers in my mind, I quickly dropped down from this big building, and quickly asked Lea to teleport me to whichever place that I need to go to, to help her do some tasks.

_Oh? How perceptive, you could, probably help me in some, quite, big problems then._

*Fwoosh*

I looked around the area I was teleported from… hmm… ah, got it.

I summoned Angel and threw him into a wall behind me.

*Crack!!*

The wall crumbled into pieces and shown a path that I wouldn't know, when there is some space fluctuation happening behind the wall.

{Space fluctuations are commonly known as space area abnormalities, but in honesty, they're a bit more of an abnormality when it reaches a certain stage, in example, when someone is teleporting, as long as you can feel it slightly, you would be able to tell that a certain place would have a "warp", a place in which let's someone enter a place currently known as the "teleport space", t space for short. And teleportation doesn't do something with time or travelling in extreme speeds, it's entering a space called "t space", and going back to the world to a different location than where you really are. It's magic, it's one of the most commonly used magic in the world, although it isn't easy to learn, and is actually not really good to use unless you can do it chantless, in which technically, you can do it with the downtime of only 0.1 seconds or less…}

–[It's been three seconds, they should be done thinking, by now.]... Anyway, since training is done, you should go to sleep… we found the item after all.

_… well I guess, supposedly, that was kinda expected… I'm just gonna collect it myself…_

*Fwoosh*

I got teleported back to the roof.

Ah, sure… I… need some… rest?

{Do I need to?}

{… Nah, I'm not gonna sleep today, probably.}

*Ting*

I entered the place of consciousness and entered my room.

"... I'm lonely…"

I said, without holding back myself from feeling sadness… Why is it that I feel this feeling of lost?... I don't want this feeling… the dread of losing something is already big, but acting like I'm fine even though I'm obviously not?... It's just absurd…

I sat on my black throne, summoning a table and a teacup with tea in it…

{It's just…}

I quickly drank the tea… hot, doesn't matter… I just… I need a quick way to make me forget this feeling of regret…

*Sigh*...

"... Something… Nggn is happening…"

I'm feeling mind pain inside my head in which immediately cause me to leave this place, as I'm worried that something is happening to myself…

"..."

I felt someone touching my gloves, trying to remove them, so I immediately teleported away…

–... That person? I don't know who it is, but…

Let me guess, was it somehow insane?

–No, just weird.

Oh, great.

I looked at who did that and seen to be surprised that they're wearing a mask and clothes that are quite hard to see due to being in the dark… and I can't tell their gender due to the fact that they're flat.

–Concerning, I know. [Flat equals Justice.]

… Heh, I don't think so. I like beautiful faces more than their body shapes.

–... Make sense.

"Hey… why are you just ignoring me, Fire mage specialist, Leus?"

I heard an unknown, but pretty familiar female voice… huh, I shouldn't ignore her?

–hmm… I don't think that you should ignore her, though I doubt she could be useful as a companion…

_Tzzt. Lea here, I made 3 more rooms, so it's fine if you want to have more teammates. Food is made by mana of course, so they taste like water, but I don't think everyone cares about taste anyway._

{Disconnect the call will you? Also you're back to talking normally.}

*Tzzt, Tzzt*

The call got disconnected… Ah, sorry.

–Hmm… so I guess we can make her one.

… I rather have Reid, at least I know that he's great.

–Fair.

"... Will you stop ignoring me!!"

I heard a high pitched scream as well as hearing Magic spells known as "Icycules", a tier 5 ice magic spell, was targeting me, in which I immediately avoided by jumping to get over it before making a Firagaball to get rid of it, making me lose 9% concentration on the process. (Icy-cules is how it is pronounced. Icy-cules not Icy-cu-les, Icy-cules.)

–*Sigh*... Icycules are 3 meters big Icicles that homes in, and are annoying to deal with. And the floor is still cold, you probably could slide around…

I can, yes. These shoes are quite slidy, so while it won't be perfect, it will actually help me slide in this cold roof… wait… now that I think about it… since the roof is kinda on a bit of an uphill…

I started to slide downwards due to the floor temporarily being covered in ice. I mitigated that problem by stabbing the normal sword I have to the roof.

"... Oh, ah, sorry. There's a rumor in the academy in which there's always a person on the roof of 'Campus' at night to midnight, so ah I…"

"So you decided to see if it's true or not? Well, now what do I do nya? It seems that someone found me training on the roof nya…"

I deliberately said nya, due to the fact that technically, it's to add that I'm acting.

"Ah… I didn't think you would be so cute saying nya…"

Wait… how is she seeing me?... Cat ears?... Ah, so she's also a cat beastman… now I can conclude that… she's the other twin isn't it?

–... Ping pong! You got it, now can we-

Can you be silent for at least 10 seconds? If I ignore her, I would get hit by another Icycules.

–[Got it.]

"... Hehehehe… now…"

*Flicker lights!*

No… you didn't…

"Your shocked expression… hehehe, that's right, I recorded our entire conversation. What will everyone think of you if they seen you say nya cutely huh?"

There's a sphere behind her, it's called "Recorder", and it records things, some of them even had the capabilities to actually take a frame and record it for an unknown time… it even has the enchantment "Always daylight vision"... Which makes it look like no matter the time you're recording things, it will look like it's the start of the day.

–[A floating sphere camera that can take photos. That's it, that's just it.]

The ice on the floor melted, and I burned off the cold water by covering the ground with fire, 

causing some white smoke to came out, but otherwise, it's fine.

"... Now what you're gonna-"

"Meooow!!"

I did a natural cat pose and said that in the most cat-like way I could and she paused what she was saying… she looked at me with a shocked expression, or I think she did as she shooked a little, before putting her hand over the mask, as if she is trying to hide her face, even though it already is hidden by the mask.

*Flickering lights!!*

A lot of flashing light coming from the recorder behind her is happening as she immediately hugged me… I did it?

–Yay… let's just say it's cause of cat obsession, I guess.

Guess so. Cat beastmans are quite rare, let's see… 0.01 of beastsman's are it? There are only at least 100000 recorded ones, so I don't have good memory about it. And even then, most of them are just like normal people, so if they act like a cat it says that "it will captivate people that are into cats into you, regardless of gender"... Weird people, right?

–... It's technically your fault that you enticed a girl who loves cats, by doing a scammy move.

Eh, shut up. I'm… also embarrassed by doing that, I'm just hiding my embarrassment, you know?

–... [Make sense.]
