Unlasting World

Oh yeah… I'm definitely getting a scythe later.

Its range is massive, and it slices things very easily. It's definitely what I would choose if I am fighting an army or a large object. It's also the best tool for killing monsters, but maybe not for a spar.

After the commentator talks a bit as a farewell until tomorrow, the event ends there and we all go back to our dorms. The class E students went to the infirmary to greet Maneil and Jericho. 

The two are now in a better condition, and are regaining energy.

Jericho looks fine and will still be able to battle at the finals on Monday next week. But as for today, she is a trainwreck.

Maneil wasn't any better. She lost a lot more energy in that battle compared to Jericho and is pretty tired herself.

Everyone then left the infirmary after talking for a while, leaving me, Manda, and Jericho in her room. Maneil returned to her room in the infirmary to rest some more.

"So? How did the battle go for you?"

Jericho asked me when Maneil left, and I quickly told her about what happened.

"I see. The second place in class A is a full on offensive magician. Fire and lightning, that's difficult to fight."

"Indeed. My defenses are all broken down by him. But thanks to him, I learned a bit more about my offenses."

She frowned at my answer.

"Really? I thought your shadow magic would be invincible against him."

"Hey, I'm not that godlike."

""Yes you are.""

Manda and Jericho suddenly said together, and I couldn't say anything as a counter argument, so I laughed.

"Well then, get some rest. If you can, tomorrow we can visit the training grounds. Or, we can have a day off."

"No, I wanted to train tomorrow. Against you, there are a lot of things I need to prepare for."

She formed a grin as she said that, which makes me quite worried.

"... You better not do something weird..."

"No way! What can I possibly do?"

She said jokingly, and I ended up making a funny annoyed expression.

The sudden change in her tone made me even more sure that she is planning something weird. But I simply let out a sigh, and I waved my hands to them as I left.

I went back to my dorm and crashed on my bed. I opened my eyes and glared at the ceiling as my mind tried to think.

What is it that I am forgetting... Why am I feeling uneasy…?

Without realizing, I fell asleep due to the tiredness.

.

During the weekends, we spent most of our time at the training grounds. Well, at least for Jericho and the others. 

The whole class decided to help Jericho with her training. Even Maneil went ahead and supported Jericho. They are doing their best to prepare for her fight against me, and it's quite cute to think about.

Meanwhile, I went to the tree stumps, still waiting for that old fart who called himself the god of creation. And yet, he didn't show up. 

He never did.

I have waited here at least every weekend on Saturday and Sunday, waiting for him to answer my questions. But somehow, it does feel like I'm getting ghosted.

He asked for my help and then left without returning me any favour. What a god, huh?

The next time I see him, I'll activate my devil form and beat up his ass until he answers all my questions. But something tells me by the time I will meet him later, I will already know all the answers to my questions.

This is all so biblical…

My devil form is similar to his god form, or so he says. Which means whatever I am here is most likely the same as him. In other words, a god.

So… am I a god? Is that what's going on with me? My abnormal magic growth, my devil form, and my ability to use magic so proficiently?

That doesn't sound very godlike. If anything, that's just my talent, which has nothing to do with immortality or some sort of godlike things.

But, that is the only answer I have right now, so I will just have to go with that. Somehow this body has the abilities of a god, and that I am the saviour of this world, according to the old fart.

The more I think about it, the more it becomes more and more painful to think about, so I stopped thinking about it immediately.

I opened my eyes and looked at the pocket clock I got from the academy. Thirty minutes have passed since I first meditated here, and the old fart still doesn't show up.

I stood back up and opened my shadow wings, then I flew back to the academy to grab some food.

As I pass the training grounds, I can sense quite a lot of energy havoc coming from that direction. I'm quite far away from it, but I can detect the messiness coming from it. 

Jericho is definitely doing something weird, and the others are 100% helping her. I don't want to check it out because it would look like I am cheating, but I'm definitely curious.

As I flew back to the academy, an idea came across my mind.

Now that I am free, I can do anything. I can fly now, right? How far can I fly and how long can I withstand it?

Right there and then, I set up a plan out of curiosity. 

I will fly back to Mazino with flight.

KRUUKK!!!

But… I will have to eat first.

So I quickly landed on the class building, freaked out some students who were leaving the lobby, then headed to the canteen and grabbed some food to eat. I ate it on top of the class building's roof, and after eating, I stood up and stretched my body a little.

This is going to be a long flight…

I conjured the wings and started flying.
