Extra's Perfect Ending
Chapter 72: Possibility
For a while now, after the talk with that author, Reeva realizes something crucial. He could change the whole story right from the second day that he was here. He knew that Onia would love to meet her sister more than anything else.
And he has Theia by his side all this time. He could have sent her home to her sister and changed the entire storyline.
At first, it was fear of the future that held him back from sending Theia back, but now the story has changed drastically from the original and frankly, it doesn't matter what he does anymore. What's more important is happiness, and sending Theia home could make him happy.
The Main character squad was never meant to leave Lmemore for the first act of the novel but here they are, in Tumidus. Reeva doubted that it was purely to pursue him since he was but a nobody who had just been charged as a heretic.
Meanwhile, Theia is a sister of a female lead, their importance is not the same. This means Onia and her party are likely here for Theia. And it would be better if he gave Theia back to her sister.
That would make him happy, right? She would also be safer in the hands of her sister.
A better end for her fate.
"Think about it, why would she be here in Tumidus?"
"I..don't know it could be her academy.... special assignment."
She heard of it from her sister's letter. The mystic class has been branded as a special assignment.
"I think she wouldn't have left Lmemore if she didn't know you were in Tumidus, right?"
"....."
She couldn't refute that statement, Deep down she knew that Reeva had some good points. But she also has a question of her own.
"You didn't even meet my sister, how are you so sure?"
"I know many things, I'm a heretic remember?"
"Stop with your nonsense, you know you're not a heretic"
Theia knew that this wasn't the heretic that helped her form a star but she wasn't sure this was the original Reeva either. Her sister often complains about the guy for harassing her group. Reeva, Brent, and another one of the goons always finding trouble with Onia and Klad
"Someday, if you're still curious you could ask me. But not today." Theia again felt like this guy was a complete enigma. "Today is the day I ask you this, Do you want to go back? To your sister I mean"
Reeva asked with a smile.
"I don't know" Theia couldn't put it into words, she felt like it would be wrong for her to go back to her sister after all that happened.
"Take as much time as you like," Reeva said with a stale smile "But know this, if I were your sister, I would really like to see my sister right now."
Theia couldn't say a word, Reeva looked at her reaction and left her alone with her own thoughts.
Now it is time for him to get his stuff done. With the rest of his evening free, and the contract of his restaurant done he is ready to fix one of his fatal flaws if he wants to fight a mystic.
Fighting skill.
"Hilda, could you teach me fighting skills?"
"What do you want to learn master?"
"Just how to fight?"
"Then you need to learn basic fighting first." Hilda said "I will prepare a schedule for you. We will start tomorrow."
With that, his last crucial task was done. And he didn't have any plan for the day, Hilda went out of the room to prepare for his training and Theia just sat there thinking about her life choice. And he was left alone with an abundance of time.
He decided to use this opportunity to experiment with his own body. He already used the [Expiriment] app when he was escaping the church so he could only examine the circle inside his body.
After he turns into a demon and then turns back to human again, he obtains the yellow circle inside his body, that feels like another organ. It just pops inside when he turns back to human. He theorize that it has something to do with him generating happiness since he could do it pretty easily.
More than he thought it would be. In the church, his happiness appeared like water flooding out of a dam when he tried to conjure it. He hadn't done it before because of the consequences but he was sure that it wasn't that easy
"One could only generate their own mystic force by employing their emotion or belief, as much as you can. It often generates over time but in some rare cases, it could be a burst of it pouring out from one incident. Alternatively one could also receive mystic force from the people with the same belief. This is a more effective way of gathering mystic energy, however, finding such people is not easy.
That's when religion was formed, to unite the people and fight through the darkness, spreading the warmth of the sun god all over the land."
This was one of the lessons that they gave Klad in the divine twig. Of course, the guy already knows the principle but they need it explained to the reader somehow right?
His condition is not normal, so he concludes that there must be something with the circle that is in his body.
A coldness spread from his brain, down to his chest area, and envelope the whole circle. it was a weird experience since he could vaguely feel his normal organ but he could feel all of the Yellow circles vividly.
It is crude and bumpy like someone pouring cement over a bad-quality cast. He feels his way around the circle trying to glean something from it, however, the circle doesn't respond to his call at all. Something is missing from this.
He opened his eyes to see the room again, however this time he could see something different, the room was filled with faint mist, and he remembered seeing it seep out of Theia and Hilda.
Wasn't this supposed to disperse after leaving the human body?
