He looks [2]

The next few days at the Academy were strangely peaceful. 

A little too peaceful.

To the point where it just started to feel like something was wrong. 

'This sense of peace… I feel like it's been a while.' 

Well, the feeling was short-lived. 

Today was the day I'd have to go out of the Academy once more.

….It was time for me to receive my award.

The acting one. 

It was supposed to be a rather large event that only lasted a day. I secretly hoped that nothing would go wrong, but knowing how my life was, I knew something was bound to happen. 

I just hoped it was something reasonable. 

I... didn't want to fall into another illusion again. Nor did I want to face monsters that could track me through sound and were creepy to look at. 

There was another thing. 

'Hopefully, I win something.'

I really needed the money.
