Day 1 to 2: Illness

Alone in a dark room I gulped an entire bottle of alcohol like my life was depended on it

"burp"

My vision was becoming blurry and the eyelid of mine is begging to be close

I open another bottle and chug it down without resting

How many bottles did I drank?, I looked at my side where multiple bottles laid

I put the empty bottle near its friends, and begin to open another one

I never bother counting how many I drank,

it's bad for me to drink so much? so what. I'm gonna leave this world early anyway, is my excuse to chug another bottle of the dreamy drink

"You have a mana deficiency" the doctor told me his eyes couldn't look straight to me

Having a mana deficiency isn't suppose to be a bad thing that could lead to people dying or even injuring someone but I'm a mage someone who need mana to live

Mage could absorb the mana in their surrounding but just a month ago i catch a disease making me incapable to do such thing,

What a series of bad luck I just encountered, a series of events telling me to die

I forced a smile, "How many time do I have?"

The doctor clasp his hand and with a quik pause he said

"A year at most"

"...I see, thank you"

I left without waiting for the doctors reply, like he could reply seeing me smiling with my lips drenched with blood

"burp"

I let go of the empty bottle and looked at my side, there's no longer anything to drink, it's just empty bottles supporting each other to not fall and break on the floor

I grabbed a bottle and tried to squeeze a single drop of booze that it contains but sadly it's empty all the way to the bottom

I moved to the corner of the room where a single candle was lit

It takes a lot of time for me to successfully sat down at the chair

My eyes was a little blurry so its hard to grasp the chairs arm

I flip the empty book and maybe it's because of the alcohol, but I grabbed a pen

"Day one" I murmured before writing it on the first page

I began writing all the things I experience today all the way at this time where I drank a box of alcohol

And was writing at the book that belongs to one of my students, why I wrote on it maybe cause o of the booze

I felt sad and happy while writing in that one page, I finished writing when the page was filled of letters that no space could be seen

The main reason for me stopping was cause of the candle reaching the end of its life...but I decided to blame the page not having enough space

With that I used the moonlight as a source of light to lay on the small bed of the one man room

When I woke up I could feel unbearable pain on my head,

I was unable to stand up for a couple of hours, as the sunlight ray down on me did I felt annoyed and stood up

It's already noon, I stretch my arm before wearing something appropriate,

I throwed the white underwear and my shirt that was drowned with saliva, I take a quick shower before wearing what I thought would be appropriate when going outside

I grabbed the notebooks on my table and began to exit the room

"Your late" Ahead of me is a man wearing the identical attire to mine

"Like you" I responded, "like me" he said with a smile before turning his back on me

I was a teacher, teaching students simple spells and the things to understand to survive in this cruel world

I was a teacher , "I quit" I said to professor

"Why?" He asked, shock was visible on his wrinkly face, hiding behind his long white beard must be a open mouth waiting for my response

"I have a disease making it hard to teach" I said reminiscing the words of the doctor, before handing a paper as an alibi

not that professor need one, I just want him to think that I quit cause of an illness not because I was tired of working at his school

"You could still teach" The professor said after reading the doctor's report

"I quit" was my quick responce, making professor speechless

"..."

"...."

The silence was so loud , it feels like I did something wrong, but I didn't falter

Professor sighed and grabbed a small pouch under his desk breaking the long pause in our conversation

"This is for your retirement" the professor said with a warm smile

"Thank you" I answered without a change in my expression,

"No need to hold it in" he said like he knows what's on my mind

"...."

I bow my head before leaving the room

Full of cheeky little brats which transforms into adorable children's when it comes to playtime, full of those kids is the next place I visited

When I opened the door a number of children came rushing to me

Some tug on my knee while some hopping while chanting my...name?

"teach!"

"Teach!"

"teach!"

The kids voice blended with each other making a harmonious noice that filled the entire classroom

"Slow down" is the words I said making all the children's stop

"Teach are you going to leave?" one of them asked

I opened my mouth but quickly closed it hesitating to tell my circumstances, they might cry making it hard to leave if I tell them

"N-no, who told you that?"

"Miss Anna" Half of them responded, while the other half had no idea of such news

"Teach your gonna leave!" One of the students shouted when she heard the news

I pat the child's braided brown hair and responded " No, teach won't leave"

I'm lying for a good reason

Im lying for a good reason

I'm lying for a good reason

I chanted it over and over again to not let my conscience get a hold of me

"Let's start with the Introduction kids" I said with a bright smile

This will be my last day on this school so let's end this how I always wanted
