Chapter 6: How Does It Work?
Tomorrow after yesterday. I woke up in my bedroom after a day of Vlera's training in my dream, I was ready to start my day on a Saturday morning but then I thought of a trick to this continuous dreams.
"(What if... I sleep back?)"
I tried my best going back to sleep again and after 10 minutes, I got to hear my alarm once again. I hope I didn't happen to accidentally snooze it.
"Wake up."
Shit, there's no metal beam hitting me. I don't care, I'll open my eyes...
!!!
"EYYYY! I GOT TO COME BACK IN THIS WORLD!"
*CLANG!*
"IF YOU THINK THAT YOUR YESTERDAY'S SHOUT WAS FINE BECAUSE MY TEACHER WASN'T ACTUALLY SLEEPING, THEN NOW WAS DIFFERENT!"
"Sorry... I deeply sorry..."
At the end, I got hit by a metal beam.
—
*Tack!* *Tack!*
"Focus on the sword Marco, you won't kill even an animal with that grip. Give more force to it."
"Force huh, let me try this!"
*Swing*
"Very well. You made me widen my eyes, that's an improvement."
"Yes!"
"Up next, we will try to improve your defence and dodging skills, this way you can counter your enemy in case your offense got taken down."
With Vlera's help, I got to train myself to fight with a sword. Afternoon approached by, and Vlera called a break.
"According to your recent performance compared from yesterday, it had improved a lot, quite surprising if you'd ask me."
"Wow, to think that I could get a compliment from Vlera. Thank you."
As I drink my water, Kallen came by with a sleepy eyes.
"Good morning, kids."
"Good afternoon, Teacher."
Vlera stood up and bowed onto Kallen that made me copy her.
"Good afternoon, Kallen."
"How was Marco's training?"
"He improved a lot just by a day."
"Great, expected from you. But I never came here to talk about your improvements."
Even in that sleepy figure, Kallen still got her uneasy aura that made me go serious.
"Marco, have you even thought why did I take you as my student without your permission?"
"... No..."
"I originally intended to tell you this yesterday but I saw Vlee here enjoying now that she finally got her own student so I chose to pick this day instead. But in fact...
If not by your dumb desicion to just accept this training, I originally wanted to force you in this training because of your 'fishy' background."
"What...?"
...
After a moment of silence, Kallen broke it by explaining her words.
"Marco, I wish for your cooperation."
"Sure..."
"You've probably heard yourself being unable to lie in front of me right? The truth is that I casted a technique to you so that you can't lie infront of me. In that case, I'm very sorry."
"I understand, Kallen."
"I don't know which part did you understand, but the reason was... I'm conducting experiments in your body for the last month, well, not exactly experimenting but I was watching your every move. This past weeks, it was you and all, until one day, you seem different. You can't recognize a bit around you. I also don't know myself why, but it was you to explain it now."
"Teacher Kallen, yes, I noticed that I can't lie in front of you, but since I already said alot, I have nothing left to hide. I'm not from this world."
"How could you say you're not from this world? Did you know what world this is?"
"No, but I know I'm not on Earth, my home planet anymore."
"Earth... Isn't that the rocks and soil?"
"Yes, but from my world, that's the name of our Planet."
"I see, well, this Planet is called, Chime, so yes, you're in from another world. But one question, how did you got here?"
"By sleeping."
"How?"
"When I sleep, I got transferred between the two worlds, when I sleep here, I will get transferred to Earth, when I sleep there, I will got transferred here."
"I see. Another question, is there any bizarre events happened apart of being transferred world by world?"
"Yes, Vlera, you may seem like my senior right here, but to Earth, you were my classmate and childhood friend."
"Oh, now that took my interest, am I there as well?"
"Unfortunately, not."
"Now that took my interest no more. Anyways let's go onto the main topic, the topic, about your background..."
...
"Last month, i saw you, Marco, not by your current attitude, but by someone else's. You were just a mere traveler but if you take a good look about your doings... You were a traveling serial killer that just took down the neighboring City."
"Oh... That's surprising."
"Your other 'you' was strong enough that when I tried to confront him, I've got nothing to do but to get cornered away."
Man... I can't even stand her Aura, yet the other guy inside this body got to corner her? He must've so powerful.
"The reason why I deployed Vlera to invite you here is to try and benefit your abilities againts this incoming Pandraconium, if you didn't know that, it was a chaos-filled event that was covered in Dragons. With your power, we could defeat them in no time. But I'm wondering, why are you so weak now? Even a chicken could effortlessly escape from you."
"Hah... Well, originally, my life on Earth was so different than here on Chime so I couldn't really wield a sword."
"I see, but with that background of yours, do you think you could regain it as the 'new' Marco?"
"I think i can."
"And if I offer you my teaching-"
"Im willing."
"Then that was settled. You know my secret, I know your secret. Expect for your Transferring World To World ability's information to be locked inside me and Vlee's brain."
"Thanks, Teacher Kallen."
"Nope, only Kallen."
"Thanks, Kallen."
"There. Oh my, we didn't noticed the time."
"Oh, sorry Teacher."
"It's alright, Vlee, continue your training with him."
"Sure."
...
We trained until the sun sets. Kallen shouted from the window to invite us for dinner.
...
"Thank you for the dinner!"
...
I came back to my room and sleep. From there, I know I was about to start another day on Earth. But whatever happens, I will just spend my every day as two different Marco in two different Worlds.
—
10AM, in Planet Earth.
From what I remember, I slept back again to see if I could be Transferred by simply sleeping, well, I guess I just figured it out...
Though it may be problematic in case I accidentally fell asleep in class.
