From my childhood, I was living a mixed life. Was I blessed or was I cursed? I had a contrary view over my life. But I was never alone despite everyone around me abandoning me. Another voice was echoing through me, telling me to not be afraid. At one point, I almost succumbed into a life under the shadow, but someone eventually pulled me out of it and placed me under the spotlight. I thought I was freed forever, but the Echo told me that I was wrong. And it was all proven true on the day I discovered the true face of my beloved, who cheated on me without any shame. That day, I felt my world breaking apart. We were always together, I thought we would be together forever. Like some sort of beautiful fantasy. Silly, yet warm. Somewhere I could escape to. A home. It wasn't too much. But somehow, it all started that day. Or did it start before it? I don't remember. My memories are failing me. He told me I shouldn't stay. He told me I'll only get hurt no matter how I try to please him. He did not lie… Then, why did it hurt so much? Maybe because I truly loved him, seeing him with another had me broken to pieces. It wasn't fun, but… It wasn't the worst. That day, I finally decided. ‘Leave.’ It was as if a trigger had been pulled, and my life moved again in a hectic direction. I've met people I thought I won't be meeting again, and was stranded between so many fights of interests. I could only fight for myself there. This time, not only the Echo was with me. Another person was there, supporting me unconditionally. Giving me the confidence to move. Still, I will forever wonder… What choice is the right one? I guess I'll never know until I reach my destination.
Alastor did not see anyone that could be considered remarkable with a quick scan. Their power level collectively could only be summed by 3 Magic Circles.
Even with a damaged foundation, the previous Alastor was able to extract up to 4 Magic Circles power. Which made Alastor realize something about this Academy again.
Although it was not glaringly stated in the documents, it was not hidden. The classes were divided based on power level, and since Alastor hid his power, alongside Evan, they were stuck in lower classes.
"Evan, how weak are these people?"
Evan laughed helplessly, feeling that Alastor was coming back to his old persona. He did not hate that, the brilliant white hall matched his atmosphere now.
Hiding behind a mask of weakness did not suit Alastor.
Evan always felt that his friend was destined for something greater than what he was doing. And Evan knew that he would be supported magnificently by Alastor then.
