Chapter 16 - Looking for answers

I laid down and thought about what I've been doing.

Searching

Fighting

Living

Why?

I want to go home but "Sheen" already supposedly died. Only I know I'm still alive...

No, that's wrong. That truck had a weird feeling to it. So did that dream.

A kid normally can't fight an adult, much less a gang. Who was the girl and the man?

The person I saved was too calm. You normally don't expect to get in a accident. Plus, nobody screamed for me.

Two separate scenarios but somehow they feel like they click together. Why?

What happened with the truck? It crushed me but I felt it on the bumper. It felt like it pulled me to it and drained me without even touching me.

I woke up and found myself in a cave with a sage. At first I thought that I reincarnated into a new hero but when I think about my past... who am I?

Why can I kill and not feel a thing? Because I already did it before.

Why was I thrown off a cliff to start my "training"? They knew I'd live through it.

Why was I chosen by some Rudi-something? Because I could fight.

I feel like it was all planned... it was? This is the forest of memories where pasts come to haunt you. But that's only if you fight.

They say that killing a beast from the forest would cause it to glow and give strength to the hunter.

They also say that it could unlock talents and hidden potential... even if it was forgotten.

But wouldn't I've died if I did anything wrong? No, wait, the Giganties could have stomped at me or tried to grab me but it was stupid. The wolves could have been faster but they lost their leader and were obvious. The very first rabbit released a vibe that caused me to turn around.

Eh?

Have I... been using instincts this entire time? Have I been lucky or have I actually been fighting like a genius?

Ah... I'm getting a headache... and my stomache isn't feeling too good either.

I push open the boulder door and head to a nearby tree with my shovel. When you gotta go, you gotta go.

.....

In a holy space, much like an office...

"...This can't be good." (Rudiciel)

"Hmm? What's wrong ma'am?" (Assistant)

"He might stop thinking altogether." (Rudiciel)

"Eh? Didn't he have his thoughts restricted? No, before that, what if he dies?" (Assistant)

Rudiciel looked at her winged assistant as if he was a fool. She then face-palmed herself when she realized her mistake.

"Right, you're new so you don't know. Do you remember law no.31 of the Angels Guide of Service?"(Rudiciel)

"Oh, yes..."(Assistant)

The assistant to out a thick book from thin air and flipped through it.

--------------

[Law no. 31]

[Both holy and unholy forces may not negatively interact with the (Forbidden One) even in the event of a (Holy war)]

---------------

"But what does that have to do with this?"(Assistant)

It never occurred to the poor assistant that Sheen could have been related to the (Forbidden One) in anyway.

Click

"Hey, Rudi. How's the the young master doing?"(???)

A youth entered the holy office through the front door and interrupted their talk.

"Not good Racon, he might go berserk soon."(Rudiciel)

"Ah?"(Racon)

The green haired boy with pointy ears froze and began to sweat rivers. This was the boy who was with the goddess when Sheen tested appraisal. Racon the Recon.

"Uh oh, uh oh, uh oh! Doesn't that mean we're is done for!? Why didn't you tell is sooner!?"(Racon)

"Calm down Racon! There's still a chance that he could recover before that."(Rudiciel)

The reason that they had taken Sheen to the forest of memories was to avoid the scenario where he loses all sense of self and falls into a state of utter destruction.

"Is he really that strong?"(Assistant)

"..."(Racon)

"...Racon, educate this brat would you?"(Rudiciel)

"Sigh... alright."(Racon)

...

(Pokemon battle song)

Racon uses Clap!

Clap!

"Alrighty then! Let's start the lecture! Hehehe, I've always wanted to say that."(Racon)

"..."(Assistant)

Assistant finds Racon cute!😄

Racon uses questioning!

"Ok, do you know law no.31 of the Angels Guide of Service?"(Racon)

"Yes, why?"(Assistant)

Assistant is confused🤔

"Then you understand what kind of existence the forbidden one is?"(Racon)

"Yes... why"(Assistant)

Assistant has a bad premonition😥

Racon uses spoiler

"Sheen is the kind if of person who can-"

(Bleep)

"We interrupt this program to avoid spoilers! Now back to the show."

(Bleep)

Assistant is stupidfied😲

Assistant is processing😲

Assistant fainted😵

Racon gains 0 exp

...

Back in the forest of memories

"Achoo! (sniff) I think someone's talking about me."(Sheen on the toilet)
