Chapter 178 - Misunderstanding - Explanation on Sai - Mystical Academy

"Why didn't you tell us?! He could've died when he's in your world!"

Justine cried out

"You think he would die?"

Sai rebutted

"That's not the point! Why did you also lie to us and didn't say anything that you and Philip went to your world?!"

"It's the same as your reason. There was a reason why he agreed to save my world while you all were sleeping. Maybe he doesn't want all of you to worry? I don't know... But I believe Philip had plans laid out in his mind, isn't that right, Philip?"

Sai adressed towards Philip

"..."

Philip was silent for a second

"I did... Also, as per your question, Braudain..."

"How'd you know my name? I believe I never told you before?"

"Ah!"

Philip made a blunder once more, unaccustomed to the Omega System that revealed their identities. He looked towards Clara to his left

"Clara mentioned it to me"

Clara only looked at Philip eyes with no expressions, but her eyes were confused as to why he would lie

"..."

Braudain was silent, he read Clara's eyes. He had several years of battle experience and his eyes can deduce a person's personality and read their toughts through their eyes. He knew that Philip was hiding something

"The answer to your question... Yes, I also sacrificed something. That something is supposed to be my left hearing and my sense of smell"

"What?!"

Justine exclaimed once again. Sai curled her eyebrows. She was extremely confused and she began to judge him

"Supposed to? What does that mean?"

Braudain caught on to his words

"Well, because Polem destroyed the world and made a sacrifice herself and a third party intervention came, my control towards the fate of the world of Saykrandae was severed and my sacrifices were returned to me... I believe that's the case because I can hear to my left and smell clearly"

"..."

Braudain only looked straight at Philip's eyes and then he closed it. He seemed to have deemed that Philip was telling the truth. He continued to lean against the wall with his arm crossed and his polearm resting on his chest and wraped by his arms

"Regarding Sai... Yes, I had plans. There's a reason why I agreed to save her world and why I left without telling anybody"

Everyone listened closely

"After the sleepover happened and everyone went to sleep, Sai and I were still awake because we decided to talk about the Mathilda's Mobiüs Strip and Mei'er's Crystal Flower on the roof. I then decided to change Sai's fate and go ahead and save her world"

"So, you were saving our world not because you wanted to or to save all its people, but because you want to change Goddess Sai's fate?!"

Corleona spoke. Philip turned his eyes towards her

"Well, yes... But no"

Natsume, Tenshi, and Sheena, the cultured people, looked at Philip with empty eyes after he said the line

"What do you mean?"

Corleona asked

"It's simple... Sai is a very important asset to me, after our battle way back when. She fell in love with Alucard because of the effect of his vampire abilities and the Pureblood to divine beings. Since I liberated Alucard from his fate, I wanted him to be happy, and when I see him and Sai together, they were happy"

Alucard smiled from Philip's words

"Wait... You're saying that you will take Goddess Sai away from our world and leave us alone?! That's pretty selfish of you!"

"No..."

"!..."

Philip said with power in his voice. Corleona calmed down and listened to what Philip has to say

"Sai's divine power comes from Saykrandae. The longer she stayed away from your world, the weaker she becomes, especially that your world is being taken over by a Demon Lord. I had to fix that and I planned to take over Sai's management on her world and directly transfer the people's faith across the cosmos and into Sai, here on Earth. I also planned to put my protection on Saykrandae and save everyone. But, spoiler alert, it didn't happen"

"Wait..."

Sai spoke. Justine was surprised because she beat her to it

"Transfering faith across cosmos, thousands of light years away, and directly on me... Is that possible?!"

"Yes"

At this point, Justine teared up

"It's possible if you sacrificed something, right?"

"You got it"

Sai's mouth quivered and a few people were touched by Philip's consideration on Sai

"If that were to happen... What would you have sacrificed? It should be lot, shouldn't it?!"

Sai asked in genuine curiosity

"My left arm and my identity"

Everyone was hurt by the sacrifice that Philip would have made if his plan were to come into fruition. No one was able to become angry, not even the Old Man, nor Sai, nor Justine, nor Natsume, nor Tenshi. At best, they are just a minor part of Philip's life for now. The three are also not Philip's wives or anything while Justine doesn't know the status of their relationship, even though they have shared some intimate moments

Philip noticed that everyone was down, but he didn't care and continued speaking

"You guys also may be wondering why Sai still has her divine power and authority when her own world, a World Goddess's planet, got destroyed"

"Why is that?"

Braudain was intrigued

"It's because you, Corleona, and Clara are here and your faith for Sai is enough for her to maintain her divine power"

"!!!"

The residents of Saykrandae were surprised and Sai widened her eyes

"I saved the three of you because you're the last humans left on Saykrandae. I saw your fates but and I saved all of you from them. All of your fates was death. I also took the three of you for this same reason of providing Sai the necessary faith energy for her to act her status as a goddess. This also means that if the three of you died, Sai will become a goddess no more. This means that the three of you will be under my protection and as long as you're under me... Nothing bad will happen to the three of you. All for Sai's divine power and Alucard's happiness. Think of it as coexistence and all parties will benefit from each other"

"..."

"..."

"..."

Everyone was silent as they are trying to wrap their heads around Philip's words, especially Sai because she's witnessed Philip's every action

「 Corleona Cladis affinity increased by 5 」

「 Clara Cladis affinity increased by 15 」

「 Braudain Pringka affinity increased by 8 」

Philip widened his eyes by the display that was shown

'So, this is the Affinity System...'

Philip witnessed the Affinity System of the Omega System in action

'Seems like Corleona still has some matters and internal feelings that needs to be sorted out'

Philip thought to himself as he remembered that the Omega System gave him quests

「 Talk to Corleona Cladis: Incomplete 」

There is also a quest that caught his attention

「 Learn about the changes of Earth: 37.5% 」

'Ah... There's still a lot'

Philip was thinking to himself until Justine spoke

"I'm glad that the misunderstanding has been sorted out... But, how could you remember your happy memories? Did they come back?! But you sacrificed them, didn't you??"

Justine asked in extreme confusion and Philip looked at her in the eyes. He's debating whether to tell the truth

"To be honest... I don't know. I did sacrifice my happy memories, but I don't feel anything different... I think?"

"Shouldn't sacrifices be gone?! They won't come back anymore?!"

Justine's eyes started to swirl. The others started to be suspicious of Justine because they don't understand her intentions as of this moment. Philip also became suspicious

"Justine..."

Justine suddenly paused and widened her eyes. Her eyes were not swirling anymore and she seemed to not know what was happening

Philip frowned and immediately use one of his abilities

'Scan!'

「 Justine Miller 」

[Affinity: 3.1415926535 - ???]

[Status: Critical - Unstable]

'Huh???'

From what Philip can remember, initially, Justine's affinity towards him was at a thousand, now it's in a value of pi. Not to mention, her status of being in a critical and unstable state

'What's happening here?'

"Philip?"

Justine asked in a cute and confused manner

"Ah..."

Philip snapped out in his zone, only for the broadcast to resume. Everyone turned their heads towards the screen and set aside what's happening at this moment for later

~~~

The broadcast opened into a modern looking room with a middle aged man sitting behind a large office desk. The camera emphasized on the name plate sitting on the table

[Headmaster]

The camera then panned around the room and showed Yozu's office, the place where Philip first entered when he came to the Core Academy

The camera then aimed at the good looking man on the chair. His eyes began to glow yellow and he showed to the world that magic exists

"Hello everyone! No... This is not special effects but magic! It's the product of my ability! Also, I can do this!"

Yozu waved his hand around and all the pens, papers, and everything else started to float around him

"What I'm doing right now is basic telekinesis. Since magic and mana now exists on Earth, you, yourself, can possibly do this and use telekinesis!"

Everyone in the world was genuinely impressed and excited when Yozu demonstrated magic live on screen, unlike the other pillar leaders. Well, Kamijou showed a glimpse of it

"Right... Everyone, I am the leader of the Fourth Pillar of the world! The Mystical Academy and I am the Headmaster!"

Yozu then flicked the camera upwards and the view zoomed out and showed the Core Academy then the entire Mystical Academy as fireworks started to shoot out from the sky

Everyone in the world had stars in their eyes. They were also genuinely smiling as they were very excited to do magic. Some already wanted to leave and go to this academy and learn everything. Thinking about using magic already makes then feel cool
