Chereads / Thus, My Otherworldy Adventure Begins / Chapter 9 - Confrontation

Chapter 9 - Confrontation

"You, how dare you? That would've killed him!"

Loreley had came out of her spear. Now she was menacingly pointing it towards Adiel's face. Enraged at what she had tried to do.

Everyone else didn't know what was going on, and they were questioning as to who this girl was.

"Who are you?"

"That is none of your business. What is, is why you just tried to kill Kouki. That is what I want to know."

They both were glaring at each other as if they were ready to give it their all in a fight to the death. Kouki had gone closer to Loreley and put a hand on her shoulder.

"Hey...Loreley just let it go. I'm fine, nothing happened to me."

"It's what could have happened master!"

She shot back at Kouki as he was trying to calm her down.

"Did you just say...Loreley? Why...what is she doing here and with someone like you!"

The only one that seemed to have reacted to Loreley's name was Adiel. Everyone else seemed to not know of her.

"Tsk. Kouki stand back!"

A surge of magic appeared to be coming from Adiel. Her main focus was to fight Loreley. Everyone else had to back away, including the professor because he knew it would be dangerous to be near Adiel's attacks.

"What are you doing here! I'll take you down myself."

"Adiel, you have to listen to me. What has been told down in history is not true. I am not the enemy!"

"Lies! I will not listen to an evil incarnate such as you!"

Adiel rised from the ground, defying gravity. Loreley spear in hand readied herself for the onslaught.

"There's no choice then."

The ground began to tremble as if there was an earthquake. Adiel had made hand gestures in a triangle, as soon as she did her right eye glowed as if there was a star right inside. Her robe and hair waved with the sharp wind.

"I will do all I can to take you down, even if I have to use this power!"

As Kouki saw Loreley he was remined of her stance from the Goblin cave. She raised her spear with both hands and the tip began lighting up. It burts into a blinding white light that reached to the skies above. The ground shook with massive amounts of force. Even the dirt and rocks nearby could be seen floating.

"Everyone take cover!" The professor and everyone else ran away from the scene while still taking the chance to look at what was going on. Both individuals casted their strongest magic.

"The light that pierces the sky."

"Nox."

Loreley swinged her spear forward and Adiel released her strongest magical attack. The ground split and shockwaves sprung about. It was if the world was going to end. With those two attacks combining the whole Academy shacked to its roots. It was sure to bring about the commotion of everyone in it. As the smoke slightly cleared Loreley could be seen jumping towards Adiel as she used her Index finger to touch her forehead. Adiel seemed to struggle but then went still. It's as if she was doing something to her mind.

Loreley backed away and Adiel could be seen slowly descending. She kept her head down and then looked up.

"No...that can't be. These memories of yours, they can't be true!"

She looked like she was in disbelief, Loreley then slowly nodded with a sad look on her face. A few tears could be seen coming from Adiel as she sprung up into the air and flew away as well. Leaving only the rest to wonder what had just happened. By then the Headmistress had come out and a few other administrators. She first questioned the professor to ask what had transpired and then turned to face the duo that had caused this.

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

"Care to explain, Kouki Tachi?"

Loreley and Kouki were currently in Evara Sarlen's office where Kouki was being questioned as to what happened. And as to who Loreley was.

"Well...I don't much myself Headmistress. I am just a Forgotten after all. I don't truly know anything about this world and Loreley...was just the weapon that I had received from the affinity orb. That is all."

She just silently stared at him from behind her desk, she had her hands crossed and towards her chin as she was sitting down.

"I see. Kouki that's enough for today I would say. Also, don't worry it's fine if you bring her here into the academy from now on. Can I ask you to leave the room? I want to privately converse with Loreley if you don't mind."

He glanced at Loreley but all she was doing was having her head down. He nodded in return.

"Loreley once you're done...I'll be waiting outside"

He took once last look as he exited the office.

As soon as the door was closed Loreley casted a sound barrier around the room so no one else could hear the conversation.

"ATELIA!"

Pure anger rose in Loreley's voice. Taking a step forward and in front of Evara.

"My my my, it has certainly been long Loreley. You know-"

She was cut off.

"How are you still alive! I was certain I killed you."

Evara could only smile at the question.

"For your information, all three of us sisters...are alive. It's always been that way, you failed to truly take us down. You on the other hand exhausted your power and went dormant for all those years. But it seems you have just awoken, by the hands of that boy huh?"

Loreley was shocked to hear what she just did.

"You....all three of you are alive. That...that can't be!"

She backed away as if couldn't accept what she was just hearing.

"You best watch what you do, you realize how much I control by now I suppose. You don't want your dear boy to end up dead do you?"

"You best be sure I will take you down Atelia, you along with your two other sisters! The world has been deceived and I will not let you rampant anymore. I'm not sure what your scheme is but I will stop it!"

She claimed at the top of her lungs as she stormed away. Agitated by the confrontation. Leaving only Evara, or should we say Atelia, to herself.

"Oh, i'm sure you will. Ha...haha..hahahaaaa."

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

- Kouki's House -

"Sigh...what a long day."

After taking a shower Kouki was laying down in bed and Loreley sitting at the edge near him.

"Loreley, are you okay? You've been acting strange after we came back."

She didn't say anything at first and stayed the same.

"Kouki, do you know about the history of this world? Like as how it came to be?"

Kouki wondered that as he actually never got to hear about the history.

"No, not really. Why? Do you know about it?"

She turned her head to look at him.

"I do. A more accurate one to be exact. One that didn't lie to the people of this kingdom and to the rest of the races all together. I was planning on showing you later on...but now, it has to be key."

"Lay back down, i'll sleep next to you as I show you through mind share. It's when I show you my memories."

Kouki layed back down and Loreley went under the covers right beside him. His heart was beating, this was the first time he had slept next to a girl.

"Hey I can hear your thoughts you know"

"Sorry!"

Loreley put her index finger on his forehead.

"I will now show you what happened four hundred thousand years ago."

Everything went dark. Thus, a new story unfolds.
