Adam got motivated to help Arthur but for a whole different reason. He first thought about telling everyone the truth about what he saw last night. It would've worked out alright if he was just a random student.
Firstly he was already Arthur's friend and secondly he was up against Will Cane. The most cunning person he could be against. Adam gave it a little thought and came up with a plan.
He came in front of Arthur to divert the attention and told him to go to the room and wait for him. Adam was nervous but he had no time for these feelings. He had to do something or situation could get worse.
He came and said with a dominant yet polite tone.
" What is the proof that Arthur did it? Who said that he was in his room the whole time?"
" You guys are here spouting nonsense about someone who you don't even know , I bet it's one of you guys who did it ?"
The crowd went silent. Of course half of them were there just for fun and the other half had just heard rumours and came here to take out their anger on him. Suddenly Will came in front.
" You don't have a proof of his innocence either , do you? "
The crowd started yelling again. Adam had no idea what to do. He was confused. With everything tangled in his mind, he spoke up.
" I was there in the same room the whole night and he never went outside , I'm the proof of his innocence".
Now Will had a valid point to present.
" Finally we have the real culprit everyone, i knew it was him but I wanted to confirm it. I saw him at the water cooler during the night. And now he confessed himself by mentioning the night, no one spoke about it but he did ".
Adam had no choice now. Will's cunning personality got him caught in the trap. It was finally clear , Will was after him from the start.
Will was grinning after that. The whole crowd went crazy as they heard it. They were already humiliated by Adam and now they got a reason to beat him up.
Adam was distressed and said that he saw Will the other night doing magic beside the water cooler. No one believed him, they were already cracking their fingers. No one was ready to listen to anything that Adam had to say.
Adam thought for a moment and then ran the other way. He was completely blank. He just wanted to reach to his room somehow. He was cursing the God. "Why is the God so cruel to me". He could feel the bloodlust targeted towards him. It was choking him.
It was an understandable reaction as no one would pass untill they learnt Mana sense and everyone was in pain and could not concentrate. Finally Adam reached a room with an open door. It was not his, but he just wanted to hide.
He was blessed because it was the instructor's room. He told the instructor everything but the instructor was really calm , like he had seen this happen before. He told Adam that it used to happen before too. It was all just a way to reduce competition.
Then the instructor held Adam's head and a bright light shune in front of him. The instructor finally said with a polite tone.
"I understand your situation, now come with me"
The instructor took Adam to the training hall. Everyone else was called there with a faint message sent to them through some sort of spell. When everyone arrived , Will was there too. Adam had already told the instructor everything.
The instructor then called out Will and did the same thing as he did before to him. This time He had a rather angry look on his face. He looked at Will who was acting all innocent and grabbed his shoulder and said to everyone.
"This boy here, is your culprit, I saw his magic skills and he had the poison ability. He just drugged everyone to win alone. "
Will was shocked. He tried to run but the instructor had grabbed his shoulder tight. Everyone was angry but the instructor called out the female mage instructor and treated everyone. It was a light spell so the effects vanished in an instant.
Adam was almost crying. It was his first time he got support and won against Will. But then it hit him.
" Wait a second, why am I so happy I was not there at the first place. I was at my place. "
He soon realised that the memories of this world were messing with his head. He was scared to lose his memory from the other world as the memories of this world were overlapping with that one. It could also be one of the probable causes of why is there no mention of the people coming from other world.
This 'World After' was getting really strange. During all this commotion , Arthur stood there at a corner watching everything. He now owed Adam a favor. Adam on the other hand was thinking about how his emotions were swayed by those memories. There was still the night left till the exam and Adam was nervous as he went to his room and was fast asleep.
Adam had already learnt Mana Sense and was waiting for the next day. Who knows what the exam will bring to them. Arthur on the other hand came after Adam fell asleep. He was thinking about how Adam helped him and how he had a really good friend to trust.
Although Arthur's identity was still a mystery but Adam now had a really good friend.
