After the work, the two were on their way home after shopping. Cheonwoong asked Aria when they approached home about the half way.
"Do you need anything else?"
Then Aria shook her head. However, when they arrived in front of the house, Aria saw the school uniform in Cheonwoong's room inside the window. Aria remembered that the school is starting next week.
Upon hearing that, Cheonwoong looked at Aria with strange eyes and asked,
"You don't even have a school uniform?"
Then Aria hesitated and nodded once. It was Cheonwoong, whose blood pressure rose for a moment. Cheonwoong sighed and walked toward the school.
"Follow me."
Cheonwoong said. Cheonwoong had a bad feeling for some reason.
They were walking to school, about five minutes away from the house, when Aria reached the main gate of the school, a whisper came. However, this time, not only familiar whispers but also a few whispers began to be heard at the same time. Trapped by extreme tension, Aria looked at Cheonwoong. However, Cheonwoong's expression was also frozen. The two did not talk to each other. Then the two entered school with a deep breath.
Aria looked up at the notice on the wall. Then she noticed that she didn't have an admission certificate and a resident registration number.
At that moment, several whispers came again, and she went to a warehouse that gives a school uniforms, spacing out as if possessed for a while. Then Cheonwoong followed her. possessed remained expressionless without saying anything while standing in line.
When Aria stood at the front of the line, the teacher asked her name. Suddenly, she came to her senses. She looked embarrassed. Aria still had a whisper in her head. Cheonwoong said her name instead her. The teacher who dealt with Aria and Cheonwoong said that the name "Aria" could not be found on the student list. Cheonwoong once again asked, saying that it couldn't be. Aria was embarrassed and pulled Cheonwoong's arm, saying, "Let's come back later." At that moment, the teacher's computer typing stopped. Aria's whisper in her head became even rougher. Then the teacher got up from the chair and handed Aria a school uniform with an inflexible movement like a cold robot. It was a just right size. Usually, they give it a little bigger one because they have to wear it for 3 years. Aria was spaced out for a while after receiving her school uniform. And then the teacher turned back and then the said with a bright voice.
"Excuse me, if got it, can you get out of the line?"
Then Aria and Cheonwoong rushed out. Aria and Cheonwoong looked at each other and said nothing, but they confirmed that they were out of breath. And when they left the main gate of the school, the whispers disappeared. However what surprised her more was that her name was proudly written at the bottom of the list of freshmen in front of the main gate. Cheonwoong asked Aria to go quickly, sweating a lot.
They didn't talk about what happened at school that day as if they had promised. In the evening, the two had a light supper, and Aria fell asleep on the sofa again. It was 8:57 p.m. Cheonwoong looked at Aria for a moment, put on a hoodie and went out. Then Lia's mana stone rang and another half of the remaining mana stone disappeared.
Cheonwoong was returning after buying some drinks at the grocery store. Cheonwoong turned around due the sound of a dog barking behind him. Cheonwoong looks back and takes something out of a plastic bag. Suddenly, something transparent hits Cheonwoong from behind. Cheonwoong took out the mini knife he purchased from the grocery store. However, Cheonwoong was helplessly beaten.
As soon as Cheonwoong almost fainted, Cheonwoong stood up again from the ground. The transparent thing tried to hit Cheonwoong, but Cheonwoong naturally avoided it and tripped it. Dust flew on the ground, and Cheonwoong stared it as if he could see a transparent thing. He was looking at it with no expression. The cold night breeze further amplifies dust on the ground. Cheonwoong's hair scatters. The light of the street lamp shines on Cheonwoong's right eye. Cheonwoong's eyes were not scary, but creepy, and the eye focus was exactly toward the transparent thing.
Cheonwoong walks over it. The transparent thing crawled back. The distance between the dust of Cheonwoong and its dust was getting closer and closer. Around the time the two dusts overlap, Cheonwoong's hair that was flying calmed down and his eyes was returned standard, and the two dusts got far away.
At that moment, Cheonwoong's leg was too relaxed and he was sweating like a fountain. Cheonwoong walked back to home and opened the front door with such a painful moan, felt a strange energy in the house. When Cheonwoong entered the house, Aria's mana stone stopped ringing. When Cheonwoong saw Aria, he felt so sad to her. Cheonwoong tried to turn off the light of the living room, touching the switch, and closing his eyes.
"Tap!"
Cheonwoong opened his eyes again in the darkness. Cheonwoong took a shower in the darkness and was lost in thought while water hit him like a heavy rain. Cheonwoong himself doesn't know what he's thinking. For some reason, the more he dug into the current thinking, the more he felt trapped in the jungle. Cheonwoong continued to cut and cut leaves and trees, but in the end, he continued to be blocked by bigger forests and walls.
Cheonwoong sighed and stopped the shower. Cheonwoong has put his brain in a pause, but he continues to demand regeneration in his head. The appearance of Cheonwoong now was like Aria a day or two ago. Cheonwoong could not find himself. No matter how much he wander, he feels like he's staying in the void. Cheonwoong was originally surprised to see his body full of wounds while changing clothes, but somehow the wound felt assimilated into his body. Cheonwoong is now putting his arms into cloths, and his reflection in the mirror somehow looked more pathetic than Aria. Cheonwoong took out his cell phone with no top on, lay on the bed, and stared at the light of the lock screen.
He could see the moonlight coming through the small window. he felt like he would reach the moon if he went up following that light. Cheonwoong stretched out his arms to the light, but nothing touched. Now Cheonwoong seemed to be a person who is completely the opposite than usual, he thought he feels like struggling in his dream. Cheonwoong got up from the bed gently and headed to Aria. He brushed his bluish hair for a couple times.
Cheonwoong approached Aria and sat under the sofa where Aria was lying. He came, but didn't know what to say or what to do. So he just looked at Aria. He looked at outside which was getting darker. The night is getting deeper. Cheonwoong blanked out in the darkness. He laid down by the sofa. Raindrops fall from outside and quickly rained cats and dogs. Then, Cheonwoong fell asleep with the sound of rain.
As Aria disappeared, in the far parallel universe, the Urban Army started to wipe out the planets. The Urban Army wanted to kill Aria clearly, and the Galaxy Coalition, she was essential ally. So both army continued to searching for her. One day, two urban soldiers returned to the base. Then the Urban Commander approached them and looked at them as if they had something to say.
The two hesitated and said,
"We're sorry. We could've taken care of it, but suddenly..."."
At that moment, the commander looked at them with fierce eyes and raised his hand. His frightening appearance made the two stiff without finishing their words. The commander was about to yell at the two and hit them, but suddenly, the commander's eyes and hair turned red. Then the two walked backwards with a very surprised look. Other people around them calmed the commander down. The commander said when he calmed down a little.
"Go back." Until you achieve what you must achieve...…"
"Before that, never think about coming back!"
The two stood in a row and saluted loudly, answering "Yessir!"
Then an officer next to the commander said,
"These two... I think it's going to be hard for them."
Then the commander smiled and said,
"It's okay, I already handled it for a bit. So it'll be bit easier for them to do it. Oh! Actually, the two will never return!"
Upon hearing that, the commander patted the officer's shoulder and beckoned him to come closer. Then he whispered in his ear.
"I believe you a trustable man. Also your mouth. I have no doubt."
The commander sneaked a knife out of his pocket and said, stabbing the officer's stab and bullet proof vest with a knife, as the proof vest is not a big deal.
"Hope you behave well. Now get shXX away from my sight."
The knife broke through the proof vest, his uniform and bit of the skin. It stopped just before the blood vessel. The officer was too overwhelmed so that he could barely stand.
