Ivon's past self was sharp and his predictions based on his records of any person were so accurate that he made all the preparations beforehand. From his brother, Elesis's escape to his 3rd reincarnation was all part of his prediction. He knew what was going to happen so he prepared everything to secure his soul.
Ivon doesn't remember his 1st life's memories but after he read his past record, he understood that it was all part of his plan. He literally gambled with his soul by throwing his own soul into the dark by trusting in his pure luck. It was like do or die when he died to start his plan's first step.
Neul laughed as he read his past life's record and said,
"What a careless guardian you are, Elerous."
The driver in front of him didn't move or say anything after he heard him talking by himself. His job was to take him to college and bring him back home. So he had no authority to talk about his daily life or whatsoever.
Even though he was a thug, he was still the fourth son of the chairman. So, nobody from his father's workers had any authority to complain about him. Neul looked at his face and his memory said that the driver was a spy appointed by his elder brother to spy on him. His job was to report everything and gather as much evidence as he could to kick him out of the family or worse, kill him and throw him in the river by his gang.
Tsk! I guess the taboo magic took my 'peaceful life' as payment. I will never have the opportunity to have a good life for a couple of decades because of this.
Viktor turned the page of his old record and searched for his brother's soul and found out something really interesting. After his brother escaped with the guardian of death and time, their soul was sent to earth with their body intact in three different places on earth. They were in deep sleep and only Ivon's fragment magic could turn them on. Since the fire guardian problem was solved, he was no longer in trouble. He was free to use his fragment as he wish.
There was a lot to solve because it was only the second step of Elerous' plan. He had to summon the guardian of stars and moon, save his brother and the other guardians from different places on earth, find the guardian fragments around the earth and finally his 3rd step…
The car stopped in front of a huge gate and another bodyguard opened the door for him. The bodyguard bowed to him and left after Ivon entered the gate.
It was Seoul's one of the richest private colleges and the college he was studying in was known as the rich brats collage. From politicians' kids to rich family kids who didn't pass the national mock exam, they all ended up in college to protect their family status and reputation.
Ugh! Maybe I should just take my share and leave this country for the sake of my peace. I don't have any time for that.
Ivon looked around after he went out of his house and noticed a wave of mana around him. Unlike on earth, the mana was a lot denser back in Viktor's world. Mana was everywhere but on earth, it barely had any. But the presence of mana made him think about something…
If there's smoke, there's definitely fire. The earth doesn't have any humans with mana now. But I am sure there was a time when humans knew how to use mana and cast magic spells.
There's also a possibility that magicians also exist deep in the shadows where normal humans can't enter. They might live among us but for the lack of mana in our bodies, we couldn't see them.
A human can't think about anything non-existent without any clues. A human guessed about elves, dwarfs, and even giants that don't have any real-life proof in this world. But they still exist on different planets. If mages didn't really exist, how did the concept of mage and magic pass down as fantasy in a non-magical world?
As Ivon was walking past the campus road, a student accidentally bumped into him but when he saw his face, he immediately apologised with a 90-degree bow and quickly left.
He was dumbfounded by the boy's act.
It's supposed to be my 2nd semester this month but looks like this Neul punk already pulled some crazy acts right after he enrolled here. Hah.. how am I supposed to clean up his mess?
Ivon walked inside his classroom and took the last seat to avoid any attention. He was already tired after a long fight and his reincarnation so he needed some sleep peacefully. Based on his memories, not even the college teachers dared to scold him for doing any bad work.
Even if he sleeps while shoring loudly, nobody will complain about it.
Good for me because I'm going to rest this new body of mine and look into some records of some people Neul usually walks with. Or else, I might get into trouble.
But he didn't know that a new character would start to create problems on the very day he just reincarnated.
The first class ended as usual but it was rather peaceful than the other days. Neul used to bully some random students in the class but today, it was silent. He kept his head down and kept his mouth shut that a curious classmate of his was annoyed.
He was planning to file a complaint to the police for billing but he couldn't get any evidence so he was annoyed and decided to take a different path.
He walked closer to his seat in rage and said, "Oi, Kang. Why do you reek of alcohol? Don't you know it's not permitted to drink inside the college?"
He just said something out of the ordinary by assuming his behaviour but when Ivon lifted his head, he smelt nothing but a fresh rose scent from his body. He was fresh as a blooming flower.
So the student thought he was going to hit him for waking up but Ivon failed to abide by his expectations. Without getting annoyed Ivon rubbed his eyes and said, " Sorry, I didn't get that. What were you saying?"
The student was shocked to hear his words. "Um, I .. "
"Is there something on my face?"
Neul was naturally a handsome man because of his parents. But his facial expression and behaviour covered all of them. His drug and alcohol addiction also damaged his health so he used to have dark circles around his eyes so his beauty was buried under those.
But after he took a healing potion, all of his internal wounds were healed and he was back to his real shape. And his recent change of behaviour made his beauty stand out more so the boy who was planning to file a complaint against him became flabbergasted.
"Ah, no. I was just asking if you want to play basketball with us during lunch break."
The boy who asked him became surprised by his own words that he started to scream inside his mind. 'What are you doing Ijin!!! Are you trying to dig your own grave!! He's never going to accept and even if he did, the game will become one-sided dodgeball!'
But surprisingly, Neul accepted his invitation and went outside the classroom because it was already lunch break. Ijin gulped his nearly left soul back into his dry throat.
'What was I even thinking!'
Neul heard him mumbling on his back but still, he decided to keep his mouth shut and play the game to wipe the heavy tension off his shoulder. He was tired so he wanted to stretch out a bit.
"So, what was your name again? I've never seen you in the class before." Neul asked.
The student walking behind him said, "I'm Ijin Reu."
"I see. You scored first place in the first-semester exam, right? You're a good student."
It's a good thing that this punk Neul didn't bully him before. I can use him and clear off my mess around the campus so that I can stay cool for 4 or 5 years at least.
"Oh, looks like you know about me very well."
Because I just read your whole record, kid. You'll become my scapegoat. But I don't understand one thing. It's been only a few hours since I died and woke up in a new body. But my heart is so calm that I'm getting surprised. Adonis must be so mad that he might've destroyed that whole planet already. Since 20 minutes here is a week there I don't think he's okay without me.
Moreover, I already have to start finding my twin brother who's probably sleeping in Hawaii.
Hah… I envy my past days.
Neul went inside the gym room but he instantly vanished after he told ijin that he had to do some other stuff.
Ijin felt relieved. But he was curious and he thought that he was going to bully someone again. So he followed him to gather evidence to kick him out of the college.
Back of the campus washroom…
Well, I don't know why that punk followed me but it's been a decade-long time since I had a can of coke. Glad that I bought three of them.
He sat down on the empty bench near the college boundary and opened his can of coke to calm his mind down. Even though he was talking and acting as if everything was okay, the pain of his heart stabbing by a spear was still throbbing.
His new body wasn't used to mana and fragment so he was bleeding out of his nose because of the pressure. He was frustrated.
Ugh! I don't even have the mental strength to wipe my nose. I can feel the blood dripping on my shoe but I really don't care now. I'm tired.
Suddenly, Ijin came from behind and said, "I didn't know you were this careless. Your shoe is already ruined because of your nosebleed."
Neul looked back and saw Ijin holding his phone, probably recording something. He was also surprised to see Neul bleeding like hell.
"Are you sure you're okay?"
"I'm fine… just leave…"
But Ijin was a real pushover. He took a seat beside him and stared at his nose which was bleeding out like a water tap. "You're going to get a cardiac arrest if you keep bleeding like this."
Tsk! This punk has no intention of leaving alone.
