Waking up in his tent Cain was happy, today was the day he would be returning to the academy
'Everything is working out great, I made a lot of money, I finally have a way to deal with Selena and I know how to increase my mana pool'
'Yet although everything is going great, I have this weird feeling that I am forgetting something important'
Pushing aside the weird feeling, Cain noticed he had a message on his Z-Watch
[
Dear Students
The Survival training has come to an end and students will be returning to the academy soon
Students are advised to stay in their current positions as staff will come to guide the students back
]
'The teachers will probably arrive soon, I should probably pack my tent away'
Exiting the tent Cain noticed Selena standing outside patiently it seemed she had also read the message as she had packed away her tent
"It seems this was just a test from the academy after all, hurry up a teacher should be here soon" Selena said as the cold demeanor she usually had seemed to return
'Is this girl bipolar?, she is making me wonder whether the annoying girl from yesterday was even real, Well it doesn't matter I like her better this way'
Cain thought as he quickly took down his tent, quickly putting away his tent there was an awkward silence as none of them made an effort to talk to the other
'Maybe I was wrong I liked her when she talked more this atmosphere is awkward'
Not being able to take the awkward atmosphere anymore Cain was going to talk to Selena when The Crimson Witch appeared
'WHAT IS SHE DOING HERE!?!, she is supposed to be monitoring the main characters team why is she here with us'
'NO, NO, NO, NO, NO, NO, NO, NO, I must have changed the plot again, most of the plot changes I have made have been minor and have been things I could fix but if she did not monitor the main characters she might not become interested in Leo which could lead to his death'
The Crimson Witch, a young hero who had climbed the hero rankings at a young age and at an unprecedented speed and had been named the prodigy of her generation
The Crimson Witch an S+ rank hero at the young age of 23, she is also the homeroom teacher of class A-1 and at such a young age became a teacher at the world's most prestigious academy, in [The Heavens Chosen] she was a very important character as she was the main characters mentor, she trained him personally not only did she train him but she also gave him many resources which lead to him being able to grow at a frightening speed, she also saved his life in many situations it is safe to say that without her he would have died earlier in the novel, and this school training trip was where she monitored Leo's team and first got interested in him, which eventually lead to her becoming his mentor
'If she did not monitor Leo she would not have gotten interested in him and would never have become his mentor, if that happens I don't even want to think how the novel would have ended'
Not noticing the inner turmoil which Cain was in Ms.Tyla started talking
"Well done you two have placed within the top 10, I was happy to see your adaptability in emergency situations..."
As she continued speaking Cain was still stuck in his thoughts
'I need to calm down, if I can find an opportunity to make her notice Leo the plot should revert to its original timeline'
" Cain I was happy to see how in an emergency situation instead of running away like your other team members, you chose to go and save Selena, and don't worry I will keep your secret"
She said as she winked at Cain
'Huh what secret? , shit she probably saw me use [Blink], FUCK she saw me teleport something which would probably interest her I need to make sure she becomes uninterested in me and focuses on Leo'
"Anyways we should return now, hold onto me" she said as she took out a metallic orb from her storage ring, holding onto her they soon disappeared from the spot they were standing in
***
Appearing in the training hall Cain noticed how many students they were
'Huh not everyone is here yet, they should arrive soon'
(5 minutes later)
As the training hall was full of students the atmosphere was different from before the trip
Before the trip the training hall had been loud and lively as many students laughed and talked as they met their team members
Yet now the atmosphere was completely different as there was a tense atmosphere as the room was completely quiet
'Huh, I knew it would be tense after the trip but I didn't think it would be this bad'
While Cain was in his thoughts a fight started
"YOU LEFT ME TO DIE!" a male student with blonde hair shouted as he attacked a green haired male
"YOU WERE INJURED AND YOU'RE BLOOD WAS ATTRACTING OTHER MONSTERS!" the green haired boy screamed as he hit the blonde haired boy back
"I GOT INJURED PROTECTING YOU AND HOW DO YOU REPAY ME, BY ABANDONING ME WHEN I WAS TO WEAK TO PROTECT MYSELF, I THOUGHT WE WERE FRIENDS" the blonde haired boy said as mana could be seen forming on his palm
Realizing that the fight was escalating quickly a teacher quickly went and stopped it
And at that moment he walked in, Jack Coldstone, the homeroom teacher of class A-2 and the one who had suggested the Survival training for the students
"The survival training just ended and I have to say how disappointing it was, this exercise was meant for students to work together and to grow stronger as a team, I had faith that you students could do it, you are the golden generation, a generation with more potential than the previous ones yet I was very disappointed, team mates fighting each other over food and water, teammates abandoning each other, teammates betraying each other, team mates committing unspeakable deeds which even demons would not do to their own kind, you know humans are worth living because we fight for each other, we care for each other and we would do anything to survive, you know after seeing what kinds of things you did out there it made me wonder whether us as humans deserve to live, if this is what humanity is like then the demon king should come and kill us all now, we don't deserve to live if we will attack our own friends for our own lives"
As his voice reverbarated around the room using his sound magic, you could hear the anger and the disappointment in his voice
Hearing his speech many students had they head down in shame as they truly noticed what monsters they were, how they abandoned and hurt people they called their friends for their own survival
This was the day many students matured as they saw what real monsters humanity could become
***
Arriving in his room Cain immediately jumped on his bed as many thoughts were in his head
'What is this weird feeling, I have felt it since this morning it feels like I am forgetting something important'
And with that thought Cain drifted off to sleep
Around 2am early in the morning a vibration went off on the sleeping Cains wrist as a message was sent to his Z-Watch
[ From : Sarah
I'm sorry
]
Not noticing the message Cain continued sleeping not knowing he might never see Sarah again
