"How was your injuries, Marco. I heard you and Vlee got into an accident."
"... Huh? A kid?"
—
"Hey! I'm not a kid!"
"Ow!"
Using a metal beam that summoned out of nowhere, she threw it againts me.
"My... I suppose I ended up too far. Heal."
In her command, the wound in my head suddenly dissapeared. She cleared her throat and talked.
"Ehem. Sorry for the unpolite welcome, I'm Kallen Tvochnost, Vlera's teacher."
"Nice to meet you, Teacher Kallen."
"Not the formalities please, you may call me Kallen like Vlee does."
"Nice to meet you... Kallen."
"There we go!"
In her little figure, small voice and kind attitude, this Teacher was so far from what I imagined.
"Uhh, can I ask one thing?"
"Anything, Marco."
"How... Do you know my name?"
"Vlee said so."
"Oh."
"You've been sleeping for the past 3 hours since Vlee sent you here so we got to talk a thing or two about you."
"I see..."
This is weird. After I woke up in the Normal World after the monster knocked both me and Vlera, im sure I spent a whole day before I slept. But now, it was just continued from when i woke up in this world? Weird.
"Is there anything bothering you? You look confused."
"Oh, no, no, its was nothing."
"Are you sure? Our next topic is more confusable than your face is showing off right now."
"Please continue, I'm alright."
From her command, all of the doctors and assistants left out of the room, Vlera dropped Kallen in her seat to also leave but Kallen stopped her.
"Don't, Vlera, you're involved in this"
"Sure, Teacher."
...
"To start the conversation, how was your trip to this place?"
Considering that im not from this world, I should watch my words.
"It sure is new for me now that this is my first time seeing this place, though it was kind of bad after we got in an accident, I'm glad we got to reach this place safely."
"Great. Now, before you met Vlera, what are you doing, where are you?"
"It was kind of embarrassing but I'm on a cliff commiting suicide just to find out if this was a dream or not, Vlera found me and catched me."
"(Finally, a bizarre moment, no one would believe such a reason, well, not for me.) I see, but, why do you think this is a dream?"
"This morning, it was normal and all, but when afternoon came, everything changed, as if I was delivered to another world. It was hard to explain but this is as far as I can tell."
"Thanks for your answers, Marco. Your dinner will be delivered anytime soon so be sure to eat it, you can spend your night here if you want."
"Sure, thanks a lot."
Kallen left with Vlera and it left me with alot of questions.
"(What did i just said?! Those questions, my answers, I do not intend to say those things! Why? Why can't I lie earlier?! Did she do something to me?!)"
...
To Kallen and Vlera... Who's walking out of Marco's room.
"Hahaha!"
"Teacher, you really made to reveal his secret."
"Of course. I was actually surprised that you didn't have to use the bomb I gave you just to kidnap him."
"Can you tell me why did you have to give me that bomb?"
"Self defence and offense of course."
"Teacher... We both know that I practiced more than enough to kill a dragon for me to use such a thing."
"Haha! Sure, I'll tell you the reason.
Normally, I'm always sending you to the eastern direction, correct? The reason is... I was investigating someone from the opposite direction, the west.
This past month, a traveller came to stop at Branch, our City. That time, I was doing groceries until his presence took my interest. I followed him, and it bought me to a random barn."
...
"Kallen Tvochnost, a Teacher from The Branch. To think that I would meet you in such a place."
"You, how did you know that I am here?"
"Please, your actions were easy predictable even in your child figure. Tell me, what do you want from me?"
"Why? Why did you visited this place? I heard about your doings from the nearby City."
"Why? Is it bad that your City have visitors hanging around?"
"Go away, now."
"No."
"I said-"
"Kallen, I do not tolerate even if you're a kid or not, one wrong move and your head would be gone."
He was so fast that even from that distance, he made to slip behind me in a matter of second, he aimed a knife through my neck and told me to turn over.
"Now, if you don't want to die, slowly turn over and leave like if you saw nothing. And no, once you report me to the police, I would kill you, on, the, spot."
He gave me a creepy grin as I run like a child and since then I never visited that place.
...
"But Teacher, if that man was so strong that even you can't face him, why would you assign someone like me to kidnap that guy?"
"You see, last week..."
... I've been monitoring him using my magic, every move of him, every choices he made, I spied him over the last two weeks, but yesterday, he seemed off.
Confused of everything, being unaware of his Name, and doing the most unpredictable desicions. From my view, I know something happened to this man. After I assassinated one of the resident close to the Barn where he lives, I found out that suddenly — their relation to the man became from stranger to childhood friends, I also found out that their hobby was to visit the Playground so I corrupted the resident's mind to invite the man into the Playground and test him using one of my dragons. From there, is when I ordered you to save the man, Marco.
As I watch as you kill the dragon, I could see how Marco was amazed from what he saw. From there, it was concluded; That the Marco, who was a serial killer that caused for the neighbor City to fall because of him became a Marco who's just a simpleton of a weakling who knows nothing but to commit suicide in a cliff.
"I see, so that's why you made me ready in case of emergency."
"Yup. We could also say that the Serial Killer Marco was replaced by Idiot Marco."
"But why did you ordered me to kidnap him?"
"You see, Pandraconium is now hinting to start once again."
"Pandraconium?"
"A phenomena in which the world would suffer from dragon invasions. This happens every once in a century so I'm not surprised if you don't know about this."
"I see, but what is his connection between him and the Pandraconium?"
"Like I said, he's originally a serial killer. If not because of his visit here, I wouldn't be able to capture him, and when the Pandraconium starts, he might be the one who leads the dragons months after."
"So what do you want to do about this?"
"To use him. Use a villain in heroic way. Brilliant right?"
"*Nods*"
"Let's consult him again tomorrow and try to tell him parts of his original past. If he literally forgets how he used to fight, you're free to train him."
In a fading light, Vlera and her Teacher, Kallen, left the scene on a dark hallway. To Marco's place, he was still confused on how he got to tell the truth to Kallen even though he intend to lie about his 'Being-sent-into-another-world'.
