Chereads / The Strongest Monarch In The Apocalypse Academy / Chapter 9 - Erasing the Anomaly

Chapter 9 - Erasing the Anomaly

{Finally, they left...} Samiel thought.

Hazel still did as she was asked and brought their food here. After having their meals, Somir's maid came and took Somir to his own room.

Hazel also left before giving one last suspicious glance at him.

{Now, I should cultivate my mind power as well.} He muttered inwardly and started to enter the meditative state.

Soon, he 'fell asleep'.

The room became silent. Only little Samiel's breathings were audible.

A few hours later.

Samiel was still in his Mind Space unaware of what was happening on the outside. Even though he wouldn't care much about it since he knew he was in the safest place he could ask for.

It could have been true, if not for the sudden appearance of a white light figure.

An entity made of white light was hovering above baby Samiel. It was looking intently at the baby.

[So, this is the anomaly.] It spoke yet its voice didn't come out.

[**** Authority: ***** Dive] It spoke again.

As soon as it spoke, an azure string came out of the entity and flew toward the baby's forehead.

Buzz!

The string directly entered the baby's head.

[...]

The silence continue as the entity remained unmoving for a while. After a few moments.

The string returned to the entity. Thankfully, nothing seemed to happen to the baby Samiel.

[This baby is indeed an anomaly...] The entity spoke. [Even, I, the World System, am seeing such occurrence for the first time...]

The entity shrouded in white light revealed itself as the World System.

The World System used its authority to read all of the baby's memories and was shocked after it. Since it was nearly an omniscient entity, it knew almost everything. But it couldn't be exactly how the baby was able to acquire these memories.

[So did he come back by accident or was he able to learn ****]

[Is this rebirth? Or does he have some kind of bloodline or talent related to the memory aspect?]

It asked as it thought of possibilities.

[Nevertheless, he shouldn't be allowed to have these memories.] The World System spoke. [It is too risky. I won't allow an unknown variable to exist.]

[Since he is not part of the prophecy, how should I deal with him.] It spoke devoid of any emotion.

[Find it. Erase.]

[To be fair, I shall erase his memories and grant him a talent.] Although The World System was an emotionless entity, it thought of only world peace and fairness.

[I apologize, but this is the safest way.] It spoke.

[Initiate!]

[****** Authority: Erase ****!]

Right at this moment, the baby's body was covered in the same white light.

Buzz!

[Huh? Error?]

To the World System's disappointment, the light faded away in the next second.

[One more time. ]

[Initiate!]

[****** Authority: Erase ****!] The World System commanded again. But this time it paid the baby great attention. It didn't want anything to go wrong this time

Buzz!

This time the light laster for ten seconds before fading away.

[Impossible!] The air trembled and waves of space distortions appeared beside the World System.

[This child is resisting my authority?] Its shocked voice spoke once again. [But how?]

[His mind powers are only equal to that of an Initial Stage Mind Awakener. So it shouldn't be possible.]

The World System thought for a moment before speaking.

[One more time. His mind powers are already exhausted.]

[Initiate!]

[****** Authority: Erase ****!] The World System commanded again hoping this would be the last time.

As it waited nothing happened.

[Erase **** is being initiated.]

[Good. It is working.] The World System said in relief.

[But it seems I need to wait for a while.] It spoke looking at the countdown window hovering above the baby.

[01:00]

The baby left the World System shocked once again. The World System could instantly use this command for every being under the S rank.

Nevertheless, the anomaly was being dealt with now. There was no need to think any further.

However, as the countdown was about to end, something unimaginable happened. Even shocking the World System.

Samiel found himself in the same dark place again. Well, there were tiny lights above like stars. They appeared after he awakened his mind.

He continued to try to strengthen his mind. The only way of cultivating his mind was trying to break through these chains that restricted him.

This was the only way he found for now. Since he was a Cursed Mind and Soul he needed to find it by himself.

And whenever he tried to move, he would feel tremendous pain from both soul and mind. Thankfully, the pain would subside once he started to use the Monarch's technique.

"Hoooh... I need a week to make a breakthrough again..." Samiel muttered.

Somehow he could easily tell it.

"Buzz!"

Suddenly his entire Soul Space started to shake violently.

"Hah? What is happening? An earthquake?" He asked in surprise. "Wait, I am in my mind space now, so I shouldn't feel anything from the outside world until I reach the second stage."

"Hieok!"

Suddenly, white light enveloped the entire space, blinding him along the way.

"Wha-"

Before he could speak, the white light disappeared completely.

"What was that?" Samiel muttered curiously. He felt a sharp pain for a moment there.

As he started his technique, the white light appeared again. This time its intensity was several times stronger.

"Urgh..." Samiel groaned in pain. "W-What is happening?"

"M-my memories! They are disappearing!" He shouted the next second. Because he couldn't remember his last year in the academy anymore.

Fortunately, the white light disappeared in the next 5 seconds.

"Haha..." He 'gasped'. "That was... awesome!"

He shouted in joy.

"I... I was able to absorb that white light!" He spoke again, his eyes shining in discovery. "My mind power increased and my memories are back again too!"

"Is this the work of my Mind Space?" He asked himself as he wondered about the possibility.

He was able to absorb nearly 5% of the white light and he didn't even feel pain. He felt refreshed and anew.

"Let's wait! If it appears again I will try to absorb them in one go!" He decided, his eyes shining in determination.

And after a few moments, the white light appeared again.

"Good, let's start it." He muttered and started running Monarch's technique.

Swoosh!

A vortex appeared in his forehead, it started to absorb the white light at an alarming rate.

"Good, good," Samiel muttered in joy.

"I will absorb them all!"

Samiel started to absorb the light, without knowing he was being 'erased' by the World System.

As time passed the white light started to diminish.

But so Samiel's memories. In fact, his memories were disappearing faster than his absorbing speed.

"I... won't... give up!"
