One More Time: Rebirth

Chapter 40: After classes

After talking with the Professor of the Alchemy class, I gained a bit more knowledge about Alchemy. It doesn't look like he would be done talking anytime soon. The class time ended long ago, but the Professor continued to talk.

"Professor we have other classes to attend to, so we need to go."

"Huh? What other classes do you need aside from Alchemy?"

It doesn't look like the Professor would let us go that easily. I tried my very best to convince him, and it took quite some time, but Tsukiyomi and I were finally able to getaway. Though his class was quite interesting, if I need to convince him every time I need to leave, this might be the hardest class yet.

'Oh now that I think about, we don't know the Professor's name... I'll just ask him next time.'

After attending all the classes for the day Tsukiyomi headed for the restaurants again. She told me to go back first. So now for the first time in a while, I'm by myself. Somehow it feels a little off not having Tsukiyomi beside me.

Well, what should I do...? Maybe I should just stroll around this huge school. I started walking around the school. I was once again reminded how utterly huge this school was.

If I didn't have a map with me I would probably get lost. In my previous world, I would always get lost while I was traveling towards the demon lord. Yet due to my ability to get lost, I gathered companions who all wish to seek revenge against the demons. If I went by myself I would probably have lost or...

No use thinking about that now. I already decided to live moving forward. While was walking around I once again heard about the 'true humanity.' It seems like the students and even some of the teachers were talking about them. They must be a bigger problem than I initially thought.

As I was wondering how strong the true humanity was, I finally noticed that I was in the middle of what looked like a town square. There were a lot of greenery in this area and there were even things like benches and some of those things called street lamps.

This world has people with great abilities and even its technology far surpasses my old world. Sometimes I think that instead of reincarnating into another world I reincarnated into the future instead. But that wasn't possible I checked every history book every folk tale in my house but there was nothing written about the war against the demon lord.

I walked towards one of the benches as the sun was about to set. I wonder what Tsukiyomi is doing right about now. She might be attacking some students who are trying to hit on her. Sh*t that really might be the case, maybe I should go check on her.

Hmm, wait a minute... I guess I'm worrying too much, Tsukiyomi is a grown woman. Yeah that's right she must know what she's doing, and it's such a fun afternoon to waste on fighting some weaklings she picks on. Actually the grass down there looks comfortable maybe I should take a little nap. I went down removed my sword belt and staff and placed them on the ground beside me and laid on the grass. It was rather comfortable. I closed my eyes and after a while, I fell asleep.

"ey, hey, Edge Regius, wake up!" I heard a woman's voice must be Tsukiyomi.

"I don't want to it's too early... Why don't you go out and eat or something Tsukiyomi."

"HUH? I'm not Tsukiyomi, Edge Regius." Huh, not Tsukiyomi? I slowly opened my eyes and in front of me was a silver-haired girl. Her heterochromatic eyes were staring straight at me. She looked like she was pouting.

"How come you think I was Tsukiyomi?" She was mumbling something but I couldn't hear it.

"Huh? What did you say, Evangeline?" She waved her hands frantically and answered in a high pitch tone.

"Nothing! Absolutely nothing!" Overwhelmed by her sudden burst I spoke timidly. "Ah, ok I see." She then breathed a sigh of relief and started talking again.

"By the way what are you doing sleeping here, Edge Regius? This is not a place for someone to sleep. You might catch a cold." She actually looked a bit concerned. Maybe she is a good person after all.

"Just call me Edge, using my full name must be tiresome. I'll just call you Eva as well. So you approached me because you were worried about me?"

Evangeline's POV

First, he asked me to call him with his first name, and then he gave me a nickname, now he's saying I'm worried about him. With those string of words, my head was starting to overheat. I couldn't understand it. I have never really spoken to a boy before, aside from my father and uncles, I haven't spoken to any other male... Well, this is rather strange, why am I so concerned about him? Is it because I lost to him? Is that it? I don't understand.

Edge's POV

Eva suddenly went quiet. Was it not alright to call her Eva?

"Hey if you don't want me to call you Eva, just say it." Hearing what I said, Eva shook her head.

"No, no, no, no, it's alright you can call me whatever you want. Using E, e, e, edge, and E...Eva is simpler so I approve of it. Ok, you must return to the dormitory, if you want to take a nap. This is no place to sleep, I'll be seeing you then E,e, e... Edge!!"

After stuttering and speaking so fast she left after speaking. How weird of her, but now I have a better opinion of her. She was a very caring person. Wait... The way she stuttered was just like when Tsukiyomi teases me. Oh, I see, so she's just like me, she doesn't really know how to talk to someone of the opposite gender.

I then noticed that the moon was already out. Tsukiyomi must be waiting for me or she could still be eating. Well, either way, better get back to the dormitory, like Eva said.
