Little Story

___

Avalon Academy

Rie is currently preparing souvenirs that she will take home, that's all she brought. Clothes and other equipment he will not bring. There were so many souvenirs to be given to Aeolus, even Rie's room was full of them.

"Clothes... There is."

"Food... There is."

Accessories... There is."

Toys... There is."

"Well, everything is complete."

"Telekinesis."

Rie put all these items into a small waist bag-shaped dimension bag.

"It's almost 12 o'clock, then I'll go straight to warp point."

Rie checked the state of her room once again and went out of the room, not forgetting to lock it with a key. This place is a hostel for those who are talented, trained with the aim of becoming the hope and foundation of this continent.

Before going home, Rie did not forget to greet his friends and teachers first. When he arrived at warp point, he was questioned by officers.

"Where Are you going, Lady."

"The city Freined the territory of Duke Ferdant.'

"Please enter room 19, the cost is 1 gold coin."

"Sure."

Rie entered the room and the attendant's voice came out of the magic device at short notice. After that, the countdown begins.

"10."

"9."

"Just wait for me Avel, this cute sister of yours will be home soon!"

"2."

"1."

The room glowed with blue light and brought Rie disappeared.

***

Aeolus Avel.

A human being.

He is an experienced great stalker who has virtual gaming experience as an assassin. As proof he can sneak anywhere without removing even a trace of presence. Even now that he was peeking at a girl, it was more correct to say he was sitting next to her.

'You are a pervert, Master.'

'Shut Up, Nothing.'

Nothing has been turned into an earring. They were looking at the newspaper Anastasia was reading. Aeolus became the youngest Grandmaster in history.

'I think he's one of your fans.'

'It's possible, but I don't know what he's thinking.'

'Look at that face, she's so beautiful. If I were still the person I was, I would have grabbed her and taken her to bed."

'Your stupid sword turned out to be a pedophile.'

'Hey, Of course I'll wait for it to mature and enjoy it. Attacking a small child is not this honorable principle of Nothing. In addition, caring for and raising children to be a wife in the future is a promising form of investment. Write it down, Master.'

'...'

They communicate not through conversation or magic, it is only by eye gaze. This ability is almost close to Real telepathy without magic energy.

'Then how about this girl's approach? He was a regressor, so surely he had a lot of information that mattered. Besides I see the word Apocalypse in the title, I feel it has something to do with your main quest, Master.'

'I will directly interact with him now. '

Aeolus noticed a gap in Anastasia's defense, he attached a mana sheath to her and cast an illusion spell on her. Teleportation Magic covered them both, Anastasia and Aeolus left leaving the park without anyone noticing their existence. Except someone.

***

"Huh?"

Anastasia felt the warm light of the sun touching the surface of her skin. What was in front of him was none other than Aeolus, who was 180 cm tall looking straight at Anastasia who looked like a child at 160 cm tall. The newspaper he was holding was shaking, his hand was squeezing the newspaper with all its might. Tears came out of those red eyes.

Anastasia ran with all her might and hugged Aeolus.

- Buack!

Maybe this is what you think, but Aeolus put an energy barrier with his mana in front of Anastasia's face. Anastasia, whose attention was focused only on Aeolus, hit her head hard against the barrier.

'... What are you doing, Master?'

'Just a little watch.'

'Fool, you should have accepted his embrace and kissed his lips. Imagine how much he misses you. Only by looking at her behavior can you conclude that she is your future darling.'

'Well I'll accept his embrace, but not now.'

Aeolus looked at Anastasia with a neutral expression. His rock-hard face did not let out a guilty expression when betraying a girl's feelings. The stunned Anastasia stared at Aeolus ' stupid face and groaned, her soft cheeks bulging showing how disappointed she was.

"Grrrr... You should have received my warm welcome! What the fuck is that behavior of yours! Don't you feel guilty for betraying a girl's feelings!?... "

'This woman is so chatty, I want to tie her up and bury her deep... '

A tinge of killing intent emanated from Aeolus ' eyes, Nothing prevented him from coming out.

'Master, you should have a code of Conduct for women. Besides, you've been emotionally unstable lately.'

'Well, I don't know why this is happening more and more often.'

Nothing in the shape of earrings glows bright red. The energy he radiates helps the mental stability of its user. Aeolus smiled and returned the look on his face. His lips were smirking and his eyes were showing happiness.

"Congratulations on your regression, Anastasia."

Anastasia regained consciousness, tears poured out again. His eyes turned red and he bit his lips hard.

"Hiks, hiks..."

'Master... You made a girl cry...'

"..."

A little later Anastasia smiled back, not crying like a moment ago.

"It's good to see you healthy."

"Yes..."

"So, what happened to you in the last five years?"

Aeolus sipped tea from the Cup in his hand. This place is a meadow on a hill not far from the city. Aeolus prepares a simple picnic of items stored in his space magic.

"I am a reincarnator from a world called Earth. I had a dream of becoming the strongest man in the world, so I trained hard to achieve my dream-"

"16."

"?"

"I've heard that story for 16x."

"..."

Aeolus reached for the cake Cassandra had made, it tasted really good. She is a talented waitress.

"Then will you listen to my story? I can confirm that you are not a regressor, although you are aware of the fact that I am a regressor because of your sharp 'eyes'."

"So what about me first?"

"You are an ordinary boy living in the city of Kalen who lives a quiet and peaceful life. When you were 10 years old, you entered the academy because the Landlord there knew you were talented, rumors spread as the youngest Sword Master in history. I who at that time was 17 years old had just become an Aura Master, heard those rumors with disbelief at first. However, when the entrance exam came you beat up all the examinees in the arena. The most unexpected thing happened, because at that time the rumors about you spread, all the 2nd to 5th year school year students came in droves to see the truth, that's when you provoked all the students present there. You challenged thousands of elite students of Avalon Academy to fight together. I don't know how many enemies you made even before becoming an official student... Then, the top 5 students from each school year advance to the arena. With a total of 20 people against you ranging from mages, swordsmen, even to students with the top written test scores fight against you by giving commands from a distance. The swordsmanship taught by Avalon Academy specializes in fighting between people, but your swordsmanship is truly domineering and undeniable, your swordsmanship is so bad, weak, slow, and even inefficient. However, the determination contained in your every move is a testament to years of endless hard work. Your sword is hot, cold, windy, even beautiful at the same time. That's Four Season Swordsmanship, your sword moves naturally by guiding nature using yourself as the guide. At its peak, this swordsmanship used the sun, moon, stars, and the world as its embodiment."

Aeolus and Nothing stared at each other in silence.
