Hypnotized: My Second Life Mission
Identity Scepticism

Ayato and Irvin opened their eyes and faintly saw a familiar face in their eyes.

“Hei. Is that scary to you?”

One question was asked for them.

“Sensei Tasiro.”

“Dad.”

Call them together even in different places. True enough, Tasiro has now stood straight before each of them with his sharp eyes and his slanted smile that seems to clearly show the cunning in his lips and look in his eyes.

Tasiro sat in front of them and positioned himself as best he could and then showed a maroon-colored card on Ayato in his right hand while a dark gray card on Irvin in his left hand.

“Ayato view this. Your courage, your confidence in yourself and your focus within you have dimmed, if you allow that supposed bright red color to darken and eventually die of blackness. You will never achieve your wishes in the future. Let alone that, even out of this Tor Grosses can not.”

Just now Ayato wanted to move more, but her movements were like locked onto something invisible. His body was stiff and breathing was not so smooth as usual, he felt a little tight and it made him more depressed supported by an all-white atmosphere that was actually where he was.

He took a deep breath and relaxed his body as much as possible. “Grose Tor? What is dad?”

Tasiro spread her hand. “This place is Grose Tor or you can call it with a big gate. You know, you have managed to find out the gate key,” he replied.

Tasiro stood up from his place. “You understand what I mean, don't you? The answer lies in you. Who are you?”

Ayato's eyes looked dark. “I Ayato De Ryuu.”

Tasiro walked away from Ayato slowly as she said. “True, Ayato De Ryuu my son. Find your way!”

The figure of Tasiro finally disappeared from his view and the room filled with water returned with his position that is now lying down after unconsciousness. He opened his eyes. He has now answered his father's question and strangely even he who had been holding his breath was now unconsciously diving up with a smooth breath.

Fake shadows himself disappeared one by one when all the questions that were piled up in him were answered one by one with great confidence so as to defeat the questions that trapped him in the journey of finding the teak selves.

Without needing to act again, everything disappeared, the illusion test was over. All doubts and self-doubts he had discovered. It's back in its place.

On the other side.

“Irvin Forke, until when did you stick with my son's attitude? Why do you always follow him, the questions and the awkwardness in your heart have haunted you and it has made you doubtful. Look at this dark ash card, this card is you. Shouldn't it be white? Are you gonna let it blacken?

Hear that! Ayato who has blackened the color of this card, a person like yourself does not deserve to befriend him with his rigid and arrogant attitude. So many are willing to be your loyal friends, isn't it good that you're the boss among them? Instead of being seen as babu Ayato!”

Irvin hissed holding back the emotions that existed in his feelings that now felt cold hot. His doubts were indeed huge and always wanted to shift his sense of trust and confidence in his initial decision that had promised to remain beside Ayato no matter what the circumstances were.

He furrowed his brows then shook his head as loud as possible to brush off any whispers from his sense. No, rather Irvin knows for sure the arrival of his sense is just an illusion. Therefore, Irvin set all his doubts that hang the real thing into a chest and close it tightly. There can be no more doubt. He just didn't adapt enough, this time the doubt won't be heard again.

You know, he helped me, took care of my wounds. At that time he asked me where my parents were, I just didn't want to answer them and said that the one who came after me was a bad person. From my statement, until now he did not know that my parents were actually them.

But when Ayato said that tomorrow she would enter the sword class, that's where I intend to escape from both of my parents then join my peers in the sword class and that's why I can become 'People' at the moment,” at length Irvin tells his story.

Irvin let out a long sigh then with a confident face nodding in understanding and smiling knots. “I declined your offer, no matter what people said I looked like Ayato's babu, which obviously they wouldn't know the value of our friendship was more than they thought. I'm sorry and thank you for convincing me of my own decision. He who raised me, I never thought that I would be adept at swinging a sword. Not until I meet him,”.

Without speaking again, Tasiro disappeared from his sight, returning to the thick fog where all the false shadows were gone and the fog dimmed.

Irvin smiled sumringah. “The illusion disappeared, well anyway thank you mist. I love you hahaha,” the candle to himself that without him knowing it turns out someone who is right next to him is now looking at him silly.

“Hei.”

Irvin turned towards his left where the source of the sound was heard. He was shocked to almost jump when he thought one of Ayato's false shadows was still left beside him.

“You're still here? Stay away from me fake Ayato.”

While the original Ayato only shook her head a little, she knew for sure something had happened to her best friend when trapped in the illusion and it involved her figure. Ayato flicked her finger in front of Irvin's face to make him aware if they had returned to the real world.

“Conscious, I'm genuine. Look around you, we can get into that little shack up ahead. But from earlier I did not see father come out or suspicious movements from the hut there it.”

Irvin patted his own cheek. “Ah, I'm sorry Ayato. I thought earlier..”

The sound of applause suddenly rang out in their ears and finally someone emerged from an invisible large wall behind them making his physique invisible.

“Sensei..” exclaim them simultaneously when viewing the original Tasiro.

Tasiro laughs. “Unbelievable, I came here on purpose knowing that you were following me. And this shack is my goal. So since you guys have passed the exam and got to this stage, now what do you guys want?”

“We want... Eumm,” Ayato hanged his words for hesitating to state directly when their plan had been discovered and according to him this reckless act was very embarrassing in front of the teacher as well as his father.

Irvin just flirting with Ayato made Tasiro very sure that they intended to commit a criminal act so it was difficult to say.

“There is no need to doubt, have you not believed in yourself? Say, you guys are not caught, because I knew your intentions from the beginning.”

Ayato let out her breath in. “We want to take the key from dad's room.”
