Talia found herself bumping into someone's body. The girl squealed in surprise and almost fell to the ground. Luckily, he managed to balance himself.
“You again. Didn't I tell you not to show your face in front of me again?” a familiar voice sounded reprimanding Talia.
The girl looked up and how surprised she was, finding Kyle standing before her with a cold expression.
“Hey, Kyle! Don't bother women! Forgive my friend, Miss Beautiful,” a brunette young man suddenly burst out among them: Leo. “Include me, my name is Dean Leopold, he's Kyle Gothe. We're new students at the Academy. What is the name of this Beautiful Miss?”
Whahuh? Why did he suddenly bump into Kyle and Leo suddenly introduced himself. Talia was convinced that she had just been inside the dragon cave, dying and wounded. The girl hurriedly looked at her own body. He is now healthy and fit. There were no injuries on his body. After that Talia tried to sweep her gaze around. He was on the academy grounds, along with hundreds of other students. They were lined up as if they were waiting for the welcoming ceremony of the new students.
What the hell's going on? Why does he feel he has experienced this?
“Halo. Missy? Are you okay?” Leopold waved his hand in front of Talia's face.
“Ah, yes. Me ...” Talia's sentence was cut. He doesn't know if he's okay or not. This situation still confused him.
“Em, do you mind getting acquainted with us?” Leopold asked again. It's getting Talia confused.
“Talia. Talia Ortega,” Talia replied hesitantly.
Leopold looked carefree. He continued to smile at Talia while clasping his arm around Kyle's shoulder.
“It's nice to meet you,Lady Ortega. Hopefully we are in the same class, yes,” said Leopold lightly.
Talia really doesn't understand. Did he repeat time? Clearly he had used the red crystal to return to his father's place. But why is he here now.
“Sorry, are we going to hold a welcoming ceremony?” tanya Talia tried to make sure.
Leo seemed to furrow both of his eyebrows in surprise. “Of course. Why else would we be here if not for the welcoming ceremony?” he shrugged his shoulders.
Talia could only snort in disbelief. So it really goes back to the past. He glanced at Kyle once more, making sure that the young man did not recognize him. Kyle looked at Talia with an unpredictable expression. A few seconds later, Kyle's tears suddenly trickled down without warning. Both Talia, Kyle and Leo were shocked by the rare phenomenon.
“Hei, Kyle? You why? You ... crying?” ask Leo shock.
Kyle hurriedly rubbed his face in confusion as well. There was so much confusion that morning. “Ah .. I .. no. It looks like dust has entered my eyes. Never mind, let go of me,” said Kyle ketus while breaking away from the embrace of Leo.
The young man then let go, leaving Talia who was still filled with question marks.
The welcoming ceremony of the new students went exactly the same as Talia had experienced. He followed the entire series of events with still feeling astonished at the incident. Did his father's crystal fail? More than that, Talia finally survived the dragon attack. He is alive, healthy and able to continue his life in peace, as if all his experience for months was just a dream, or just a vision as usual.
After the welcoming ceremony was over, Talia entered her class. It was exactly the same thing he had experienced before. Kyle was sitting next to Talia like before. The young man's attitude was so cold and indifferent. Different from Kyle who is usually gentle and attentive to Talia. Kyle acted as if they had just met that day.
This certainly confirms Talia's assumption that he has returned to the past. After this, Talia promised herself to find out about the red crystal from her father. Is there really a magic that returns people from the dead, and throws them into the past.
Unfortunately, Talia's plan to go to the library that day must also be blocked. When the class was over, Kyle suddenly blocked his path and stood before Talia with an aura of intimidation.
“Follow me,” says Kyle ketus.
Talia according. He followed Kyle towards the deserted area behind the Academy building. The girl wondered all the way. Could Kyle also be experiencing time repetition? So why was the young man so snubbed at Talia? Was he just pretending? Various questions colored Talia's mind. But he did not dare to throw it now, because he did not fully understand the situation.
After arriving at a quiet place, Kyle finally stopped his steps. The two turned around and looked at Talia seriously.
“Who are you really? Are you the one sent by Rubena?” cecar Kyle is cold,
Talia learns that Rubena Bellea is the name of Kyle's stepmother. The Duchess, who has now changed her name to Rubena Gothe, is a man whom Kyle hates. Several times Kyle's stepmother has tried to kill him, just like Ludwig. But why is Kyle now suddenly accusing him of being the delivery man of his stepmother?
“What do you mean? Of course it wasn't. I don't know Duchess Gothe at all,” Talia replied impatiently.
“Lantas why am I like this? What magic did you do to me? Say,” snapped Kyle furiously.
“Magic? Look, I don't understand what you're saying at all. I have done absolutely nothing to you,” Sergah Talia is no less upset. He himself still has an unsolved problem and now suddenly Kyle was just following along acting strangely.
“Do not dodge, Ortega. You're obviously reflecting on me. Or is it poison? Why does my heart hurt so much every time I see you? Why do my tears feel like they want to keep flowing because of the pain every time they are near you? What did you do to me?” Kyle kept pushing Talia. Now his expression was no longer angry, but desperate.
Talia stunned. Kyle does not remember the times of their closeness. But somehow the young man's heart seemed to feel something between them. Did Talia really go back in time alone? Or was there a part of Kyle that was thrown into the past?
“I ... have absolutely no idea what you're saying, Lord Gothe. Ki, we just met today for the first time. Your words make absolutely no sense,” Talia said stammered. His heart ached considering how he and Kyle had become best friends. The fate of both of them is tragic because of Ludwig. All of those memories suddenly appeared and made Talia's tears almost drip as well.
Hurriedly the girl turned around about to leave Kyle. But his arm was suddenly firmly gripped by the young man. Talia jumped in shock and automatically tried to escape before she saw the future again. Surprisingly, Talia had seen nothing at all. He was still where he stood with Kyle.
“You think I'll believe it? I've suspected you since we met in the woods. You can't hide your bad intentions at all, Ortega,” growled Kyle intimidates.
Talia breathed a tired sigh. His memories of meeting Kyle in the forest reappear. It's been a long time since that happened.
“It's up to you to think what it's like. I had absolutely nothing to do with the people you were referring to,” as Talia decided to follow Kyle's game. He better keep pretending he doesn't know Kyle.
“Do not dodge. All right, if you don't want to confess now. But I'll keep an eye on you, Ortega. Don't expect you to drop me,” Kyle said seriously.
The young man then released his grip while slightly pushing Talia's body. Talia was pushed to the side firmly, but managed to balance herself. He watches over Kyle's back, which now leaves him alone.
“Wah, how could I have approached such a man,” Talia muttered as she stroked her arm that was throbbing pain from Kyle's grip. The pain seemed to tell Talia that her current experience was indeed a reality, not just a dream.
“But before that. I have to make sure of things now. If Kyle doesn't recognize me, I better not try to approach him like before. Because of me, Kyle ... ,” Talia sighed grimly. He recalls how Kyle was consumed by his own darkness while protecting him. If it turns out that the trigger that makes Kyle turned into a criminal is himself, then on this occasion Talia chose not to know Kyle anymore. They both should be strangers.
“Yes. That's better,” Talia said grimly.
The girl finally decided to continue her plan to go to the library. He must find a reasonable reason why he can go back to the past. In addition, Talia also wanted to sort her thoughts in order to be calmer. A lot has happened in my previous life. And since the universe has given her a second chance, Talia should be able to make the most of it.
