126. Exposed?
“Don’t blame us. Yesterday, the magic club was dealing with Sophia together. Forget about you two. I see you as the blood race’s lackeys, what elves and humans.”
“That’s because Guang needs to be treated. We’ve already asked for leave.”
Aurora explained desperately.
The students standing behind threw stones with magic attributes at them.
Aurora subconsciously curled up.
“Two wild children, farewell.”
After mocking the two again, these students immediately fled.
Aurora first checked on Guang’s condition and discovered that her face had been scratched by a stone again, and was bleeding.
“Damn it, I’ll kill them.”
“No need.”
Guang pulled on Aurora’s sleeve and shook her head.
“So troublesome.”
Aurora crossed her arms and sat down again. After her anger had subsided, she was dejected, clearly also greatly affected.
Then, the two stood up and walked towards the school building.
Reina had originally thought they were going back to the dormitory. What were they doing in the school building?
Following them to their destination, Reina finally realized that they were not going to the school building, but to a basement near a stall on the road.
There was no hiding place in the basement. Reina and Calysia had no choice but to use magic to disguise themselves. At this point, Aurora had already been discovered, and there was no need to continue to hide cautiously.
The basement was only 40 square meters in size.
Reina and Calysia were in a corner, and they had just found a foothold.
Looking closely, she discovered that this was actually Guang’s residence.
Guang couldn’t even afford a dormitory.
This school seemed to be the last refuge in a world at war.
The environment was actually not messy, and it even looked a little comfortable?
The bedroom, bathroom, and kitchen were actually arranged in such a narrow space.
After returning home, Guang took off her school uniform, revealing a vest. Her fair wrists were actually wrapped in bandages, with all sorts of wounds inside. She knelt on a place that could barely be called a bed, and then leaned against the wall, hugging a patched pillow.
“I’ll bring the alcohol and bandages over in a little while, but I have to ask my roommate if it’s okay…”
“Thank you. By the way, Aurora.”
“What is it?”
“Your roommate will probably also cause you trouble.”
“…”
“I want to kill her.”
Guang shook her head: “In the past, you were just too impulsive, you challenged your older sister, and then you were caught and exiled from the family.”
“…”
As expected, hearing these words, Aurora’s mood became very bad.
“Yes, I shouldn’t have been so impulsive. But I also couldn’t bear it at all. The elven race was actually so excessive, just because of a scar on the back of my neck, they called me a child of a curse… You don’t have to feel sorry for me, Guang. Even if I don’t resist, the ending won’t change at all.”
But Guang looked up and, while wiping the wound on her face with the new handkerchief Aurora had given her, she said with a smile:
“Aurora, didn’t we have an agreement? We must stand at the top of the world.”
“When you become the Elven King, you can do whatever you want.”
Hearing Guang’s words, a ripple appeared on Aurora’s gloomy face, and she laughed.
“Dummy, I got my test results last time.”
“What?” Guang tilted her head.
“I didn’t get into the priesthood. I’m sorry, otherwise I could have taken you away from this broken place.”
An elven priest was a decent official position in the elven race.
“Your score should be enough. You have the best chance.”
“…”
Aurora opened her mouth, but she didn’t know what to say.
For a moment, Guang also understood.
After a long time, she finally explained:
“Guang, this world doesn’t need us. It naturally won’t let us go,” Aurora looked at Guang with particularly serious eyes. “Maybe, not long… we’ll both die…”
“Is that so… it’s okay, Aurora. Do you see me as a friend?”
“Eh?” Aurora was dazed.
“Of course I do. It’s been over a year.”
“As long as we’re still friends, I’ll always help you.”
Aurora immediately turned around and wiped her eyes with her arm. From Reina’s perspective, she was crying, and she was crying a lot.
After standing for three minutes, Aurora finally asked:
“Aren’t you afraid that I’ll betray you like your former friends?”
Then, Aurora sat down again and began to comb Guang’s hair, and also put on the hairpin that had fallen on the floor.
“If I were you, I definitely wouldn’t have been able to persevere.”
Aurora stared at the wound on Guang’s arm.
“…”
Guang shook her head, not caring at all.
“You’ll die one day like this. I don’t know how you can persevere.”
Guang shook her head:
“Just give me some time. These sacrifices are all worth it.”
At this moment, Reina, who was listening from a distance, was suddenly startled. She was trying to read the part of the memory that had been taken back by Aurora.
“I believe that the surface of the world is just a manifestation of the [truth]. You and I are both like this.”
“If I can find the [truth] and create a [truth formula], any problem can be solved in the simplest way.”
Hearing this, Reina’s eyes widened. Now, perhaps only by facing her former self could she alleviate her anger.
“Are you a dummy? How could that kind of thing possibly succeed?”
“Sooner or later.”
“I… I can understand you. After all, you grew up in that kind of environment and would think of this… I believe you.”
Guang, hearing Aurora’s words, her mood became better.
“Thank you.”
“We will all stand at the top of the world.”
After bidding farewell to Aurora and discovering that the other had already gone far, Reina immediately appeared in front of Guang. The air was so cold that one couldn’t help but shiver.
She didn’t hide herself. Her long azure hair was scattered, a cross appeared at the bottom of her eyes, and her tail disappeared… This was Reina’s appearance during the Era of the Goddess of Light.
Guang rubbed her eyes and was stunned.
“You’re a liar, Guang.”
“Who are you?”
“I am the person you now look up to.”
“…”
Guang spent a few seconds thinking about this question.
Then she answered, “Are you the future me?”
“Yes, my authority is [time and space]. I’ve come back to find you now.”
“Ah…”
Since it was her future self, she must know many things she didn’t know.
“Seeing my appearance, do you feel that your wish has been fulfilled, but what about the price?”
“Do you really believe in your own set of truths? Guang, you’re not helping Aurora at all. If you wanted to, the people around her would cease to exist.”
“If she had gotten into the priesthood, her life would have been peaceful, away from war, but I know that’s not the ending you want to see. What you want is just her help.”
“You’ve taken a liking to her value.”
“…”
The future self would understand more. Guang knew this.
But she was very wronged now.
“I… I didn’t consider so much. I really didn’t.”
She shook her head desperately.
Seeing the face that was identical to her own, showing such a pained and desperate expression, a deep resonance made it almost impossible for Reina to control her own emotions.
