It's a pure white world.

Front and back, left and right, up and down, without a trace of color. Owen walked between the pure white.

He had just broken the illusion about Marn, and before he could take a second look at the real world, he was thrown into a new illusion.

Unlike Auguston and Marn's two earth-shattering lives, when Owen opened his eyes, he didn't come to the life of a third person. After experiencing the phantom journey of the two people, Owen had probably figured out the structure of the phantom magic that trapped him, and did a little "trick" at the moment when his consciousness was dragged into the illusion.

At this point, he should be caught between fantasy and reality: a lost world.

Owen stopped. There is no point in continuing to wander aimlessly. He avoided the illusion that the strange vine wanted him to see, so Owen could leave this pure white world at any time, but he chose to stay, although doing so would bring great danger to himself, because in this lost pure white world, Owen's self-consciousness will be lost little by little with the passage of time, and if he can't find the key point to support this pure white world as soon as possible, Owen's consciousness will be lost forever in the gap between reality and illusion.

But what exactly is this so-called "key point" and where is it?

"Ray!"

Owen grasped the little consciousness that was almost lost: the only purpose for which he came into this world. That was to find his friend - Ray.

If the white world he is in now is the deepest part of Ray's state of mind, then what supports this world is also Ray's lost consciousness.

Since this is the case, it is useless to look for it with the naked eye. Owen simply closed his eyes and concentrated his attention, imagining Thunder's appearance, voice, and demeanor...... Owen's memories are fading little by little, but all the fragments of Ray are stubbornly grasped, locked, and pieced together into a complete picture.

Distance is meaningless, and in a lost world made up of remnants of Ray's consciousness, as long as the consciousness of Ray can be fixed, Ray himself can be seen. When Owen opened his eyes, he found a little boy curled up, his hands on his knees, his head buried in his thighs, escaping and fearing the world.

"Ray. Found you. Owen walked up and called his friend's name.

The little boy in front of him was not the brave and fearless young hero with guns and armor that Owen was familiar with before the last time they separated, but the frail and bullied child in Serre Village back then.

"Don't come near me. The child's Ray rebuffed Owen's offer, "Please, Owen, leave, don't see this again." ”

The great wheel of time continues to advance for more than a thousand years.

In the aristocratic college of Nuo University, the aristocratic students and teachers of the college are constantly shuttling back and forth in the corridor. However, in a dark corner of the corridor that no one usually comes, there is a confused shell curled up.

"Huh, you're here. A little girl's voice came in from outside the corner.

The little boy opened his eyes slightly, looked on the ground, and saw only a pair of small pink shoes embroidered with butterflies.

"Mr. Donner's sword class is about to start, and you haven't gone to class yet. If Mr. Donner knows it, he will be deducted credits. ”

The little girl pushed the little boy's hand forward.

But the little boy didn't appreciate it, he just pinned his body a little to one side.

"What's wrong with you, Califin. Rocco, how many of them are bullying you again, right?"

Originally, it was just a caring inquiry from the little girl, but the word "bullying" deeply hurt the self-esteem of this little boy named "Califin". He hugged his knees tighter.

"Califin......" The little girl also squatted down and approached the little boy closely.

But Calivan still didn't appreciate it, and he turned his body in the other direction, avoiding eye contact with the little girl.

"What are you running away from? I overcame all obstacles to find you, and you are such a virtuous person. Owen frowned.

"Leave me alone. Ray softly spat out the words.

"Ray, you're not going to just give up, are you?"

"Give up, give up. Owen, you don't think you found me. ”

"Alas......"

Owen let out a long sigh. Although he had already realized that after a series of changes, the Ray he could touch must have changed compared to before, Owen did not expect Ray to be depressed like this.

In the world today, the most powerful of the twelve secular powers of the Holy Light Cult is the Fayale Empire, which rules the middle of the Glorious Continent. However, more than 200 years ago, the Fayele Empire had not yet been established, and the central part of the Brilliant Continent was divided into more than a dozen warring principalities.

The years of war forced these small principalities to establish a complete system of war colleges, as well as a strong people. After the combination of the two, one of the negative effects is that the campus violence is extremely serious, especially in military academies with a majority of children of nobles. In order to keep the students bloody, the school adopts a blind and closed attitude towards violent fights between students, and as long as there are no serious consequences, ordinary brawl teachers will not intervene. Because there is a common concept among these small principalities: the weak deserve to be bullied, and it is shameless to seek foreign help after being bullied. For this reason, the military academies of these small principalities eliminate a group of the weakest students every year in order to enhance the sense of competition among students.

And among these small principalities, the Duchy of Brayden, which has the most powerful army, takes this idea to the extreme.

And so there is what Calivin Snowton experienced not so long ago.

Wiping the blood from the corners of his mouth, and slightly raising his swollen eyes, Garivan only dared to look at the little girl's hands, but did not dare to look at her face, and then he said in a voice as thin as a gnat, "Princess Monica, you go." ”

"What did you say?" the little girl frowned.

"Don't come near me anymore. Anyway...... Anyway, I'm a defective product who will be kicked out of school sooner or later. ”

"You ......" the little girl named "Monica" was so angry that Calivin's words of self-abandonment were flushed.

"What stupid are you talking about!"

Owen, who has always been calm, suddenly made a move, grabbed Ray's collar like a child, and lifted him up.

"Califin, you idiot!"

The dignified Princess Monica cried, and she ripped off the pearl necklace around her neck and threw it at Calivin.
