There is no such thing as power in this world that is obtained for no reason, and even the healing magic known as a miracle has a price. The price was that Ulysses slept until it was almost dusk before waking up.

The cost of using the Silver Healing Hand was greater than he had imagined, especially the uninterrupted healing he had unleashed on Yuffie, which had only been a few minutes and had made him as tired as if he had participated in a fierce battle.

Ulysses, who woke up, found that he didn't know when Mr. Fei had left, leaving only a pink piece of paper on the table.

"Thank you. ”

It didn't take too many words, and the invisible connection seemed to be felt between the two of them. Just this sentence let Ulysses know that Teacher Fei has gotten a lot better.

It was wonderful, Ulysses was sincerely happy for the teacher, but he did not notice that there was still a fragrance on his body and lips that did not belong to him, which was the trace of the two of them once hugging each other and sleeping together.

Pushing open the door to the room, Ulysses saw the sky that had gradually darkened. The gentle wind blew the petals of the flower trees planted next to the corridor into the room, adding a sense of warmth to the room.

She must have been angry that she didn't go to class without asking Noah for leave...... Ulysses walked aimlessly down the hallway of the classroom after school and found that there was no one there.

The hallway near dusk gives the impression that reality is beginning to blur, as if you just take a few more steps forward and walk around that corner and you will enter another world.

Ulysses, who had been in a state of self-study, had no real school experience, and it was the first time he had studied with so many people of the same age when he came to this glorious college. (Even though they are all girls), I always feel that there is an incredible charm in a place like school. Everyone is in the same classroom, listening to the teacher's lectures together, thinking about the same problems together, communicating and exploring each other, this special atmosphere is completely different from when he is studying alone.

However, a person also has the advantage of being a person, being free to think about all problems without being bound by anything. And in the Radiant Academy, the thought of being surrounded by cute and beautiful girls made Ulysses feel a little nervous.

Walking around the corner of the hallway, Ulysses suddenly felt a strange chill. This coolness does not come from a drop in temperature, but from a stranger place.

He looked at the end of the hallway, where there was a huge mirror. I don't know who put it there, but in the evening sunlight, the mirror reflected a bleeding light, and a figure dressed in black could be faintly seen standing inside the mirror.

Undoubtedly, that's what he thinks - Ulysses thinks so. Because the person who was facing that mirror had no one else but him.

However, that's not the case.

When the last rays of the setting sun disappeared at the edge of the horizon, the magic lamp that was supposed to turn on automatically was not turned on, and what was even more strange was that the mirror became more visible in the extremely dim light, and the appearance of the black figure inside gradually appeared.

"Huh?" Ulysses rubbed his eyes, if he had seen something wrong. The black shadow in that mirror didn't seem to be the same as his. Could it be that it wasn't him who looked in the mirror, but the people around him?

Ulysses subconsciously turned his head and looked behind him—there was no one, he was the only one in this hallway.

And the moment Ulysses turned his head, the black figure in the mirror began to fluctuate violently like a wave, and then the originally smooth mirror began to appear one after another small cracks.

When the cracks spread all over the mirror like a spider web, the surface of the mirror finally couldn't bear the devastation and shattered with a "click".

Ulysses turned his head again, and all he saw was the shattered mirror, and a few wisps of purple mist floating in the air.

"Strange?" Ulysses walked up to the mirror and found that it seemed to be an ordinary floor-to-ceiling mirror, but now only an outline remained, and the mirror was almost completely shattered.

However, I don't know if it's an illusion, he heard a voice in this mirror.

"Open...... Ah......h

It was a voice that seemed to come from very, very far away, but it seemed so close.

"That'...... Open ......"

Open, open, open the mirror, Ulysses moved closer to the mutilated mirror, trying to discover the truth of the sound.

"Get out of the way, aa

Unfortunately, it was already too late.

"Bang!" a petite figure burst out of the shattered mirror, apparently trying to control her speed, but apparently unsuccessful.

And Ulysses, who was only a centimeter away from the mirror, naturally encountered an irresistible face blow, and his face completely collided with someone who rushed out of the mirror, and for a while, both of their faces had a tendency to develop towards the stupid pie face.

There is no possibility of dodging at all, and he has been in a hundred battles, and even in the battle with the ancient demon god and the legendary powerhouse, he carefully avoided being completely knocked down by the demon king Ulysses who was directly attacked.

"Woooooooo

"Ahem...... If you want to come out, say it early, Ayu. Ulysses, who couldn't even react, smiled wryly at the girl rolling around in front of him with a backpack with angel wings.

It seems that every time I meet her, I am always attacked by her, so is she such an aggressive creature?

"I've said so many times that I've told you to go away! Woo, it hurts, your nose is crooked. Ayu, who rushed out of the mirror, touched his red nose and looked at Ulysses, the culprit of everything, with tears in his eyes.

"I'm sorry, I can't get away. Ulysses raised his hands in surrender.

"Ulysses, you're bullying!" Ayu was clearly not going to accept this level of apology. As a powerful eighth-level powerhouse, she has noble self-esteem and reserve. She will remember this shame and pay it back a hundredfold.

"Here, promise your caraiyaki. Ulysses took out the gift he had bought a long time ago and placed it in the dark dimension, which he had promised to give to Ayu in the first place.

"Wow!" Ayu smiled and forgot all about what had just happened.
