Chapter 13: The Silencer
Night covered the land.
Sissel peeled off a copy of Sequence 9's extraordinary properties from his body and handed it to Foxie, who was nervous in front of him.
It was a black, dull, jelly-like sphere, and Flcy swallowed.
"Take it, and you can become an extraordinary extraordinary, the 'extraordinary' of the extraordinary."
Sissel's demagogic voice continued to echo in Foxy's ears, and she hesitated, then took over the extraordinary trait.
Phew, hoo, Flsy, don't panic...... Don't panic...... The gentleman is still here, and nothing will happen......
Fluse soothed herself, the corners of her mouth grinning and the scales on her face as she swallowed the extraordinary trait in one gulp.
The sky swirled, and the boundless darkness enveloped Foxie, making her feel suffocated in her soul.
Her legs began to ache again, and her face, grieving from pain, kept twitching.
It was as if there were cold and dark tentacles around her fragile neck, getting tighter and tighter, and she felt the suffocation of her body again.
She barely opened her eyes, and everything in them had changed color, red to green, blue to yellow, white to black...... Chaotic and distorted.
"Smack-"
Sissel snapped his fingers so loudly that Foxie collapsed to the ground in relief.
"Now, I'm here to teach you 'meditation'. You need to think of something common and simple that will help you calm your mind. β
Foxie nodded, sketching a book without a book jacket in her head, imagining what it would look like when it flipped over.
"Okay, let's fantasize about something that doesn't exist in the world......"
Something that doesn't exist? Foxie didn't know what to think about for a while, so Sissel had to remind:
"Like, a ball of light? A hairy blue tentacle? β
A ball of light...... Photosphere......
Floxy muttered the word in her mind.
It didn't take long for Fluffie to open her eyes, which were full of dark green with an unknown charm, and if you looked closely, you could see that there were still wisps of inky silk hidden in the green.
Sissel looked at her kindly, smiled and congratulated:
"Congratulations, Miss Silencer."
Flice's face suddenly flushed, she whispered a thank you, and asked expectantly:
"'The Silencer'? Is this the name of our pathway? β
Sissel looked at her, laughed again inexplicably, and said:
"Yes, Sequence 9 'The Silencer', not only does it enhance your occult talents, but you can also regulate your presence on your own, and you can reduce the sounds you make for a short time, like a cat walking in the night."
"The way to play is to be a quiet, neutral being, so as to look down on everything and understand the true meaning of 'silence'...... You should know how to play, right? β
Fluffie nodded quickly, she was so pleased with her abilities! She couldn't wait to try it! But the gentleman is still here...... No, bear with it, bear with it.
"Hehe, I won't bother you. Have a good night's sleep and good night. β
"Good night, sir!"
β¦β¦
On the new day, Sissel woke up early.
When he got downstairs, he saw Fluffie busy, and Momo flying around.
"Momo, come here."
Sissel beckoned Momo, and Foxie also looked over and said with a smile:
"Good morning, sir!"
"Good morning, you don't have to prepare me for breakfast today."
"Okay."
Sissel picked up the gray scarf from the hanger and wrapped it around his neck, and after putting the not very comfortable Momo on his shoulder, he left for Hoy University.
Walking on the road, Sissel bought a breakfast, ate it as he walked, and asked vaguely to Momo:
"How? Have you found your anchor? β
"Goo-goo!" Got it! I think it's pretty much there!
Momo's eyes sparkled as he looked at Sissel, expecting his complimentβ
"Well done." Sissell graciously chewed the food in his mouth, "You should be able to advance to Sequence 3 in a few moments...... But you'll still have to prepare for the ceremony. β
"Goo-goo!"
As he spoke, he arrived.
Sissel stood in the doorway and watched the lively scene when three students approached.
"Ahh Professor Sissel! Are you back? β
The first thing that noticed him was a petite girl named Naya, who did not do well in his class.
"Huh? Professor Sissel! Long time no see! β
This is the slightly chubby Welch McGovern, and next to him is Klein Moretti with a complicated face.
"Hello, long time no see."
Sissel smiled and waved at them, keeping his attention on Crane.
Crane calmed down his mood and tried to forget the bad memories of the vampire before, and said to Sissel:
"Teacher, I have finished reading the book you borrowed me, thank you for your generosity. I think I'll be able to pay you back tomorrow. β
"It's okay, it's okay."
Sissel chatted with them a few more times, then stepped into the campus and walked briskly into his office to prepare for class.
β¦β¦
After a busy day, when he got home, Sissel didn't see Leonard, so he asked Foxie:
"Foxie, did you see Leonard?"
"Huh? It seems to be ...... Went to work? β
Fluse tried to remember, and Sissel thought about it, she must have gone to work for the "Black Thorn Security Company". He waved his hand, interrupting Foxie, who was still reminiscing.
"It's okay, he's grown up. How did you play? β
"Ah, sir, you taught me how to play, so it's pretty easy......"
Flisie playfully stuck out her tongue, apparently pleased with the progress of her digestion.
"Well, work harder."
Sissel habitually encouraged, then hugged the little fat chirp Momo off his shoulder, and said:
"Let's get acquainted again, Momo, 'The Silencer' Pathway Sequence 4 'Scholar of the Absurd'."
In Fuxi's surprised gaze, Momo proudly puffed up her small chest, and then let out a "cooing" sound, using her "absurd" ability.
I saw that the bright candle flame on the table suddenly swelled and increased, like a demon in flames, until it enveloped the entire table.
Fluffie was taken aback by the sudden change and hurriedly tried to get water to extinguish the fire.
"No, Flexie."
Sissel chuckled under his breath and explained:
"This is one of the manifestations of the ability of the 'absurd scholar' - 'absurd'."
With that, he reached out and touched the flames, but felt nothing.
-- The illusion of perfection.
"See, it's just an illusion."
Foxie breathed a sigh of relief, but Sissel's tone changed:
"Sometimes, however, it's not necessarily an illusion."
Scold!
Tongues of fire greedily devoured the innocent table, and it didn't take long for it to burn through the entire table under Foxie's incredulous gaze.
"This ......," Foxie exclaimed.
"False is true, true is false......"
Sissel snapped his fingers, and a mist of time appeared out of thin air, enveloping him, Momo, and Flosis.
In the next second, they were teleported from their cozy homes to the wilderness.
There was nothing else around with tender shallow grass and some ice that had not completely melted.
Flexie didn't know much, but she didn't ask, but looked at the tall Sissel.
"Look, Flosis." The corners of Sissel's mouth curled.
Syllable!
The curtain of the dreary night was torn open by a large, invisible hand, and the day came early.
The shallow grass at your feet is in full bloom, and delicate flowers are blooming. The earth cracked, and clouds of black mist rose from it, flew into the sky, and ......
Boom!
Gone.
The light shone on the earth, and the beautiful scenery in front of her actually made Foxie stunned, and she almost couldn't hold back her tears.
Mr. Sissel...... What a strong and friendly nice guy...... Oh no, it's there! Powerful and friendly presence!
