Chapter 384 "I'll Promise"
Chapter 384 "I'll Promise"
"Yalinxiu...?"
"Hello, Nono~"
Yalinxiu did not avoid Norvia's surprised gaze. Its gray hair had grown to its waist, and its eyes were as clear as water. Norvia found that Yalinxiu's growth slowed down after a certain period of time.
Although Yalinxiu's height grew slowly, she became independent very quickly. She had her own hobbies, her own social circle and things she wanted to do.
This is what Norvia wanted for Yalinxiu, but when it actually happened, she was a little conflicted like Elliott. She was happy for Yalinxiu's independence and socialization, but she was also uncomfortable with the possibility that she might not be needed.
Maybe it's not that Yalinxiu needs them, but that they need Yalinxiu.
"Nono, I skipped class today."
Yalinxiu did not avoid the reason why it appeared in Teacher Abel's office. It no longer used a soft voice to act like a spoiled child, and no longer referred to itself as "Yalinxiu". Its face was as calm as...
Like usual Norvia.
"Nono, I suddenly feel very...desperate today."
Yalinxiu thought for a long time before stumbling out the word "despair". There seemed to be a lot of emotions in its eyes.
This was a Yalinxiu that Norvia had never seen before. She knew that the current Yalinxiu might be affected by her emotions. Although she was not desperate.
"Today, I met the teacher I hate recently at school again. I don't like him because he said some harsh words to my classmates. But he pretended to be very good in front of adults. I wanted to expose his true face, but no one believed me... I felt very cold and lonely."
Yalinxiu looked at Norvia seriously.
"But Nono, this is not my emotion. I won't be lonely because you will believe me, and as long as I tell you, you will all come to help me. But I won't say it because I think I have the ability to solve all of this, and I don't want you to worry about me.
This is my secret.”
Yalinxiu reached out and hugged Norvia.
"Nono. I thought for a long time, was it Irene, was it Ellit, was it Dooku... I thought for a long, long time before I realized it was you."
Nolvia hugged Yalinxiu in a daze. She couldn't describe her feelings at the moment.
She disguised herself very well, and as long as she was determined to hide something, she would not fail. But there were cases where she failed even if she wanted to deceive the world. Yalinxiu represented a part of her. Even though Yalinxiu didn't know her secrets and didn't know what her book-traveling represented, Yalinxiu could still sense her guilt, anxiety, and loneliness.
"...Yalinxiu."
Nolvia hugged Yalinxiu tightly.
Yalinxiu looked up and nodded obediently.
"Who is that teacher you hate?"
Norvia's blue eyes are light.
"There shouldn't be people like this in Brown School."
Yalinxiu laughed softly.
"It's okay~ He will be defeated by justice soon!"
Yalinxiu held Norvia's fingers, looked at the mermaid she was holding for a long time, and then shook the mermaid's hand.
"Nono, my existence is proof of everyone's existence. If everyone else is gone, I will still live on, just like you want me to. But my world will not get better. My world will always be sick and broken."
Norvia pursed her lips. Her face looked particularly pale, and her heartache was reflected in her blue eyes like a muddy rain.
"Yalinxiu, I can't guarantee..."
Make sure she wins, make sure she doesn't disappear.
"It's ok."
Yalinxiu touched Norvia's eyes.
"I'll make sure of that."
"Yalinxiu..."
Before Norvia could ask Yalinxiu what this meant, Teacher Abel's voice rang out from behind her.
"Nolvaya, why are you here? Yalinxiu said she was not feeling well and didn't want to go to school, so I took her here. When I came back, something happened at the Time Demon Court, and I forgot to tell you."
Abel asked the mermaid tentatively.
"Is it okay to take half a day off? I asked Yalinxiu to stay in my office. She's safe. I just asked Oub to come over and take Yalinxiu out to play. He's almost here now."
As soon as Abel finished speaking, Oub appeared in Norvia's sight.
Teacher Obu was dressed very luxuriously, and his orange-yellow hair was shiny.
Obu followed Abel's gaze and then saw Norvia. Although he didn't know why Norvia was here, he still asked seriously.
"—Want to go to the amusement park?"
……
Mr. Obu questioned everyone present, but in the end, only Yalinxiu followed him away.
"Nolvaya, what do you want to ask me?"
Abel sighed. She knew the mermaids, and if it wasn't something serious, the mermaids would ask her on the communicator.
So, "You met the evil god again?"
Nolvia was stunned, then shook her head with a helpless look.
"No. Mr. Abel, I want to ask you some questions about time magic."
Abel raised his eyebrows slightly. Norvia never asked useless questions. Norvia asked this because she encountered something related to time magic. In the field of time magic, who dared to bully her student Abel?
Abel's expression turned cold, but his tone towards Nolvia was still friendly and gentle.
"Nolvaya, what do you want to ask?"
“Will the world restart?”
Norvia's white hair was blown by the autumn wind. Leaves fluttered and fell to the ground, making tiny cracking sounds.
Abel took more than ten seconds to understand the meaning of Norvia's words, and then she shook her head.
"Nolvaya, time generally moves forward. Restarting means going backwards, but the current time magic can only make the scene reappear, and it cannot make time go backwards and stop. Even if another three hundred years pass, time magic will not be able to restart the world."
"Is it not possible on a small scale?"
"Of course not. Norvia, if that happens, the Time Mage will be as uncontrollable as the Necromancer. There are some rules in this world that cannot be broken. If they are broken..."
Then there is a gap in this world.
Some logic will be distorted.
Nolvia lowered her eyes in deep thought, but Abel relaxed.
Abel thought someone was using time magic to trouble her students, but now it looks like Norvia is not being bullied.
Abel recalled the rumors he had heard recently and couldn't help but ask Norvia.
"Your new instructor is the rookie teacher of the Wood Magic Court? How is he?"
Norvia came back to her senses, thought about it seriously, and evaluated Garcia objectively.
"He needs help."
Abel frowned.
"Will he cause you any trouble?"
"That depends on what Mr. Valerio is planning."
Nolvia smiled slightly. She looked at Teacher Abel, who was obviously unhappy, and spoke softly.
"Don't worry. Mr. Abel, he doesn't have the ability to hurt us."
"He'd better be like this. I just recently figured out how to strangle the enemy with space magic."
Abel's tone was grim.
This made Norvia laugh. She looked at Abel who was completely on their side and felt that there was always something lovely in this world.
For this reason, she did not regret her time travel, although it was not something she could decide.
She is still fortunate and grateful.
……
After coming out of Teacher Abel's office, Norvia went to the chairman's office.
She now knows that the time magicians in the world cannot restart the world. But there is evidence to prove Gonia's experience.
If Gonia is constantly being reborn, then her mother might also be constantly being reborn. Is the world restarting itself, or is it the mother and Gonia who are driving the world to restart?
Why...does the evil god exist?
Norvia had many questions, but the questions she wanted to ask Teacher Valerio at this moment had little to do with the real questions in her mind.
She wanted to ask the chairman why he let Garcia be their mentor this month. If she accepted Garcia's deal as an irreversible fact, she would do her best.
This is not entirely a help to Garcia. If the war of gods comes slowly, she still has to consider her future work.
