" A mirror ?"
Kailen stood in a large space before a gigantic mirror.
He tried to peer through the void, yet his effort proved futile.
The only thing he could see was the large mirror.
As Kailen stared at his reflection in the mirror, an expression of contempt appeared on the image’s face.
" This..." Kailen was surprised " When did I make that expression?"
Before Kailen could process what was going on, the image ,his reflection, raised it’s middle figure ,boasting a maniacal grin on it’s face.
"Huh. I see.Clearly this is not my reflection in the mirror. A reflection is supposed to mimick the movements of the actual object, and yet this fellow is doing the opposite "
Suddenly, the reflection of Kailen in the mirror started to speak " You are the reason why they died. You useless piece of trash.
So what if you are strong now? It’s not like you can bring them back. Atone for their deaths by killing yourself. You murderer"
The words spoken by the reflection of Kailen in the mirror struck him like a lightning bolt,carrying some sort of controlling power.
It was as if the moment Kailen heard those words , the words had some sort of charm and control that was manipulating his will to start believing what the reflection was saying.
This was not a matter of being convinced by the words of the reflection in the mirror , this was something akin to Kailen being mind controlled or something.
A motion of Kailen’s parents , a dark haired man with blood tracing down his mouth ,and that of a white skinned woman, a velvet haired beauty with blood gushing out of her neck, appeared in the mirror.
The two individuals looked at Kailen with contempt "We died because of you! We died because of you!. Had we not decided to go to New York City because of you, we would not have died "
Kailen stared panting , then started mumbling to himself " I killed them, I’m the reason why they died.. I should kill myself"
" Yes you killed them. You killed mum and dad, you bastard. You killed them, you little shit!"
Kailen’s eyes were turning blood shot ,as blood was spewing out of his ears and mouth. His skin turned deathly pale. And his breathing grew ragged.
" Look at your hands , their blood is on your hands "
Kailen under the manipulative spell or whatever you’d call it ,of the reflection, stared at his hands ,drenched in cold blood.
" What the hell is happening to me?"
[ Snap the hell out of it. It’s mind control. Remember that you said you will stop blaming yourself for the death of your parents, and honor their graves by becoming strong enough to terrorise the diabolic beasts that killed them. Remember that it is not your fault. They died because of those diabolic beasts!]
Kailen eyes widened, his breathing calming down . The time dilation artifact’s words seemed to have some sort of calming impact on him, serving as some sort of some redemptive element that snapped him out of the mind control.
The mirror along with this reflection, his parents accusing him of their deaths, the blood oozing out of his orifices and his blood stained hands, the paleness of his complexion, dissapeared.
" That was terrifying !. I didn’t even realize how I lost control of my self . The tenth level of the university tower is extremely terrifying!".
[ In the vast universe ,there is a race called the Spectral race. They have a naturally have a knack to awakening mind control and illusion related affinities. What you just experienced is nothing compared to the monstrousity of those beings.
It’s a good thing that the Spectral race have decided to use their power for good, else, the Universe Alliance would have really payed a huge price to deal with them]
Kailen was shocked at the time Dilation artifact’s words. There were indeed awakeners on earth who awakened the illusion affinity. However mind control was something he was not sure existed on the planet .
And to think what he had just experienced was nothing compared the monstousity of this spectral race?
[ What you just experienced was S ranked mind control affinity mixed with some illusions. The tower AI really has outdone itself this time. I gotta say, this Helena Hall is really smart. To be able to create such a monstrous algorithm for this university tower , with the limited resources of such a backwater planet is really something she should be proud of. If she was born into some extremely advanced civilization, I am sure her intelligence would really cause her to shine ]
Kailen listened to the time Dilation Artifact, shocked.
" Universe Alliance? Earth , a backwater planet?, advanced civilization?"
[ Dont bother about those things now. You are not even really to travel the universe yet so focus on what you can now. Tsk]
" Alright. Thanks to the time dilation artifact’s power I was able to break out of the mind control .Thank you syst- err time dilation artifact."
[Tsk!]
Kailen shook his head . This time dilation artifact really was a tsundere " However it seems Helena Hall is extremely intelligent, even the time dilation artifact couldn’t help but praise her. Anyway, why is the AI notification for completing the trial taking so long "
Just when Kailen spoke , a notification appeared before him.
[Congratulations for clearing the university tower throughout in difficulty mode in 45 minutes Kailen Darkhaven.
You have set a record.
Your name has been recorded on the university tower’s hall of fame.
You are ranked number 1 on the university tower’s hall of fame.
You have received 1 million student credits for this achievement.
Would you like to leave or challenge the tower again?]
"See credddddddddddits. At this point I’m stop the Gorbes list of this university.
I wonder how many students credits I’ll have after the assistant instructor’s exams" A greedy expression appeared on Kailen’s face.
[ You are helpless . Tsk!. Just what are you gonna use all these students credits for?]
" Make more money . I intend to put my basic potion knowledge to good use" Kailen replied the Time Dilation Artifact An idea brewed in Kailen’s mind. There was no way he was gonna let his potion knowledge go to waste,especially when he had plans to target Skybruff’s potion business in the capital city. He didn’t have any particular plans to create a business empire or anything. However he had to make some use of the potion knowledge he had earned from the time dilation artifact, and utilizing it for revenge ,was the most perfect delicacy. Not only was Kailen planning to get Rigbruff expelled from the university, he also had plans of ending him thoroughly and making his life a living hell.
"An eye for an eye,a tooth for a tooth" A malicious glint appeared in Kailen’s eyes.
"I would like to leave "
[ Virtual reality simulation is ending in 10...5... 4...3..1]
******
Pfft....
The virtual reality cabin opened,as Kailen eyes opened.
He stepped out of the virtual reality cabin, heading for the door.
*****
" The door is opening. Is he coming out?"
Everyone’s eyes was on a young man in a hoodie with black hair and a nonchalant expression, else hands were clad his pockets. ƒreeωebnovel.ƈom
Those from noble families wanted to approach him and invite him to join their families. However the cold ,non chalent expression on his face deterred them from doing so.
He moved towards Arrie, who had donned the usual bubbly expression on her face. She was staring on her phone , seemingly extremely happy about winning the bet for some reason.
" Why is everyone staring at me like that?"
Kailen did not even know that he had caused a stirr by clearing the tower,especially in the difficulty mode in just 45 minutes.
"You cleared the tower in difficulty mode in 45 freaking minutes and you are here asking me why everyone is staring at you?" Arrie shook her head helplessly.
Kailen shrugged " Well I know it’s probably is new achievement . I was informed by the tower AI that it’s a new record. However I thought it’s not too Monstrous, as they may have been other people in the past who have cleared the tower before "
The crowd stared at Kailen with surprised, shocked and incredulous expressions.
Bro, are you really trying to humble brag right now?
" Kailen, not even the current president of the Federation ,was able to clear even the easy mode of the tenth floor when he was on campus . He only managed to clear up to the difficulty mode of ninth floor, and his speed for doing that at the time, considered monstrous, pales in comparison to yours. In other words, you are the first person in the history of Zanpala university to clear the tower, and have also managed to do that in difficulty mode, in 45 minutes . Do you get the situation now ? You are a monster!. Even though I anticipated and made a bet with some fellas that you’d be able to achieve this feat in less than an hour and thirty minutes , I am still completely shocked "
Kailen was quite surprised " I didn’t expect what I did to be an extremely serious deal reaker, however, it seems I was wrong. Anyway , you mentioned something about making a bet with people?"
Arrie nodded, beaming with a smile, gesturing to Kailen to turn towards particular location at the environs. A couple of fellas, males and females were sprawled on the ground with multiple bumps and bruises on the bodies as they kept groaning in pain from time to time.
" I made a bet with them about you finishing clearing the tower in less than hour and thirty minutes,and they lost. However some of them decided to not honor the requirements of losing the bet,so I beat them up and made them honor the bet. Cool right?" Arrie chuckled treating what she had just done as nothing noteworthy.
Kailen chuckled " Interesting . No wonder she is called the Dainty Witch . Her bubbly personality and dainty appearance does not mean she’s not terrifying"
" No wonder they call you the dainty Witch"
" You..."
" Anyway let’s leave. I have to get the A ranked energy orb. Would you like to have some?"
" You mean you are gonna purchase an A ranked energy orb for me?"
" Yeah, aren’t you my friend? Why are you being so emotional"
"Kailen, Don’t tell me you’ve fallen for me"
" Tsk, you are old enough to be my grandma"
The onlookers stared at Arrie with envy. Kailen Darkhaven was gonna purchase an A ranked energy orb for her , just like that?
Most of the ladies wished they were in her position.
The gentlemen too shook their heads. With their strength , even if they completed a million mission s, an A ranked energy orb was not something they could ever afford.
Just when Kailen and Arrie left the venue under the gazes and discussions of the onlookers’ , his phone rung.
