"Wake up"

Katharine said when Rio didn't reply or opened his eyes after she called him a few times.

The speech from the professor was over and everyone was told to move towards the teleportation circle to leave this world, but he was still left asleep in a corner.

"Wake up" She said again, as she contemplated if she should just leave him here and go, just like his sister and that princess friend.

But looking at the now empty hall, she decided to give it a final try.

"It's not too late, wake up." She said and shouted at the end of her sentence as she shook his shoulders with her hands.

Yet her simple sentence triggered another piece of memory which appeared in Rio's mind at this time.

It was like someone tapped the fast forward button and stopped a movie right before the climax..

Kajal stood in front of him, tears flowing down her eyes as she grabbed his shoulders and begged him to stop.

"It's not too late, shiva. Please stop it. Wake up from this madness." Her words choked as she tried to speak. Her hands were shaking as she looked at the familiar face with teary eyes.

The room they were in was well decorated and spoke of its richness, but at this moment its walls were painted with blood, and bodies of several men were thrown here and there lifeless. The pungent smell of blood and heavy taste of iron was wafting her senses with every breath, making her nauseous.

Shiva hesitated for a moment as he met her crying gaze, but then his eyes landed on the large photo of a smiling young man behind her, and his heart turned cold again.

He looked at Kajal with cold eyes and then glanced at his bloodied hands holding a sharp dagger tightly.

"This isn't you, shiva. You can let go _ " Kajal tried to speak but he stopped her midway.

"It is too late for this one, Kaj. Maybe in the next life." Shiva said as he raised his hands and moved forward.

[Wake up.]

Rio finally got out of his dreams, as the system's voice echoed in his mind. Sending a wave of pain like a electric shock passed through all his nerves.

He opened his eyes to see Katherine struggling to break free from his hand which grabbed her neck and pinned her to a wall, while his other hand had a sword drawn near her neck. Just about to stab it through.

When he reached the teleportation circle most of his class was already teleported out, and only two or three groups were left.

One such group, which contained Saisha in it.

Rio looked at her for some time and then turned away and stood on the stage.

When he appeared outside again, it was the same academy and same environment. He wasn't in the mood to do anything, so he directly used his mana and entered the spatial portal that appeared in front of him.

"See, that guy left without even looking for us." Rebecca said as she looked at that disappearing figure. They've been waiting here for a while but he just ran away.

"Maybe he's angry that you two left him there sleeping and came out alone." Ayla said with a teasing tone.

"She was the one who dragged me. It's all your fault." Amelia said pointing at Rebecca and then blamed her.

Rebecca looked at this shady teampartner who was quite happy imagining the scene where Rio would wake an hour or two later and get scolded or something, but now blamed her for everything. "Let's go to the canteen, I'm hungry after all this time."

"Yeah, but you're paying." Amelia said with a smile and followed her. While Rebecca just shook her head seeing this stingy foodie.

On the other hand, Rio appeared inside a garden. (Same place where he last met with Lisa.)

"What's your excuse this time?" He coldly said.

[Host, I can't control your mind.] System spoke patiently, trying to calm this raging host. [They're your memories, I can't do anything if you remember them in your dreams.]

"What about her?" Rio said, mentioning Kajal "I had forgotten her. I didn't remember her. Then why? What happened?"

[As I told you before host, the memories about that girl were something you locked yourself and tried to forget subconsciously. Maybe something triggered it today or maybe your mind just thinks you're ready to handle them now.]

"But _ "

[It's just like a kid forgetting the pain of his fall down the stairs for weeks after his accident, and then remembering it years later and just smiling about it. It's natural host. And there's no potion or pill that can fix it.] System explained its understanding and tried to reason but Rio just kept silent hearing it.

'Useless as ever then..' He cursed in his heart and closed the system panel.

System too knew he didn't mean it and there wasn't any point in arguing with him for pride, as he'd himself calm down with some time and say sorry for his outburst. So it let this insult go.

'Kajal huh, my friend.' Rio muttered in his heart as scenes of him and kajal at the school and college life appeared in his mind again and he just sighed.

"Some memories really are worse than my nightmares." Rio said as the scenes of his happy life with Shweta at the beginning played in his mind, which ended up with the image of Nashi laughing at him.
