Chapter 311 Ending of the auction event

"System, please tell me you know something?" Shiva said as he appeared in the halls of Eclipse's mansion.

[... I'm sorry, host. But for now, whatever I know about her, you know it too.] System said.

"You told me it was a Primal Law that no one can take their past lives memories with them through soul reincarnation. I was an exception for some unknown reasons as you said. But what about her? Is she too?"

[...]

"At Least tell me your theories or guesses, you're old, and have been through countless planets and plotlines. Tell me what could've caused it. How can she not remember me, or herself, but can still be this aware of her movements, skills and senses."

System thought for some time and finally started to share its theories.

[There can be many reasons for this, like something went wrong in her reincarnation like yours, maybe she held onto her memories or something similar too. But failed in the middle.]

[Or maybe someone helped her a little like 'The Being' did with storing their memories in a crystal.]

[Or maybe she's just... soulless. Primal laws only bind souls, the core form of energy for every being's creation; if she's soulless, then the laws don't apply to her.]

"What do you mean soulless? How can any life exist without a soul?"

[It shouldn't. That's why I said it's just my thoughts and a theory. I've never seen or even heard of anyone who's without a soul.]

"But you did a scan on her, you told me she was perfectly normal."

[She is. I don't know what to tell you, host. You asked for my theories and I told you. As for the truth, maybe only one person can tell.]

"The being?"

[Yes. But he's missing, or offline, or whatever you wanna call it. He won't answer my summons.]

"Did you hear what she said at the end though, about me being one of them, or her killing me again."

[I did, and I know nothing.]

"Don't tell me she's the truck-kun. Cause that's the only time I remember dying." Shiva said jokingly, but the system ignored his jokes and kept on cooking theories in its mind.

"So basically we know nothing about her, great." Shiva said and sighed.

'She brings a headache in every world.' He thought while throwing the cigarette in his hands.

"The whole happiness of finishing the quest went down the drain. What a pain.'Visit no(v)eLb(i)n.com for the best novel reading experience

[Come on. Don't take too much stress over it.] System spoke, trying to cheer up its host. [We atleast know Gaia is gone for sure now. Or she'd be sure to smack your ass with a stick considering how you slapped her avatar on the back and knocked her out.]

"Come on, that was just once. And on instinct. I didn't do it knowingly, okay." Shiva said massaging his head as a soft chuckle came to his lips thinking about all his training classes of earth.

"Let's just go back to the academy. I really need a nap now." Shiva said shaking his head and putting everything away, his face turned back into Rio's and he appeared in his car outside the Angel's office.

...

"What_ no way. I would never do that. Don't you trust me at all now."

...

"Well, I did buy a gift for you but since you don't want it, I'll just give it to Amy."

...

"Fine, whatever. Talk to Amy about it."

..

"I'm fine, promise. Just missed your cooking a little. Ohh that reminds me when're you sending Tanya and Erza here."

...

"Hello, hello... she hanged up, again." Shiva said and shook his head with a smile.

"Riley will find you in some days, help her with the funds and anything else she needs." He turned to Esme and said to her, the previous smile gone as his face turned serious instantly. "And try to rank up as fast as you can. Stop wasting time on Angel all day."

He said and left the car, fixing the tracking watch back on his wrist again.

He had only taken a few steps forward when he noticed Amelia standing by the academy doors, seemingly waiting for him.

"Come on, why didn't you just keep sleeping till next morning. I called you twice, you know." She said.

"What worried much?" Rio said as he slapped her head and directly walked inside.

"Humph, I was just worried that you'd use this as an excuse to lose my gift." Amelia said as she ran and caught up with him.

"What gift?" (Rio)

"The one you bought at the auction." (Amy)

"I didn't buy anything at the auction." (Rio)

"Ohh yeah, Becca said you spent quite a lot. So no excuses, just give it to me. If I don't like it, be sure to pay for another dinner." (Amy)

"Isn't a dinner cheaper though?" (Rio)

"Not if I'm hungry." Amelia said and asked again, "You really didn't get me anything."

"Well, I got you an ice cream, if that counts?" Rio said, buying a icecream from system shop and handing it over to her.

"Wow, what a cheapskate." Amy said after taking it and dragging him towards the nursing room where Becca was resting.
