Although he said so, when he felt relieved, he closed his eyes and could not open them again. He could only vaguely hear the anxious voices around him gradually fading away...
......................
Time passed quietly, and he didn't know how much time had passed. The pungent smell of the medicine gradually caused his heavy eyelids to spasm slightly, and his consciousness was as chaotic as if he had crawled out of a swamp.
He tried hard to sort out the current situation, but then he remembered what had happened to him. He blinked a few times and saw the unfamiliar ceiling and the hazy figure. A strong pain seemed to have been waiting for this moment, and it flooded his head, making his expression distorted.
"....What? Your expression becomes so ugly when you see me?"
In the ward filled with the smell of disinfectant, the voice of a young girl's complaints came from the side.
He blinked hard and could barely see clearly. The strange girl whom he last saw before he was unconscious was sitting next to him. Judging from the expression on her face...she didn't seem to be in a very good mood.
“How should I put it…”
"What? You don't even have a word of thanks to your savior?" The girl sat on the edge of the bed, looking down at him with her arms folded across her chest, her dissatisfaction evident in her words.
"Well...thank you."
"Uh, well, you're welcome..." This overly frank attitude made her feel as if she was forcing the injured person to thank her, and the bullying girl looked a little embarrassed.
She played with the end of her ponytail, coughed lightly, and softened her tone: "Compared to this, what happened to you? Were you attacked by criminals?"
"....It should indeed be calculated this way. Can you help me contact the police?"
"It's no use shouting. The Federation Student Council President has been missing for weeks. The Valkyrie Police Academy is completely out of control and there are thugs everywhere." The girl shook her head and sighed. As she spoke of the current situation, she couldn't help but said depressedly, "I was originally looking for the Federation President on behalf of Millennium (College). Not only did I fail to find him several times, but I even stepped on you at the door..."
“...Missing..." The familiar lines made Mo Lu feel like something was wrong.
It was just that his head was buzzing and he couldn't think properly. When he tried to think seriously, his face wrinkled in pain, causing the girl opposite to stop him quickly: "-Ah! Ah! You'd better not think too much. The doctor said that you suffered a severe concussion due to a severe blow to the head. You need to cooperate with the treatment."
"Really? ....By the way, who are you?"
"Here's my question, you don't look like a Kivotos, do you? Why are you here?"
"I'm Mo Lu... I used to be a teacher, so I'll probably be a teacher in the future, right?"
"Teacher...is there such a profession in this era?" The girl was stunned for a moment, but did not continue to delve into the question. Instead, she stood up and lowered her head slightly, revealing a dignified smile: "Nice to meet you. My name is Hayase Yuka, the accountant of the Millennium Academy Seminar. Thank you for your guidance."
"...In this era, it's rare to find someone as polite as you."
"Is that so?"
"Hmm~ maybe like this?"
"Maybe...? Are you kidding me?" Yuka's eyes raised slightly, and her smile became a little stiff and dangerous.
This made Mo Lu roughly understand that this was a serious girl, and he quickly waved his hand to explain: "It was just a joke, don't be so serious with such a seriously injured person."
"Uh, sorry..." Seeing him covered in bandages, Yuuka couldn't help scratching her head awkwardly: "You seem to be in good spirits, I almost forgot... I'm surprised you can be so optimistic even at this time."
"...After all, it's already like this, complaining won't help, right?" He smiled and spread his hands, but in the process, he accidentally pulled the wound, which made him grimace in pain, and was forced to restrain his hands: "But Yuuka is really gentle, she is a stranger, but she accompanied me to the hospital."
"Well, well... After all, I stepped on you, so I have some responsibility. If anything happens to you, I won't be able to sleep at night." Yuuka felt a little embarrassed when she was suddenly praised seriously. With a slightly red face, she left a note with her phone number on it and walked towards the door: "I have something important to do, so I'll leave first. You can have a good rest here. If you have anything, you can call me. I'll come to see you again if I have time later."
Having said this, the girl, as quick as lightning, really walked out of the ward quickly, leaving him, a seriously injured man, paralyzed on the bed.
Chapter 2: Prana's Advice - First Meeting with the Seven Gods
In the suddenly quiet ward, Mo Lu's gaze lingered on the ceiling. Just as his thoughts were wandering, the tablet computer beside him suddenly lit up, accompanied by a familiar sigh:
"Teacher, are you aware of the danger you are facing this time? Their firepower configuration is clearly intended to kill people. What if you really encounter an accident?"
"....Prana? Speaking of which....what am I doing?"
The familiar voice made Mo Lu look over subconsciously.
Prana also interfered with reality at this moment, causing the tablet to float up out of thin air and land next to him. The young silver-haired girl in the picture also said earnestly: "... To be honest, you should do the same as before. Even if you use the power of that card, you should let students rush from the future to fight in the present instead of strengthening yourself."
"You said they might die, right? What if they really die?"
“…This is not something I should consider.” The girl in the picture stared into his dark eyes. Unlike her usual calmness, she showed distinct emotions for the first time—a sad tone: “I only know that if you really die, I will definitely lose the meaning of my existence completely.”
"Don't make it sound so serious. You may only care about me, but in my eyes, they are definitely as important to me as you are." He stroked the girl's hair through the monitor with his fingertips wrapped in gauze:
"Although I still can't fully grasp the current situation, but...I think I should take my own responsibilities, especially in terms of risks."
"...The teacher really doesn't listen to advice at all, no matter in the past or now." Prana shrank her head slightly and sighed with a little frustration: "But I'll let it go. If you tell this to others, you will definitely be regarded as someone who wants to cheat openly, right?"
".... How can I even think about that kind of thing when I'm in this state? Now I'm just talking about the issue of importance!"
The strange misunderstanding made him depressed, but the ambiguity in Prana's words, as if it didn't matter to her, also made him want to explore it a little.
But now he was exhausted both physically and mentally and had no energy to say more. He could only close his eyes again and try to sort out the current situation in silence.
But even though he closed his eyes, Prana was still there to explain the current situation and help him understand.
Although he only lost consciousness for a short time, more than a year had passed since the battle and he was already in the heart of the city.
All of this was because Prana, with his uniqueness, responded to the call more than a year later, and with the help of that summoning power, came to the time and space node where he should have appeared.
It was precisely because of this series of time and space intersections that he had a sense of déjà vu about the disappearance of the Federation President - because this was exactly his original starting point in the previous timeline.
Although his physical condition is different from last time, he probably knows what he should do.
Without its manager, the entire city fell into chaos, and it was time for her to make her appearance - although even Prana didn't know why the president had disappeared.
Because in the previous timeline, the president was in control of everything.
But it was useless to think about that now. Although he was seriously injured, he still had to do what he had to do. Even though he wanted to go to Abydos, it had been so long, and there seemed to be no rush. So he put it aside for the time being, borrowed a cane from the nurse, and staggered to the Sacred Tower.
...........................
At the entrance of the Sacred Tower, a girl who looked much more mature than Yuka was looking around as if she was looking for someone.
The girl had ankle-length dark blue hair, wore white gloves and black tights that covered her slender thighs, and an almost pure white uniform.
Her cheeks are straight and her ears are pointed for some reason, like a fairy in the legend, yet she wears silver half-frame glasses... In one sentence, she gives the impression of an intellectual, mature office lady wearing glasses.
However, when he was looking at the other person, the other person also stared at him intently. Although he looked puzzled, he quickly walked over and directly extended his hand to him and introduced himself:
"Nice to meet you. I'm Qi Shenlin, an officer of the Kivotos Federation Student Union. I guess you're Mr. Molu who the president invited here?"
"...Why is it a question?" He asked subconsciously, causing Lin to show a hint of helplessness:
"Because I don't quite know how you got here, sir, and why you are here, covered in bandages and leaning on crutches. But the president left a message before he disappeared, asking me to wait here for the 'adult' from the outside world."
"Any more?"
"I'm sure you're confused by this. I understand because I'm confused too and I regret it. But please follow me. There's something very important that I need you to do with me."
After she finished speaking, she immediately led Mo Lu into the gate of the Sacred Tower.
Just as she stepped into the automatic glass door, Lin heard hurried footsteps coming from behind her. She glanced back and pressed the button to close the door without thinking.
The automatic glass door at the entrance of the building closed immediately, and the girl who was following quickly was also blocked outside.
Mo Lu looked over subconsciously and found out...that person was actually Youxiang.
He couldn't help but point at the girl who was still banging on the door and seemed to be angrily saying something, and asked: ".... Is this really okay?"
"Don't worry about it. We have more important things to do now than that idler."
Rin ignored Yuuka who was knocking on the door and walked silently towards the elevator in the vast hall. He hesitated for a moment, then gave Yuuka an apologetic look and followed her.
Yuxiang was left alone, banging on the glass in shock, trying her best to figure out why...this was the person she had just sent to the hospital, how come he got in before her who had failed several times before?
Chapter 3 Rewards for Joining Xialai Prana
As the elevator slowly rose, Lin began to explain to Mo Lu the current situation and his role in it.
Of course, he knew most of them. For example, this academy city called "Kivotos" was composed of thousands of academies with different styles.
Each academy is like an independent little kingdom, with self-governing areas of varying sizes under its jurisdiction. It can also sign treaties, wage wars, engage in trade, etc. The student gun ownership rate can be said to be 100%, and the law enforcement agencies of each academy are also equipped with various heavy weapons.
As the general administrator, the Federal Student Union controls the entire Kivotos and maintains the balance between the various colleges, but now the president has disappeared for several weeks.
This caused the Federal Student Union to lose administrative control of the Sanctuary Tower, causing it to shut down, and the huge city fell into chaos.
But before disappearing, the president set up a special organization - the Federal Investigation Agency Xialai.
In name it is a club, but in reality it is an institution beyond the norm, not only open to all Kivotos students, but also able to move freely in any autonomous area, not bound by laws and academies, and having authority beyond laws and academies.
Xialai's activity room or "activity building" is also in this central area, about 30 kilometers away from here.
The president has installed unknown equipment in the basement, and he is the only Xia Lai consultant who has authorization to use it.
.........................
Sitting in front of the huge screen, Mo Lu calmed down with a cup of hot coffee in his hand and listened to the girl's detailed description. Suddenly, he said, "I think I understand everything. So... we should talk about salary, right?"
"....What?" Lin was caught off guard by the unexpected question: "You're actually concerned about your salary at this moment?"
"In this situation where we are completely in the dark, the first priority should be to ensure salary, right?" Mo Lu, who had been tired of being poor a while ago, really didn't want to continue living a hard life.
Lin, who didn't know the truth, couldn't help but asked back with a dark face: "If money is everything, what about your ethics as a teacher?"
"To be honest, I don't know how I became a teacher, so even if you tell me this now..."
He really didn't understand this.
At least in the past, he probably just wanted to get a teacher's license, and then... I really don't know what happened, he traveled through time and space, and then inexplicably ended up here.
"alright."
His firm attitude made Lin put one hand on his forehead as if giving up, and was forced to discuss the issue of salary and benefits with him first.
It's just that this place doesn't have faculty in the traditional sense, as those jobs have long been replaced by autonomous robots, so the student union is the one in power.
His job is not teaching. He is called a teacher only because they are students. This job is called a teacher.
This made his salary uncertain, and he didn't understand what level of salary Rin offered. After trying hard to get a higher salary, he was satisfied with the salary which was much higher than that of a convenience store, and just boarded a helicopter with Rin to the designated building.
Although you can occasionally see gun battles between uniformed students and bad girls on the streets, tanks running rampant, and even armed helicopters carrying out ground attacks.
But they were lucky and everything went smoothly along the way.
In particular, although Xia Lai's office building was occupied by bad girls a while ago, they soon couldn't figure out what it was for and left quickly.
Rin gave him a brief tour of the newly renovated building and went straight to the basement, handing him the new tablet (Shiting Box).
According to what she said, the tablet only looked like a tablet on the outside, and nothing else was clear. The missing president just said that it belonged to him, and he could use it to regain control of the Sanctuary Tower.
After saying this, Lin temporarily left Xia Lai on the grounds that he was busy and didn't want to disturb her.
Once again, Mo Lu looked around the basement alone. Apart from the computer and some books, the most special thing was probably a half-destroyed stone tablet suspended on a special device.
Everything here felt strangely familiar to him...even though he had no idea what these things were, he still opened the tablet skillfully.
Familiar words appeared on the screen: [Please enter the system connection password]
"....We desire the seven laments; we remember the ancient rules of Jericho." He had verified this when he turned on Prana's tablet. As he spoke these words, the tablet automatically input these words and prompted that the verification was successful.
But as the scene began to change, what came into view was the familiar half-ruined classroom.
There was also a girl wearing a blue and white sailor suit with a big white bow tied on her head, sleeping soundly on the desk and talking in her sleep.
He was also pulled into that strange space, along with a silver-haired girl named Prana who was wearing a black sailor suit and looked like a doll.
......................
In this strange space, Mo Lu felt the security that his feet were firmly touching the bottom, and even the sea breeze blowing from the distant ocean seemed extremely real, as if he was in the real world.
Mo Lu was stunned for a moment, then he pointed at the girl who was different from Prana and asked, ".... Prana, were you like this before?"
"No, this guy looks lazy, it's definitely not me." Prana frowned and denied it without thinking.
"But speaking of which...why am I here? And where is this place..."
"This is the interior of the Shiting Box. It is like a spiritual space. Only your soul can enter. There is a problem with my Shiting Box, so I cannot let you in."
"I see~ But in that case....can I touch you too?"
"Okay." Prana nodded slightly, then tilted her head to think for a moment, then said expressionlessly: "Teacher, you have changed the tragedy and have made great efforts for it... As a reward, please touch my head."
"what?"
"Come on, you're welcome." Seeing that he was still in a daze, Plana took a step forward, stood in front of him and raised her little head, staring at him intently.
