Legacy Of Forgotten Times

"If that"s all you wanna ask I am leaving" Linri said getting ready to get up. He was in hide or flight mode. Just run away you idiot!

"Wait!" Elizabeth shouted. Linri froze in his tracks. He did not know that she could raise her voice.

"Okay?" He sat back down like an obedient puppy, ready to please his master.

"Who are you?" Linri was perplexed. He thought he had already told her what his name was. Or was that just in his head? Did he just think that he told her? It really sounded plausible.

"I thought I already told you that my name is Linri" Elizabeth rolled her eyes.

"I mean aside from your name. Like where are you from and that kinda stuff" He finally got what she meant. G.o.d, his brain was working so slow today.

"Oh! I guess you can say that I am from Albion? My parents are from different nationalities but since I grew up there I consider myself their citizen, I suppose" Linri was not sure what to call himself. His father was supposed to be a Russian while his mother was a Hanawanese. So long as someone didn"t change anything about Russia that is. I mean he studied the world atlas when he got the chance and the country was still there and its name was the same.

"Me too" said Elizabeth quietly.

"I already know that. Anyway, I really am going to leave, it feels awkward talking to you" Linri wanted to leave. He did not know how to keep the conversation going and most importantly he was feeling unpleasant. He was feeling like he was getting sucked in by a swamp. With each step, he was sinking deeper and deeper.

"Don"t leave!" Elizabeth wanted to stop him from leaving. She did not know why but she wanted to talk with him more even if it was about trivial things. This was the first time she wanted to talk to someone so much and she didn"t even know why she felt like that.

"...Okay" Why couldn"t he just say no to her! He was getting angry but he knew that he couldn"t put the blame on this innocent girl, it was all his own fault. That made him feel even worse. He needed to find a way to vent his anger. Should he try the combat simulation arena? I guess that makes sense...

So Linri and Elizabeth kept talking about trivial stuff like did he have any siblings, who were his parents etc. Unbeknownst to Linri, his anger had slowly faded the more he talked with her. He was even enjoying this one-sided interrogation. By the time Elizabeth ran out of questions to ask the sun was already setting. The feeling of sinking into a swamp was still there but instead of feeling awful he found it enjoyable instead. He could not even remember when the change had happened.

"-and that was when my friend Kyle spilt the drink on her. It was hilarious!... I think this is enough for today Ms Elizabeth. We still have to get to the dormitory and have dinner" At this point, Linri himself wanted to keep talking but it was getting late.

"Ellie"

"?" He was puzzled.

"Call me Ellie" Oh...OH!!!!!

"Okay... Ellie" Linri"s face started to burn up once more. This scene was just so cringey! If he saw that in a manga he would just throw up! Then why did he like it so much! Was something wrong with his head? Was he getting insane? I mean yeah, in the club Linri eventually went insane but this was too soon!

Since he couldn"t endure the embarra.s.sment, Linri got up and left without waiting for Elizabeth. If she really wanted to leave together with him, he knew that she would just follow him while being invisible. Now that he thought about it, isn"t that kind of creepy? I mean sure he could see her with his [Thermal Vision] but what if it was someone else? Wouldn"t she just be a stalker? b.l.o.o.d.y h.e.l.l! What did he get himself into? Did he have to be so h.o.r.n.y even in the game! Why didn"t he think about it carefully? Then again who really thinks about this kinda stuff in a game? You would just date with the girl you find the cutest if the game gave you an option. The personality and history always come afterwards. They have to be cute or s.e.xy first!

While he was going back to the dormitory Linri constantly checked to see if she was following. Thankfully she was not! Either she was too embarra.s.sed or did not know how to face him so she had decided to stay behind. Still, she was not going to turn out to be a Yandere right? He could not say for certain that she was not and that"s what scared him. Yep, it was better to avoid her in the future. He hadn"t even noticed such simple things while he was talking to her. Oh, my clear head! How have I missed you! Now that his blood had returned to his brain, he could think clearly again.

Linri walked inside the dormitory while thinking of ways to avoid her. That was when he saw Hayato sitting in the lounge.

"Sup Hayato! I thought you were goi-" A flying knife was thrown to Linri face when he dodged it hastily thanks to his [2 x Exceptional Agility]. What the f.u.c.k! When did this b.a.s.t.a.r.d get so violent? Last time they saw each other weren"t they still in friendly terms? As far as he could remember he had not done anything to him. Or did he?

Linri did not notice the blur coming towards him while he was thinking about what he had done so he could not dodge in time. He was on the ground with a knife pressing on his throat. Hayato was sitting on top of him ready to cut his throat if he acted funny.

"HOW!DO YOU! KNOW THAT NAME!?" When his a.s.sailant asked that question Linri figured out who he was. d.a.m.n! How could he forget about him?

"Ah, my mistake. It is clear that you are not Hayato. After all, he knows not to mess with me!"

[Fire Bullet]X5

Five fire bullets with [1 x Average Strength] and [2 x Exceptional Speed] appeared in front of Linri"s face shooting towards the a.s.sailant. Due to the close proximity, he was not able to dodge and three of them managed to hit him in the chest knocking him off of Linri.

Using this chance Linri did a back roll and got up from the ground, activating the ability of his newly acquired [Bracers of Nox MK I]. A faint glow of orange appeared around him and at that moment a flying knife stabbed into his throat. However, instead of piercing his throat, the knife bounced back leaving behind a trail of flame.

Linri took this moment to point his flamethrower at him and sprayed fire. The guy had insane reflexes and dodged with poise but he was caught off guard when the trajectory of flames suddenly changed and gathered into a ball of fire. Just as it was about to collide with his back the flames suddenly dispersed.

"STOP! Let"s talk!" Linri said before throwing up his arms as a sign of peace. The a.s.sailant got up from the ground and took a defensive pose.

"Look, I already made my point. I don"t need to get blood on my hands on the first day of school. You just want to know about Hayato"s location right? Don"t worry, I will tell you. But here is the deal. What do I get out of it? Before you say I won"t have to die etc. You should be aware that you have no chance against me. Again before you say, you can a.s.sa.s.sinate me anytime you want, let me tell you that I don"t take threats kindly and you can"t get what you want that way. I am an info broker so as long as you pay me enough I will tell you what you want"

The guy fell silent. He looked like he was considering his options.

"How much?" he said in a hoa.r.s.e voice.

"You"

"...I don"t swing that way"

"Woah there! I meant that as in becoming my bodyguard. Obviously, I won"t pay you but I won"t constrict your actions. Meaning you only have to listen to my orders and protect me when you are in my vicinity. You are free to do what you want other times. Deal?"

He thought Linri was crazy. However, this deal did not have any disadvantage to him. After all the moment he learnt where Hayato was he was going to leave this school so this deal didn"t mean anything to him.

"Deal!" Linri couldn"t help but smile. He was amazed by how gullible people could be sometimes. Didn"t he think that this deal was too good to be true?

"Okay. Here is the information you want. Hayato is coming to this school tomorrow, so Six the only thing you have to do is wait" Linri said in a gloating expression. He was not really worried that Six would go back on his word. Even if he did Linri could go to Hayato to ask for compensation which he was sure that he would do. He had just gotten a minion for free! Yep, being a bad guy definitely suits him the best.

It had really turned out well for him this time. After all, he was not the one that dispersed the flames. It was because the sun had set and his ability changed from manipulating fire to ice. Otherwise, he wouldn"t let off that b.a.s.t.a.r.d without burning him! He was a petty guy. So, of course, he was thinking of taking revenge the moment he threw that knife at him. Six was lucky this time but he was not going to be as lucky in the future in the future.

Oh yeah for anyone who forgot Six is Conman"s second student character and Hayato"s clone.

Six"s face started to turn different shades of red and blue alternatively. He knew that he was tricked. Actually, if he didn"t he would be a real idiot. He should have noticed the deal sounded too good for him but he was just too desperate to find Hayato that he did not think things through. So should he just kill this guy? He crossed that option. From the fight just now he could see that he was no match for him in single combat. He also did not have anything to gain from killing him either. It was just one person he needed to protect so I guess it shouldn"t be that much of a problem. How much of a problem could he bring?

If the Six from the future could go back in time he would punch him in the face. "How much of a problem could he bring?!". Brother, you don"t even know the half of it!
