The more Shane stared at the scene, the more he felt confused. He didn't know what to do as his host looked around and said nothing. He had thought that his host would speak or even scream when suddenly entering a new world. Ordinary hosts would usually have puzzled expressions on their faces after entering a world.
But his host remained calm and collected, as if everything was normal in the world.
Shane narrowed his eyes. Before he could say anything, one of the two bald students spoke:
"Headmaster, we're really innocent! We didn't kill him!"
The other bald student who looked similar to the first one as if twins also nodded and hid behind the first guy. He looked like a coward who couldn't utter a single word. The front one seemed to be more upfront and bolder than the previous one.
Shane looked at them carefully and felt like he had seen them before. Why did they feel familiar to him?
He shook his head as he continued to look at the scene. He glanced at the headmaster who's facial muscles twitched rapidly as he got up and threw the stick in his hand to the other side of the office making the cowardly bald kid jump in fear. His entire face turned pale as he hid some more.
The bold kid glared at the headmaster. "You crazy old man! How come you can't even identify who's good and who's evil? We said we didn't do it, so we didn't! We are your students. You should be able to tell whether we're evil or not! How come you blame us for something we never did, a murder at that?"
"You-" the headmaster's face was black as he took a deep breath, trying to calm himself. "You both are one of the lucky people who were born into the system world, but you don't take advantage of it at all! Just look at other students and then look at yourself! Both of you live as if this world belonged to you alone!
"When was the last time you passed the monthly, huh? Both of you Hudson boys go to hell! You only know how to write your names, nothing else! If you don't get out of here, I'll kick you out right now!"
The frightened boy finally raised his head and stuttered, "He-Headmaster… you can't expel us. Grandma paid you all the money, didn't she? And we really didn do anything!"
"The evidence is against you, and you say you didn do it? What a joke! The result of the investigation are you guys, especially you, Ed," said the old man, pointing his finger at the coward boy behind.
Shane's eyes widened.
Ed?! And didn't he say these were Hudson boys?
Then….
That coward boy was Ed Hudson?!
Shane couldn't believe his eyes as he looked on at the two kids. If the coward guy was his dead teacher, then the one in the front was probably the current System God!
Just what the heck was happening?!
Did he really come to the past?
As he continued to stand there, stunned, he heard his host saying: "Headmaster, can you give me a minute?"
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"Huh? Tom, where are you going? Weren't you the one who complained they were the murderers?"
So that's what happened. Shane nodded and looked at the bald kids, especially the coward.
That coward was really his dead master. How funny!
"Just a min. I'll be back."
After that, Tom waved his hand and rushed out as if he urgently wanted to go to the toilet. As soon as he was a little distance away, all alone in the back garden, he sighed.
"Hey, Shane, wake up! For how long will you continue to stay stunned? If it's Ed and the past you know, then it's Ed! What's there to be so shocked about?"
"Huh? Who are you?"
"Hope."
"How did you come?!" Shane was even more surprised now.
One after another, he continued to receive surprises.
"Send me the mission."
Only then did Shane remember that he was inside the system world on a mission. He quickly opened the menu and sent the details as he read it with Hope.
"Destroy the system world completely."
Shane stared at that statement for a while as he frowned.
What the heck?
Destroy the system world?
No, he didn't want to!
He felt so complicated in his heart that he couldn't say a single word. It was Hope who spoke first.
"Pretty easy. Don't you think, Shane?"
Easy? Yeah, destroying it was easy, but to be able to have the desire to destroy this place was difficult. If he ended up destroying it for real, where would he go after passing the mission? The future trajectory will change to the point that he was scared he wouldn't end up going to his time at all!
He felt a trace of fear engulfing his heart.
Just why was this happening to him?
On the other hand, Hope was equally silent. She didn't feel surprised at all after seeing such a mission. She raised her brows in Tom's body.
"So? What should we do?"
Shane thought for a while and asked, "Is there a way we can eject?"
"We could have avoided entering this place if you had told me about it," rebuked Hope. "But you didn't. So whose fault do you think it was?"
Shane opened his mouth and closed as he stopped saying another word about it. "Then let's do it. How should we start?"
Hope glanced back toward the office's direction and said, "Let's start with those kids, shall we?"
"There's my master there."
"I know," Hope seemed to be in a good mood at the moment. "We have to use him."
Just as they were talking, a voice echoed suddenly, "What're you doing here?"
That was familiar….
Wait, wasn't it Dirt?!
Shane looked over in shock. As expected. A familiar robot was seen standing in front of his eyes.
Wait, if he remembered correctly, Dirt was created by Ed and his brother. So at this time, they had already created Dirt?
Behind him, another familiar person walked over in her loli look and cold face. She bumped into Dirt and stumbled back, falling to the ground miserably.
It was the queen they had met earlier, Luna. Two bald twins also followed after her. It seemed the headmaster let them go for now.
Shane took a deep breath. He shouldn't be shocked anymore after seeing his master's childish and cowardly form just now. He stared at the strange scene and sighed.
"Let's do it then. But what will happen to me after that?"
"Shane, do you trust me?" Hope asked suddenly.
"Nope."
Hope felt her eyes twitching because of that. "Then learn to trust me a little! You stupid guy!"
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThey watched the cowardly bald kid finally coming out of hiding as his starry eyes turned to Dirt. "Dirt, where were you?! Let's play!"
His bald brother held the guy by grabbing his collar. "Wait a minute. It was all your fault. Where do you think you're going?"
"How was it my fault?!" Little Ed pouted.
"If you hadn't decided to enter the cave, that guard wouldn't have entered. The evidence are against us because of your little act!"
Little Ed pursed his lips as a trace of guilt fell upon his eyes. "How is it my fault? I just wanted a demon's body for my experiment!"
"Experiment, experiment, experiment!!! All you do is take samples and stuff your butt in your lab! You even created two crazy dudes for yourself and you end up playing with them all day long! What's wrong with you? Okay with systems like normal people!"
Little Ed lowered his head in guilt as he didn't even dare to raise his eyes.
Shane, who was watching this scene, somehow wanted to burst out in laughter. So this was his master's true face. He should have known earlier.
He wanted to laugh, but he controlled himself realizing he should respect the dead.
After that, he heard Hope's voice, "I'm sorry for earlier. Can you forgive me? I'll take back my complaint and tell them I was mistaken."
Ed nodded but his brother narrowed his eyes. "Why do you want to apologize when you were blaming us not too long ago?"
Hope made a crying face in Tom's body and said, "I'm sorry!!!! Can we be friends?"
"No! Get out of here!"
Tom instantly ran away and his behind a tree nearby.
Hope sighed and spoke, "It's going to be difficult. Should we change the hosts?"
"I don't think we-"
Before Shane could finish speaking, he felt dizzy all of a sudden as he fell unconscious. When he woke up again, he was still inside the mind space, but the view outside had changed.
It was a classroom this time. Shane frowned and thought that he had somehow managed to lose his consciousness in the middle of the work. Just as he was about to comment on it, he heard a very, very familiar voice.
"Hey, how's this body?"
He was shocked.
Utterly shocked.
He never thought something else was remaining that could shock him after seeing things that he saw. But now, he didn't have any words.
The person who spoke was Echo! That's right the same Echo who always got on his nerves!
