The first and foremost topic which Aborne brought forward was, "Interruption! Why did you interrupt their perfect battle, you bookworm?!" His anger was directed toward the Grand Master in the room.

Devon, on his part, looked completely unaffected despite being directed with such anger by the strongest warrior of the nation.

With a smile, he merely shrugged, "My interference was necessary, Sir Aborne or one of the two might have lost their life."

Hector asked, "Did you perceive those attacks lethal?" The Headmaster was also witnessing the battle; however, he trusted the eyes of the youngster more.

Devon fixed his monocle and said, "I won\'t say it was intentional. Although both sides were trying to forge all their strength in that attack, they didn\'t hold the \'intention\' to kill each other."

The short-haired woman, Shelby, scoffed, "From what I saw, the aftereffect of Alex\'s attack suggested he was going for the kill."

No one could refute the fact that Alex\'s attack contained more raw energy and devastation. That single attack was worth taking down a fort, Devon declared. And if not for him suppressing the damage, the other participants might have incurred damage, including the Prince.

The answer to that question was provided by the violet-haired lady, "If he really intended on killing Edric, then Alex would have used that stance he calls, \'Tempest Dart.\'"

Shelby closed her mouth and couldn\'t say anything against that. By now, the whole teaching unit knows about the fact that Alex launched an attack that even a Five-star mage warrior like Jullie had a hard time countering.

Edric was only a three-star warrior, and in that state where he was on the verge of falling, there was a very bleak chance that the raven-haired teenager would have been able to block the dart.

"But I can\'t understand something here…" The member of the Royal lineage spoke, "How come no one can discern this sudden growth in Alex\'s strength?" Ryan looked at Devon, Jullie, and Hector one after another.

Strength is good, but that kind of strength without a proper explanation is troubling.

Aborne voiced, "Your Highness, from what I have witnessed, Alex isn\'t cursed by the Soulless." Every eye turned towards the redhead, as with his arms crossed the Knight Commander added, "From what I could see, Alex has honed his skills through deliberate hard work and through years of practice. Gaining sudden strength majorly overwhelms one\'s mind and body. "

Taking a pause, he added, "Although Alex doesn\'t seem to be able to withstand his own strength and his body not being able to keep up, his mental fortitude showed that the boy had gone through experiences that have allowed him to wield that power."

Devon affirmed, "Indeed, his body isn\'t up to the mark to wield such strength…that explains why he has always been careful with his sword arts. Despite being thrashed by Edric, Alex didn\'t just start launching his attacks here and there and waited for the right moment."

Hector shared his insight, "In my opinion, Alex\'s mind is of a high-ranking warrior, but his body hasn\'t developed to that stage?"

Those words made them frown, and Devon nearly flinched at the prospect of something that Hector\'s words suggested.

Shelby gasped and uttered what others had in their mind, "Time travel?!"

Aborne frowned, "Can it be…really possible?" His question was directed at no one specific, and everyone in the room had similar questions.

"It\'s unprecedented but not impossible," Hawk added; given there have been magicians in the past with command over time and space.

However, the capability to reverse time or regression always remained limited and very brief. Could there be a magician in the future who could travel back in time without letting their soul energy be revealed to the world? After all, a regression spell would cost a huge amount of Soul Energy but Alex possesses a pitiful amount.

Or is it that Alex has a way of enshrouding his presence, suppressing his SE, and appearing to be weak?

Numerous questions and the only way to know it, "Hector, you need to pry into his head." Shelby slammed her hand on the table and demanded.

Good or bad, the knowledge of the future could be beneficial for the current era. And even if Alex isn\'t from the future, they could discern the cause behind his sudden growth.

Hector leaned back in his seat before responding, "I can\'t, for two reasons."

Shelby frowned but it was another Professor who asked, "Why?"

Hector pointed out, "First, without any proper evidence I won\'t investigate someone\'s memories without their permission. And second…because I am not allowed to."

Shelby frowned, "Who in the world can stop you?" Just as she said, she thought of the Emperor…but the Emperor wouldn\'t go out of his way to protect Alex.

The question wasn\'t answered clearly, but Hector vaguely told them,

"Someone whom none of us can defy."

In the infirmary, Edric and Alex were lying on the bed parallel to each other, and beside their beds sat two beautiful ladies.

Amanda, who won her match against Celestria didn\'t have many wounds that could be regarded as \'concerning\'. However, the same couldn\'t be said about the Princess, who had severe frostbite, and her left arm was frozen to the very blood cells.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

However, despite the nurse\'s warning, Celestria decided to remain by Alex\'s side tonight to take care of him.

Amanda was, naturally, worried for Edric, so she decided to look over him until he woke up. However, now that the girl was sitting just a few inches away from Celestria, Amanda couldn\'t help but feel a little sad.

"Does…it hurt?" Glancing at the girl from the corner of her eyes, Amanda asked.

Celestria\'s arm was covered in bandages and the blond Princess was wearing a thick fabric all around to keep her body warm. The hot pads attached to her clothes must be uncomfortable but that\'s the price she has to pay in exchange for remaining here in the infirmary rather than letting her body rest.

Celestria heaved a sigh, "It hurts…but not as much as it does when I see Alex. His condition pains me much more."

Amanda could share the sentiment since seeing Edric wincing and flinching in his sleep made her heart heavy as well. Even the slightest movement caused his whole body to ache.

Amanda couldn\'t even imagine how the two boys must be feeling at the moment. The last time when she was beaten black and blue, a year ago during the tournament, she was given anesthesia since she wasn\'t able to endure the pain at all.

She still gets nightmares of those nights when her body was her biggest enemy, bestowing her irresistible pain. And here, Alex and Edric have gone through that experience more than once in this single month.

"It\'s surprising tho…" Amanda turned toward Celestria before continuing, "...that the same Alex who cried over a simple bruise and ran away from battles, had the courage to fight until his whole body was immovable and his consciousness slipped away. From the reports I have received, several of Alex\'s ribs were broken during the first half minute of the battle."

Celestria nodded as she wiped her tears and slowly uttered, "He has grown, Amy, stronger and more courageous. It\'s both saddening and delightful that Alex doesn\'t need me anymore to face his problems."

Amanda rested her hand on Celestria\'s shoulder before telling her, "Seeing you in these conditions…I suppose now you need Alex more than ever."

The blond Princess nodded, "Yes…yes, I do need him. I have committed a grave sin but I am prepared to go through any trial which could allow me to get back with him."

Allowing Amanda to wipe her tears with her handkerchief, Celestria continued, "Trust me, Amanda, I had suffered greatly in those days when I wasn\'t with Alex….it almost felt I was incomplete. He is the color of my life….the reason why I smile and look forward to the next day."

Amanda was…genuinely surprised. While she could see that Celestria was head over heels for Alex, the girl herself didn\'t know it. Celestria still feels that this feeling was friendship but from Amanda\'s perception, Celestria has crossed the realm of love….she is devoted to Alex.

Glancing at Edric, the teenager couldn\'t help but mutter, \'Someday…I also wish to convey my feelings just as fluently as Cela….\'

Melissa who was standing nearby, couldn\'t help but smile at the two young ladies who were showing the genuine meaning behind that certain word, which she never understood.

Love.

A/N:- I feel I should write a side story from Celestria\'s perspective.
