Wiro asked as Nn walked to the side of the single living room, where there was a small holder.


    He brought out two canned drinks, throwing one of them towards Nn, who caught it in his right hand.


    He unbottled the second one, taking everything down with a single gulp and delivering a satisfied smile once he finished the can.


    "I made it with my hands. The Academy dorm is nice and all, but this is the safest building," Wiro exined, taking a seat to the side and calming his beating heart.


    Nn could still see his hair standing on end, so he understood the fat bully had yet topletely let go of his fears, unlike Nn, who had been able to bring himself back to normal.


    And so, he decided to give him his space.


    He ced the drink he was given on a side table and headed outside the house, taking a seat before its small stairs while looking at the night sky with furrowed eyebrows.


    [Congrattions, Host has sessfullypleted the Quest!]


    The system notification panel appeared before him, but Nn wasn''t in the mood to appreciate it.


    He just had a close encounter with death, and it was clear that there were people really faster in this life.


    Dark and strong people.


    "You said that you scanned the power level of those who were chasing me, right before you delivered the quest to survive. How strong are they?" Nn couldn''t help but ask the system.


    [hey are strong enough to kill you without you being able to fight back at all. That''s why the feature gave you a survival mission.]


    [You should thank that fat bully because they are also faster than you and would have caught up to you if they had sighted you, and you would most likely be dead right now.]


    The system said to him as Nn''s eyes shed.


    "I just came into this world, and now I was incredibly close to soon leaving it. There''s no doubt about it, this is my only chance. And I almost fucked it up! How? How?" He pondered to himself, his fingers digging into his palms as his eyes shed a red light.


    Yet all dimmed when he heard the sound of the door creaking and a figure walking out,ing to sit on the stairs just a few meters beside him.


    "I have a lot of questions..." Nn said as he turned to Wiro, who nodded while opening up a can of juice.


    It was the juice that Nn had left on the table.


    "Go on..." Wiro said, taking a big gulp.


    "How do you know some people areing for me?" Nn asked with furrowed eyebrows.


    "Because I know Quinn very well. If there is anything that he isn''t, it would be a liar. I was sure he was going to kill you once I sighted you in the ss, still alive..."


    "Then why did you help me?" Nn asked, the really worrying question.


    ording to what Wiro had said, he had been pretty sure that Nn would get fucked the instant he had sighted him, and he had not even worried, even bullying him right after.


    But then, just before his death came, he appeared in the form of his door and warned him.


    That brought about the confusion. Why did Wiro, his past bully, save his life!?


    "Because you saved mine..." Wiro said with a shrug, but seeing the confused expression on Nn''s face made him delve deeper into his exnation.


    "When you spared me from your dagger, you did me a help. Not just physically but mentally. If I heard you died tomorrow morning, my memories of you would be me bullying you ceaselessly through the years, and the end of it being you sparing me."


    "Such a thing would haunt me for the rest of my life. I couldn''t let it happen, so I ran up at thest second to your dorm room, and just happened to find the Shadow Ones flying above the roofs."


    "Such arge number of them meant they were after a target, and to be safe, I guessed it was you, and sprinted after them taking shortcuts to appear first."


    "Guess my intuition was right, as it always has been..." Wiro exined lengthily as Nn''s eyes shed.


    What Wiro did should be enough to melt someone''s heart, but not Nn''s.


    He was aware of the gross harm he had suffered from Wiro and his goons all these years and wouldn''t forgive him just because of a single good act.


    But what surprised him was that the Wiro before him seemed... free.


    Almost like he had nothing bothering him at all, and it was clear he was at peace with who he was. I


    It was an upright change to the Wiro he knew and expected.


    And Nn knew it could be a sign of a good mental change in the young man.


    He didn''t understand how his simple act of leaving him alone had triggered such a change, but it was also undoubtable that it was only because of Wiro that he was still breathing right now.


    So, at least for that, he was grateful...


    "Thank you..." he whispered to Wiro, whose dark eyes shed for a while, before a small smile appeared on his face, but got wiped out when he saw Nn''s tough look.


    "Hmm-hmm," he coughed out embarrassedly, and Nn finally stopped looking at him.


    "So, can you exin to me who the Shadow Ones are? And why are they chasing me?" Nn asked, another critical question that was bothering him.


    Truth be told, he also didn''t have memories of those shadow people in his head. He had never met them before.


    So why were they chasing after his life?


    Just how many pieces of his memories were missing, or did they suddenly take a liking to him in less than three days that he had been active in the academy?


    He couldn''t say for sure...


    And now, he was starting to be aware of his most powerful enemies.


    Quinn!
