In the corridor of Leipte, the first class is about to end, but the second class has not yet started.
"Is that Yuri who just passed by?"
"Yes! He's back!"
"Now? It's almost the end of the semester. Uh, does that guy like school very much?"
"Who cares! There's an extra 'Master' at school! More parties! Why not!"
"Well, speaking of parties... Do you remember what happened when we went to Yuri's party on Saturday? I, I don't remember anything..."
"Well… "
"Don't just uh! Talk! Do you remember anything?"
"I remember the gift, well, then, then..."
"Then you don't remember anything, right?! Especially after Laura Kepler's gang showed up! I felt like my mind was flashing and I couldn't remember anything! Uh, there are those guys everywhere! Lower your head! Don't go there Look over there!”
"Uh, why is Yuri also with those people! Tsk! The captain (cheerleader) will definitely not be happy that Yuri is getting together with Kepler again!"
"I said! Don't look over there!! That 'Thousand Piece Girl' (Sissi) always makes me feel bad!"
"Me too... Uh, I really don't understand why Caesar would follow her..."
"Oh my God, don't tell me that you are interested in that Caesar, just like you are just following someone around."
"Uh, shut up! I didn't! I'm just curious! This guy suddenly transferred to another school and didn't want to find anyone. He actually followed that Qianpin girl! Do these 'young masters' all like girls who think highly of themselves? I It's also okay… "
"Stop! Listen to what you said! You're hopeless! Uh, we should ask about Yuri's class selection! The captain will be happy that we got this!"
"That's right, go find the fat girl. She should be able to get it."
…
Let's get down to business.
Laura pushed Kyle, "You don't want to run into the junior class! Come on! Chris! Take my brother away!" Laura was chasing away the troublesome guy. The reason is of course not to go to class, but to—
"I don't understand what you have to hide." Saint Sissi said to Kyle, "I told you, how many people hope to have a guardian angel, you are..."
"I swear if you dare to say one more word! I will..." This was Kyle's warning.
"Kyle, I respect you as my captain (team), but don't talk to my Sissy like that." This is Chris trying to persuade.
"They seem to be struggling for a while~" Zach Maya hugged Alice's arm, "Let's go get a seat first~"
"So..." This was the coy Kepler, "You are also taking this class... Do you want to sit together?" To Jimmy Urie, who was following the group silently for the time being.
Laura, who started all this, instantly lost the focus of her care, "Alice! Help me! Uh, Kepler!! Uh-huh!" With a shake of her head, she pushed away Caesar who was watching everything calmly, and grabbed Sissi. , "Let's sit together!" Kyle glared and tried to prepare what to say, "Don't even think about it! I must ask clearly today! Chris! Take my brother away!"
With the ringing of the bell, everything was set.
Teacher (Su) with a 'butt' chin walked into the classroom with a sick look on his face. His eyes only glanced at the faces of his 'cute' students. Everything that should be there was there, "I saw everyone's old friend coming back." "It should be said that Jimmy Urie feebly wrote a topic on the blackboard - "Those Who Returned", "Let's discuss in groups freely." He just sat behind the podium and fell asleep... slept, passed ,went.
That's fine too.
Which group do you want to pay attention to first? Caesar swaying to the music alone in the classroom at the end? The group of Laura who forcibly pressed down Sissi who was sitting but actually one centimeter away from her seat? Kepler and Yuri, who are hesitant to speak and are still brewing emotions for each other? Or the two banshees who both blinked at their teacher’s buttocks and chins
Come on backwards.
"His illness has worsened." Maya said a little regretfully. You may still have the impression that the last time Zach came to Repert, the teacher called in sick, so Sissi went to the abandoned classroom to relax.
"But he'll be fine, right." Alice continued to blink, "I can't see anything." Death screen.
"For the time being, yes." Maya shrugged, "But one day, we will all see it." Unfortunately, there is only a little. After saying that, he withdrew his gaze and looked at Alice seriously, "You should understand one thing. The most difficult thing is not the sudden death that we saw accidentally." You don't even need to pay too much attention to the volume, anyway, the classroom is noisy now. "It's this kind of death that slowly appears in front of us day by day. We can't see anything yet, but we can confirm that at some point, we will see death. This process is the most painful." "
"Is there anything we can do..." Alice seemed to realize that she had asked a stupid question, and withdrew her gaze and lowered her head.
"No. We can only watch the death scene appear in our eyes one day." Maya's hand caressed Alice's back, "I always think that the hardest part of this situation is when the death scene appears, If we tell the person concerned, the person concerned will believe us. The only time humans believe the death predictions given by us banshees is the death we are absolutely powerless to change."
It should be understandable. People can accept the slow process of patients eating away at their lives, but they cannot accept the sudden death of being hit by a flower pot falling from upstairs when they turn right when they go out. If someone meets someone who can predict death, such as a banshee, for the former, people may be grateful that someone can accurately tell how long they can stay in this world, but for the latter, they will probably just let the Indian woman go away. Stay away and don't curse yourself.
Alice glanced at Maya, "But we can change. I can ask Zach for help. He can save Teacher Su."
"Maybe. This time, this person, you can find Zach. What about next time? When Zach is not around, what are you going to do? Search for vampires all over the world? And if this vampire is not your family, not yours Brother, he doesn’t want to help you save a human being who has nothing to do with him. What are you going to do, force the other person to hand over his blood and save the person you want to save?”
Alice lowered her head again.
Everyone guessed correctly, Maya is teaching Alice how to survive as a banshee - seeing that death is their gift, their talent, not a burden that makes their lives uncomfortable.
Lowering her head does not mean admitting defeat. Alice whispered, as if to herself, "But Zach is still here."
"He will always be 'here'." Maya actually rolled her eyes, "That guy will probably live until the world is destroyed..." He sighed and shook his head, "But he won't always be by your side, Alice. You have to learn to use your Face this kind of thing in your own way, our way, the way of the banshee, the black witch. We cannot infinitely chase the death that is happening every moment, there are too many, we are not gods, we still have our own life to want However, we must know how to watch and ignore, otherwise we will really go crazy.”
Alice said no more.
Next group.
"I'm sorry." Kepler made the invitation to join the class, so it was necessary. Now that we were sitting together, it was the boys' job to find topics to talk about. Don't be coy like girls. Jimmy's eyes circled around, and whenever he landed on Kepler, he quickly moved away, "You're not invited to the party."
"No, it doesn't matter, I haven't gone yet..." The same goes for Kepler, it's also magical. The two people's gazes circling together can always meet at a certain moment, and then turn away together, preparing for the next encounter, and the cooperation is also Infinitely.
"I, um, I don't dare to invite you..." There was a red mark on Yuri's chin. He didn't know what caused it. At this time, the red mark was trembling in a cramped manner. It was because he was wringing his hands. Thinking of words in my head, "I, um, know that my father invited your father, I'm afraid, um, inviting you, um, will be very, um, embarrassing..."
"I know, father tore up the invitation..." Kepler pursed his lips, "He didn't go at all..." The girl was also trying hard to find a topic, "Hehe, still, it's a good thing he didn't go, hehehe..."
"Yes, yes, it's a good thing I didn't go, otherwise, my soul would have been extracted by that Mr. Quinn (I'm talking about Pochi)..."
The boy and the girl were silent for a while, and then the two tables suddenly came close to each other, and the two guys stared at each other as if they had been beaten to death—
"What happened to Barton during the time I was away from him! What happened to that Poch! It scared me to death!"
"I know! Right! It scared me too! Fortunately Alice and Sissy are here! Oh my god! Soul?! I didn't even know that such a thing really existed!"
"Ah! Please don't talk about Alice and Sissy! They, they! What's wrong with you, Cape! How did you become friends with them! Do you know what they are! Those are Banshees and Saints! Oh my God !”
"I know! Right! I never thought they were so powerful before! It turns out that one is the spokesperson for the witchcraft belief, and the other is the spokesperson for the Holy Lord belief! Oh my God, I can't believe I know such a group of people! Uh, Not to mention that vampire!"
"Ugh! That vampire! He's the guy who started all this! Ugh! Now you know who forced my family out of Barton!"
"Zach? Well, it doesn't matter if it's him or not! Who told your father to always target my family!"
"Although... but... eh! But who knows! There is a vampire at your house to help you!"
"Stop talking about these annoying adult things! That, uh, Maitreya of yours, what the hell! He came out of nowhere!"
"No! I don't want to talk about that Maitreya! Kepler! I miss you!!"
"I miss you too!!!"
Well… twist.
Let's abandon this group and move on to the next one.
This group has reached a pretty intense part.
Laura was almost close to Sissi's face, "What do you mean! My brother's soul has been 'sold'?!"
"Who said it was sold! The word I used was ancillary contract!"
"Sold!!" Laura insisted extremely, "It's still an accessory! What do you want to say! Is my brother's soul an accessory for buy one, get one free?!"
"Do you think it's easy to break Toledo's memory blockade?" Sissi was a little impatient. "Do you think any vampire in the Sabbat can have charming eyes like your good friend's brother? Do you think your brother can recognize it? Was it easy enough for him to go through what he went through in Patton?”
"Then tell me!" Laura glared at Sissi.
"Do you really want to know?" Sissi gave her a mocking look, and when Laura wasn't paying attention, she floated half a centimeter higher on her seat. Our saint didn't want to get her skirt dirty and wonder who was sitting in this seat before her.
"tell me!"
"Okay." Sissi shook her head, "That Taylor is an angel proxy, don't ask, I'm about to explain." She stopped Laura from opening her mouth, "It means that she was once the container of an angel. But angels are not like demons. Demons possess the container regardless of its will, but angels will tell the container that it wants to borrow the container's body. The two parties reach a contract and then possess the container... "
"I don't need to know these useless things..." Laura urged.
Will Sissi understand? "And angels don't choose containers randomly. They choose righteous people, just and upright people, such as Camille's current container, Lieutenant Colonel Ike. Upright people will definitely go to heaven in the future and become angels. "
Laura could only shrink back, "Uh, okay, then my brother who also has a contract is an upright person..."
"I didn't say that. Humph, Kyle keeps trying to stop me from telling you who he is. He just wants to hide what he did in Barton. Humph, anyway, you have already had a showdown with Zach. If you have a chance, ask The person involved."
"You..." Laura shut up and stared at Sissi gloomily, "Then!"
"Then, Taylor should have added additional clauses to her own angel contract in order to break through the false memory Zach planted in your brother Kyle's memory, and forcibly removed the sin in your brother's soul, hum. , pulled out."
"Uh, I don't understand..."
"You don't need to understand. All you need to understand is that the angel was not in the Federation at all at that time, and the contract represented by Tyler, the angel, could not be fulfilled. The result was that your brother's soul was pulled out of the contract and wandered around in heaven with the help of his soul. Leaving the body and traversing the soul mark, while breaking through Toledo's memory blockade, your brother became a container for the body to hold the soul that had been forcibly assigned. He is nothing, not a human being, not an undead, It's just a temporary combination of the container and the soul, and it's just something that is temporarily left in this world as an accessory to another contract."
"I do not understand? There’s no need to finish these words, it’s all on Laura’s face.
"Hmph, what's interesting is that your Barton family's advance has cut off your relationship with the church, making it impossible for Taylor to continue to rely on her own contract to help Kyle maintain her soul fixed by her angel contract. Then, Zach began to notice There’s something wrong with Kyle.”
"Zach, Zach knows??"
"No, I don't think he, a vampire, has any deep insights into this kind of soul-related matters, but he at least knows that Kyle has a problem. Otherwise, Alice wouldn't have been able to convince Kyle to accept the help of the guardian angel."
"So Zach is helping my brother?"
"I didn't say that either. Did you meet that guy on the first day? It was probably just a matter of time when things came together 'conveniently'."
"Uh, I still don't understand! Why did I see Kyle floating on the ceiling!" Well, this is probably the reason why Laura is so persistent in asking about Kyle's situation.
"Hmph, then you are lucky. You didn't see your brother floating directly to heaven. Tsk." He glanced at Laura and said, "Don't worry, the guardian angel can make a new contract with Kyle, and he will do well..."
It looks like this group is about the same. The last group.
Caesar rocking his body with headphones on.
But let's break down Caesar's little trick. The Walkman in his pocket wasn't even turned on!
Caesar's eyes looked back and forth between the three groups of people, with a look of enjoyment on his face. This life is not in vain, this life is not in vain~(.)
