'Well, not exactly. These individuals are excessively full of themselves and wouldn't even bat an eye at a criminal, especially one from the outside like .'
Those who looked my way were either driven by curiosity or the need to mock, often choosing an 'easy' target like myself. Even so, they seed hesitant to go further, perhaps because I hailed from the Olphean House, albeit not from the main branch, making Lydia's son in their eyes.
Celeste's voice brought back to the present. "This is the cafeteria, and there's plenty of space for everyone, so don't hesitate to find a seat!" Her smile was warm. "As for the food, we have so of the best chefs working here, representing various races. Trust , it's delicious. You should definitely eat here tomorrow, right Victor?"
Victor nodded in agreent. "Absolutely. By the way, I usually sit at that table." He pointed to a round table in a distant corner of the hall. "If you need any help or just want so company, feel free to join ."
Celeste chid in playfully, "I doubt anyone will take you up on that offer."
"Hey! I'm not that much of an eater!" Victor protested, triggering laughter from the surrounding students.
The laughter resonated oddly within , and in an instant, I found myself seated at one of the tables of the cafeteria.
'My' gaze was on the very table Victor had pointed out.
Around it were Victor, Celesta, and two other Heroines, all engaged in lively conversation and shared laughter.
My gaze hardened, and a twisted smile crept across my face.
"Ha…" My eyes blinked, and suddenly I was back where I had been, standing slightly apart from the group that was engrossed in Celeste and Victor's words.
What I had experienced was a mory from the '' of the Second Ga.
Edward Falkrona, a character I had played in the Second Ga, had left the school before the year concluded, wreaking havoc in the Enigma Dungeon that ultimately led to the death of a Heroine. Edward would eventually flee the Kingdom of Celesta and find his way to Sancta Vedelia.
In the Second Ga, the Olphean House didn't exist, which ant that my mother and sister were deceased at this point in ti.
Following Brandon Delavoic's demise at the hands of Jayden and the Heroines, Edward Falkrona assud leadership of Ante-Eden. Later, he would adopt a new identity and infiltrate the Trinity Eden Academy in Sancta Vedelia, altering his appearance slightly...
I looked at my own reflection in a nearby window.
Edward Falkrona of the Second Ga shared my dark hair and amber eyes. He was the [Main Antagonist] of the [Second Ga], responsible for the destruction of Sancta Vedelia.
Shaking my head slightly, I exhaled deeply.

Are those dreams so sort of hallucinations? Similar to those I was forced to witness by that voice when I was seven?
It's an uncomfortable sensation.
I can feel the hatred and twisted thoughts of that person during these hallucinations, and it's like they're rging with my mories.

'It's nothing... you know, Cleenah, sotis I feel like I don't really belong to either of my life's worlds.'

I don't even know what I'm talking about.
"Are you alright?"
It was Victor's voice.
Clearing away my complicated expression, I turned to face him. "Yeah."
"If it's about what Allen said, you'll probably get used to it," Victor said with a bitter smile. "He calls a Half too, if that's any consolation."
"Doesn't that make you want to, I don't know, punch him out?" I asked.
Victor chuckled at my words and nodded. "You'd think so, right? But every ti, I restrain myself for my family's sake. I don't want to create more problems for them..."
"You should go back, your friend doesn't seem thrilled about you being here," I pointed out.
Victor glanced over at Celeste and nodded. "Just let know if you need anything. Well, you're a Great Noble as well, so I doubt you'll need my help, but I'm here."
Seeing Victor's grin, I asked out of curiosity, "Why would you want to help ? You heard your senior. I'm a criminal. I killed soone, which is why I've been exiled to this place."
Victor smiled at my words. "You might have your own reasons, but I won't judge soone solely based on that... After all, I've also taken a life."
"So, you're a criminal too," I noted.
Victor scratched his head. "It's more complicated than that, but I suppose you could say that."
"I see... By the way," I glanced at Celeste. "Do you love her?"
"Huh?" Victor was taken aback by my question.
"I'm asking about Celeste. Do you have feelings for her?"
"Do I love her? Well, she's a great person... But Cyril already loves her, and she's my friend," Victor responded, looking confused by my question.
I couldn't help but smile a bit at his reaction.
He's a far cry from Jayden.
Victor Raven is remarkably mature, and he thinks things through before diving into matters of love or the like. Even now, he doesn't see Celeste as anything other than a friend, simply because his half-brother loves her.
