Lith’s dorm, Abalx sky island.
Lith was in a melancholic mood as he got out of the bathroom. He slumped on the bed and thought to himself:
‘Sigh. This same thing has happened in my previous life too. Just when I proposed to a girl and got into a relationship with her, she left the city because of her father’s transfer. In the end, the relationship ended because long distance didn’t work out for us.
The relationship I have right now with my teacher is not the same like with the girl from previous life; I for sure know that she won’t end the relationship with me. Distance or time is a concept that doesn’t matter to an immortal. But, just getting into one and her leaving, man… It sucks.’
Lith took out his headphones from his ring, wore them and started listening to music. He played some anime openings and tried to have his mood lightened up.
Principal’s Office, Main Building.
Bam!
The door of Emilia’s office slammed open and Arya walked inside happily. Emilia frowned, noticing someone intruding rudely but when she saw it was Arya, her frown was gone.
Arya went over to Emilia who was sitting on the chair and spun her around after raising her up. Emilia was surprised after witnessing such a sudden action from Arya, however before she could resist or protest, she heard Arya saying,
“Emmmyyyyyy! I am soooo happpyyyy! Hahahahaha!” Arya said cheerfully.
“Let me down! Let me down!” Emilia struggled and said, instead of asking Arya what she was so happy for.
Arya spun her around a few more times while laughing cheerfully and finally let Emilia down. She then said to her with a smile, “my last step is complete. It’s time for a breakthrough!”
Emilia gasped in surprise. She couldn’t believe what she was hearing and thus she asked, “did you–”
“Not now, Emmy. I’ll explain everything to you later in detail. I have a lot of work to do. Just listen to what instructions I have for you and I’ll take my leave quickly.”
Arya interrupted Emilia and said. She was short on time and had to leave quickly. Her ascension was closing in on her and if she didn’t find a secluded place sooner, she would have her breakthrough happen at this place itself. This would lead to a disaster and Arya wouldn’t want that to happen.
Just as she had mentioned, Arya instructed Emilia on many things that were needed to be done and taken care of. It didn’t take a lot of time for her to instruct Emilia since she did a soul transmission to her. It took just a minute and Arya left after doing so, without waiting for Emilia’s reply.
Emilia stared at the empty space in front of her in amusement and in daze. Everything happened too suddenly. Arya walked in, dumped responsibilities on her and left.
However, Emilia didn’t hate her for it. She could understand her and where she was coming from. On top of that, it was really difficult for Emilia to hate someone. Sure she may dislike a few people but hate was a strong word for her. She wasn an angel and she wouldn’t hate anyone easily for it. She was very kind hearted.
Emilia sighed after getting so many responsibilities from Arya. She had to do so many things apart from being the principal and it was so tiring. She doesn’t get paid enough for this!

Lucas’s dorm, sky island.
Lucas, the black-haired, black-eyed, ordinary looking teen was sitting on his study table and was drawing on his tablet with a stylus and was looking at the monitor in front of him. He was drawing the map of the upcoming survival tournament area and was plotting things.
“Man, I don’t even remember things. It’s so hard. Anyway, at least the certain events were flashy enough for me to remember and I’ll just have to take advantage of it.” Lucas said while drawing.
He continued to draw and make plans for the future while munching on a few pieces of fruit that were present on the side.
….
Few hours passed.
Lith’s dorm, sky island.
Lith, Ralph and Dennis were sitting on the sofa in the living room of the ground floor and were having tea together. It was afternoon, meaning tea time for the trio. Lith influenced his habit onto Ralph and Dennis and they too, like him, everyday came downstairs for tea without fail.
Lith’s mood was slightly better now. He felt a bit melancholic previously but now it was all gone. Sure Arya may have gone, but it was only temporary. She would come back in a few months, just like she had said and Lith wasn’t worried that she would go back on her words. Thus, Lith’s mood got better after a while and here he was, having tea with his friends.
“Ralph, do you wanna know a fun fact?” Dennis sipped tea and asked Ralph, in a serious tone.
Lith and Ralph both turned their attention to Dennis hearing the seriousness in his tone. Such seriousness really seemed out of place from him and the two therefore looked at him.
Previously, there were two sofas and a rectangular glass table in the middle of them. The trio had to sit together or at least two of them needed to be together on one sofa while they hung out. This was a bit problematic.
Dennis wanted to lie down on the sofa and play games in the free time and he couldn’t do so, since Ralph would usually sit with him. And sitting with Lith and doing it was out of the question for him. Lith was his prince, he wouldn’t do such a stupid thing around him.
Thus, Dennis racked his brain and brought two sofa seats and placed them opposite to each other at the rectangular glass table’s side. The glass table now had two sofas and two seats surrounding it.
Dennis was sitting on the sofa, Ralph on one seat and Lith on the other. Hearing Dennis’s question, the two sitting on the sofa seat turned their heads to look at him.
Dennis cleared his throat after watching the two look at him curiously. He looked Ralph dead in the eyes and said with all seriousness,
“Ralph… Do you know…”
Ralph looked at him with the same seriousness and asked, “I know what?”
Lith could feel the seriousness building up. Dennis sure was onto something, he felt.
Dennis maintained his seriousness and continued,
“So do you know…”
“…”
“…”
Lith and Ralph both stared at him and waited for him to finish. Their curiosity piqued due to Dennis’s build up. Now they were really curious as to what he was going to say.
Dennis noticed that the two were itching to know what he wanted to say. He maintained his seriousness and said,
“Every sixty seconds in Espat… A minute passes.”
Crack!
Cracks formed on the saucer Ralph was holding and veins popped on his head due to anger.
Noticing this, Dennis quickly dashed out of the living room and ran towards the arena in the backyard.
“YOU IDIOTTT!” Ralph yelled and ran behind him.
All of this seriousness and build up was for such a thing? Ralph felt his valuable time was wasted for no reason at all and chased Dennis to teach him a lesson.
This was Dennis’s plan. He wanted to battle but asking Ralph to do it would just mean him getting rejected. Ralph always did the school homework at this time of the day and he knew he wouldn’t agree to such a thing. Thus he resorted to pulling a prank on him.
Lith had a completely different reaction than Ralph. He giggled, noticing Dennis’s prank. He could tell what Dennis was planning and internally commended him for his genius plan. He finished his tea and putting it down, he went over to the arena to join in on the fun together with them.
