Sun and Sword are both soaking themselves in a hot spring.

Sunz: Does it always take that much effort and awkwardness to take this bath?

Sword: Do you think it's worth it?

Sunz: It..does! *sinking his body in the hot spring*

Sword: Once you do this many times, all there's left is the reward.

Sunz: yeah, I guess you are right. Is this like one of those onsen in Japan?

Sword: This is a Japanese onsen.

Sunz: hah.

…

Sword: It's been quite a while, you think you’ll wake up soon?

Sunz: How should I know? You have the knowledge of how long time has passed.

Sword: You’re right, but I’m not gonna check it.

Sunz: Well, it doesn’t bother me that much. All I can do is relax.

“Never seen you exposing yourself this much and it makes me wonder. Your body is somehow familiar to me but more muscular. I thought you were supposed to be bigger than me.”

“Is this your real body? Because the first time we met you used my body.”

Sword: This is my body. For that introduction, the best way for you to know what is going on is you explaining to yourself. Got it?

Sunz: yeah?

Sword: Good enough. So how old are you?

Sunz: uhh… 16 turns 17 later this year.

Sword: You're still young, wait until 18 then you’ll see some development. Plus, if you are not going into other fields then you’ll probably be like me when you are 20.

Sunz: Wait what, my 20, isn’t that a bit too soon? I thought you had really good strength.

Sword: You reach my physique at 20, my strength never. Also, my strength is not top-tier or anything. I spent most of my time traveling and my fight is my training.

“Violet is definitely stronger than me in strength. She worked in that place all her life so it makes sense.”

Sunz: hmmmm…

Sword: What's wrong, something on your mind?

Sunz: Am I a normal human?

Sword: What? Gonna need more information for that.

Sunz: I mean, it seems like I got my power from you and Violet. You have the ability to use Elements and Violet has the ability to understand weapons to use them to their full potential.

Sword: Are you saying that we are the reason you are here?

Sunz: Very likely. I can use and understand Elements the moment I encounter them, it from you. Foreseeing the event of what a sword can do, that from Violet.

Sword: And that bothers you in some way?

Sunz: Kind of. It feels like, without you I’m nothing.

Sword: It’s pretty common, don’t you think so?

Sunz:… How?

Sword: Those who are ordinary or unfortunate are given a chance to prove themselves. We just can’t control whether their actions will be bad or good.

Sunz: I kinda get what you mean.

Sword: So don’t worry too much about this stuff. You ignored me for years, so let’s call that your handy cap.

Support the creativity of authors by visiting the original site for this novel and more.

Sunz: haha. It seems, you can communicate with me at any time but you choose to ignore me for those years too.

Sword: Yeah, there wasn’t anything happen with your life so I don’t know what to do except wait.

Sunz: I guess we are both at fault… but I kinda also want my own ability that is not from you two.

Sword: I mean don’t you already have one? Sure, those skills you listed before might not be from you, but your mind needs something to overclock itself.

“You are definitely not the fastest or strongest but your range of utilizing the Elements is beyond my capability.”

“When you bring up the headache, I thought it would be just a normal overthinking but after reviewing that memory… yeah, even I can’t process that much information in my head. Seeing millions of sword patterns and thinking up ways to counter them, that’s not a normal feat.”

Sunz: I thought that was normal.

Sword: So, it seems you have a bigger brain than you thought, the only problem is it is not in the right place.

Sunz: Yeah, would have made tests a lot easier.

Sword: You students always have such niche abilities.

Sunz: So what should I name this ability?

Sword: Name?

Sunz: Yeah, if you are born with an ability that no one has then you can name it.

Sword: Interesting, call it ‘Overthink’, a simple name.

Sunz:… sure why not.

Sword: Well, it's about time for the next activity. Go and dress up.

Sunz: Ok, but where are we going next?

Sword: You know it when you see it.

…

*After a while of drying and putting on new clothes*

Sword: Still wearing the same outfit?

Sunz: I’m used to this now, ok. Your outfit is pretty casual.

Sword: Yeah, let’s go.

*Sword teleports Sunz and himself to an unexpected location*

“Here we are.”

Sunz looks around and sees a lot of people this time, some are lining up to buy tickets and food, and some are just standing around.

“hah, we are at a movie theater… didn’t expect this.”

Sword: More like you can’t expect anything. Wait a bit, I’m contacting Violet right now… done, she coming in a bit. You want to grab anything?

Sunz: No, I’m fine.

Sword: Ok then, I’ll grab some for myself. So wait here.

*Sword leaves and Violet appears*

Violet: Hey kid, where’s Sword?

Sunz: Oh, he went to get some food.

Violet: Got it… you still wearing the same outfit?

Sunz: So are you.

Violet: This is my most comfortable outfit.

Sunz: Comfortable? With that many layers.

Violet: I wear this all my life so yeah, it’s comfortable to me. What about you, I thought you had other outfits?

Sunz: I don’t know. I think, I’ve been wearing this for a few days and my body already got used to it.

Violet: Interesting. So whose memory are we watching?

Sunz: Memory?

Violet: Yeah, you really thought we were gonna watch a real movie… well we actually can if the memory we are watching does have a movie.

Sunz: That is kinda cool… wait doesn’t that mean-

Violet: No, all of the things you do with your body and with your lover and or sidepiece are not in there.

Sunz: That’s reassuring, but how do know I was going to ask that?

Violet: No one wants to be watched pleasuring themselves by other people… but for some reason, if you watched porn we can watch it, just without you there.

Sunz: hah……… how do you know the other person is doing it with their lover and or sidepiece, if there…is no…memory?

Violet: Usually, when you and the other person are onscreen and it suddenly goes black then it later returns with you two naked and are heavy on breath. We know what you did.

Sunz: So it starts then skip to the end.

Violet: Well, not skip, it's just a blank screen until the two of you done fucking. Sword has to edit the memory to skip that blank part, and we even have a gallery of how long each blank was.

Sunz: That is more interesting than I thought. So what is the longest blank you have?

Violet: Ahhhh, well most of the longest blank are all girls, there are a few boys at the top. But there is one unfair instance of a girl stabbing the boy to transfer her energy into him to keep going. At that point do we still count that?

Sunz: I mean, that counts because you need two people to have sex. Also, I want to hear how that happens.

Violet: ok then, he's currently has the longest blank. So like usual, memory of him and this girl in the room together, it goes blank, we know what happens next. Then the memory returns with the girl sitting on top of his naked body with a dagger in her hand.

“They exchange conversation which I don’t want to remember, while the girl has the lustiest look on her face then she stabs him with the dagger and blank again. That situation could have turned into a good assassination.”

“And I must say that girl has way, way too much stamina. Their first round was already in the top 10 but round 2 put the rest to shame.”

Sunz: They must have many kids.

Violet: Oh they do, always twin for some reason and half half too.

Sword returned: Hey, you’re here. What are you two talking about?

Violet: Explain to him that this is not a movie theater and telling him about the ‘Two Round’ couple.

Sword: Oh them, so many blanks. I like that couple and the girl… she carried that journey.

“Here Violet, this is your popcorn.”

Violet grabs one of the popcorn buckets from Sword: Thanks. So whose memory are we watching today?

Sword: A mystery.

Violet: Well, it’s always a mystery when you don’t know anyone here.

Sunz: So Sword, question. Are all of the memories in first person?

Sword: Of course and we can also zoom out to get a better view.

Sunz: This dream place is way more fancy than thought.

Sword: Well, its fanciness depends on how many memories you have in here. When there were only my and Violet’s memory this place was quite blank.

“But enough talk let’s watch one of these student memories. Follow me.”

After walking for a bit, they reached their room and settled down in their seat. Sword sits in the middle of the group with Sunz and Violet to his left and right.

Sunz: So are we going to watch someone's memory like from the start?

Sword: Of course not, that will take way too long. Instead, we are watching the important events of their life.

Violet: If we have nothing to do with you students, then we do watch the whole memory. Just skip all of the sleep moments.

Sword: Ok, are you two ready?

Sunz: Yeah.

Violet: Let’s start the show.
