At the sight of his smile, coupled with the rising feelings from her mind, she let herself go, smiling beautifully at him.

Coming close to her, Isaac called out, "Alice, was it? A beautiful name, fitting, as well."

Hearing his flattering words, she joked, "How long has it been? A minute at most and you're forgetting my name already?"

Her joking words didn't seem to affect Isaac in any way, however, he only continued smiling, replying to her a short while after.

"You're beautiful."

After processing his words, his ears turned red, not wanting him to speak his mind. Although it wasn't false, it was extremely cheesy.

He didn't even know why he said it. However, in the back of his mind, he knew.

The addicting feeling was turning his mind to mush. He didn't know what the overwhelming feeling he had towards her was.

However, even if it was a lie, he felt his body, soul, and mind gratified with her presence.

From their quick bond, he could only hope she felt the same.

Even if the feeling was completely deceiving him, he wanted it to be real.

Although that doesn't mean he'll let it control his actions.

'Did I let my guard down? Why am I acting like a docile kitten?' Isaac's mind firmed, a goal, ever since the village, was to never be toyed with.

With his cautious nature, he swore that he wouldn't let it take control of him.

Alice, however, also had reddened cheeks, and she herself, didn't know why.

'Is he just that handsome? No... well...'

Her thoughts, mixed and juggled all around, didn't help either.

In Isaac's eyes, the deep contrast between her red cheeks, flushed face, and her bright, blue hair and eyes, caused his heart rate to rise.

'Fuck! Did she use witchcraft on me or something? What is this feeling?'

As if he was drowning, he couldn't think properly either.

"I-I think you're handsome as well..."

With her voice quieting down at the end, she responded meekly.

"Want to go out sometime?" Responding as strong headed as he could, he built up the courage to ask her out.

Looking into his eyes, she replied, "S-sure."

An average looking boy, looking at them, thought, 'What type of bullshit dream am I living in?'

Booking an inn, Isaac quickly entered his newly bought room.

The room was extravagant, with wood that seemed freshly cut, and well taken care of furniture, the room had not much to complain about.

However, his attention, since the start, wasn't on the room.

Sitting down on the couch, letting his head fall backwards, resting on the couch, he thought,

'What was that? That wasn't me.'

"System, can you feel my emotions?"

[...Slightly, yes, as I am connected to your soul.]

"What was that feeling earlier, then?"

[...]

"System?"

[That information is currently restricted. Please, grow stronger, and retrieve the forgotten from the deep abyss.]

"..."

Not liking the response, he sighed. 'Well, at least, she feels the same as me.'

With that thought, another sparked, 'How is it that we feel the same emotion? I've definitely felt extremely charmed to someone in my past life, however, this isn't comparable at all.'

With the thought that even love was less overwhelming, he stopped his thoughts, not wanting to jumble up his mind further.

*Sigh*

With that sigh, that didn't help relax himself and release the stress, he tried to fall asleep.

----

With beautiful features, complimenting her battle armor, she held a body, more specifically, a soul.

Taking him inside a beautiful, white shrine, untainted from the dark horrors of the world, he was brought inside.

Seeing 'him' go, she cried, with tears dripping.

With that, her final words to him were spoken.

"Oh, my beloved..."

----

Inside a lake, a woman with bright, red hair resided.

Sensing an intruder, she finally opened her eyes, although lazily.

Seeing 'him' she came up from deep waters.

Normally, she'd take her time, however, he was in critical condition.

Unfortunately, moments later, 'he' dropped, dead, and hurtfully, in her arms.

----

"Ugh..." Waking up with a headache, Isaac could've sworn he heard a loud voice, as if something whispered to him next to his ear.

Regardless, he was finally going to Cypress Academy tonight.

With that thought, he let go of his worries and dressed accordingly.

With purple robes, something mages wore, he left his inn.

Heading towards the academy, which he knew was at the far right of the capital city, he headed towards the destination.

Walking near, he saw a large group of people lined up to enter, with multiple lines having a dozen people, he walked to the line closest to him.

Today was when people saw their assigned class, which classes they wanted to join, and the schedule for the month.

Along the line he spotted the girl he seemed infatuated with.

Before meeting her again, he wanted to at the very minimum, find out what's going on.

Nonetheless, he didn't want the feeling to dictate his love for a woman.

Regardless, he waited for a couple minutes in line, like everyone else.

Reaching the front of the line and seeing even more people come and pour in, he finally got his chance to check his assigned classroom.

Each classroom was ranked by class:

S-Class

A-Class

B-Class

C-Class

D-Class

In total, there were five classes, with S-Class being the peak of all classes.

Not only did the A and S classes have certain privileges over all the other classes, but they could also leave the academy twice a month, which others could, however, that would be with a mission, and those had a certain time limit.

Of course, you can't the leave the academy forever, but you could leave for a week, two, maximum, which is a great privilege.

Regardless, reaching the front, he was greeted by the instructor at the front of his own line.

"Kiddo, place your watch here, and it'll show you all your information."

Placing the watch on the purple pillar, which matched the academy's color scheme of purple, mana splurged out, forming a purple, translucent screen only he could see.

This was because he was the only one touching his watch, which gave him the ability to see, as he was also being transferred mana.

Seeing the screen it read,
