Christopher's POV

Elia started crying again, and although we tried to calm him down, we failed

"I'm sure he must have cheated..."

Katarina was talking to Edward

Edward rubbed his forehead with his hands and seemed to be suffering from a headache. "It's really strange. The test will be repeated tomorrow...."

"Wait, Edward..." I protested

But Edward interrupted me, "Christopher.....don't tell me you don't find it fishy...."

"This…" I couldn't deny it

Edward turned towards Elia who was sitting next to the ground while Ren and Sia tried to calm him down, "Look at him, he's been acting strange since he got here until now, and even his appearance has changed... You realize that those noble families wouldn't be satisfied with this result under these conditions, so it is best to silence all dissenting voices, by re-testing…."

He was logical, I realize that re-testing is the best option

But I'm still worried, if Elia gets a lower score in the second test, that means he cheated in the first test, and that might be used against him.

I helped Elia up, and we quickly left

As I headed toward the door, I saw different expressions on the faces of those present

There were those who were angry, and there were those who were confused or surprised by this event

But Princess Sia's smiling face worried me the most

She looks at Elia and looks like a child looking at her favorite toy

I knew this princess was up to something

When we got to elia's room, he asked me to leave, because he needed some privacy

I hesitated for a while, but left in the end, I think he needs time to regain control of his feelings

After Christopher left the room, Thomas focused the Vitae energy inside Elia's body until he entered the orb

--------- ------------ ----------- ---------- ------------ -------------

Kepler and Thomas sit in front of me, and I stand in front of them

And I rub my forehead from the headache, "Then let me make sure I understand what you are saying…." I took a deep breath, "You are saying that Thomas' soul is seriously injured, which makes his feelings unstable and he can enter into severe crying and depression.... ."

"That's right..." Kepler nodded.

Baam

I slammed the table hard "And you two kept it from me this whole time..." I looked at Kepler annoyed "You told me that Thomas is depressed because he can't see his family..."

"This…." Kepler was embarrassed and didn't dare look me in the eye. "You were in a precarious position, Daniel. You looked worried, frightened, so it seemed to me that your knowledge of the fact that Thomas was hurt and couldn't control his emotions might hurt you."

"But that is not reason enough for you to lie to me…."

Thomas got up from his seat. "It was I who made this suggestion. My soul was hurt when I faced the shadow to buy enough time for you and Kepler to escape to the orb… I'm sorry I lied to you…."

My expression softened upon hearing his words, and my anger disappeared, "No, it should be me who is apologizing, it was all because of me, I…."

"No, Daniel, I am so grateful to you for saving Kepler. He is not only my master, he is like my father. I know Alexander would not have let him go so easily, but you saved him…."

An awkward silence settled over the place

Kepler broke the silence. "So where have you been, Thomas?..."

"I was controlling Elia's body…."

Kepler and I looked at each other and then at Thomas

I was the first to say, "How did you manage to control him?..."

Thomas was also confused. "I don't know either. I I suddenly woke up and found myself controlling Elia's body. I thought your soul was injured and went into a state of hibernation..."

"No, my soul was not injured..."

"Then what caused this change in Elia's appearance…"

"This…" I hesitated momentarily to tell them what I had seen

Even I didn't know exactly what I saw

Was it another nightmare? Or did the orb transport me to another world?

But what is the reason for changing the color of my hair and eyes?

I finally decided to tell them what I knew. Kepler and Thomas were shocked when they heard of me finding the orb in my room, and of the world it had transported me to.

Kepler looked at Thomas. "Isn't the orb inside this body, how did it come out all of a sudden?..."

Thomas did not reply but was clearly trying to find an explanation for this event

Thomas closed his eyes and opened them after a few moments, "I don't know anything about this world you are talking about. There are different worlds and dimensions, but this is the first time I hear about the existence of such a world...."

"Worlds and Dimensions…." I held my breath when I heard Thomas' words

"That's right, there are countless worlds…."

I became excited "Does this mean we can go back to our original world…"

"Unfortunately, there is no way to open a passage between worlds. There is some kind of wall that isolates the dimensions from each other, and the orb is the only entity I know of that is able to move between worlds…."

"But… we can use the orb to teleport to our world…" I didn't want to give up

The idea of returning to my original world was very tempting

Why should I stay in this savage world, where there are demons, vampires, monsters, dragons, and giants

I want to escape to a place where there are no such dangers

If I can return to my original world, even dragons, who are the strongest beings, will not be able to chase me because they cannot cross the barrier between dimensions.

But Thomas dashed my hopes. "The orb has transferred our souls to this world. If you want to return to our original world, it will only transfer your soul…"

I remained silent, that being a soul without a body is something I do not want, do I like to become a spirit inhabiting a house? This sounds like a ghost story

Thomas continued, "Besides, we don't know how to open inter-dimensional gates , and even if we did, how are we supposed to know the location of our home world? You must know the coordinates of the world before you go to it, otherwise you will be teleported to another world. different from what you want..."

My desire to return to my original world seemed impossible

Kepler tried to cheer me up, "Don't be sad, Daniel, you have no connection with that world anymore...."

He's right, I lost my family, the police suspect me of a murderer and are chasing me everywhere

I decided to forget about it and got up, "I have to leave now, I have an exam..."

But Thomas stopped me with an embarrassed look on his face, "This…..Actually, I took the exam for you…."

"..." What did that guy just say?

"What?…" I asked him to confirm what I had heard
