"Eshwar, why are you.....?"

I heard a man's voice, sobbing.

'Huh?' I snapped open my eyes or at least I tried, but something was blocking me from opening my eyes.

My eyes slowly opened while my eyes was stinging and my right vision was red.

"Hahahahahaha." I laughed, covering my eyes. I raised my index finger and peeked at a demon(?), he was kneeling in front of me, had long red hair, half of his hair from left was cut, a horn protruded from the left side of his forehead, he was bleeding from sword strikes all-over his body and was crying while looking down.

"Why can't you just protect someone, Vinny?" my mouth moved and I spoke in a hoarse tone.

'Vinny!?'

"I.... I was to late, Eshwar." He sobbed while kneeling.

"Tsk, tsk, tsk..... If once, I probably would have agreed with you, but not the second time. Nah, nah, nah..... Cause, I clearly begged you to protect her, didn't I?" I shook my index finger side to side while speaking in a cold tone, I was feeling nothing but rage at his incompetence.

'What's going on?'

"..... So, you're just killing everyone?" He asked as he glared at me while tears still flowing.

"Yes." I felt satisfied as I said those words.

'Why am I feeling satisfied?'

"I definitely warned you that I'll kill everybody, if something happened to her." I giggled.

"So, look, I killed everyone involved." I turned towards my left, I opened my arms like I was displaying something grand. The sun was up and the wall of the room we were in was broken and everything beyond the broken wall was blooded.

'Wh-what?'

There were vehicles crashed, some exploded but every vehicle was blooded, many icicles were seen piercing the head and vitals of every human in view, it looked like a mass massacre had just took place.

"They were innocent people, Eshwar! And you killed them all mercilessly!" Vinny yelled, coughing out blood.

"Hahahaha, of course, didn't they all want her dead?" I said as I looked at him from the corner of my eye, laughing.

"..." Vinny turned silent.

"What's wrong? Don't want to defend them anymore?" I mocked him with a smirk on my face while looking at him from the corner of my eye.

".... Kill me." Vinny said in resolute tone.

"Pfft.... You.... Pfft, hahahahaha..... Did you seriously think I was going keep YOU alive?" I asked him while laughing to my heart content.

"...."

"Sorry, if you expected something, but I didn't say this to keep you alive..... I said this just in case, you regress again, you will keep that in mind." I walked towards him.

"And, to why I killed them is because, I'm not naive enough to keep those who try to take or touch what's mine live." I pointed my index and middle finger at him.

"Choose."

"What?" Vinny asked.

"Because, I once considered you my friend, I'll give you a choice, so choose." I said in cold tone.

"..." he chose the index finger.

"Luckyyyyy. Okay, I'll kill you painlessly because I gave you an option."

SPLURT

I slit his head in half horizontally. I walked towards the broken wall and sat down and looked down, I was about 20 floor above.

"Ah! I now remembered why this was all feeling like Deja Vu." I mumbled.

"Hello Eshwar, Eshwar here, I know you are confused to what's happening but just try to do things right. I don't even know why and what I'm rabbling about, I had a vision of this before, so just to be on the safe side I'm giving myself a warning."

After that my consciousness started to fade.

"It's not like you'll remember this after you wake up anyway."

I slowly opened my eyes and felt a wet sensation near my ear, I touched it and realized I was crying. I stared at the ceiling, it was unfamiliar and uncomfortable. I turned my head and noticed I was in Quinn's office and was laying down on the sofa.

"What happened? I felt like I forgot something very important." I mumbled.

"I remember, but not all of it 'just do it right!'"

'but what should I do right?'

"Hmm... There is no need to rack my brain. I just have do it right."

I relaxed my arms and noticed the 'Machine Parasite' had turned invisible again. After the [Skill: ???] condition completed, the description of the trait was gone and I was able to turn it visible or invisible at my will.

[Trait: MACHINE PARASITE. [Skill: link,....]]

'I even brought a new glove to hide it.'

CLANK

"Oh, you're awake." Quinn walked in, smiling brightly.

"..."

I now remembered what had happened before I lost consciousness, I noticed Quinn's and Isha's presence when the artifact fell on the ground.

"Hm? What happened?" he asked with puzzled expression.

"That's why I say not to trust people so easily." I roared.

"Ok, clam down for now." He said while smiling.

"Calm down my a**, what do you think would have happened if that artifact exploded? Huh?" I yelled.

"..."

"And, why the f**k have hired those incompetent fools? They were running instead of fighting."

"..."

"F**k."

"You done?" He asked with a calm smile on his face.

"Che." I clicked my tongue, stood up and started to walk away.

"Class- 5-1." He said.

"..."

CLANK

I walked out of the office angrily, feeling a cool breeze near my collar bones and walked in the hallway while mumbling the room number repeatedly in my mind.

'5-1, 5-1, 1-5 , no, no, 5-1, 5-1....'

I noticed Isha standing near a classroom, tapping her toes and waiting impatiently.

"Hey! You okay?" I asked while jogging towards her.

"..." She looked at me and tapped the right corner of her lips.

"Hm?" I noticed she was indicating something and wiped the right corner of my lips with my thumb and saw a smudge of blood on my thumb.

"..." Her ears were a little red and her face had turned a bit rosy.

"Done?" I was puzzled why she had that face.

"..." she nodded bashfully, turned back and opened the classroom door.

"Is this 5-1?" I asked but she walked in without answering.

I entered the room, it was sleek and spotless as ever, it was a semi-circular room and six rows of benches cascading up.

I smiled brightly and walked towards the podium.
