Chapter 73: One Fallen (2/2)

Sylvie, come over here

My bond juround had a barrier that repelled anything with a mana core or beast core that wasn't permitted to enter It wasn't all that powerful since itsthrough unauthorized I hadwith the knife that was used for authorization, so I wouldn't set off the alarht, if she wasn't attached toit to take the form of wind underneath the soles of 's roof I was on with as th as I couldalher I must've been about 100 meters in the air when I realized that by the trajectory and speed I was traveling, I probably wasn't going to

"HOLD ON, SYLV!"

As the anxiety faded, excite wind that atte tohts away

shi+fting ht underneath me, I turned in midair, and released a roundhouse kick

[Draft Step]

I activated the skill I'd used against Theo that allowedforce of wind to push against my feet Of course, this ti direction ot the outcoot froht towards the rooftop of the building Director Goodsky's office was in

"!!!!!!!!!!!"

Whether it was due to being drunk froet rid of the depressingme in the back ofroar The sensation of flying through the air like this was different from when I rode on Sylvie

Just as I realized that I hadn't quite planned h the air and noisily crashed against several unidentified objects Despite destroying soed to land on my feet As expected of me

"KYU!!!" 'THAT WAS FUN! LET'S DO THAT AGAIN!'

Sylvie hopped in circles aroundfor a second round

Patting the dust off of e of the building, I was able to see a sight I was never able to experience even incity; I seee of the city where isolated clouds floated nearby I continued to besun hit the clouds at an angle that ainst the sun-kissed sky beloas a curtain of serene purple—the atmosphere

"Kyu…" Sylvie propped her head up on the ledge as she gazed silently as well

The word breathtaking wasn't just an expression in this case It was as if Xyrus City was floating on an endless sea of soft ht above That sort of view, that only seemed to be present in fairy-tales, was only h elevation

I took out a anwith it

…

For the tie of the building, I was aleon; for that brief period of time, the world seemed perfect

"Quite the view, isn't it?" a faed voice echoed fro back

"It's my most treasured spot, you know… I come here often when I want to rest my mind," she breathed

"M I'll have to have Tricia coize for that, I'll help as well"

"I heard your battle cry I suspect the whole school will be wondering what happened"

"Haha…" I let out a stifled laugh

"…"

I expected Goodsky to come join us, but instead, she stayed where she was

"You're not going to ask lued to the view of the horizon

"It seelad that you are alive and well" Goodsky's voice was quiet, almost feeble

"I'm well?" I asked myself under h for her to hear, a tinge of sadness evident in my tone

"…"

I looked down at the necklace I was fiddling with It was a small bloodstained slate of raved on that slate was a picture of six lances fornia were the initials:

AT

Tracing the letters with —the sa ancient times in my old world to identify theled past the point of recognition

"…What exactly happened down there, Arthur?" Director Goodsky's voice was hesitant as she asked this

Turning to face her with the best half-s over

"This hat happened," I replied as Goodsky let out a soft gasp with one hand covering her mouth, while the other held the necklace
