Chapter 29 - Mirrors of the Past

"What an odd dream," Rena said as she sat on her bed.

As she got up, she felt a presence. Instinctively, Rena jumped off her bed, summoning her staff.

"Who is there?" she asked, but there was no reply.

"Not going to answer, right?" Rena said before putting her staff to the ground

"Search," Rena said, her eyes glowing white. She scanned the room and spotted a black shadow moving through the corners

"Got you" Rena charged as she held her staff in her hand

"Split and Transform" As Rena said that, he long staff separated to form a slick short dagger and a medium looking staff

As Rena charged, she kicked the figure, who blocked her strike with one hand.

Grabbing her leg, the figure spun her around and slammed her into the table.

Rena said, "Titum"

Light orbs shot out, flashing into the figure's eyes.

 Rena said, "Eilo," teleporting behind him and kicking him in the face.

As the figure flew, the figure responded calmly, "Aito," as fire spun around it before charging at Rena.

"Wiko" Rena generating ice formed a wall blocking the impact of the fire

As Rena breath, she carefully analyzed the situation

Rena thought, 'Why has Purge not reacted? Even the students… This is all strange.'

The figure gently walked up to her.

"Hey, let me ask you something: Is this your sub space?" Rena asked as brows furrowed

The figure nodded slightly before doing something catching Rena off guard

"Eilo", the figure teleported arriving behind Rena kicking her into the wall

The figure discarded the sword and staff, assuming a fighting stance.

"Oh" Rena said as she smiled faintly

Rena disposed her weapons too taking on a fighting stance too

Both moved at remarkable speed striking each other in the face but Rena was slightly faster, as the blow met hers, Rena spun turning her strike into a kick to the figure torso

The figure and Rena flew as both hit the wall but the figure looked to take more damage.

Rena stood up, so as the figure.

As both walked towards each other calmly, the figure shot Rena an unexpected grin

Startled for a second, the figure charged at Rena aiming to throw its mage weapon a her as Rena dodged aiming for the figure with her dagger

The figure smirked as I allowed her stab its hand with her dagger before flipping her over.

As Rena crashed hard on the floor, the figure put its staff over Rena neck.

The figure wore a white robe with a strange design as the figure's face was not shown

"Do you yield?" the figure asked

Rena knowing her situation answered calmly "Yes"

The figure irritated spoke up "You are weak, I can hardly believe"

"I don't understand"

The figure removed its hood to reveal its face

Seeing the figure remove its hood, Rena stared back in horror

Standing before her was a younger version of herself. As I looked back, it scoffed in irritation

"I can't believe I am this weak"

The younger version of Rena picked up the dagger she had been stabbed with, as if fate had left it there.

"See you later bitch" the younger version said as she stabbed Rena

*ACK*

Rena sprang from her bed clutching her chest. Sweat ran through her body, soaking her dress.

'Just a dream' Rena said as she tried to keep herself calm

"Master what is wrong?" Purge said rushing in Rena chambers to check on her

Rena still in shock, her mind racing, her heart tightening could not hear them, their voices echoing like background voice

'Just a dream, just a dream'

'Yet it was so real'

After some time, Rena recollected herself before speaking up

"Nothing is the matter, please go back to your post"

After an awkward minute of silene each member of purge returned to their duty post

"You made the right decision"

"Anyone hearing this would think you have finally lost it" a figure said in a mockingly tone

Rena did not reply. Standing across the room was a figure dressed in all white, having a strange symbol.

The figure features were dazzlingly with most mistaking it for that of a demigod

"I can't believe what this is" Rena said holding her head in agony

"Why am I still seeing me" Rena asked

He younger version of Rena smiled innocently answering "You are not yet done with me".
