Chapter 5 - Chapter 5: Confrontation

"Thank you."i said to Ellen.

"For what?" she looked at me.

"You stood up for me when people didn't believe in me."

"It's natural, i won't allow you just get embarrassed, just because you are now gentle."

"Do i have that many enemy?"

"Believe me you used to be a big jerk, who picks on everyone,but now you might just be the most gentle student in the entire academy."

"Then let's join the rest of our classmates in the general hall."

"Sure, i don't mind."

Heading straight towards the general hall, we saw the president and our classmates all coming out of the hall.

"What's wrong, you guys?"

"They said any class that missed the call today, should come back tomorrow."

"Really?"

"Yes, i even tried telling them that we had an important issue to discuss, but they ignored me."

A student walked up to me.

"Ren, please help our class, if they see you, they will definitely answer our class."

"Yes, that's true."

"No one want's to go against the Oswald family."

The students all agreed i should help the class.

"Ren, can you please help us?" The president asked, looking at me.

"I don't know if they will allow me, but i can try to...."

"No Ren won't be helping." Ellen cut me off.

They all looked at her, rage was written all over their faces.

"What are you talking about?" the president asked her.

"You all know that you can't even talk to the old Ren, but now that he is now gentle, you want to start using his status for yourselves, it's not right." she said boldly.

Some of the student sank in, while some were still angry, their noise started growing, the president had to stop them.

"You all should calm down, once we enter the class, we would vote."

"Yes!" they all said.

Arriving at the class, Ren went back to his seat, while the rest of the class were trying to decide by voting, at the end the majority of the class votes for Ren to stand up for them, he agreed and asked the president and Ellen to follow him, they arrived at the general hall, but it was already the third years that were receiving the system.

"That's my big sister's class, i can't go up against the both of them."

"Come on man!, the old Ren does not care about his elder sister's opinion, just go there and tell them, our class must receive our system today."

"Do you even listen to yourself president,if it was the old Ren can you even stand beside him?, but now for your own reasons, you wished you had the old Ren back."

"I am sorry, i wasn't thinking right, i should have stopped these before it got out of hand, i was only trying to check out what super ability i will get."

"Don't worry too much about it prez, i am sorry i am not like the old me, i am sorry i decided to change my ways."

"Don't worry about it, you should just calm down and continue to live like these."

I smiled but no one noticed.

"Well then let's head back."

"Okay."

We entered the class, the president asked everyone to wait until tomorrow.

Since we have nothing to do, i walked out of the classroom, Julius also followed me.

We reached the school's sport center.

"So, who are you?" i asked julius.

"I see you have settled in quite well."

"That voice,007 is that you?"

"Yes i wanted to see how well you are blending into these unknown era, so i took possession of these body."

"I see, so that information, should i assume?"

"Yes i got it for you, i don't know why you are these cautious about a power upgrade, humans are the weakest of all races, yet they possess wisdom that greatly surpasses their strength,so why wouldn't they jump to the opportunity of gaining strength beyond their imagination."

I sighed while looking at Julius's body.

"That's why i worry, who is ready to give the whole planet these type of power."

"Guardians like us must not interfere in the plans of the lower world, we can only seat and watch."

"Then these information you are giving me?"

"Is my last farewell gift to you, live a long life, and you might one day become that true essence of your existence, after today Julius won't always be by your side, these memory will all be forgotten."

"Wait before you go, i have a question."

"What's that?"

"These system is it from the constellation's?"

"Now why should i answer that?, didn't you hear that i can't interfere with the plans of the lower world."

"Then answer my question, it's not like you can't answer it."

"What, how did you know?"

"I figured you might have sacrificed something of equal value to gain access into our world for 12 hours, the more you reveal the lesser time you have, and now that your time is up,just let it burn in one glow."

"You are definitely a strange one." 

"I have been told that in the past."

"Yes, that which you asked about, your answer is yes."

"I see, anyway thank you."

"Sure, i will be looking after you from above, and do not forget your one main reason why you are here."

With his last word, a shining light left Julius's body.

The constellation's, they have been existing before the formation of the universe, they predate time and space, they aren't just your regular gods, they are powerful, i wonder how much strength i had then, that made me look like a threat to them.

Julius finally gained his memory back, looked around but couldn't find anyone.

"What am i doing here?"

In the afternoon, after i got home, i quickly picked the flash drive 007 gave to me, i inserted it into my laptop.

"What do we have here?" i said checking every possible file.

Suddenly a knock was heard from my door.

"Who is there?"

"Master Ren, lady Tanya said she would be in your room 2 minutes 12 seconds from now."

"What big sis is coming to my room." i said shutting down my laptop

"Yes, so i want to clean your room before she enters."

I already cleaned my room, i have forgotten i have maids.

"Don't worry about my room for now, where is my sister?"

"She is on her way here."

Okay looks like i am good to go.

"Fine let her in."

The door opens, Tanya walks in, and observed the room for sometime, then she finally sat on my bed.

"Good afternoon sis!"

"Hello, i am going straight to my point."

What now?,Did she figure me out?, i swallowed hard.

"Okay."

"Why did your class miss today's event?"

"We were not there." i replied with a straight face.

"Ren, i know you planned all these."

"What!, why would you say such a thing?"

"Ever since i told you about the system i sensed your aura changing, dad as always thought you how to change aura between brain and brawn, the aura you release when you are thinking or planning is very calm, but when you are going all force no brain, your aura is always heavy, after noticing your change i started to keep an eye on you today."

She definitely saw me.

"So what do you think?"

"Ren, you pick up on tiny information people always tends to overlook, when i saw you i know something is not right, so i also did not accept the system into my body."

She is a sharp one.

"Okay here is the truth, i am having a feeling that these system isn't going to be as helpful as it claims to be, firstly what are the possibilities that these system isn't going to be some kind of mind manipulation tactics by some shady organisation."

"I see, so you think there is a chance that, the introduction of something like these is abnormal."

"Yes, but i am not fully sure, if it has more advantage than disadvantage i won't go against it, but if i smell trouble i won't hold back."

"Well then, how do you plan on solving these?"

"I should be fully prepared before dinner."

"Great, then i will be expecting good news."

"Yes." 

She left my room, without saying another word, and i finally slumped on my bed.

I guess i kind of saw these coming, but what type of strategy would i come up with before dinner, i made my whole class miss the system intentionally, everything that happened today was all according to my plan, but now i need to find the secret behind 007's message and what those old geezers are planning.
