An Extra’s POV

781 Controlled Intervention

"Are the two of you perhaps… lovers?" The words of one of Rey's classmates echoed in the air, followed by a bunch of other excited statements and questions from the others. They had wide, sparkling eyes as they asked the shameless question, and Rey watched all of this with a slight sigh of relief—a far cry from his expression the previous time such a question was raised to him.

Right now, he was seated on his chair, surrounded by the students of Class 1-A, and they were practically bombarding him with questions.

Looking beside him, he could see that Lucielle was also going through her own interrogation by the absurdly perverted girls.

Everything was perfectly in place.

'Whew! That was a close one…' Rey thought to himself, his fingers brushing against his lips as he remembered what happened prior to this moment.

Or rather, what was supposed to happen.

'Using [Tempora] to reverse the time of everyone in this classroom was a smart choice. Of course, real time isn't affected, and nothing outside this classroom was subject to the Skill, but still…' Smiling to himself victoriously, he gave himself a nod of satisfaction.

'... I was able to prevent that catastrophe from happening.'

Well, technically, it already happened.

In fact, Rey could still taste Lucielle on his lips, and he couldn't even look at her the same way again—though he wanted to think that it was because of the recency of the incident.

However, none of his classmates—including Lucielle—would have any idea about what had just happened since he reversed their memories as well.

The disadvantage of [Tempora], which was physical touch, was easily resolved by his [Perfect Domain Of The Divine], which spatially made it possible for him to be in contact with everyone at the same time.

Hence, the ease in his Skill's use.

'I could have taken a lot less complicated route to prevent this, but… sigh… I guess being back in school sort of does this to me.' With all of that going on his mind, he had to find a way to address the mob that was circling him, while also hurling questions at him. If he let things continue like this, then it wouldn't be long before 'The Question' was asked.

Fortunately for Rey, he already knew what to do about this.
