The Author's POV

Chapter 241

'What did she just say?'

For a second I didn't know how to respond. My mind blanked out.

"Did I mishear? Are you saying that you're dropping out of the academy?"

"Mhm. You didn't hear wrongly."

Amanda calmly nodded her head.

"Haaaa..."

Leaning back on the bench, I looked at the blue sky above.

'How did it come to this...'

No, I knew exactly why it had come to this. I just didn't want to say it.

To be honest, I didn't know what to do. There was no solution to her problem.

No matter how much I tried to wrap my head around the problem, I couldn't think of a solution for her current predicament.

Saving her father from the demon world was not something I could do with my current abilities.

Unlike Immorra where I more or less knew the circumstances there, I knew nothing about the demon world.

Furthermore, the place was far more dangerous than Immorra. No scheme or trickery would ever help me in that place. I knew my limits.

Perhaps if I chose to hole up myself there I might be able to survive...

But that would be granted I had enough food and water for myself. If not, I'd die of starvation or dehydration before the third cataclysm arrived and the gate that connected the worlds opened up.

"Are you not going to ask me why?"

Amanda asked as she interrupted my thoughts.

"You must have your reasons, no?"

A bitter smile appeared on my face as I responded.

I already knew the reason why she was acting like that. I didn't want to ask too much.

No one liked it when someone asked too many questions. I didn't want to seem too invasive.

Especially since this had something to do with her father.

"Have you told the others?"

As such, I decided to change the topic.

"No, you're the first"

Amanda shook her head.

"I see..."

Hearing what Amanda had to say, somehow, a part of me felt happy.

I knew that she didn't mean anything special by telling me that I was the first person she told the news of her dropout as it could've just been because I was the first person she properly talked to for the past few weeks, but...

I was still happy.

Not sure why, but it made me feel better.

"What are you going to do about Emma? She's probably going to be in for the shock of her life"

I said as a thought suddenly struck me.

Without a doubt, Emma would lose her mind once she found out about this news.

"Can you help me keep it a secret? At least not until the tournament ends."

Amanda suddenly bit her lips, as her fists curled into a ball.

"...I want to tell her personally"

"I can do that."

I nodded my head slightly.

Not once did I plan on telling Emma the news. Given her personality, she would go on a small rampage which I wasn't too keen on being a part of.

"Thank you."

"Don't worry about it"
