Field trip.
Have you ever thought.
What if life was death and death was life.
Why do we live life. What is the point of transcending and breaking barrier after barrier if it continues towards the infitinte. Going after lands through lands. Just to find out it was the same all along. Just there were variations in the arrangement of the atoms and the changes in the physics systems.
What if you hold the universe in the palm of your hand.
But you know someone is holding you in the palm of his hand. Which continues till infinity.
If the only unit of measure is time. What does it defines.
If there is no time there is no life nor death. Time is what keeps things moving.
What do you seek Immortality or Reproduction.
Seek immortality and all the knowledge of the universe is yours.
What if we used 100% percent of our brain. How many barriers can we transcend until we have even life infinity.
What if the concept of infinite never even existed. It's just have been either 1 or 0. Or something other than that.
before the big bang which created our universe. There was nothing. Or something thag lies beyond our existence .
What if all the stories eventually come to a end.
What happens then does the universe stops for them after the point of no return had been reached.
Means for a story to move with time it must even continue after it's end.
Then what if this story when it eventually comes to its end.
The entire universe will stop functioning.
Like a doll in a play. Lifeless inconceivable without any meaning and purpose whatsoever gradually decaying until the point of its non exitsance.
What if non existence was existence. The time when you do not exist is the time you truly exist. There are walls even beyond the 4th wall which shields us the actors from the
Ones peeking from beyond.
It has been time and time proven that the ones who peek.
Aren't part of it and just reading the script.
For example Danganronpa 53. You see the one beyond the fourth wall. Interacting with the characters.
But the one who was truly lied beyond the wall was you.
All these are questions which are asked time and time again by philosophers which will loom into your mind after you have read this.
Returning back to the story.
Jay and McElroy hastily retreated back to their dorms where they spent the rest of their time.
Next day in the cafeteria.
Radcliffe :
Why do you look so pale. Are you ill.
Jay still wasn't over the death threat yesterday and all the overflowing memories that once again reminded him of his errors. He went pale.
Ray :
You ought to chin up or I won't enjoy killing you.
Radcliffe :
Not on my watch.
Jay :
So listen I won't be around this month I have to leave on some personal business.
Redcliffe:
What business?
Jay :
I'll be traveling to the west for a short while and then some more places. I'll be leaving the next morning.
Ray :
Then i should accompany you. After all if I kill you outside the capital. I don't think anyone will be calling me out.
Radcliffe :
If so then I'll be coming. I can't leave someone like you alone. To fend for yourself.
Jay :
I'll be with Sir Phoenix. I don't think I will have much troubles.
Ray :
Oh Sir Phoenix is fine with me killing you. Ending you will be the best achenivement I have gotten so far.
Radcliffe :
Why don't you tell the headmasters about this.
Jay :
The Headmaster himself has assigned him to my case.
That aside so why are you so keen on protecting someone like me.
Radcliffe thought about the words she wanted to say a little bit.
Radcliffe :
Because you're the only one I can talk without any hesitation.
Being the chosen matriarch of the Radcliffe family. It meant a thorny path. Everyone who approached Radcliffe did so out of the profits and connections. No one interested in the person themselves but the value they will have in the future.
Their mouth when opened would spew nothing but words coated with sugar and honey. Her inbox with filled with expensive gifts and many love letters. While those who were jealous of her. Their gaze would strike her even if it was for a little bit.
The gaze would never go. Someone or the other would see her either as an object to climb or with eyes of hatred.
When she sat at an table either Noone would approach her or many who saw her as an object of success would ask to be seated besides her. And they were turned down.
But Jay didn't care. And when she told him about him expecting to be looked down with the same gaze as others.
He still didn't show any major reaction. During combat Jay matched her strength such that Rena gauged his strength as some what around hers.
Which also gave her a sort of a rival sense. Who would want to lose such a person. For finally after a long time she had someone to talk with.
And the perception of Jay was mostly mixed. Some who revered Sir Phoenix would be jealous of Jay as he sometimes casually approach him and talk to him non chalantly.
Others hated him for the same reason and they would imagine themselves at their place.
And when the explosives were caught at Jay's dorm it raised a lot of controversy. But it was turned into dust.
Rena had to protect it no matter what. For even if it was for one week she could atleast eat her food peacefully without worrying about the world for a bit.
But that too would be stolen from her. By Ray Genase who is constantly trying to end Jay's life. Either by trying to stab Jay every time he saw him with random objects from sharp knives to even pencils.
And Jay with an incredible stroke of luck would be safe ever time because Rena either blocked it. Or when he was in the dorms. Where there would be occasional explosives.
Jay would simply just remove them and hand them over to Ray. And head off to sleep.
There were no assassination attempts when he was asleep.
But as for McElroy. He would stay up for late nights assessing Assessments, internals of students working up on new methods in which a student could improve.
He would quickly learn the materials and absorb the absolute value out of them.
And incorporate them in his next class as an assistant instructor and assistant teacher.
But sometimes he would be distracted as he would be struck with visions of his other brothers. While one of his part Drakos. He would see him weiliding his materialized sword of light to decimate monsters in his path and his loathing for demons and Asura.
He also gained the wisdom and memories of The Tower Master who borrowed the power of the Abyss to form the
His Tower as a beacon for his brother's to find him.
He would be struck by his memories as they slowly and steadily get incorporated in his mind slowly stabilizing these connections.
But a human mind could only store upto 2.5 Peta bites of data which is around 300 years worth of memory so how could McElroy comprehend such huge data. The answer was simple the God which was incorporated into him expanded his storage capacity. Into yotabytes.
McElroy was preparing for his own journey for which he first had to clear all the remaining backlog that he would leave for a month.
Jay and McElroy would follow separate paths. But ultimately they will return to face their only and true threat.
Not the God's not the Immortals. But someone who stands above them all.
The Lord of the Abyss. X
The next morning. A new dawn approached as both of them had packed their bags and were going their separate ways
They walked down the corridor as they talked about their experiences here. How Jay spent his days as an student and how McElroy was toiling away as an instructor.
McElroy did feel a jealous as he felt he wanted to become an student now.
At the gate there were many who stood there.
There was Rena and Ray waiting for Jay.
And for McElroy the main instructor and one more figure known as the Azure Striker stood there.
Seeing them Jay quickly formed a weapon with metal magic. McElroy did nothing as he figured out that He was not here to end him.
McElroy :
Your sword put if down. He's not here to end you right now.
The Azure Striker patient waited as he saw others waiting at the gate.
Azure :
You girl of the Redcliffe family what do you want.
At a single glance she recognized Roy Williams.
Rena :
I am going to accompany Jay Garrick on his way outside.
Roy just nodded without any further questions.
Then he saw Ray Genase. With all of his questionable utilities.
Roy :
And you Director's son what about you?
Ray confidently gave him a reply.
Ray :
I'm here to end his life.
Roy lifted him up in the air by using antigravity.
Roy :
The one who will kill him is me. Understood.
With that he lifted the antigravity spell.
Ray :
I'll still try to kill him though.
Roy :
Genase family. I'm sure I won't have much trouble in eradicating your family.
Ray :
Will it's a good thing then I don't care about my family here.
Might as well go ahead and do it. So I won't have to stain my hands.
Roy :
Tch I hate people like you.
Ray :
Well it's my pleasure. Sir Roy.
Phoenix was also standing besides Roy. He grabbed Ray's shoulder and begged Roy.
Phoenix :
Senior Roy please let him go. He's still a child he doesn't know any better.
Radcliffe :
I agree just end his life here. He'll be less of a headache.
Roy :
I'm don't seem to remember taking orders from the Radcliffe family.
Radcliffe :
I apologize Sir, please forgive my actions.
Jay :
Guy's why are you all here.
Roy :
Have you gotten so dull brained, you can't even figure out for yourself. As per our masters orders we will accompany you wherever you go. And drag you here when the time limit expired.
Rena :
I will be going with you as well. I can't having you killed by him.
Phoenix :
The more the better. I heard you'll be going separately.
Then I'll be with Jay and my Senior will be with McElroy.
Roy :
Good thinking I might not even last a day without killing him.
Radcliffe :
Then let's go.
