Magic System in a Parallel World

”Look over there. It ’s Sword Emperor Leo. ”

”Did you hear? He accepted a challenge from Kayn, and they ’re going to fight in a month! ”

”Kayn? He ’s always challenging Leo to a fight whenever he gets the chance, and he always loses. Nothing is going to change this time around. ”

”I ’m not so sure about that. Leo is suffering from amnesia, and from what I heard, he doesn ’t even remember how to fight. Things might be different this time. ”

”If Leo can ’t remember how to fight, why even bother fighting him? That will only make Kayn look like a fool, fighting someone powerless. ”

”I guess he ’s just that desperate to beat Leo. ”

At another table, some female students mumbled to each other, ”Don ’t you think this is the best chance to hook up with Leo? ”

”Huh? Are you looking to die? He already has a girlfriend, and she ’s a witch! ”

”Are you talking about Valery? Haven ’t you heard? She ’s going out with John now, which means he ’s single and available. ”

”It ’s still too risky. I would wait for a few more days before I do anything if I were you. ”

Meanwhile, Leo sat by himself at a small table, trying his best to ignore the stares.

”You ’re even more popular now that you ’ve returned from the dead. ” Lilith said to him as she hovered sideways in front of him, almost as though she was lying on a bed.

Leo mumbled without looking at her, ”Can you not speak to me while we ’re in public? People will think I am crazy if they see me talking to myself. ”

”That ’s not fun at all. ” Lilith frowned.

”You might not care about your public image at all because they can ’t see you, but I care! ”

”You don ’t have to respond to everything I say, but I will continue speaking. Just act like I am speaking to myself. I am satisfied just knowing that you can hear me. ”

Leo quickly finished his food and left the cafeteria.

On his way back to the dorm, Lilith suddenly said, ”Leo, don ’t stop walking and don ’t turn around, there ’s someone following you. ”
