Chapter 12: Mind Wipe

Arriving on the scene, I saw that the girl is still in there. Still unconscious and still lying on the bench. I sighed in relief since I managed to save a life. Well, it is not exactly me who defeated the demon but if I didn't intervene from her fate then she might be a human chow by now. When I arrived next to her, I pressed my palms together and rubbed it before I retracted them and put them to the girl's forehead.

If my target is only one person, I can use this method while if my target is a group, I need the mass mind wipe skill which involves the usage of lots of mana. As soon as I have done that, the memories of the girl appeared. Although the skill is called "Mind Wipe", it is much better to call it Memory Editor instead because of the specific ability that this magic can do to the memories of the target.

Mind Wipe, as the magicians call it, is a type of magic that can manipulate memories at will. They can either delete a certain part of the memory or delete all of the memory of that person. Of course, to do that, you need a lot of mana in your arsenal to pull that kind of sh*t. Now here is the actual reason why I call it Memory Editor instead of Mind Wipe. You can create any kind of false memory to use for memory fabrication. It is something used just to fill in the missing memory that was deleted to the target. And when I say anything, it can be anything. Of course, it needs to match to the first memory so that the target won't suspect the fabricated memory.

I see this magic as something that can really destroy someone to insanity if used properly. And if improperly used, it might be something that can be used for evil purposes which I think is not something good to do. Still, I have the need to use this skill right now. The girl that the demon has dated is currently collapsed into the bench and if she saw that her boyfriend is missing, it will cause a lot of trouble. About the disappearance of that student, I need to ask help on Moonlight or Voltaire to cover up this event. It will be troublesome if they suddenly tried to check who is the last person that the demon had met.

As I reach the bench, I saw the girl is still slumped on the bench and still out. I sighed in relief seeing the girl is still collapsed. Without waiting for her to wake up, I put my palms together and create Mirror World again. After making sure that the Mirror World is up, I made hand gestures necessary for the Mind Wipe and after doing the unceremonious hand gestures, I made the final gesture and said the magic.

"Mind Wipe!" and at the same time, my pointer fingers are all touching the two temples of the girl.

SHUA!

An interface similar to a high tech phone seen in movies appeared in front of me. It quickly displayed her memories in the folder. I was amazed by how organized this magic was. It was like you are just browsing through your phone's file manager or your computer's local discs. Everything is organized and categorized depending on the time and age the memory of the girl occurred. Of course, I don't need those memories of hers. What I need are the memories that she just lately acquired. I scrolled around the interface and it didn't take me too long to find the necessary folder. It was labeled as "Today's memories."

There are lots of memories there and it even included the time she goes to the bathroom to take a bath. I didn't care much about that because I am short of time. Any time now she might wake up so I have to do it as soon as possible. Then, I managed to find the very latest memories she just acquired. As soon as I found it, I quickly take a scan to her memories. But then, I think something will occur if I make a wrong move in the memories of this girl. While I was thinking, I quickly managed to get an alibi memory and this time, I don't need to delete an existing memory just to replace it with a new one, therefore, I decided to edit the memory. While it may be still too early to drop out of school, I decided to use that alibi to occur on her memory. It was a bit of exhausting to do so which only implies that I am still too weak to even deal the final blow.

But with the help of the memories I gained, I didn't have a problem to alter the memory. As soon as I finished everything, I decided to finish the session. The Mind Wipe might be successful but it exhausted my mana to the lowest. I am almost ready to collapse. In my final attempt, I quickly undo the Mirror World but that also made me collapse. Aw sh*t, my eyes are too heavy... And this fluffy and soft feeling... is so comfortable...

...

When I woke up, I just noticed that my vision is upside down. I also noticed that I can't move my body. Panicking won't help me on this matter so I take a look around. From the looks of it, I am tied up in an upside-down manner. And from the looks of it, I am tied in a storage room for the sports equipment since I have seen the balls for basketball. The place is dark but enough for me to see the surroundings just fine. From the looks of it, its already late in the afternoon. There are no people around that seem to be watching me, so I decided to escape. Since my shoes are still with me, I activated the flames on it and burn the rope. With the flames too strong for the rope to endure, it snapped allowing me to escape. With a backflip, I landed safely on the floor.

After that, I decided to gather my thoughts as I remove the rope in my body. The last time I remember, I was using Mind Wipe to the girl who seemed to be the girlfriend of the demon. After that... I think I collapsed? Without much things to remember while collapsed, I decided to go out of the room. However, the door is lock. It seems like I was purposely locked out. That is fine, I am not even caring if I stay here or not. One thing to do, find an opening to escape. Looking around the room, I saw a window big enough for me to squeeze myself out but it was above the height of a normal person and jumping on it is not even reachable. But if you know how to parkour or do monkey climb, it can be reached easily.

I am good at parkour so when the need arises, using that ability is immediately my choice. Whoever locked me out in here and tied me upside down needed to explain it to me soon. There are enough things to grab into to reach the window. It might look hard but not impossible. Making a headstart, I run towards the wall below the window and opposite to the shelf. As soon as I am about to hit the wall, I made a jump and hit the wall before I eject myself from the wall towards the shelf. It is not enough though so before I lose my balance, I made another ejecting movement to the wall back again. This time, a reach in the hand is enough for me to grab the ledge of the window.

FWOOP!

That was easy. Quickly climbing out the window, I opened it and checked outside. The sky is already painted orange which means the sun is about to set already. Just how long did I pass out? How did I not felt the people who carried me here? I jump down the window and rolled into the grass. No one is around so no one noticed me escaping. I am not so sure if there are people around the place so before I escape, I decided to use Mana Scan.
