Chapter 710: The knowledge of a past

Kyle opened the door to his room upon hearing a knock, and amusement flickered in his eyes at the sight of the twins, whose expressions fell when they saw him. Bia settled on his
shoulder with a yawn and cast a sidelong glance at the twins.
-"What? Did you two think we had left this planet or something?"
Logan and Mason flinched at her words. Naturally, the duo believed that Kyle and Bia had left after hearing about the commotion caused by the two the previous night.
The twins had actually gone to the elders seeking help and justice after leaving last night because the human and the phoenix were treating them like servants. However, instead of offering assistance, the elders instructed them to do whatever Kyle and Bia asked and to stay with the duo for as long as they remained on the planet!
Mason cleared his throat. Now that the twins had accepted their fate, it was wiser to perform their duties properly instead of risking punishment from the elders by angering Kyle and Bia.
"That's not the case. We're here just as you both requested. Where would you like to go? Do you want to explore the city?"
Kyle hummed, a bit surprised when he noticed that the two were quite serious. He thought for a moment; he didn't particularly want to see the city. Then...
"How about we go to the mission hall you two mentioned yesterday? I want to check out that place."
Logan blinked at him, surprised that the nature's favorite wanted to see the mission hall. It was a place reserved solely for the students of the elders. However, before he could refuse Kyle, Mason agreed with the human and told him to just follow them.
He glanced at his twin in confusion, but then Mason explained that since the elders had told them to do whatever the human wanted, they probably wouldn't mind.
Kyle watched the duo bicker. He could see they had finally started to feel comfortable around him. He followed them as the twin demi-humans began to walk.
Together, they left the hotel where he was staying and soon started to stroll through the streets of the city.
While walking, Kyle glanced at the bright morning sky above him. It was beautiful, crystal clear, and devoid of darkness. His gaze flickered with a hint of indifference as he recalled what he had seen the previous night after finishing his conversation with Yue through the
communication crystal.
It was the knowledge of a past so tragic, yet wholly unrelated to him, encased in a small, white orb. He wondered what the dragon hoped to achieve by giving such knowledge to him.
'Does the dragon want me to save the people trapped in the realm created by Azazeal? But are those people even alive, considering it has been over ten thousand years since they were trapped?'
Kyle had witnessed the catastrophic moment when this planet first plunged into the depths of hell, where dark flames roared and danced, illuminating the entire universe in a terrifying blaze after he absorbed the orb given to him by the dragon.
It was the time when Azazeal finally emerged from the lost treasure tomb, the very place where he had been betrayed by the two beings he believed were proof that not everyone in the world was evil. The man was enveloped in darkness, and his eyes were entirely consumed by it.
He went on a massacre, a bloodbath, mercilessly slaughtering every single person connected to Lilith and Nathaniel. The air was thick with the stench of smoke and ash as he carved a path of destruction. Yet, the two he longed to kill the most remained just out of his reach.
Nathaniel had entered the Celestial Realm with the aid of the Celestial bones he had extracted from Azazeal's body.
That man even sealed the Celestial Realm to ensure that no one could ever pursue him into that ethereal place.
As for the ice enchantress, she died due to regret and because the ice bloodline within her showed her the bleak future that awaited her and all her descendants.
Nevertheless, she left behind a lot of things; she even scattered her ice bloodline so that her relatives and descendants would at least have a chance to fight back.
He saw the young figures of Alec, Carcel, Lara, and Mia walking before him. That's why, he let
out a surprised sound.
"Ah... the Royal Academy, was it?"
Bia's eyes widened slightly at his words.
-"What? How do you remember that place? Did Yue tell you about it as well? But no... she
wasn't in the Academy with you!"
Kyle rubbed his chin. Usually, he struggled to remember anything about his past, even when
he forced himself to think. However, now, unexpectedly, he recalled something, and it happened when he was not even trying to remember.
"No, she didn't. I just remember a few things-not much. I think the memory was triggered
when I saw something similar."
He paused for a moment.
"But why was I always walking behind Alec, Carcel, Lara, and Mia? That doesn't feel right for
some reason."
Bia's eyebrows twitched at his words. She so badly wanted to tell him just how much of an
introvert he had been in the past. Even Nine, his first friend at the Academy, was the one who
approached him first.
Who knows if he would have ever made friends if Nine hadn't taken that step?
Suddenly, Bia's eyes gleamed with a mischievous glint. She can make fun of him, especially since he had no recollection of what had happened at the Academy! All he knew was what others had told him!
-"Oho, isn't it because you were just a weakling back then? That's why you always walked behind them. They were the talk of the Royal Academy in the past!"
-"Carcel was a prince! Mia and Lara were the daughters of nobles! And Alec? He was the only
person in the Academy after me who possessed (SSS)-rank talent! You were merely a speck of
dust at that time-!"
Bia swallowed her next words when she sensed a déjà vu. She let out a dry laugh and hurriedly
left Kyle's shoulder. As the crimson bird soared across the sky, Kyle stared at her with narrowed eyes, a flicker of disbelief flashing in his gaze.
'Was I really that weak in the past? No, that can't be possible... I'm sure.'
