Chapter 1302 Repeat

"Emery, can you hear me?"

A gentle female voice that sounded right beside his ears awakened Emery amidst the tearing headache that was assaulting his head. Confusion was apparent in his eyes as he opened them to the world once more.

Casting his gaze around, he quickly noticed he was lying on a bed in the Magus Academy's medical center, with all of his friends surrounding him. All of them without exception wore worried faces as they looked at him.

The last thing he remembered was the moment where he won his match against the Sword Saint. However, he couldn't help but feel a nagging feeling that something else happened afterwards. The problem was that he couldn't figure it out no matter how hard he tried.

Emery tried to sit up from his lying position. Seeing his struggle, Klea quickly helped him and with his hand on her shoulder, "Thank you, Klea… I am fine"

Once again he felt as if this had happened before and afterward the feeling was intensified when Thrax smacked him in the back.

"Hahaha! You are indeed one tough bastard, Emery! Congratulations for your third place!"

Hearing those words, Emery experienced a flashback. He recalled Thrax's words, repeating in his mind exactly word by word as if he had heard them before.

Next, when Julian was about to speak about the results of the final match between Zach and Mahinder that he missed while unconscious in the medical tube, Emery interrupted him.

"Julian… Zach lost didn't he? Was it a short thirty minute fight…?"

Klea and the others were clearly surprised to hear Emery know the result of the match. After all, he had been unconscious from the start of the match to the end. Julian, however, quickly offered a plausible explanation.

"Maybe he heard us talking about it when he was inside the tube."

Emery did not deny or agree with that explanation. He remained silent as he tried to process the confusion within himself. Slowly but surely, bits of memory were starting to come back to him.

He definitely had been through all of this before. It felt like a dream, but at the same time not quite.

It took a moment before Emery realized something was missing. He quickly found his eyes drifting to a certain corner of the room, and when he saw it was empty, he quickly turned to the others and asked.

"Guys…" He hesitated for a moment, but decided he had to prove this feeling of his. "Did the headmaster come here?"

Emery could clearly see the surprise on Klea and the others' faces when they heard those words. Nodding her head, Klea calmly said, "Yes, he did come ten minutes ago. But you were still unconscious at the time, so he left after making sure you were okay."

Those words shook Emery's entire being once again. Immediately, he asked with an anxious tone.

"Do you know where he went?"

Klea's face looked thoughtful for a moment before she spoke, "Well, I don't really know. But I remember he seemed to have a bit of a heated discussion before leaving."

Hearing those words, Emery immediately forced himself off the bed, trying to stand up while speaking in an agitated tone. "I… I need to know where he went… I need to find him." His odd reaction confused Klea and the others, but they knew there had to be a reason.

"I'll go find out," Chumo said, before his figure vanished from the room.

Meanwhile, Julian, who was worried about Emery's behavior, asked, "What's wrong, Emery? What happened?"

Just as he was about to answer, Emery shut his already open mouth and frowned deeply. He felt his head start to spin again as memories started appearing like a flood, overlapping each other in his mind.

It was only moments later that he mustered up enough strength to start speaking.

"I… I really need to speak to the headmaster. He is in danger…"

Knowing he couldn't delay any longer, Emery forced his way out of the medical center to the surprise of all his friends. As he stepped out of the door, into the waiting room and saw several people: Magus Shena, his dragon half-blood protector, as well as his grand magus senior, Fuxi the Eastern Sage. There were also Gerri the Violet Flame, and Sigurd, the Titan bloodline, who has been around to help.

Fuxi the Eastern Sage immediately realized something was amiss and calmly asked "What happened?"

Just as Emery was about to explain, his words got stuck in his throat when he saw an unexpected figure approaching from the distance. The other party was the head of the Light Institute, Grand Magus Aurora.

Her eyes were looking at his, as if she knew what he was thinking, "Tell me what you have seen"

With his memory that came in bits and pieces, Emery started to tell them about his recurring experiences, the trip with the headmaster to Golden City, and the prison break that happened.

Not only was the grand magus willing to hear his story, she even patiently guided his rather muddled thoughts all the way until everything was fully conveyed.

'We… we need to warn the headmaster! He's walking into danger!"

Klea and the others were speechless by his story. They honestly didn't know how to react. However, the same couldn't be said of Grand Magus Aurora. She immediately called in the Magus Academy guards to ask for Magister Griffith, the Magus Academy head of security.

While Emery anxiously continued to recall some more events that were buried within his memory, Chumo returned not long after the magister arrived.

"The headmaster has left the academy through the portal gate."

"He has…? We must chase him, before it's too late."

Emery was ready to go and chase after the headmaster, but Magister Griffith quickly stopped him from doing so.

The latter looked at the former with a frown on his face and sternly asked, "How did you know he went to Golden City prison? Who told you about this!?"

Emery couldn't help but sigh at the magister's reaction. Not only was the man not convinced of his words, he was even suspicious of him.

"Is this… a divine sight?" Klea asked Grand Magus Aurora who was silent, as she was known to have such ability.

Hearing her question, the grand magus shook her head as she said, "No, divine sight would not provide such vivid experiences as he described just now."

It was then Fuxi the Eastern Sage interrupted saying, "This phenomenon must have been caused by the fight he had earlier. This is a very rare occurrence, but it has happened before in the past."

Turning his gaze to Emery, he continued, "When time and gravity meet, a rare anomaly called time dilation can occur. I think you may have just returned from a different time, or for this matter, from the future."

The dark-skinned Magister Griffith chuckled at the absurdity of the thought.

"Hahaha, time dilation? From a rank 9 acolyte!? That's impossible!"

Grand Magus Aurora, however, stopped his laughter as she said, "It's the most plausible explanation." She then added, "Actually, my divine sight has never been as troubled as these past few months. I believe someone has been playing with the threads of fate and blocking my ability" The female grand magus gazed at Emery, "Oddly enough I can see your part in this. So yes, I do believe you just see the future and something big is coming isn't it?"

The grand magus' last words, gave another jolt to his memory. His face turned pale before he quickly said, "E-Elder, I see... The academy is in danger. The elves… they will be attacking here soon!"
