Chapter 208- I’m Destined!! (Part 1)
Silence took over the whole place for a good while before Rin finally spoke.
“I understand that you don’t want them to know. But, they have the right to know. I will deal with the matter myself.” Rin said.
“… Why would you want to involve yourself in this matter?” Letum asked as he turned around and stared at the clear water around him.
“I have seen how painful it was for the both of them to live with that pain. Especially Sorophi, she had suffered enough with the image of her mother’s death still in her head. That’s my duty as a friend.” Rin replied.
“… Do what suits you,” Letum said these words and turned around, not intending to continue the conversation any further.
So, Rin simply bid him farewell and turned around to leave.

When Rin came back to the lounge where Emilia was waiting, the latter basically jumped on him and cornered him with questions about everything. It took almost an hour for her to finally calm down and they could finally exit the castle and return to the floor where Rin lives.
Then, Rin had to explain the same things to Elise who seemed even more worried than Emilia herself. In the end, the situation didn’t turn out to be bad. Well, except for one thing.
“I couldn’t tell Emilia about it,” Rin said to Elise after he told her about meeting Letum.
“That sounds horrible. Such a thing is really hard to tell to someone.” Elise replied with a frown.
“But, I want them to know so that they can move on.”
“… Don’t worry too much about it. Emilia is a very reasonable and smart person, I’m sure she can handle the truth. As for Sorophi… Well, you have to see how she reacts.”
“*Sigh* this is troublesome… Anyway, do you want to go out for a walk? We didn’t have fun in a while.” Rin suggested.
He didn’t want both of them to get stressed out before the war even started so having some fun once in a while won’t hurt anybody.
“Sure…”
“So a date it is!!” Shouting with a triumphant smile, Rin stood up and went to get ready.
Elise simply smiled and stood up to get ready herself.
Then, the two left the apartment and walked toward the entertainment district of the city. It was as bustling with students as usual.
Then, for the next few hours, they went around, playing and eating while chatting about many things. After the two started officially dating, they didn’t really have much time to go out on a date so in a sense, this was their first-ever date.
By the time it was nearing the end of the day, the two sat down on a bench, resting.
“I had so much fun,” Rin said.
“Me too.”
“Oh, look there, the same ice cream shop that we bought from the last time. Want to have some?”
“Sure.”
Standing up, Rin walked to the shop. The moment the owner saw him, he smiled as if he recalled him. <subtxt> . </subtxt>
“Oh, if it isn’t the lover boy.” He said.
‘Lover boy?’
“How can I help you on this beautiful evening?”
“Two ice-cream cones, please.”
“Coming right up!”
Then, Rin turned around and walked back toward Elise with a smile. Everything seemed perfect, nothing would ruin this day at all.
Well, that’s what Rin thought before his eyes fell on a sight that made his brain freeze for a split second.
Right behind Elise, a silhouette could be seen holding a sword that was a few inches away from hitting her. Without any thought, Rin’s body moved at an inhuman speed.
‘Void World!’ He tapped the ground and instantly, a huge void-like world appeared and reached Elise.
The void absorbed Elise before the sword could.
*BOOOOM*
The bench was split in two along with the ground beneath it.
The sound was loud enough to attract the attention of the people around them. Everyone saw it, the black void that Rin created.
“…!!” Looking at the mysterious person with widened eyes, Rin quickly pulled the void back towards him and then made her exit his void world.
“Are you ok, Elise?!” He asked with clear worry in his eyes.
“Yeah, what happened?” She asked as she held her head.
“Wait here.”
Then, Rin stood up with a sigh of relief.
“Who are you?” He asked coldly as he glared at the attacker.
“Hehehehe, have you already forgotten me, Rin?” The person asked as he chuckled ominously. Because of the hood, he was wearing, Rin couldn’t see his face.
“That voice.” Raising an eyebrow, Rin felt that it was very familiar.
“Hehehehe! Did you finally recognize me? How could you forget the person you stole everything from, huh?!”
“You…”
Before Rin could even say a thing, the mysterious person attacked him at top speed.
‘Fast!’
Clenching his teeth, Rin quickly dodged the attack and then kicked the attacker away. Although he was fast, Rin was still way faster.
Flying away like a ragdoll, the attacker fell down on the ground violently.
“Rin!”
“I’m fine,” Rin replied while he pulled out his daggers.
“Call master. This person is… not a human anymore.”
“Not human?” Frowning slightly, Elise couldn’t understand at first but when she realized what Rin meant, she quickly stood up.
“Give me a second.”
“I doubt he will allow me to.”
“Rin!!!” The attacker stood up and charged toward Rin again with anger clear in his tone.
“Calm down. I don’t want to fight you.”
“I do!!! Today is your end!!”
Reaching Rin, he slashed with the sword at top speed.
“You can’t beat me. This is pointless. You will get yourself killed.”
“I don’t care!! Even if I die today, I will bring you down with me.”
Suddenly, the attacker’s aura erupted chaotically. The sheer ominousness of the aura made Rin freeze for a second. That time was more than enough for the attacker to hit him.
“Ugh!”
The sword glossed over his arm. Blood spilled out everywhere.
“You bastard!” Clenching his teeth, Rin stabbed the attacker’s leg.
“UUUUGH!!” The hit was very strong as it made the attacker fall down to the ground, motionless.
“What happened to you… Phillipe?” He asked as he stared down coldly at the young man.
It was none other than Phillipe, the protagonist of the story.
