The woman was speechless, she was still in shocked by realising what Zero just now did.
The teacher was lying dead on the ground, and she already sense his death even if no blood came out from him. She looked at Zero...and Zero's black hairs started turning a little white, but only a few of the hair became white and the rest remain black. The white hairs could be noticed but not too much.
The woman stepped back with fear, she was now afraid.
"I am asking you again...can you free them?" But Zero was still calm, and asked the question again.
The woman was shocked, "You...are still in senses? You are not under control like him?"
Zero smiled, looked at the woman and said, "What do you think, did I do without knowing? I did it intentionally...I know the consequences, but still I am in my senses."
The woman was now more shocked, she pointed a finger at Zero and mumbled.
"You are..."
Zero smiled and completed the sentence, "I am Human Hunter, also known... as Soul Consumers."
The woman was shocked, she fell on her knees, her legs became numb...and tears came in her eyes--
"Now come on, don't cry. What made you cry, I am not going to eat you."
But the woman's reason to cry wasn't that he would eat her or she was afraid of him, but her reason was...
"I thought...you are the one, to whom everyone is searching from lives...but my assumption was wrong...you act like him, you perform like him, you seem strong like him... but it isn't you."
Zero wasn't understanding anything, he just gave a sigh and started walking away. He passed by the woman and patted on her head and said, "Don't cry, I am not evil and nor the one you miss would be...it would be just the situation."
The woman's eyes widened and Zero walked ahead to move to the entrance gate of the school and said.
"And you asked my name, it's Zero."
The woman's eyes widened.
"If you want to remember then you can otherwise I am not a celebrity anyway. You are free to forget my name."
The woman looked back with a panic, and Zero had left already.
"...Zero?" was in her lips, which shocked her more.
Suddenly a group came running to her, and they were glad that she wasn't gone so far.
Zero came at the entrance gate and entered in the school from the right place and started walking in the ground and suddenly he saw all the students were moving to the building from the assembly hall. Zero realized that the dark magic should have ended and everyone would be going back to the classroom, so he secretly entered in the crowd and started walking to the school's main building.
All the students looked like normal now, everyone was talking with their friends and with each other.
But suddenly a few noticed Zero, but they were surprised to see him because they never saw him before and he wasn't in the crowd either.
"Um...when did you come in the line? Where's our friend."
Zero started sweating, he was bad at talking with people. But he looked back and behind him was the one friend, he let him go ahead and explained the truth, "I don't know where my line was, everything was mixed in the crowd so I just came here, I will be just walking to my classroom, don't worry."
"Oh, it's all right."
Zero was relieved from inside and the crowd continued walking.
Alpha was still talking with Screen and said in her mind with a sweat.
"It was really scary, I am relieved that it happened what you said, I just need to remain calm, thanks!"
God of Time started sweating, "If he would remember his memories, he would definitely kill me that she's thanking to the wrong person."
<"Uhm! It wasn't me actually, it was the person to whom you were talking--">
"By the way...were there even beasts or was it all just my belief made by my fear? Do you know, whether there was a beast...or not?" Alpha asked, thinking and remembering about the breathes...of the monster.
God of Time thought for a second, whether she should answer or not, but she decided at the end.
<"Well, this is the last thing I will tell you, I will leave after that.">
Alpha was fine with the deal.
<"The answer is...monsters were there, and now, they all are around you, surrounding you. So be safe, and I hope to meet you again.">
Alpha was left with widened eyes, and the Screen disappeared from her eyes.
God of Time was now curious to see what happened with Zero, she regrets missing all the fun but she was just fine and she saw Zero moving to his classroom.
<"Yo! How was your fight? How many punches did you receive this day?">
Zero just smiled and said, "Hey, Screen."
God of Time started sweating, she started feeling...like something bad is going to happen.
"I believe in you, my life will continue if I saved the girl rich from heart and soul, so now promise me, you will leave me for years once I saved the girl and you won't look at me and nor come to me...this is the 50-50 Promise."
God of Time's eyes widened with a shock.
Suddenly an invisible screen came in the eyes of God of Time and Zero's eyes.
<"This is a 50-50 Promise.">
<"If Zero saves the girl, God of Time will never look at him and will nor come to him. She can't interfere in his life. And this is in exchange of saving the girl. And that's the judgement.">
Zero just smiled by reading it, and God of Time was stunned for a minute...but suddenly she started laughing loudly.
<"I also don't want to talk with you, just complete the quest and I will leave.">
Alpha reached to her classroom and she was surprised by seeing the absence of Zero. But she didn't care much and took her seat.
Zero also arrived to the classroom and took his seat and started looking outside the window.
But...Alpha wasn't feeling good, she opened her eyes and saw everyone staring at her.
"Um...why are you all staring me?" Alpha asked normally and one student replied.
"...Do you know us?"
Alpha was shocked, but Zero just smiled.
All the students looked at Alpha, except Zero, came in front of her with scary widened eyes and asked.
"Who...are you?"
