Eldrea Academia and The One That Stars Chose
Chapter 42: Hellen Part 4

The truth of Hellen being so similar to Master actually became something I wanted to know. The similarities between the two of them are not just similar. I feel like there is something that makes Hellen so similar to Master.

Right now the wide-eyed Hellen was truly a pleasant sight for me. I didn't mean to tease her, but I felt so happy that I could find Hellen this fast.

But unlike Hellen, he currently looks like someone who really does not want to be with me. “You?!” he said he was amazed to see me welcome him on the stairs.

“Me!” I said, “there's something I have to talk to you about.”

“But I don't have time for that!” Hellen began to turn his body around and ran down the stairs.

Not wanting to lose the only clue to this mystery, I immediately chased after him who started to stay away from me. A few stairs I jumped at once. I made myself chase him quickly.

I immediately held Hellen's hand when I chased him. But damn, when I held my hand from Hellen. His feet coming down the stairs began to slip and make him fall with me.

“Woah!”

We started slipping and began to fall from half the stairs. The teacher on my shoulder started flying and secured himself. I was a little annoyed that Master did not try to stop us from getting close to the hard floor.

Seeing a possibility that could make me and Hellen hurt. Inevitably I had to use magic to save us both. Hellen's fallen body began to pull me closer.

When I managed to embrace it, I instantly cast wind magic to hold back our bodies that started to fall even faster. Our fallen bodies with our heads down it started to get its balance.

Now our bodies are starting to be in a position like we are going to land, this way we will at least not be injured because of the slip earlier. The wind magic that I threw on the floor was still blowing on us, making our landing speed even less.

When our bodies started to approach the floor. The wind that blew on us started to lift the skirt that Hellen was wearing so I could see what was behind the skirt.

“Aaaack!” yelled Hellen while holding back his skirt that was blown by the wind.

“Tedy bear?” I said unconscious.

I can't believe it's behind his arrogant attitude. He likes to wear a really cute interior. It seemed like there was still something that was not similar to Master on him. Or am I the only one who doesn't know?

When I think about this, I get a little curious. Did Master also wear a cute interior? Considering the two of them it was really similar to a clone.

‘No! I shouldn't have thought of this!’

We finally managed to land unharmed. That's how I thought at first.

Plaque!

As soon as we both landed. A loud slap began to drift towards my cheek. It was true that it was a shameful thing for Hellen, but I accidentally did it!

“Aww! Why did you slap me?!” my moans.

Hellen whose face was starting to turn red started looking at me sharply. “You saw it right?!”

“See what?! … oh what do you mean it's about the two-”

Not yet finished I said it, Hellen started kicking the bottom of my stomach so hard that it felt like my egg broke in there. This feeling of pain is really great. This hurts even more than the moment when I was electrocuted by Master.

“Aarrgh!” I screamed in pain from the kick from Hellen.

Kevin and Viona who saw Hellen leave and I who was huddled on the floor looked very confused by what they saw. It's only natural that they don't see everything happening.

“Deron ..?” viona said in wonder.

“Bung, why are you?” added Kevin.

The flying teacher started to descend and again turned into a human. He also looked at me several times and let out a long sigh while shaking his head. “Just let this stupid boy.”

“Emm .. well.” said Kevin and Viona.

They started to let me have time to ease my nagging for a while. After I started to be able to sit back down, Master started to open his voice regarding Hellen's condition.

“Because this idiot is feeling good, we better start talking about the girl,” said Guru, “dia is not just similar to me, you could say she is a clone of myself.”

His words really surprised us all. Even I who was still sitting because of the pain was immediately standing because of it. Unfortunately the feeling of pain began to return again because I was the one who suddenly stood up.

“Aaahh .. shit, it looks like I got karma from, Herald.” I complained.

They just put on a lazy face when they heard my complaint. That uncaring attitude they showed really hurt my pride as a man. But I can't complain about that.

“Why do I have such a foolish disciple ..” lamented Master as he sighed, “ alright, just listen to what I will say from now on.”

“Good!” exclaim The three of us.

“When I saw the girl, I could feel where mine was inside the girl's body ...”

“Which is yours? Is that the same as my case?!” cut me.

“Listen first!” snapped Teacher.”

“Ah, sorry.”

Again Master took a deep breath because of me. “It's true I can feel my mana in that girl's body, but this isn't the same as your case, Deron. It feels like where mine was forcibly inserted on the girl's body.”

“As if the girl is an experimental result that uses a fragment of my magic trail .. but this is just my hypothesis, we still have to find out the truth as quickly as possible. If anyone uses my magic. Then we need to find who the perpetrator who conducted the experiment,” continued Guru.

Everything Master said really surprised me. Why would they want to create a clone of Master? Who exactly are these people? Are they the same people we're looking for?

There are too many questions in my mind right now, but there is one thing I really want to know right now. “Sorry, but how do they use a fragment of your magic Master?”

The teacher was silent for a moment when he heard the question from me. “... I guess they used a little chunk of ice that froze me. It's the only way they can get a shred of my magic.”

Taking the chunk of ice that froze Master? If indeed it was their way of obtaining magic fragments from Master. Then it is certain that there is a deserter among the heroes.

Someone who can sell his own friend when his friend is helpless. Who is this defector? Why would he do this to his friend who had sacrificed his life to protect him? Damn this problem gets bigger every time we try to dig it.

“We have to find the culprit as soon as possible.” said Guru.

Me, Kevin and Viona started to nod slowly. True said Master, we must immediately find the mastermind of all these problems.
