The sun had begun to shine in the sky above the academy. Everything glowed orange.
Lian's eyes were open, his body lying on the bed.
He was not tired, but he had not managed to sleep a wink. The memories of the previous evening were still etched in his mind.
"Why me?" he murmured with a frown.
Rick had asked to be his best friend!
For what reason? Lian had no idea. He only knew the situation was absurd.
"Ah, enough thinking about it—" he said with a sigh as he got up.
His half-naked body glistened despite the sweat and dust he had gone to bed with.
"It is incredible how my body recovered so quickly… in that Gate, I looked like a walking corpse. Now…"
Lian could not take his eyes off the mirror. His defined muscles, his sharp, piercing blue eyes. His messy brown hair, too short to be considered long and too long to be considered short.
And the lock of hair falling over his eye…
Everything was normal.
