Chapter 1: Parallel World

…
on! on! on!
“Ugh..”
on! on! on!
A young man with short black hair slowly opened his eyes due to the sound of alarm ringing, but he only managed to open his right eye, because his left eye was tightly closed due to the injury he had just received yesterday and was still throbbing.
“Damn it.. The jerk really didn't hold back this time..” Leo said in a spiteful voice as his gaze became clear.
“Seven ... fifteen?” Leo looked at the clock with a confused expression on his face.
“Dirt! I'll be late for class!”
Realizing that his perfect presence is in danger, Leo jumps out of bed and rushes to wear his black and white school uniform before leaving his room in less than three minutes, I didn't even bother doing my morning routine.
The usually busy hallways were completely empty as Leo ran past him and improved his performance to the best of his ability at the same time.
Although he did not realize it because he was too focused to get to the classroom in time, there were people who were looking at him with shocked expressions on their faces.
“H-Hey... Did I see anything, or did the student just look exactly like Leo?” One of these people asked his friend in disbelief.
“You also saw it?”
“Hah? I think he died three months ago!”
“Yes, that can't be Leo. Not likely. Must be someone who looks like him.” Friend agrees.
Almost everyone who saw Leo came to the same conclusion—that he was not ‘Leo’.
As soon as Leo reached the main building of the university, he immediately rushed up the long stairs.
He glanced at his watch as he reached the top.
‘Three minutes... I can!’ A smile appeared on his face when he realized that not all hope was lost.
However, just as he reached the entrance, Leo stopped when someone suddenly pulled his collar from behind, almost strangling him to death.
After coughing for a moment, he turned around with an angry expression on his face and exclaimed, “What's that for? Are you trying to kill me ?! ”
“Hm?”
When Leo saw the face of the person who had just grabbed his collar, he instantly calmed down, but he was still at a loss as to why he was stopped in such a manner.
The person standing right behind him was a tall and beautiful woman with long silky black hair and clear purple eyes, and her slender body was dressed like a nurse in a white medical lab coat.
“Nona Camille? I'm sorry, but I'll be late for my exam. If you have anything to tell me, I'll see you in the hospital afterward. ”
Leo ignored the look of disbelief on his face and turned around.
However, she is unable to go anywhere, as Miss Camille is still holding her collar despite Leo's attempts to break away.
“Why are you doing this to me, Miss Camille? Did I offend you somehow? I don't remember doing it, but if I do, I'm sorry! I'll even clean the hospital for a week! Please, let me go for now! I really cannot be late for this test!” Leo pleaded with her in a desperate voice.
After a moment of silence, Miss Camille finally spoke in a low voice, “Kamu ... Are you really Leo ..?”
“Of course, I'm Leo! Who else would I be? I know my eyes are a little swollen now, but I swear that I am Leo!” leo shouted, and he began to worry if he was beaten so badly that his face became deformed and unrecognizable.
After a moment of silence, Miss Camille spoke in a grim voice, “Follow me!”
And without waiting for Leo to answer, Miss Camille began dragging him away.
“T-Wait! Where are you taking me?! This is not the way to my class! What about my exam ?! ” Leo kept trying to break away from Miss Camille, but her grip remained on her collar, almost as if they were glued together.
“No test today,” he replied.
“Hah? How come? I would never make such a mistake. Don't tell me I actually slept during the exam and I missed a day ?! ”
However, Miss Camille did not respond to him, and she continued dragging him until they reached the hospital.
After locking the door, he said, “Stand still.”
And without further explanation, he began to strip her of her.
“Nona Camille ?!” Leo was confused by the strange situation.
After exposing her to **************, Miss Camille will spend the next few minutes quietly staring at her body, even circling around her.
It was very awkward for Leo, but he trusted Miss Camille, so he patiently waited until she was done.
“You have the same body structure as Leo, you look like Leo, and you even sound like Leo ..” Miss Camille muttered to herself with a confused expression on her face.
“Because I'm Leo!” He said with a confused frown.
“No, you're not Leo. You can't.” Miss Camille shook her head.
“You may have the same body structure as Leo, but your body is ‘bia’. The Leo I know has a much more refined and powerful figure. You may look like him, but you don't give him the same feeling. You may sound like her, but you don't talk like her at all.” Miss Camille said.
“Last but no less important. Leo is dead. He died three months ago.”
Leo's eyes widened in shock after hearing Miss Camille's last sentence, but after a moment of silence, he started laughing.
“Ah, I understand. This must be a joke. It's a surprise, Miss Camille. I've never thought you're the kind of person who likes to make jokes. ”
However, Miss Camille's face remained completely solemn.
Seeing this, Leo stopped laughing and said, “Seriously, Miss Camille, what's wrong with you today? Did you drink before coming to work? ”
“Who are you? No, you what? Why do you look and sound exactly like Leo?” Miss Camille narrowed her eyes at him, emitting a slightly dangerous aura.
Leo gulped nervously, but he did not answer, because he did not know what to say.
“Tell me about yourself.” Miss Camille suddenly said.
“Hah?”
“Telling. L am. About the. Yourself. Talk to me as if this is our first meeting,”.
Leo sighed. She could not understand why Miss Camille was acting this way, but she nodded her head.
“My name is Leo, and I am currently 18 years old. I missed some grades because I was so smart. My birthday is on the first day of the first month. My hobby is reading. I like fiction and mystery. I like sweet and spicy food but don't like sour food. I was accepted into this university— Four Seasons— University after getting a perfect score in the exam. I... I have no friends in this university even after a full year here, and I am often bullied because it— and because I am from a regular family.”
“There. What else do you want me to say that you don't already know?”
“Do you remember our first meeting with each other?” Miss Camille suddenly asked.
“Of course. We met when I had to be treated for injuries due to a fight with Adam and his group of stupid monkeys.”
“…”
Miss Camille once again silently looked at him with a brooding expression on her face.
Moments later, he spoke, “First of all, this place is not the Four Seasons University. It was called the Four Witches Academy. Secondly, you— Leo has many friends in this place, and no one dares to bully him.”
“Uhh ..” Leo put on a dumbfounded face at this moment as he tried to make sense of the situation.
“This confirms that you are not Leo. At least not the Leo I know. However, you are still Leo. There is only one plausible explanation for this phenomenon. You, Leo from another world, have somehow crossed this world— world where ‘Leo’ no longer exists.”
Leo's jaw agape after hearing Miss Camille's ‘sensible’ explanation.
‘Miss Camille... She went crazy!’ Leo cried in his heart.
“I know you must think I'm crazy, but let me show you the truth.”.
Miss Camille suddenly raised her arm and placed her palm right in front of Leo's face.
“Hand... Shine?” Leo muttered in a confused voice.
The next moment, Miss Camille spoke in a low voice, “Cured.”
Leo could immediately feel a warm sensation spreading all over his face, and the pain in his left eye began to disappear.
Moments later, Miss Camille lowered her hand and said to him, “Go look in the mirror.”
Leo asked nothing and stood in front of the mirror near the sink, and surprisingly, his supposedly swollen left eye, by some miracle, was completely healed!
Leo stroked his face in disbelief.
“A-What just happened? How do you do it?” He turned to look at Miss Camille with a surprised face.
In a calm voice, Miss Camille replied, “Judging from your response, I can assume that ‘sihir’ does not exist in your world, which makes things easier.”
“Magic?” Leo looked at him with wide eyes.
“Yes. Magic.” Miss Camille repeated, and she created a glowing ball of light that floated above her palm.
“B-Can I touch it?” Leo asked in a nervous yet excited voice.
“Sure.”
Leo started to poke the ball of light at first, then he tried to grab it, but it would pierce his hand like an illusion. However, he could feel a warm sensation coming from the light.
After waiting a long time to accept his situation, Leo asked, “How can I end up in this world? Can you send me back?”
“You quickly adapt, it's good.”
“By the way, I don't know how you came to this world, but since your world has no magic, it's safe to assume that someone in this world has called you here for whatever reason. Unfortunately, I don't know how to send you back to your own world.”
“Then, do you know who can send me back?”
“I don't. Although there are people who are capable of using teleportation magic, I do not know of anyone strong enough to teleport through the.” dimension
Leo rubbed his eyes with stress, and he sighed, “What should I do now?”
“You can stay here until you find your way home,” he said in an indifferent voice.
“But I should have died in this world, right? Wouldn't that cause some kind of complication? I don't know anything about magic, but I've seen enough movies to know what might happen.”
Miss Camille pondered for a moment before speaking, “Lo's corpse has never been found, so we can say that you survived. And this is not a movie. Leave everything to me. I'll find out something. ”
Having no choice but to rely on her, Leo nodded, “Thank you, Miss Camille.”
“By the way, if you don't mind me asking, how was your relationship with Leo before? I'm practically good friends with Miss Camille in my world — though she probably won't admit it. ”
He replied after a moment of silence, the “Leo I know is very little. He would spend most of my time because he was always hurt from fighting, but because of the time we spent together, we became quite close. But we're not friends. I was more of a mentor to him than anything else. ”
“A mentor, huh? I think you're like the Miss Camille I know. I'm so glad that's the problem. ” Leo showed her a bright smile.
Miss Camille looked at her smile with a puzzled face.
Moments later, he said to her, “By the way, if you want to survive in this world, then you have to learn it first.”
Leo nodded with a serious expression on his face, completely unaware of the cruel world he had just entered.
