Chapter 249 "… Hey boy, what are we going to do now?" Evelyn asked with a worried expression .
"You ask me, but who am I supposed to ask to?" I rolled my eyes .
"I thought maybe you had a plan . " Evelyn slumped her shoulders in disappointment .
Well, I have one, but I'm not telling you . Not yet, at least .
Let's go back a few minutes ago to understand the current situation .
After we escaped from the dragon's last-ditch attack, we fell into an unknown world .
That world was desolate, filled with erupting volcanos and terrifying electric storms . The sun was covered by countless dark clouds, and the few plants still alive were withered and about to die .
Just like the dragon said, it's a world on the verge of destruction .
Evelyn and I found ourselves stuck in this kind of place .
Without food, without water, and with little mana . This situation was almost as despairing as it could be .
And what is better to bring two people together than being stuck together in a despairing situation, only able to rely on each other .
Nothing, right?
Yeah, I know . I'm a genius .
"… How many hours has it been already?" Evelyn asked .
"Only five minutes . "
"So little? It felt like two hours… Damn it, it's frustrating! Claus, let's talk about something… I need to distract myself!"
I heaved a deep sighed and nodded . "Very well, what do you want to talk about?"
"Mmm… Why don't you tell me about how you stole the concubine of your father?" Evelyn asked with a mischievous grin .
"… Headmistress, don't you think you should be searching for a way out of this place instead of asking stuff like that?"
Evelyn shrugged . "I used up all my remaining mana in the last barrier, so I have to wait until my mana recovers before trying something… Damn it, it's bad!"
"What happened?" I furrowed my brows .
Evelyn's face turned pale white . "Don't you understand? Currently, I'm completely defenseless . What would I do if you lose yourself to your desires and attack me? God, I'm about to lose the purity I'm saving for my husband!"
This woman… I felt a vein popping out on my forehead .
What image do you have of me?
Although, thinking about it…
"That is a good idea…"
Evelyn froze instantly .
"… You are joking, right?"
I looked at Evelyn with a mysterious smile . Evelyn shivered fearfully and took a few steps back while using her hands to cover her chest .
"Please, stay away . "
. .
…
… .
""Pffff… Hahahahaha!""
Both of us erupted in laughter simultaneously . The atmosphere relaxed a lot instantly and I felt Evelyn turned a bit less anxious .
As expected, she was worried .
After a few seconds like that, Evelyn bowed her head .
"Boy… I'm sorry . "
"Mm?"
"… I was the one that brought you here . Plus, you stayed behind to protect me… It's my fault we are in this situation . "
I smiled . So she was being bothered by that, huh .
"Don't worry, headmistress . Coming here and protecting you was my decision . How could I save myself by sacrificing your life?"
"… Are you trying to flirt with me?" Evelyn looked at me suspiciously .
"Stop it, headmistress . " I sighed . "Besides, the situation is not entirely hopeless . "
Headmistress Evelyn narrowed her eyes .
"As expected, you have a way out of here . "
???
"What do you mean?" I asked confused .
"Well, I got that feeling when I saw how relaxed you were, and your words confirmed it… Then, what are you hiding?"
I smiled wryly . This woman is pretty sharp .
But even like that you can't escape from my plans .
I nodded . "I indeed have a plan, but I'll need your help . "
"Do explain . " Evelyn put on a serious expression to listen to my proposal .
"Well, the dimension this world is located is probably pretty close to the world we are located, right? And headmistress, you know a bit of space magic and you are a thirteen-layer mage too . Do you think you can teleport us back to the academy?"
Evelyn frowned . "That is doable, but there are two problems . "
"Oh?"
"Firstly, I don't know the coordinates of our world relative to this place . No matter how close we are to our world, it will be useless if I don't know where the world is . "
"That is easy . " I smiled . "I let several traces of my consciousness in our world, and I can still feel them . We can use them as coordinates for the teleportation spell . "
Headmistress Evelyn was startled . "Is that possible?"
"I think so . I'll use my consciousness to connect to yours . Like that, you will be to feel the traces of consciousness I left in our world and use them to teleport us back . "
Evelyn was stunned . She then fell silent for a moment and started to think about the feasibility of my words .
And quickly, she concluded it was possible .
"Boy, you are a genius . " The headmistress said with a tone laced with admiration .
I smiled smugly . "Are you falling for my charms, headmistress?"
"Dream on!" Headmistress Evelyn rolled her eyes . "You will need more than this to get this old woman to your bed!"
I shrugged . Well, It was worth the try .
"What is the second problem?" I asked .
Evelyn smiled bitterly . "This is the greatest obstacle . Right now, I'm out of mana so I can't cast any spell . Moreover, the mana in this place is very thin, I'll need months to recover to the point where I can teleport us back to our world . So, if we don't find a way to recover my magic power quickly, we will be stuck in this place indeterminately… Boy, why are you smiling like that . "
