Chapter 53 Volume 1 Epilogue (1/2)
”Sigh.” This is not the first time that Clint sighed today, and it definitely will not be the last one either.
”These past days have been hectic…” Clint muttered to himself as he wiped off some sweat off his forehead.
His clothes were unkempt, his hair disheveled, and his eyes were drooping, showing the exhaustion that he is feeling right now.
”Sigh, I want to rest now…”
Five days have already passed by since the confrontation between Alex and Aleksei.
Nobody in the Esper World knew that a fight between the two had happened, but everyone felt its repercussions.
The literal sky above the Esper World shattered, as it was replaced by a mesh of nets covering the whole world.
This is the real sky of the Esper World, finally revealed after being concealed by the World Diagram for a long time.
Everyone who saw the new sky panicked, as they realized that something massive happened in the Esper World.
To make matters worse, everything managed by the World Diagram here in the Esper World all collapsed, as if their strings were all cut.
It took Clint and his colleagues several days to fix all of the troubles caused by this collapse.
”That damn brat!” That is what all Clint could think of as he toiled away on fixing all the troubles around him. ”I know that Alex wanted to help us, but does he really need to make it this hard?”
Being the former second strongest Esper, Clint naturally knew about the truth of the World Diagram, but he did not dare to make a move against it because of his personal life and the fact that a part of the World Diagram was held by his friend and rival Elizabeth.
He only had the courage to rebel5 days ago as he had been spurned by Alex to make an action.
Clint did not regret his actions one bit, but he still felt angry from the fact that he did not manage to beat up Aleksei, and that hehas to fix all the fall-out caused by the disappearance of the World Diagram.
But what's done is done, and all that Clint can do right now is to go with the flow.
”Rest in Peace, Elizabeth.” Clint muttered to himself as he finished his work for today.
