The Spirit World

Chapter 885 [Time and Space Reversal] - Jack Nyman

"Of course!"

Jack nodded obediently.

He didn't know what a cheating student was, but he had heard from his know-it-all sister Erica that his goal in participating in the Dragon Contest was to get first place. If he became the first place in the Dragon Contest in Wenti County, he would be able to successfully pass the selection of the Flandre Royal Academy in the capital of the Principality and become a student there.

That place is where the top winners of the Dragon Competition in all regions of the Principality learn. In theory, only by entering there can one learn the best swordsmanship and knowledge in the Principality.

It’s not that you can’t learn well if you don’t go, but most of the powerful legendary swordsmen and super wizards are there. If you become a student of a famous teacher, you will definitely be very successful and have a bright future after you return after completing your studies.

Erica said that he wanted to be the best swordsman in the world, but he lost to the second young master of the Theatus family in the Dragon Tournament, and most of his confidence disappeared.

"Will you go to Fulan with me then?"

Jack held his forehead and looked up at the sun. The sun was indeed round and emitting the same light as before.

"I... I can't say for sure... My father will probably arrange for someone to send me directly to Fran... I can't go with you..."

Colin calls his dad his father.

This shouldn't be a big deal...but for Jack, a kid who has always called his father Rajel Niemann "Dad", it sometimes feels really awkward.

Maybe this is the difference between wealthy families.

"Ah...so that's it..." Jack saw a bird resting on the treetop.

"But don't worry... I will definitely ask my father to help you get into Fran to study!"

Colin patted his chest to assure.

"Honestly, I will definitely do it! Don't let my hard work go to waste~"

A painstaking effort... a betrayal...

My younger sister Erica always says these words in a profound manner.

What does it mean to be let down? How can such a young child understand?

"Don't worry! My goal is to be the best swordsman in the world. Even if I'm stuck in a quagmire, I won't give up on this goal!"

Jack patted his chest as well.

"If I have to defeat everyone in the world as the best swordsman in the world, then even if a stronger person appears in front of me, I will never back down!"

"Yes! I! I also want to move towards the goal of becoming the world's number one magician! Let's do it together!"

Colin turned around and looked at Jack with the clearest voice and the most determined eyes. He stretched out his hand and wanted to shake Jack's.

Jack also quickly reached out his hand.

Colin grabbed Jack and pulled him towards him. Jack leaned towards Colin without paying attention. Colin's eyes became more determined. He spoke passionate words with the most intense emotions, as if he was swearing an oath.

"This is! A promise as a man! Jack! Sir Jack Nieman! This is! A promise that belongs only to us!"

Colin's feminine appearance made Jack blush. Colin was so delicate... He had a different kind of beauty... Coupled with this sentence that sounded so majestic, Jack's heart seemed to tremble.

But what nonsense is this... Colin is a serious man. Although they are not naked in the cave, how should I put it... Colin is a manly boy after all.

"Yes! This is a promise that belongs only to us! Colin!"

"Jack!"

Colin hugged Jack tightly again. He was a little petite, as if he was throwing himself into Jack's arms. Jack put his hand on Colin's back embarrassedly and hugged him again.

"Let's get out of here quickly!" Colin suddenly got out of Jack's arms and ran even faster.

"Follow me! Jack! We'll be able to get out of here soon! Jack!"

His short, messy hair fluttered in the wind like clouds chasing the moon.

“Hey... wait for me!” Jack also ran quickly... In his young world, the first friend he cared about was running in front of him. Colin’s back looked so weak, but he had such a tenacious character.

"Hurry up! Jack! We are finally! Free!"

In the cave, in the dark world, escape is the long-desired freedom.

"We! Are free!" Jack also cheered along with Colin.

He seemed to have never run so happily before.

Because his sister Erica always told him with a serious face! He must practice Shadow Flower Slash well, practice the contents of the technique book well, don't play around, don't be lazy... don't run...

He really, really wanted to run once.

There is no definite goal, no direction, no trivial purpose... just run with your heart free.

With Colin in front of him, he could follow Colin...run without any worries...and feel a brief moment of comfort...

Let the long-silent heart come alive!
Jack Nyman!

His name! It's Jack Nyman...

Now, he started running. He could surpass Colin, but he was behind Colin. He couldn't even seem to be by Colin's side or even to his left...

Because he is not... someone who is overconfident... and it is still the same now.

Just as Colin wished, when the sun came out and the sky was covered by the huge eye, everything returned to its original appearance.

The first responders who were waiting in Winners Canyon watched the two of them run, and everyone, including their parents, hugged them with tears in their eyes.

In his mother's arms, Colin called out to Jack.

he shouted! For they were far apart. "Hey--Jack--"

Jack, who was as obedient as a puppy in front of his sister Erica, turned around for a moment and responded to his shout.

He called out! Because he heard Colin's cry!
"Hey - Colin -"

Colin delightedly pointed Jack out to his mother.

Then, he called again.

"I'll wait for you in Fran—"

His words connected to the crowd that was looking back at them.

"You must come—"

"I will—Colin—"

"Jack—goodbye—"

"Colin—goodbye—"

As Colin followed his parents out of Winner's Canyon, he smiled at Jack, who was looking at him and seeing him off.

Wave goodbye.

They stopped shouting, but it was enough.

After Jack watched Colin leave, he only saw Rajel with a confused look on his face and Aria with a meaningful expression.

Also, Erica, who looked speechless, was holding a maid ice dragon that looked like a fat lizard... and shook her head helplessly.

"That girl...seems to like our Jack very much...maybe we can become in-laws..." Aria looked at her son with a smirk on her face, and the eyes of the three family members all turned to her. She rolled her eyes in embarrassment, "Ah no, I mean...at least, we can get to know each other better, maybe...right?"

"The Korich family is not something we can marry into..." Rajel expressed helplessness.

"At least, for now, given our family background and the simple and honest boy like my brother, it's really hard for us to pursue the eldest daughter of another family..."

Erica shook her head in denial.

"Yes, yes, yes! Little brat! Toad! Lululu~"

Little broken dragon...ah no, Elaine stuck out her dragon tongue in disgust...

"What are you talking about? Colin is a boy! I've seen it all!"

Jack, who was considered the most honest man in his family's eyes, scratched his head and looked at his unreliable family with a confused look on his face.

"What? Have you seen it?" Rajel looked at his dear son in shock.

"What? Have you seen it?" Alia looked at her silly son thoughtfully.

"Ah? Have you seen it?" Erica wanted to turn back to look at the person who had disappeared.

"No way! Awooo~ Huhuhu~" Elaine bit her tongue and breathed heavily with tears in her eyes.

The icy breath she exhaled puzzled Jack.

Jack leaned back.

"You guys...what are you talking about? What is this and what is that?"

"You...really saw it? He's a man?"

"Where are you looking?" Jack looked confused.

"Look..." Erica glanced at her mother.

Mother Alia glared at her.

"It's nothing... forget it... it doesn't matter whether it's a boy or a girl..." Aria was quite open-minded. She sighed and shook her head, saying, "It's not a big deal if I can marry my stupid son off..."

"What?"

The other three people and the dragon were unable to react. Alia laughed twice and waved her hands awkwardly.

"Forget it... To celebrate our second place in the Dragon Tournament! First place in the Summoner Class! Both born in our family! How about a beef hotpot today?"

Aria clapped her hands.

"Ah? Beef pot?"

Jack touched his belly.

"Can we not eat beef hotpot?"

"Why..."

“I’m tired of eating…”

"Damn you little bastard... beef hotpot is so expensive..."

"But……"

"No buts..."

"I... am really tired of eating beef..."

Jack, who was so sad that he had no tears, ate three big bowls of beef on another dark night when everyone was afraid that the sun would not rise as usual.
