Abyss Draconis

Chapter 289: Lost Sense Of Purpose

"With how things are right now, I don’t think the Ascension Academy is the best place to return to, is it?" Ryuk’s voice rang out through the top of the skyscraper as a figure slowly walked out of the pool.

It was none other than MadWhite—half-naked, but with all of his bodily injuries already healed.

Ryuk reclined on a chair at the side, both hands behind his head, before he pointed to the side where a simple black shirt and trousers lay.

He had obtained them from MadWhite’s own room but had left them there, eliminating the need for him to go in and search himself.

"There’s not much of a better place to return to. Only this bath can help my injuries..." MadWhite replied as he quickly donned the clothes, then came to sit beside Ryuk.

His cup of coffee and mug were still lying on the table, which MadWhite took, pouring into both cups before taking his and drinking a long shot.

He placed the cup back with a satisfied expression, reclining in his seat with the same expression as Ryuk.

"It’s been a long time, Ryuk. A really long time..." MadWhite stated.

Ryuk sat upright, picking up his cup and taking a sip.

"How long has it truly been?" he asked.

MadWhite slowly raised one finger.

"One year?" Ryuk guessed, but then MadWhite raised another finger.

"Two years!?"

"Yes. I thought you were a goner after a year passed and you didn’t return. Who would have guessed you just needed an extra year..." MadWhite chuckled as Ryuk inhaled deeply.

"Two years... time moves so fast."

"I’m sorry..." MadWhite suddenly said as he furrowed his eyebrows.

"For what?"

"For sending you into that portal and wasting two entire years of your youth." MadWhite said quietly.

"Tell me something, Ryuk..." MadWhite called.

Ryuk looked behind him, finding MadWhite sitting upright.

"The soldiers?" Ryuk asked, and he nodded.

"I caught up to them before they could be destroyed. They’re safe. Although, I don’t know where they are..."

"All of them? What about the Knulls?" MadWhite asked.

Ryuk shrugged. "The Knulls that came out were only around Grade B in power. I didn’t break a sweat before getting rid of all of them and shutting the portal."

"Seems like someone’s name is about to appear on the news..." MadWhite stated as Ryuk grinned.

"Nobody knows..." he said as MadWhite walked toward him.

"Nobody knows?" he asked, passing Ryuk another cup of coffee.

"Yeah. Nobody knows I did it. I just thought it wouldn’t be a good decision to reveal myself so soon. I was out of there before any of the Ten Family spies could arrive."

"All they know is that there is a new powerhouse that pushed back the human warriors and that the Knulls were all defeated."

"They have no idea if it was even a human or someone else. I’m guessing they’d even think it was you..." Ryuk said as MadWhite grinned.

"I wish I could see their scared faces. Well, I would be seeing them soon—it’s only a matter of time..." MadWhite shrugged.

A minute of silence reigned.

The only sound to be heard was the flapping of their shirts and the ruffling of white hair before Ryuk asked, "So what now?"

"Huh?"

"Two years have passed, and those who started with me should be in their third years by now, graduating from the academy in just a few months."

"I don’t think the academy has a place for me anymore."

"So what now?"
