Chapter 22 - Professor

Finally Noah is walking to the last lecture of the day, it was a PSO at 6:30 in the afternoon on a Monday so he was tired out. He quickly stumbled inside the room, but when he took a step on the other side of the hallway he felt a rather odd chill go down his spine. It was very slight so to an average person it was unnoticeable and only felt as if it was the air conditioner in this area. That is to the average person, that is different for Noah though, he understood what was the root cause of the change of temperature, it was an anomaly, someone in that area has either a host for a creature or is a creature. 

He looked around to see who else was there at that moment. The issue for Noah was that this class has over 300 seats and a lot of them are filled already so there is a low chance of him knowing who was the cause. 

How am I supposed to find the creature in this place?

He sighed before sitting down at a desk and tried his best to see who else in this classroom at that moment. He thought to himself of a plan but nothing was plausible, he thought some more and came up with three plausibilities. 

First in his thought was that it can be the classroom that is the issue, but that was crossed out after realizing that if it was the classroom itself the scene would most likely have a change that would fit the feeling, but rather it was more like an aura coming from somewhere in the room and not an aura that came from the room. 

so the other options were the lecturer, assistants, or the students. 

Do I have to look at the class roster if it is a student?

Noah was in thought as the professor walked up to the front of the class to introduce himself. When he did Noah felt a slight chill and that's when he knew that the teacher was the issue at that moment.

He was a white 5 '10 male that looked like he was around 25 years old. He was also setting up the projector in the classroom and it held a schedule for the semester. He also looked rather pale as if he was ill. 

noticing that he figured that he was a host of anatomy instead of being one. 

Before Noah had gone to the forest a while back he was searching up different things about the anomalies, he had figured that the forest is the home of where each anomaly has come from. Currently they knew that they can leave the forest, so there were forms where the citizens are regularly posting about how to spot if someone is an anomaly but there was a rather criticising post saying that the cause of those can also be something else. One that he read had said that if someone is a host they would look ill or paler than normal humans and if they are an anomaly they would look exactly like a normal human. 

How do I figure this out though? Should I ask for help? I could try by myself but I am rather unskilled and my magic is practically sealed. 

[Ask the church or ask me, I am the great Satan!]

no way, last time i ask you for help in the last world I almost died from the misinformation you provided

[It won't happen again I swear!]

nope. I'll just ask the church.

[wont they be suspicious of how you figured it out? honestly even the most skilled hunter wouldn't be able to detect an anomaly like you can, even in the past life you were feared, maybe that is a natural skill you have kept.

So should I just deal with this myself?

[Or unseal me and let me do it?]

If I do that, the anomalies from our world will come invading this place. I'll just figure something out. The internet is a great place. I'll try finding a solution after class, I still have to go to dinner, I gotta try finding a way to get out of this current situation. I can't let them know that there is most likely a small chance their Noah is still alive. I won't risk any issues if he is still alive here. 

[He probably is dead, he would not be able to survive the pain of having such a low amount of mana, you are a bit different though. You already found the problem and know how to fix the body don't you?]

Of course. I already did this in my last life. I just need to steal some mana from another human for like a week. It won't be a noticeable amount and there are no drawbacks for both parties. This obviously had some trial and error in my past life but it worked and no one died when I tried.

[You sure?]

Do you suddenly care now? What is this switch up?

[ I miss my home, you are the only other person that knows about the other world. Even if we had a bad relationship in that place I still care not to be the only one who knows of that world.]

you found it didn't you. 

[... It was before you had left for the battlefield. I found the place I was searching for.]

so you think it is also in this world don't you.

[How do you know this?]

I know what kind of creature you are, I've known you for 10 years now.

[When I find it in this world, will you allow me to be sealed there? Of course after I find Rafiel, I still need him to undo the curse.]

you don't think i am that cruel do you? You finally found the grave of god, it was the sole thing you wanted to find so I won't interfere with that.
