When sunny opened his eyes he saw the familiar celing of the police station, he looked around and saw. On a cheap plastic chair placed beside his reinforced medical bed sat a beautifull woman. She had short, raven-black hair and icy blue eyes. Her flawless skin was smooth, supple and as white as snow.
The woman seemed to be in her late twenties. She was wearing a dark blue uniform with silver epaulets and black leather boots. The jacket of her uniform was casually unbuttoned, revealing a black tank top beneath.Currently, she was stretching her arms above her head, clearly bored and sleepy. The gesture forced the thin fabric to tighten, provocatively accentuating her full breasts.
She asked: " What are you looking at?"
Sunny answered now knowing how to controll his flaw: "you"
The woman smiled and said: "Welcome to the world of the living. Congratulations on conquering you'r first nightmare, sleeper sunless"
Sunny felt wierd being called a sleeper, but it is what it is he would have to live with it for around a year maybe less but he was gonna get used to it.
After the ascended woman named 'Jet' unstraped him from the bed she talked to him a bit about what he should and shouldn't. And so when the PTV arrived at the gates of the academy Jet sent him away, and drove off.
Sunny never tought he would be back at the academy and especialy in the past. When he looked at the gates he saw a familliar figure in front of the gates waiting for them to open fully. The girl turned around and looked in sunny's direction while wearing a suprised expression, when she saw him her eyes widened even more, witch made sunny flinch and be concerned for her. He wanted to aproach the girl but when he took a step she turned around and started running without looking back.
Sunny was bewildered, when he saw her run away he had even more hope for his theory. He felt that it would be wierd if only he went back in time, he was really hoping that nephis also went back in time. He sruged 'hope huh, never tought i would ever feel that ever again'.

The girl was tall and slender with short silver hair reaching her shoulders, usually she had a cold and expressionless face, but when she saw the face of the boy who was behind her infront of the academy gates she couldnt take it, she needed time to think about all of it, she remembered it all the forgotten shore, the shadow bond, the ball at valor, antartica, 3rd nm and all of it in between. She wasnt sure it was the same sunny she knew so she decided to think about everything while observing him. If sunny acted the same as the previous time, she didnt want to think about that.

When all of the sleepers were in the hall of the academy all of them talked to eachoder about their first nightmare, aspects and so on, sunny wasnt intrested in any of it. Insted he decided to find cassie, he wanted to befrend her now and make sure she doesn't plan on anything, but mostly he wanted to be her friend, he had long forgiven her for what she did to him and he already saw her as a little sister.
So when he spotted her, he saw her in a corner and he felt sad nobody wanted to talk to her. He decided to aproach her and as he was walking to her he saw caster braging about his aspect and ignored it. He also saw nephis staring at him but he ignored her aswell and continued walking.
Sunny wanted to maked sure nephis was really from the future before aproaching her. When sunny finaly got to cassie he said in a happy and calming voice while smiling: "Hello, my name is sunless, may i know yours.
Cassie faced toward where the voice was coming from suprised and asked: "A...are you asking me?"
Sunny smiled and said: "Well yes, I am, I wanted to ask you you're name and be your friend, if you dont mind that is."
Cassie opened her mouth in shock but quickly closed and in a suprised but happy voice said: " My name is Cassia, but please call me Cassie, its what everyone calls me." After a moment she added: "Are you sure you want to be a friend of someone like me. I mean i'm useless, and i dont have a powerfull aspect."
Sunny smiled and said in the same voice but grinning slightly more: "I am sure, many dont know but the spell is cruel to those that have potential expecting a lot from them, so that can tell you a lot about someone like you. Your flaw is really bad, but that just means you have a lot of potential and you are gonna be a pillar for humanity one day if you make sure you give it your best. Also, call me sunny, everyone calls me that anyway."
Cassie way visibly happy and she was so happy that someone belived she would survive, and even be someone important in the world in the future, she shed a few happy tears and thanked sunny for saying that.
After a few minutes instructor Rock came in the hall and anounced everything they had to know about the academy. Such as witch classes they can take, the questioning about their abilities, emotional support and everything else.
After the interview the ranking was as expected from sunny's pov, he was second to last only above cassie. Nephis was first and she also revealed her true name, there was a comotion about it and everything else but he didn't care. After finishing his food he heard instructor Rock tell them to go rest in their rooms.
In sunny's room, sunny was practicing shadow dance with the sword he got from the hero. Then, he heard a knock on the door, and so sunny took his towel and wiped his swet and opened the door. To his shock he saw nephis.
Nephis looked at sunny with nervousnes and said: " Are you the sunny i know"
He was suprised but answering while stutering.
"Y-yes"
Sudenly sunny was feeling bad about himself, he guessed nephis remembered everything that he abandoned in 3rd nm and before. He was scared nephis would do something to him but dismissed it and again hoped for the best.
Neph closed the door behind herself after entering sunny's room. She locked the door and sudenly kissed sunny. At first sunny was suprised but then he acepted the kiss and pulled nephis in a tight hug continuing their kiss. When they first kissed sunny felt completed, but now he felt like a huge mountain fell of his heart, its like all of his worries were gone and replaced by hope for a bright future.
