[BL] Accidentally Becoming the Healer of the Deranged Archduke novel Chapter 155

Chapter 155: The Nightmare Begins

Xion’s long raven-black eyelashes fluttered as he woke up. His vision was hazy from sleep. He blinked in a daze as his surroundings slowly came into focus.

His head throbbed painfully, and his fingers instinctively reached up to rub his temples.

Wait... this place...

He was sitting at his old high school wooden desk. There was a familiar mess of notes and textbooks scattered across the surface.

The faded sticker of a cartoon cat on the corner of his notebook confirmed it was definitely his. But why did it feel as if something was not right?

Why am I here?

Xion’s fingers twitched as he flipped through the pages.

The numbers written on the page were today’s date. The rampant laughter and messy voices of the students were making his headache even more violently.

He looked around, his gaze skimmed past the faces of the students dressed in school uniform. They vaguely felt familiar as if he had seen them.

Of course, I have seen them. I study with them every day...

Xion answered his own confusion.

Although he recalled everything from his morning breakfast to his science class that was about to begin, there was this voice in his head that kept telling him that he had forgotten something very important.

But what?

As he tried to think, a vague image of a silver-haired beauty appeared in his mind.

Xion scoffed at his imagination. Perhaps it was the side effect of watching anime until late at night.

Shaking his head out of his jumbled mess, Xion tried to focus on the notes he had jotted down just a few minutes ago.

"Oi, Xion!"

A sharp tug on his shoulder made him wince. He turned just in time to see Hira Takumi grinning at him with all teeth and smugness.

"Takumi! Stop that!" Xion hissed.

His hand went to rub his aching shoulder. All the while, the dull pounding in his skull spiked even more due to Takumi’s shaking.

It was as if needles were digging in his head.

"You look like a ghost." Takumi frowned, then grabbed Xion by the wrist and yanked him to his feet. "C’mon, go to the clinic before you pass out on me. I’ll tell your brother you’re sick."

Xion knew arguing was pointless. Takumi never took ’no’ for an answer, especially if it involved his brother.

Who made Takumi such a diehard fan of his family anyway?

Well... not like he was the only one. Half the school was weirdly obsessed with his brother and wanted to have a good relationship with Senior Aijawa.

And honestly, he was not any different. Yet despite being family, Xion was even worse than Takumi when it came to being closer to his brother.

With a tired sigh, Xion trudged toward the clinic. Sitting in class with this terrible headache was really not an option.

But as he moved through the crowded hallway, whispers began to follow him.

They were just faint murmurs at first, but they grew louder and louder until they were impossible to ignore.

"That’s him... the underwear thief."

"Eww, pervert!"

"He tried to do something like that to Aijawa-senpai!"

Xion’s steps faltered. His stomach churned as cold sweat dripped down his spine.

What... what are they talking about?

No.

The school gates... He just had to reach the gates.
