From Another World

"Jellal, pay me back!" Eleven said coldly, looking at Jellal, who was hanging from the tree.

Jellal, his face bruised and swollen, was being spun around under a tree branch, speechless. He thought to himself that his lifelong reputation had been ruined by this lunatic.

Jellal, even if he wasn't a prodigy, was still a standout among his peers! Now that he's been utterly humiliated like this, how can he possibly face his family and friends?

"Ahem, listen to me, your Spherulite was absorbed by Anima, I'm so sorry! I'll try to make it up to you later, but I really can't reopen Anima for you, it wasn't my magic that caused this."

"My mission here was actually to shut down Anima, but it still caused you trouble, and that's my fault."

Despite being abused by Eleven, Gerald's inherent good manners allowed Jellal to remain rational, patiently explaining the situation to Eleven and sincerely apologizing.

Eleven listened silently to Jellal's words, offering no rebuttal, only occasionally poking Jellal with his finger to keep him spinning.

Eleven actually knew that Jellal wasn't lying; he knew from the beginning. He was just annoyed that the Spherulite he'd almost obtained had suddenly vanished, and also disliked Jellal's pretentious attitude, so he deliberately picked a fight and beat him up.

Now that what was lost is completely gone, and it seems from Jellal's words that it can never be recovered. Eleven, on the other hand, calmed down. He wasn't the kind of person who would lose himself over the gains and losses of money, and began to seriously consider what Jellal had said earlier.

"You keep saying 'Anima, Anima,' but what exactly is that? Why did it suddenly appear in the sky to absorb magic? Where did the absorbed magic go? And what is its relationship to you?"

After a brief moment of thought, Eleven stopped the spinning Jellal, looked him in the eye, and asked a series of questions.

However, Jellal remained silent, head down, not letting Eleven see his expression, as if he were struggling with something.

"I can tell you, but I hope you can agree to one condition."

"No way! Even if you don't tell me, I can still look through your Memories myself. The only reason I'm making you answer verbally is because of my moral principles."

Eleven coldly rejected Jellal's request and placed his hand on Gerald's forehead, his Spiritual Power ready to invade at any moment.

"Sigh," Jellal sighed helplessly, and finally chose to compromise. Without magic, he was no match for Eleven, and he couldn't see through Eleven or deception.

"Anima!" is a Super Subspace Magic that connects two worlds. It transforms all matter and life in this world, Earth Land, into magical energy and Teleportation to another world called Edolas.

"Edolas lacks magic power, so he will stop at nothing to obtain it from this world. Sometimes, for greater efficiency, he will even directly convert human life into magic power and use it."

"And I..." Jellal hesitated for a moment, struggled slightly, but continued.

"I am actually a human from Edolas, not the Jellal you know in this world. I came to this world to stop the expansion of Anima and prevent it from harming more people."

"But sometimes I really can't handle things on my own, and I'm so sorry that Anima has caused you some losses."

After saying this, Jellal silently lowered his head, remaining silent and waiting for Eleven's reaction.

Eleven fell silent for a moment; he Take Over a lot of information and needed to process it properly.

First of all, Jellal in front of him was not lying, Eleven could assure him of that; to remain vigilant, the Telepathy Magic had never been interrupted.

Another world actually exists?

It's unbelievable that there are two people who look exactly alike. Although Jellal in front of me isn't a lunatic, he really does look exactly the same as me, like a mirror image.

Is there another me in another world who looks exactly like me?

What about the others?

What would a world without magic look like?

No, I'm so curious! I really want to know!

"Sorry, Jellal, I still need to see your true Memories. There are too many suspicious points." Eleven, feigning composure, stretched out his wicked hands and placed them on Jellal's head.

Jellal:(_)

Damn it, you liar! You said you wouldn't look at my Memories!

"Um... sigh, never mind, but I hope you'll protect me... ah."

With a bloodcurdling scream from Jellal, Eleven's Spiritual Power invaded the core of his Memory, revealing all of Jellal's little secrets.

There he saw wondrous sights he had never seen before: rivers flowing above the clouds, islands suspended in the sky...

There are also flying kittens, flying big cats, flying muscular cats... This is a bit hard to accept.

All sorts of magical tools and weapons I've never seen before.

There are many more...

Satisfied Eleven slowly withdrew from Jellal's Memory space. Although he didn't see his counterpart from the other world, he gained some understanding of that unfamiliar world.

"Heh, so you're actually a prince from that world?" Eleven looked at Jellal with amusement.

Jellal smiled helplessly. Eleven had already seen all his secrets, so there was no point in hiding anything anymore.

"Some things just have to be done by someone, don't they?"

"You really are amazing." Eleven looked at Jellal with mixed feelings and casually lowered him down from the tree branch.

Through Jellal's Memories, Eleven also learned that the guy in front of him was definitely a gentle, kind, brave, and sincere young man... a truly wonderful young man.

In short, he is an absolutely good person who is willing to betray his family, his country, and even the whole world for the sake of justice in his heart.

Eleven knew he could never do that; his sense of justice lay with his family and his companions, and he would never betray them. Fortunately, none of the guild members harbored ambitions to conquer the world, so they spent their days happily oblivious to unnecessary troubles.

Are you going to continue like this?

Eleven didn't know how to deal with this Jellal from another world. Rationally, he didn't want to have anything to do with him, but he was also worried. Such a person, fighting alone in another world for the sake of life in a strange world, was indeed very respectable.

Jellal nodded, regaining his initial composure and calm.

"Could I ask you for a favor regarding this matter?" Jellal asked in a deep voice.

"Hmm, tell me about it." Eleven had gained a new understanding of Jellal and wasn't opposed to offering him any help.

"I hope you can assist me in finding and closing down the Anima that has appeared in this world!"
