Chapter 32: Let Me Try Again.
"Wait. You have seniors?!", Harry asked.
"Yes I do. I can't tell you much about it now though, as I myself don't remember much about it.", said Rae.
Harry had an incredulous expression as he asked, "Do you even know or remember anything?"
Rae thought in her head, 'If I argue with him, he'll just roast me! He's too good at making counters! I'll shut him up with a logical reason!'
Rae thought about it for a bit and came up with a very logical reason that made sense. She said, "Host! My memories and knowledge have been sealed! I'll gain them as you conquer worlds!"
Harry was slightly surprised. That made sense. So that's why the system couldn't answer any of his questions!
Harry nodded and said, "That makes sense. I apologize for pressing you for answers." Harry had thought that the system was purposefully hiding answers from him. He did not realize that she herself did not know them.
The system was impressed with her own reason making skills. She herself believed the reason because it was completely solid and made sense.
She patted herself on her back. Well atleast she imagined herself doing that as she could not do that in front of her host. That would make him suspicious.
Meanwhile John and Catherine approached the man and carefully woke him up. The man realized what had happened and also noticed the fact that the knowledge imparting process had probably failed as he had no kinds of memories or experiences in his head.
He felt extremely disappointed as he felt that he was unfit for the knowledge. He felt like he had just failed his life's most important test.
John, who saw his depressed expression consoled him with a few encouraging words and finally said, "Maybe you can try again. The king did not say it was a one time try thing."
The man's eyes glimmered with a new hope for life as he said, "R- Really?! I can try again!?"
John smiled and nodded as he said, "Of Course. The king will just do what he did last time if things go astray."
The man smiled brightly and asked the king, "Your Majesty, forgive me for being unable to bear the knowledge last time. Let me try again."
Harry rejected him straight up, "No!"
