My Girlfriends Are Hardcore Yanderes - Chapter 92

Chapter 92: Confusing Twist 2

His mind was filled with confusion until Lyka’s soft and worried voice jolted him from his thoughts.

“What’s going on?” she asked, her voice gentle but probing.

Asher slowly turned to face her. He took a moment to gather his thoughts, trying to find the right words.

“Lucy… where is she?”

Lyka raised an eyebrow. “Lucy? Do we have a student with that name?”

He stared at her with a puzzled look. “What do you mean? You just spoke with her in the principal’s office a few minutes ago.”

She blinked, unsure of what he meant.

“Principal’s office? This is the first time I’ve seen you today,” she responded, her concern deepening. “Are you sure you’re feeling alright?”

The words made him uneasy. It didn’t make sense. ‘How could she not remember? ‘

They had been arguing not long ago—there was no way she could have forgotten that.

“Are you sure you can’t remember her?” he asked again.

“I don’t know what you’re talking about,” she said softly. “I’ve never met anyone named Lucy.”

He ran a hand through his hair, his mind racing for some kind of explanation.

His eyes scanned the place for some clues, until they caught something from the corner of his vision—a flash of silver. Lyka’s watch.

He glanced at it quickly, then did a double-take. The time and date was off.

“What’s the date today?”

Lyka raised an eyebrow, a hint of confusion still in her eyes, but she answered anyway.

And this only deepened his confusion. Today was the same date he was supposed to be gunned down.

He rubbed his temples, then leaned back against the wall, trying to steady his racing thoughts.

‘Think. I can’t panic now,’ he told himself, taking a deep breath to steady his nerves.

He forced himself to focus. His first thought was that he was trapped in some kind of illusion, that everything around him—the school, the people—was just a lie, a construct of his mind.

But then, the other possibility surfaced: what if his memories with Lucy weren’t real?

That thought was scary, but he quickly pushed it aside.

He could remember everything so clearly—the way she spoke, the look in her eyes, their time together, though brief, was filled with unforgettable moments. Those memories felt too real to be false.

Instead of searching his surroundings for clues, he slipped his hand into his pocket. There it was—the bottle of pills Lucy had given him. His suspicion was right.

He took a step back from his former teacher.

‘If she doesn’t remember Lucy, then maybe she’s not real. Or worse… maybe she’s an enemy’ he eyed her cautiously, every instinct telling him to stay on guard.

He was ready to cast a flame ball, to burn her down where she stood.

But then another thought stopped him in his tracks. ‘What if she’s the real thing?’

Lucy had been dragged into this mess despite her powers

So—

Pulling in and erasing the memories of ordinary humans wasn’t out of the question.

As he was deep in thought, another voice echoed from the side. He turned to find Elaine there, expecting her to say something—but instead, she grabbed his arm and pulled him along.

“Teacher, I’m borrowing him for a while!” Elaine said, quickening her pace until they reached the base of the stairway.

“What are—”

Elaine cut him off. “What’s going on? Everyone’s lost their memories!”

Asher, surprised, grabbed her shoulder.

“You still remember Lucy?” he asked urgently.

Elaine raised an eyebrow. “Of course I remember your girlfriend with the attitude. I’d like to forget her, but she’s too annoying.”

He let go of her and sighed in relief. It was a good thing he hadn’t burned Lyka to ashes—he’d almost become both a murderer and an arsonist.

The thought of burning the school earlier crossed his mind, but now, with his mind clearer, he realized just how close he had come to making an irreversible mistake.

It was safe to assume that all the students and staff in the school were real and just under the influence of whoever was responsible for this mess.

Elaine, noticing his silence, spoke up, hoping he had a plan. “So, what now? You’re the only one in the school who seems to remember, other than me.”

He didn’t have a clear answer yet. It was true that he could use magic now, but his understanding and application of it was very basic.

In addition, his experience and knowledge with the supernatural was very lacking. Asking him to come up with a plan out of nowhere was a stretch.

“We start by finding Lucy. She’s the only one who can figure this out.”

Elaine rolled her eyes. “And why do you think she’d know what to do? I think you’re giving her too much credit just because you’re in a relationship.”

He didn’t respond, and just walked away. Explaining that his girlfriend was a demon would be a waste of time. And she might even suspect Lucy to be behind all of this. Demons didn’t exactly have a good reputation, after all.

As they walked, students began whispering to each other, casting quick glances his way.

Some even stepped aside, afraid to get too close. It was obvious—none of them remembered anything from the past few weeks, including the time he had been gone.

“Did you try stepping outside the school grounds?” he asked

She shook her head. “No, I haven’t checked it yet. Let’s go to the gate, then.”

He nodded, and they quickly made their way toward it.

As they made their way toward the gate, Elaine spotted a few of her friends in the distance. They were chatting and laughing, acting like nothing was wrong.

“Hey, what are you two up to?” Rachel called out, waving them over.

She glanced between the two with a mischievous grin. “Looks like you’re finally making a move on him, huh?”

Elaine’s face immediately turned red. “What? No!” she blurted, flustered.

She quickly waved her hands in front of her, trying to brush it off. “Don’t be ridiculous,”

But the teasing didn’t stop, and her blush deepened. She could barely meet his eyes, hoping he wouldn’t notice.

Rachel laughed and shook her head at her friend’s funny attempt to deny it.

“Sure, sure, whatever you say. But to be honest, you two look good together,” she teased, her grin widening

Elaine’s face flushed even deeper, and she quickly turned her gaze away. “Stop it,” she muttered, brushing off the comment.

“We don’t have time for a chat,” Asher interjected, cutting off any further comments before they could drag on.

He started walking again, moving ahead.

Elaine quickly followed, shooting Rachel a look that said she’d talk later, but for now, they had a bigger issue to deal with.

“Hey, what she said before, it’s not true,” Elaine quickly explained, her voice a little defensive.

Asher didn’t even glance at her, his focus still ahead.

“I don’t really care if you like me or not,” he answered bluntly, his tone making it clear that he wasn’t interested in the subject.

Elaine paused, his words stinging more than she wanted to admit. ‘What a jerk,’
