Fated

As the days go by, the Light prince captured Tobias' heart. Because of it, they learned that the man is really just a pawn. Though they still don't know who they are working for.

Adriel told his friends that they need to fasten their plan and they will use their instructor.

"How are we going to do that?" Ryder asked.

"The same way that they are doing it," Adriel answered.

Ryder frowned still confused.

"Dumbo." Noa snicker.

"What Adi means is that we will continue acting weak and continue to get the sympathy from that Tobias." Davin cleared up.

"Ooh~" Ryder chuckled awkwardly.

"We need to find who their boss is. If they are working with Arnites or someone else." Adriel said.

"How?" Carson asked.

Adriel only grinned at him.

The next day, Adi is alone on the bench watching the others train. He felt someone sitting beside him.

"Why are you not joining the rest?" It was Tobias.

Adriel smiled thinly. "They will just mock me for being weak. I'm nothing but a servant's son that the queen favored," Adi said.

Tobias smiled thinly. Truth be told, Tobias is not a bad man. He just likes to be acknowledged. The director of the school is actually his half-brother but his identity was hidden because he is an illegitimate son.

"You know, I honestly know how that feels," he said.

Adriel looked at him. Tobias sighed. "I was bullied in my time. Well, I think until now. That's why I'm trying my best to prove to them that I can be something else. Something or someone that they shouldn't look down to," he said.

Adriel felt his sincerity. "You know what, sir, I think there's nothing wrong with being weak," he said.

Tobias looked at him frowning. Adi smiled.

"Because of what you said, I realized that I shouldn't feel bad for myself if I am weaker than the others. Why? Because this is me. This is who I am. The deities gave me these powers because it's enough for me.

I can use it to do a good deed and help others. There are stronger beings out there that can look out for me if I need help. Just like you sir. You are stronger than me. You can protect me while I do the same with those who are weaker than me," Adi said.

Tobias is looking at him in amazement.

"You think I can protect you?" He asked.

"Of course, sir. I can feel you are a good person. Maybe we are just cautious about what the others will say about us. But I remembered my mother told me once, that being greater than the others doesn't define the power you possess.

These powers are gifts from the deities. They gifted these to us because they trust us that we will use these to help others not to hurt or abuse others.

It doesn't matter if we are weaker or not. As long as we use it for the right purpose," Adi said smiling.

Tobia smiled, "Now I understand why the Light Queen favors you. You know what, I realized a lot because of what you said. We shouldn't feel inferior just because we are weaker. We shouldn't force ourselves to fit in," he said. Adriel smiled at him.
