"I was a child of the heir of a rich family, an illegitimate child. Before I was born my mom was given a choice, it's either she leaves me at the orphanage and continue being an heir to the family or leave the family to raise me. the members of the family did their best to persuade my mother to leave me at the orphanage. but she still chooses to leave and cease being an heir to the family. That's what my mom told me when I was in high school, where I met Zelean."
Zyren sighed after he continued telling his story.
"Everything was fine before but when he appeared, I always told stories about him to mom because I admire him for being awakened at such a young age, but ever since then my mom tried his best to find Information about him and his family. One day I passed by the house of Zelean and saw my mom there kneeling at the front of their house. I can hear people shouting at her to leave, but my mom still kneels there and tries to call someone."
I won't leave until you come out! you need to see your son!
"'son' that word alone makes me realize what is going on, she was calling out for my father to see me and Zelean and I were brothers. I rushed to her to take her home, but she was so stubborn and also told me to kneel and wait for him to come out, so I pulled her up and dragged her back home. The next day after that, I went to school and many students already knew what happened. The news spread so fast and from that time, there is no day that I have never been bullied. They call my mom a home wrecker and me a son of a whore. Ignored them but that made it worse, they made trouble for me like I was trying to surpass Zelean and trying to take away his right to inherit their family's legacy. for me, admiring the person I idolized, to the person being despised by the person I admired."
Claude just listened to Zyren until the end of my story and Zyren can feel the pity from the look of his face. However He doesn't need it, He doesn't like to be pitied. That's why he tried to refuse Layla's kindness, the principal's fatherly love and him being a good teacher.
Zyren stood up from his seat and said to him before he took a step out of the seat row
"but I can survive on my own sir, I might be a loser in their eyes but I'm strong without their help. and if I could meet people who will treat me well, I will take your teachings and make friends."
He was about to leave but Zyren stopped as Claude called and asked.
"say lass, what is your name?"
"My name is Zyren, Zyren Nightroad"
'Zyren, Interesting kid. But Nightroad, where have I heard that Surname before?'
Zyren slowly walked away and headed to Xul who was gobbling up the food. He doesn't know why, but he felt at peace when he was close to Xul. He then started to smile, however his smile immediately disappeared when he heard a violent cough.
'Huh? blood? Why did I vomited blood'
Xul vomited blood and trembled, his hands were shaking, he remembered that moment when he cough out blood before he died, although he had forgotten some of his memories, he still remembered every story that he read, made and treasured, because he knew that is the only thing he know to escape.
'Escape'
That word was implanted to his mind, but he forgot who or where he was escaping from. He then heard a voice.
"What the- are you okay?!"
'No do I look okay with you?'
That's what Xul wanted to say, however he cannot say it as Instructor Claude came and checked his condition.
It was that moment...
"Woah~! Zyren was spreading his misfortune!"
"Yeah that person vomited blood when he walked close to him"
Sarcastic comments filled the air at that moment, however it was not aiming at Xul, but it was aiming at Zyren.
Claude then raised his voice.
"All of you shut up!"
