The rebirth of planet Resoria Z9

Chapter 19

I walked out of the glass study room leaving her behind with her thoughts.I was distracted by my own thoughts and had a goal that I could succeed in after having a discussion with her androids. I knew from the beginning that I could not trust the one in the middle. It made me respond to it as if it was a human and to the blind eye one would believe that I was speaking with someone with a high status. 

I disliked the feeling I got each time I finished speaking with that android. It left me with a regret for allowing it to speak to me in that manner. How would I address the android without having my neck bruised again I wondered. I turned my phone off and headed for the entry leading out of the university. My lie was not completely fabricated, it was true I would be meeting someone. Someone that only got a warning after endangering my safety and assaulting John.

I felt excitement that I would be meeting them without Jessica. It could be the chance I needed to prove to my father that I would bring him back his honor and reputation that became destroyed when his work was presented to the university. It was not revealed to the world afraid it would bring attention that was deemed unnecessary and a danger. But I was glad that I was given enough time to prove to the world that my hard working father's intelligence was not surpassed by a small student with no resources or wealth. 

I saw life and the light vanish in my father's eyes as he tried to look strong in front of me when all of his colleagues were celebrating her work. A man is not supposed to break down in front of another, especially in front of his son. I learned that from my father's behavior. He never shed a tear in front of me but that day I saw one glistening in his eyes. 

It stung when I could not support him through this difficult chapter of his life and worried he would not see himself as a man anymore. Everybody knows what a man commits when he does not see himself as one. I would not put the blame on her but on my own for knowing he would vanish himself from this earth on his own terms because of his failed work. I was aware of this dangerous mindset that is infected through men but I could not change the mindset of a gender nor could I embrace the flaws I have learned from a young age. All I could do was to be a shoulder to support one another. 

It was one of the many reasons why I was walking towards the androids who were now standing in the small park close to the forest. The park was only a distance away from the university. I was glad that I did not have to be seen by her; there was no possibility that she would find us. I looked around my surroundings more than a few times before I walked over to the androids who waited for me. When I arrived at them I made sure there was a distance between us. I did not want to be picked up again and have my neck worse than bruised. It would be broken I was sure of by the tension that lingered between us. 

I refused to speak at first worried that the androids would have lured me into here and she would be close by confronting me that this was all planned out in order to see if I was more than just real. Real in honesty and the sincerity I have given to her. I ignored the loud pulse that grew louder in my ears. I was more than afraid when I stood in front of them in the middle of night with no one witnessing if something would have happened to me. 

Through the strong need to flee and desperately to live I knew deep inside that it was not more important than rebuilding my fathers honor and mine. If I did not then there would be no time before I would be standing there mourning the loss of my father. Before I could muster bravery my words were cut off by the loud voice coming from the android in the middle. 

'' Time is not ours before she comes. There are Coordinates spread out in the forest. if you find them I will pave a way for your future.'' Said the android named Bortums with a promising voice.
