I Reincarnated In Oushitsu Kyoushi Haine [NOT EDITED YET]

3: I Will Become Your Shield

Still Ella POV

When we were almost out of the forest, we saw the orphanage (the orphanage was just infront of the forest) were halfway swallowed by fire.

There were a group of shady guys that seem to be the one who started the fire. Heine quickly pulled me into a nearby bushes and listening the conversation between the orphanage's madam and one of the shady guys.

"Madam, you're supposed to pay the money ya know. This is our land ya know."

"Please stop it! This land is no one's. Why do you suddenly come here, burn our house and asking for money?!"

"*sigh* A stubborn one aren't ya? Omaira! (You guys) Keep burning the building until ashes and take the children into our wagon! We can sell them to make money!!"

All his underlings laughed and cheered at the others misery.

"And for you, madam. I know someone who'll loves you. *laugh*"

He captured madam and walked back to their wagon. The building turned into ashes and the children kept captured one by one.

My eyes turned red (not literally, just an expression) from this scene. I was about to get out from the bush until someone yanked me back. "What are you doing?" Heine whispered.

"What do think?! I'm gonna punch those guys into pulp!" I replied back whisper-yelled. "No, you can't." He replied emotionlessly.

"Excuse you? Then what are my combats training for?!" I'm a bit mad at him; did he underestimated me because I'm a woman.

"Because of your bad temper, you might be captured. Also you're the only one here that have the combat skills. I'm only a beginner, remember? What if you were captured, how can I save you?" Heine said sternly.

I touched by his words; it makes me felt warm. He only worried about me despite us knowing each other in one week. But that resulting others in danger. With his overthinking brain, he probably blamed himself at most. I looked at his hand that was holding mine. He squeezed mine since he can't clenched his hand.
