Together We Level Up

Chapter 9: The Beginning part 2

Surya was sitting alone in his classroom which was still empty as it was still very early. Still not over what happened the previous day, and the day before that, and the day before that too.

'When did it become like this?'

'Was I really that bad of a person that everyone hates me?'

'How could I not notice what others felt about me?'

Suddenly, a girl comes into the empty class and asks,

"Is this class 11-B?"

Surya, hearing this, looks at the person standing next to the door.

'So pretty..'

The girl had long brown hair which was kept in a ponytail. Her face was so beautiful in his eyes, it was as if she had just made the entire room light up.

He just kept staring at her aimlessly completely forgetting about what she asked him.

In his eyes, everyone outside his house was now either someone who hurt him or just kept watching him get hurt. He had completely lost his faith in those people. But this new person, who just entered this empty classroom was someone about whom he had no idea.

"Excuse me?? Can you hear me? Am I in the right class?"

Hearing this, Surya came back to his senses and shyly answered,

"Y...Yes, are you a new student?"

"Yeah... I hopefully don't look like a teacher, do I ?"

The girl replied jokingly. Hearing this Surya let out a small chuckle and answered back,

"No, definitely not."

The girl saw the bruises all over his arms and his black eye but she also noticed Surya's physique.

' Well, who can beat up someone like this.'

Curious about the situation, she came and sat in the seat next to him.

"I'm Asha, nice to meet you."

Although the words she was saying were very polite, her tone carried some amount of disdain with it.

But, Surya just couldn't notice that, so, having no idea of it, he replied with a nervous tone,

"I'm Surya."

"So, do you want to tell me what happened to you?"

"........"

Being silent about it was the only thing, he could do.

' It's not that I don't want to tell someone... I want someone to listen to my problems but... But I just can't.'

Seeing his face, Asha continued,

"It's fine, I'm sorry, I shouldn't have asked something like this out of the blue...

But don't the teachers and staff know about this?"

"......"

'They do, but...but... But these hunters..'

When these thoughts came to his mind, Surya's face which only showed sadness, now started burning with rage, his blacked-out eye, now filled with anger, only looked forward towards the board. But then,

"Oi, oi, isn't it our mr. perfect?"

"Hey, shouldn't you wish us good morning, it's rude to not wish people who do so much for you."
