Together We Level Up

Chapter 17: Rising temperature Part 5

Surya was on his way to his home from school. Of course, there was one place where he was going to go first before his home. The sky had become cloudy and the street was empty. Slowly walking while looking towards the ground, he was heading to Asha's home. This was something that had become part of his daily routine. He knew that most of the time there was someone on the other side of the door listening to him but not once did the door open.

"I look like a mess, hehehe..."

All bloodied and bruised, he was still happy because something major had changed in his life.

"No more school... Maybe we have to move now... Visiting her home will become difficult but still....

I'll find a way somehow."

Having somehow beaten the bullies in his school will undoubtedly cause their family to chase after Surya and his family and the headmaster will definitely not allow him to attend anymore.

"It's fine, I'll get my certificate from somewhere else... At least now I can focus completely on my sport. I'll definitely win."

A somewhat determined expression formed on his face. He keeps walking, and as he was reaching Asha's house, he finally sees her. But as soon as he sees her face, he stops.

She was coming from the opposite side. Alone, in her hunter attire, she was crying as she was walking to her home.

"I forbid you to continue."

"I can't guarantee your safety as he did."

And finally,

"You're still a kid. Don't let the life your sister sacrificed go to waste."

These words were constantly running in her head. She bites her lips, still crying.

'I don't know.... Mom, Dad, Di....

Every one of you left me alone...

I won't listen to you... Never!!!!!!!'

She was feeling sad because of her loneliness, anger because of her family leaving her, guilt because of the guild master.

'I can't ... I can't... I can't....'

She grabs her head.

"Urrgghh."

'I don't know... I'm scared... I don't want to be like this... That hateful school, these scary monsters, that cold and wretched house...

I can't... I can't... I'll end it all.'
