Har and Marco were standing up and were ready to fight each other with their life on the line, Har had trained his body for this fight long before, but when he lost to him in the way he did he felt even weaker, Har knew that he had to get stronger after fighting Tokkou, a person that was way out of his league but even after facing Marco a person that can be considered in his level he lost miserably so that's why Har couldn't back down now, it was a fight of honor and pride rather than a fight to protect and Har knew it that's why he drove Marco away from anyone, this way he could use everything to his advantage without worrying that something bad may happen to the people around him

"I wonder why you decided to stay, I'm pretty sure you saw what happened to Teras when he fought our monster, do you think that someone can improve that much in a such short amount of time?"

Marco asked Har as he slowly started walking around him, Har laughed

"Haha, do you think you know Teras? this guy isn't afraid of dying like you and I are, he said it himself, he probably won't win the fight but will make sure to slow the monster as much as he can until we beat you to a pulp. Do you understand what that means? My captain told me to finish you off quickly and that's what I'm going to do"

Har said as he charged at Marco with his rocky hands, Marco launched a fire attack at Har but Har blocked most of the attack with his covered in rock now hands, after running through the attack Har managed to punch Marco launching his body back, but with a swift step Marco kicked him in ribs, the two of them exchanged equally damaging blows but Har was still the victor on this trade of attacks

After the attack Marco grabbed a flashing sphere and threw it at Har blinding him, he then attacked him with a combo of attacks, he first punched Har with a hook and followed with a barrage of attacks to his chest, and to end his combo he used his fire powers to launch him back, Har crushed at big tree damaging its trunk

"What's up kid? Can't handle the heat?"

Marco said as he launched himself with his fire at Har and kicked him to his head and then blasted fire out of his leg, luckily Har moved his head out of the attack's radius, if he didn't then his whole face would have burned, after dodging Har enhanced his hand with mana and struck Marco to his chest slamming him down on the ground, Har then used his power to create spikes bellow Marco and on his rocky hand piercing him both ways, Marco left a scream of pain while he spat blood out of his mouth, he then with a clever maneuver he kicked Har away and backed down

"I see that you resorted to close combat, turns out you are not skilled enough to use the power of earth so you resulted to using your body"

Marco said to Har so he can affect him psychologically

"Why are you complaining you bastard? That's how the game is played if you don't like it then you can give up"

Har told him with a smile as he recovered from the attack

"I see then let me use a trick of my own in this game"

Marco said as he quickly drank a red potion, his wounds then quickly healed

"What a joke"

Har said as he saw Marco's healing, the two men then charged at each other once again, and after clashing with each other Marco used his overheated body to burn the exposed skin of Har, Har couldn't defend against his attack since he focused all of his mana at his attacks, they both exchanged attacks but Marco still had the upper-hand since he had healed his wounds previously

Things started to not look good for Har, hit after hit he became weaker and his senses were abandoning his body, his legs became weaker, honestly, it was a miracle that he hadn't fallen yet, but something inside him prevented him from doing so, was it his will or his true power? None! The only reason he was still standing was because of his D E T E R M I N A T I O N. Nothing else could possibly help him fight like he did, because even when Har was beaten up by punches, kicks, and fire attacks he was still attacking back with his own ways, launching rocks at Marco or simply fighting with his own body, Har was trying anything just so he wouldn't lose, he had a duty to finish him so he felt like he had to complete it either by breaking himself or sacrificing himself, anything he could do he did just to even the chances of him to win but after minutes of fighting he was starting to fall, his hearing was starting getting distorted and his vision was beginning to get blurry

'Is this it? Do I die after that? Or does SOMEONE saves me as always?'

Har thought as his legs slowly gave up on him, Marco kept on hitting him with fire attacks even after Har was falling down

"Get up you big bastard! The fun ain't over yet!"

Marco yelled to the almost unconscious body of Har

'I wish I could but I can't anymore, even after using this "sealed" power of mine I was still unable to at least come near HIM, maybe I will just give up, yeah that sounds good'

Har thought as he lost consciousness

….

"Make sure you don't cause any trouble Har, you are stronger than the kids your age so you must be more cautious about how much strength you put even in when you are all playing"

my mom said as she fixed my clothes

Even when I was a kid I was still very massive, I was about one head taller than everyone in my grade and most of the time taller than my upperclassmen of mine, and this tall height of mine brought me a way more strong body than any kid in my age wanted or needed, so because of that most people saw me as a monster, an abnormality, someone that you shouldn't come near, I wanted to change that but people didn't give me a chance, I was always labeled as the weird guy

But I couldn't make my mom sad so the only thing I could say was

"I won't thank you mom"

I also made sure to put a fake smile on display, sadly I couldn't keep the same smile in school or outside, I honestly don't understand how people can simply ignore a person in need, or in their place to discriminate against a single kid that wants to make friends, all the kids my age didn't even look at me, at least they didn't give me fake hope

"Can I play with you?"

I innocently asked a group of kids in school, and all of them turned around avoiding my eyes and my question, I realize that I'm unwanted but that still hurts me, if only could approach me to play with me, if that ever happened then I would be happy

Suddenly a group of boys approached me, at first I thought that they had good intentions but sadly I was wrong, way too wrong, after entrusting the boys to take me to a place where we could play they surrounded me and started attacking me, I was curled up in a corner covering my head while they kicked and punched me

"Eat that you titan"

A kid said as he threw a rock at me, the rock created a wound and there was the first time someone made me bleed, when I saw the crimson color of my blood I got furious, I started beating all of the kids that bullied my with no ramose or thought about their wellbeing, my rampage was quickly stopped when a teacher intervened my then smaller body away from the injured boys

"What are you doing to those poor kids you monster?"

When my teacher told me that I snapped back to my senses, one of the kids had a broken nose, it was the same kid that threw the rock at me, it was the first time seeing so much blood on someone, and to think that I did that was freighting, after some time my mother came and picked me up from school, she looked very mad, she then apologized to every kid's mother and then left, once we got home she didn't get angry at me, she was simply disappointed

After a sigh, she asked me

"Why did you do this?"

Her voice seemed rather sad but I didn't realize it then, I was only focused on how to get away without getting in trouble

"They started it! I thought they wanted to play but they then started hitting me so I fought back but only when they started throwing rocks at me"

I said with an entitled voice, my mother then got closer to me and hugged me, I was left speechless

"You did good! You are a normal kid so they shouldn't treat you this way but remember this one thing that will help you the rest of your life"

my mom told me as she released me from her hug

"Your hands are only to protect those that are weaker and yourself, don't ever forget that"

My mom said as she grabbed my arms

But not long after a group of people turned their eyes on me and pulled me into them, this group of people didn't make fun of my height or call me stupid nicknames, they actually treated me as a normal human being

….

'I'm sorry mom but you are wrong...'

Har thought as he blasted through the blazing fire that Marco was launching at him, Har managed to cover his whole body with rock

"What the hell are you kid?"

Marco said as he blasted fire to back down but Har was way too fast for him

'the real use of my hands is...'

Har continued to approach Marco with no signs of stopping so in a last-second attempt to drive Har away Marco used most of his mana to launch a great in-size and in-power fire attack, the attack consumed Har

"That's what you get when you are messing with me, you bastard!"

Marco yelled as he saw his flames cover Har

'to protect the people I love from evil, even if it means I have to hurt others'

Har thought as he walked through the fire, he then punched Marco with all of his might at his face, Marco's body flipped with his head swapping places with his feet, Marco was completely defeated by Har, once and for all

"I WILL SAVE EVERYONE!"

Har screamed at the top of his lungs like a war cry
