“Wh- what did you say?” ask Atun
“…. You heard me right?”
“Y-you! That’s going too far, Law!” Shouted Rena
“Let me ask you, I told you about the pack of wolves before they actually arrive, you had 2 minutes, what did you do with those precious minutes? You not only did not hide to make an ambush but go straight towards the wolves this limited the mobility of Rena”
“But my role is to tank the enemy attack!” argue Rena
“That’s under the premise that you CAN actually tank the enemies I did told you that they were a pack of wolves Based on the rated that you were losing your rock armor you could tank all the wolves for 2 minutes at most because of that you didn’t give Alexia enough time to cast her plasma graveyard and the wolves escaped, when that happen you already lose the battle.
Another thing, Atun, why did you use that skill?”
“Among the skills that I have, the gas shotgun is the most powerful o-“
“And it seems the most mana consuming because of that you can at most use 5 shotguns before you lose your mana.
Another thing seems that you haven’t mastered the vaporization at the peak because it takes you a while to gather the essence of water and the vaporize it in gas”
“W-well you are right, you are right b-but, among people of my age, my understanding of the law is at pe-“
“You don’t seem to know in what situation are you, you are not in the school, this is the jungle! if you make that kind of mistakes, the consequences, in the best case scenario is that you lose, in the worst case scenario is that you lose your life” I said before Atun could finish what he’s saying
“You have an interval of 30 seconds before you can ‘reload’ your shotgun, in those 30 seconds, Alexia could have died at least 2 times”
Atun wanted to say something but at the end, he just ducks his head
“And there is you, Alexia, although I agree with the plan of trapping then with your plasma, you need to hide your presence, what the point of trying to ambush the while they can see you? Remember this beast may not be smart but they aren’t stupid either, they can feel who is the one that treats them the most”
Alexia, you look at me and didn’t say anything

“Law! Although I think what you are saying is correct, there are better ways of saying it!” Shouted Rena
“I am sorry but I am not your teacher or your friend, we have a deal so I can’t let you die but If you want to die showing that kind of skill, then, that’s different” I said with a cold voice
“Yo-you!”
“Enough! Rena”
“But Alexia!”
“What he is saying is correct, as the leader of this team, I failed to notice the flaws in our formation and that let us to almost losing our lives by mere wolves.
Law although I also think that are better ways of saying things I still must thank you for pointing these flaws and let us grow, thank you!” said Rena while bowing her head in front of me
“And A-a-another thing,” said Alexia with a trembling voice
“F-for sav-saving me back there, I want to thank your Law” said Alexia with a blushing face
“The three of you return to the cave and wait for me for now on you will practice your skills and I will do the hunt I can’t have you receive injuries every time we go hunting”
“B-but la-“
“No buts! Return” I shouted
When I say that I grab my stick and went to the forest to hunt some beast
I fish 4 demonic fishes and return to the cave
When I got there, there was a bonfire and Alexia, Atun and Rena where waiting there
“This are demonic fish, it will help you heal your injuries, cook them”
Alexia grab the fishes and then cook them.
We were eating in silence when Atun suddenly ask
“Big brother Law, although it may sound rude, I need to ask, What are you doing here? I cant understand why a kid, who is also blind, will be this forest and by the way you hunt It seems that you didn’t arrive a few days ago, you seem to be an expert that have been here all his life”
Although Rena and Alexia didn’t say anything, they must be interesting because they look at me with anticipation
“Why I am here…………. Well I have my own circumstances
I need power, a lot power-
For power I have sacrificed a lot of thing
And I will do it again if I need to”
“Why are you in such a Hurry for power?” ask Rena
I thought back there went we were at the village and the sudden attack occur.
I though back there when my dad smile at me and send me away.
And then I remember
When my mom took away the legacy.
Fury, wrath this were emotions that bitch didn’t take away from me
I look at the bonfire and said
“To kill someone!”
……………………………………………………………………………………………..
“What are you doing here?”
When law asked that, I stop eating and waited for the answer of Law.
Although I don’t him for a long time.
Although he is save us just to take the skill books
Although he is just a bad-mouthed brat
Why is that…. Every time I look into his eyes.
It feels that, he is the loneliest person in the world?
“I need power, a lot power-
For power I have sacrificed a lot of things
And I will do it again if I need to”
I look into his eyes but I see something else.
Despair, the despair that make people go crazy.
How can a 13-year-old kid make those kind of eyes?
What did he experience?
“Why are you in such a Hurry for power?” asked Rena
But law remain silent.
It was strange but the loneliness in his eyes began to transform into something else…
I could feel it
His murdering intent
The desperate wish to kill, to slaughter, to make a bloodbath
“To kill someone!”
When he said that the murderous intent was suffocating
But, In those crimson eyes that only has vengeance in his eyes
I could also feel it.
Sadness.
As someone who has lose the most important thing in the world……
Law, just who are you?
