Runaway Alpha

If only I can record this very image of these idiots who tried to pick up on me, I can say that it will surely make me to a dozen laughs. Truly, it will make my two little siblings laugh… yeah I will sure to tell it to them sometimes

I clap my hands to remove all the dust that have been have been put in my palms since I crashed that rock into ashes

Alright, trashes are gone.

Now that I can completely go away and be in my way to the library, I somehow feel relax.

Now.. I just remember that there are some people who are watching us. How funny, surely in their mind it is I who started it. No matter what I did they will, with no doubt, side other people thinking that it is I who is wrong.

Protect this village? Well, protecting my family can be easy for me. But to protect people who don’t care about my existence… I doubt whether I can do that. Even so, I am sure that not all of them think that way. But then the majority would lies to those people who belittles me.

Just like what the old saying, is do not let the thoughts of others harm you because the thoughts and perspectives you and your family have is what matters the most.

It sounds like I am speaking like an old person who are with lots of experience even though I am so sure that mine is too little compared to adults. Maybe this is because I can say that I have read a lot of books making feel old at some way?

If only you can see how I look at new book, my professor says that I look like someone who is hungry and craving for knowledge. Even so, thanks to that knowledge hunger, I can ditch classes who is to boring to listen to.

Well, I wonder why they are teaching a lesson for hours and just beat around the bushes. Can’t they just tell it straightly and move on to another lesson? I sigh and not mind that kind of boring teaching system.

Now that I am in front of the library, I go pass to a very familiar person

What is he even doing here? It is not that it is forbidden to go in this place but as I can tell, he isn’t hanging in here often.

I tried to avoid the brother of Lhana, which is Aillard. He seems to notice me before I have the chance to hide

How weird it is for him to go around this area. As much as I know he will just borrow books and go away without staying since he do read books while practicing his combat. How did I know that? Lhana told me. She was concerned on how this brother of her seems to be pushing himself too much.

Now that I had the chance to somehow notice his glare, I can’t help but feel like something is weird.

I know what my eye says, that looks, that gestures… I feel like he is a sus. Truly, he do looks so suspicious

He waved his hands and there I now confirmed that he is send here looking for me. He looks as if he was obligated to see me. Kind of, being forced to do so.

What kind of thing does he want from me now? I’m not in the mood of talking and hearing words about whether I am a bad influence for his little sister or not.

I was surprise when he tapped my shoulder

“You. seems to be doing just fine”

He mumbled and even if he is smiling. I can say that there is a dark aura surrounding him as if he had been showing me his intent defeating me

Just what the hell is wrong with this guy? It is not as if I am trying to find the fire. If he find me irritating he should just fuck off.

“Congratulations, by the way, don’t let Lhana be affiliatedwith your poblems. You should know how important she is for me and my family. The next time I see you make her feel any less bad-” he didn’t said what he really meant to say. It is as if he deliberately cut it of and let me just figure out what he mean by that “-I have to go now…”

I just shrug my shoulder as he left because I feel like all the upper classmans are making a big fuss whenever someone younger than them exceeded their limits. They will surely make a fight to say that they are much stronger than them

Speaking of…

Did he just declare a fight with me?

I somehow feel dumb about realizing it this late because as I look back to see where he is… he is finally miles away

Exaggeration are intend for that

I just let it be because it is not that he will duel with me right at this moment and even so, my parents will surely not want a fight with this condition of mine.

I am not scared to face him tho. But the fact that he can be a laughing stock if he loss in our fight, I don’t like the idea of Lhana hating me for that- Why do I even care about that?

Soeaking of Lhana, right after the exam, she went off. Saying she have urgent matters to attend to. Wait- why am I even thinking about that person?

Let’s just think of something else.

Now, I feel like I am a little kid who have no right to walk on their own since all my actions are limited.

Didn’t they forget how I tried to defend everyone from that snake? Isn’t it unfair for me to be treated like a small child having his actions surveilled? It might not be like that but all the eyes of everyone I met as I walk around and stand in here seems like they are analyzing some guinea pig who caught their interest.

Not mindjng them, a thought came on my mind.

I am thinking about the scale of the snake like person we have fought before I got this strange mark on me. I saw how his skin was displayed on the very center that is on top of the front door of this library

It’s as if they are displaying to the village have defeated a thing like that

Now that you think of it,

I wonder what that creature is doing by now. I am sure that he lost his hands because of my father’s doing but is it still alive? Even though… his skin are unluckily displayed in this area but it is not that it is his whole skin and it’s just a partial of his scale.

Maybe I should have asked it to my father than have a headache thinking and guessing what might be the thing that happened to that guy.

I opened the door of the library and entered so that I can see whether there are lots of people and the my luck there are none

Even so, it feels weird. It is as if… I feel like it was kinda set up. It does feels so strange. It is not like this when I always come in the library. There will still be 1 or 2 people sitting in a corner but now it is as empty as a old shell

I slowly walk to the place of the librarian so that I can show him the permission of guiding me since I have this thing.. what I mean to say is this key. Which I am wearing on my neck. I gestured my hand to remove the ley that hang using the necklace, but before I even do so,

“We are waiting for your arrival Mr. Emrick Damen”

I somehow feel surprised about him to call me that way because whenever he needs to call me over, he address me or called me by my name

“Can I enter the exclusive chamber? I am quite interested in what I can see inside”

You can see a smile creeping in his face as he slightly bowed his head as if he is giving me a respect. Weird.

Now it feels so weird because it is as if someone is watching that is why he is acting that way. I look around and saw nothing. It looks so ordinarily as if there is nothing wrong that is happening

He then walked out of his spot and guide me to the direction of the entrance of the exclusive chamber where different kind of books and treasured scrolls are hidden inside that library

And what surprised me the most is the mechanism that occur when I stepped on the center of the library, suddenly a glowing light was show before us© NôvelDrama.Org - All rights reserved.
