Marjohn was laying on the ground bloodied just like Rin when he last beat him but now, even the face was not left alone.
Rin felt more mature after that as he stretched his back. "Still could speak?"
"…", Marjohn's lips were busted as well as his eyebrows and eyelids that it made him hard to look at Rin. A few teeth got knocked off in the fight. Marjohn felt pain all over his body, especially on the torso and on the face.
"Well, I got to go since I left someone waiting for me.", Rin turned his back and said, "I doubt that you'll go to school for a few days after this so if you're better and decided to go back, talk to me since we're already friends.", then Rin walked away and after a few steps, his walking speed and strides increased as he felt a little guilty and embarrassed after he said that all. If other knew that he said all that, he may die from embarrassment. Well, not actually.
He smiled and dirt off himself as he make a turn to the left and disappear from the spectators view.
"So he is so insecure about his abilities that he is ashamed to be known by anyone. Maybe I'm just too insecure back then just like him. Now that I remember it, many did took the initiative to talked to me friendly but I probably ticked them off somehow. Heheh.", Rin laughed at himself as he took another turn to the left and saw Dana waiting in front of the school.
…..
Marjohn was still unable go stand after Rin left. He placed his forearm to cover his eyes. At the same time, a faint smile formed on his lips.
While the students that expected to witness a drama didn't expect the outcome of the fight to become sensitive and… wholesome. At that time the students that witnessed that incident, including the guys, felt Rin was a really cool guy. They left feeling satisfied. If they helped Marjohn then that would make the whole thing meaningless. After all, they knew that Rin held back. But still, they wonder, how did Rin changed so much?
…..
"Sorry for making you wait.", Rin said apologetically.
"Took you long enough!", Dana smiled.
"What? Are you angry? Why are you smiling?"
"Nothing, I just felt that you're really cool.", Dana started to walked without waiting Rin.
"Huh? What's that all about?", Rin calmly asked himself while his face red but on the inside, he was so happy, his heart was palpitating, 'Me, cool?! How?! Why?!", then he followed.
Rin asked as he followed Dana, "So, where are we going to buy it? Is it going to take long?"
"No, do you want to go home early that badly?", Dana showed her trademark, cutely angry.
'Ah~ I want to teased her~', Rin enjoyed the sight of Dana being cute in any way.
"No, of course it's not that, I just have something to do after this.", Rin felt tired just remembering what he would do but he felt guilty leaving the hospital back then.
"Then, it is actually very quick. We buy them at any store then we exchanged numbers again.", Dana explained when she realized that Rin had to go something important based on his expression.
Just like Dana said, it went pretty quick and they already exchanged contact numbers once again as Rin waved his hand goodbye.
"Call me after you're done!", Dana lightly shouted while she took a different direction from where Rin needed to go.
After separating from Dana, Rin headed to the hospital his mother is at, If she's still there. Not a long time had passed, Rin reached the hospital and asked in the counter for information.
"Umm, is Natasha Gotha still here?", Rin asked.
"Natasha Gotha? Wait, Sir, could I asked who you are?", the nurse professionally asked.
"I'm his son.", Rin firmly said.
Even though it is a bit suspicious the nurse agreed, "Okay, Sir, I will have to take a look at the records."
"Then please.", Rin was expecting that someone, though he do not know, already took the responsibility on how to do the rest to his mother but he was still surprised when he heard the nurse said, "Natasha Gotha was already taken out from the hospital a week ago.", the nurse's suspicion increased when she though how could a son not know that his mother was already taken out of the hospital a week ago?
"Could you tell me who are these people that took her?", Rin politely asked.
"I'm sorry but that is the most information I can give to you. You have to first verify your identity."
Seeing that the nurse guard is up, Rin had no choice but to give up. He doubt that his identification would be verified if he took out his school id.
"Okay." Rin's face saddened a little, "Thank you.", he then left.
When he exited the hospital with a dejected look, he heard someone called him. He looked around to see Elihim waving at him amidst the dense crowd passing the street.
"Master…", his hope suddenly increased, 'Maybe he knew something about this.' He quickly went to his master and asked without a pause, "Master, umm, do you know who took my mother?"
Elihim stared at him with cold eyes before smacking his head, saying, "Could you stop rephrasing something into something weird?"
"Huh? Weird?", Rin was confused.
Elihim just sighed and answered non-chalantly, "Of course, I know. A master needed to have a background check on his disciple, maybe."
'Huh? Why did you answered like you aren't sure about that? Aren't you the God of Knowledge and Wisdom?', Rin thought.
"About your mother, don't worry. Her real children took care of her when they heard the news.", Elihim said so casually but Rin was a bit hurt about the fact that he said "real"
