For the next 10 days, Faust lives on his own, cooks his own food and for Bella. He trains all by himself.
He built a training ground all by himself in grass fields after being turned down by Yang to train him.
Even though, things are hard at school and with any person he makes contact with. As they look at him like a loser. He started to ignore the insults and curses and moved forward with positivity.
He knows he won't be staying long on this island anyway, so he does not bother about the villagers and the kids of his age making fun of him and calling him a loser.
"Bella oi! Eat up your food fast! Grandpa will be coming today." Faust says as he pushes a plate of dog food towards Bella with a bright smile on his face. It is the 10th day and he cannot wait to meet Gus.
"Yosh! I cooked spinach and fried tofu with spices, I hope they will be sufficient for lunch! Grandpa will be tired all these days so I shouldn't tire him more by burdening him with work as soon as he arrives."
"Mmm and fresh, sweet tangy mangoes as dessert! Nicely done." Faust gives a pat to himself on the shoulder for the work he has done.
"Let's goooo!" He and Bella heads out, he ties a rope around his waist with the other end of the rope is tied around the collar of Bella.
It is to be cautious while getting down his hill. He could not leave Bella alone on slippery snow. The villagers and the old people that come across him in the path stares at him in an odd way.
Finally, as he reaches the tip of a hill a little far from the port, the ship is already here in the port and many people seem to be walking out of the ship.
"Ahhhhh! We must be late, Bells, let's go soon." Faust hurries quickly once he sees the ship, he is not able to hold his emotions back. He laughingly reaches the port and stands in front of a huge ship.
It is a cruise ship so Faust is caught off guard with the vastness and beauty of the ship. Faust stays in awe with his mouth open. He walks slowly while his eyes are still fixated on the shining colors and the material of the ship.
"Oh! If it isn't Faust, Fausty! I'm here! It's your grandpa!" A voice is heard from a distance. The face of Faust instantly lit up with what is before him.
Gus is running towards him carrying his bags, "Woahhhh! Grandpaaa!" Faust immediately takes a leap and hugs Gus tightly, his arms are wrapped around Gus' neck and his body covers his face entirely.
"Ow ow ow. I-i'm I'm nowt ab-ble to br-brweathe" Gus suffered with Faust covering his face and choking his neck, he repeatedly taps on Faust's back to let him go.
"Ohh! Grandpa!!! I missed you so much! Look at you, you became chubby in these 10 days. You must be eating lots of new foods and slacking off on bed huh?" Faust lets go of Gus' face and starts evaluating Gus as tears roll off his eyes.
It is just frustrating for Faust that Gus left him and spent a long 10 days on the mainland while he is left alone in his small house.
"Anyway, I'm so happy to see you again, so did you made sure my friends are settled well and in a good neighbourhood? In a good school? Is everything good for her?"
"Especially Nick! He needs a place with lots of food. So does that place have lot of food huh?" Faust attacks Gus with a question after question while showing concern towards his friends.
"Ah, let's talk about these things at home, I'm hungry, let's go eat and talk." Gus replies.
"Heh, sureee, let's go. I have cooked delicious food for you, your mouth will be filled with water instantly as soon as you see the food I prepared heh" Faust climbs the back of Gus and goes for a piggyback ride while boasting about his cooking.
"Faust!" As him and Gus are about to go, a voice is heard from behind. Gus stops moving forward and Faust turns his face back to see who called him.
Gus however does not move or talk or show any emotion, he hides his face as he looks down without taking a step.
There are a bunch of people seem to be standing in a circle, a person is seems lying unconscious in between the circle.
"How did he faint suddenly?"
"Did you see someone attacking?"
"I don't think so, Yang is here too."
"What is happening? He suddenly fainted while standing here."
The crowd gather around keeps talking about the fainted person.
*"Huh? Fainted while standing? What kind of pathetic person he is?"* Faust thinks to himself while being a bit annoyed. He wants to go home and eat with Gus but it seems like it is being delayed for him.
"Faust!" The voice is heard again. Faust being surprised, he looks either way to see who is calling him.
"Let's place him on the table under the shade of the shelter." The crowd of people decided and carry the fainted person and placed him under a shelter and are trying to wake him up.
"Faust! Wake up" the same voice is heard again. Faust slowly opens his eyes. His is in between a crowd and on the table in a shelter.
He is confused as to how he ended up here. "Are you ok Faust? You suddenly collapsed." One of the crew members of the ship asks Faust.
*"Huh? I? Collapsed? Fainted? How can I?"* Faust holds his head while trying to remember what had happened.
Suddenly a stroke of lightning hit him in his head, his eyes widened and his breath becomes heavy.
"Wh-who was the one?" Faust asks in a shock.
