Chereads / Calvin Bradford's Secret Story / Chapter 6 - A Painful Farewell And A New Encounter

Chapter 6 - A Painful Farewell And A New Encounter

Calvin: "So, I'm right?"

Kamo: "Well, you are half correct. There is a time of place for everything, we will discuss it when that time comes."

Calvin: "Understood."

Kamo: "Time to sleep, then."

Both of them slept, Calvin was a little bit uncertain and annoyed by his life. What would happen in the future was his thinking, life in prison seemed so tiresome to him. He began to dream about his friend, Eric.

Calvin: "Eric, Where are you? What are you doing? What will you do?"

Eric: "....."

Calvin: "Respond! Don't make that face, I will come back! I promise."

Eric: "....."

Calvin: "Just wait for me...."

The conversation kept going in his dream all night until morning.

Kamo: "Wake up! It's day time! The guard will be soon here to collect us. Breakfast then to work."

Calvin: "*YAWN* Just 5 minutes."

Kamo: "You're not in your house, and you have to train. Don't you want to help your friend Eric."

Calvin: "Yeah, I want to help Eric.... Wait, how did you know that my friend's name is Eric."

Kamo: "In the night, you kept saying Eric I will come while you were asleep."

Calvin: "*YAWN* I think I should prepare myself."

Kamo: "*hahahaha*"

They waited while talking until the guard arrived to take them to the canteen.

Calvin: "Milk without sugar nor cafe is the best."

Kamo: "It's beneficial for your body."

Calvin: "Let's work hard today, master!"

Kamo: "Of course."

Calvin: "Master, Can I be honest with you."

Kamo: "Yes, you can."

Calvin: "I think I'm a big failure. I was manipulated by a girl and I have let down my friend. I don't have anyone to care about me, I'm unneeded."

Kamo: "Let me say something. Whenever something hurts you, there are 2 options. You can either become the wounded or you can become wise. When everything seems to be going against you, remember that the airplane takes off against the wind, not with it."

Calvin: "...."

Kamo: "You will eventually move on. It's time to work let's go."

Calvin and Kamo continued the same routine for the remaining 15 days until the transfer of Kamo, Calvin became a little stronger and wiser. Kamo taught him what his martial art was about, various techniques, how to deal with some situations, and so on.

The night before the day of Kamo's transfer.

Calvin: "So tomorrow we part our ways. A farewell, again."

Kamo: "I'm your master and you are my disciple, our relationship is stronger than the relationship between a father and a son."

Calvin: "What will I do now without you, master?"

Kamo: "Train harder, try to surpass me! That's your goal until we meet again."

Calvin: "YES, master!"

Kamo: "Tomorrow, I'll you a message. It will help you in the future. Now, go to sleep."

Calvin: "OK!"

That night, a new goal was set to Calvin. A challenge to overcome. But what awaited him was far more than a simple challenge.

Kamo: "(I will see what you are capable of, the last user of the lost martial art. Calvin Bradford!)"

Tomorrow morning, Calvin woke up before the guard's call. As he expected, Kamo was no longer there. He searched the whole-cell about his master's message but it was nowhere to be found.

Calvin: "Where is the message?"

He searched again and again, but he didn't find it. he collapsed on the floor.

Calvin: "Did he dump me? Argh, I can't believe it!"

Then he noticed some writing under the steel bed while lying on the ground.

Calvin: "hum? Bingo!"

He dived under the steel bed.

Calvin: "What's that?"

The writing:

Calvin: "Huh? How am I supposed to understand this? HOOOOOW? Oh, wait! The guard's here!"

Calvin quickly got up and pretended nothing happened, the guard took him to the canteen to take his breakfast. While Calvin was sitting and thinking about this confusing message, the gang from the other day came.

Guy 1: "Look at him all alone."

Guy 2: "What a weakling!"

Calvin: "(I'm gonna beat them!)"

Guy 3: "Where's your partner?"

Calvin: "He is not around here anymore."

Guy 3: "As expected from an Asian weirdo! If you want to live the rest of your life in one piece, you better do what we told you."

Calvin: "Don't call him a weirdo."

Guy 3: "What did you say!"

Calvin stood up and clapped the table.

Calvin: "Are you deaf! I said DON'T CALL HIM A WEIRDO!"

The crowd began to form. "He dared to offend them." "He will soon be dead meat!"

Guy 4: "Are you picking a fight with us!"

Calvin: "No one bad mouth him!"

Guy 5: "You know that no one will care if we kill you here, even the guards won't step in!"

Guy 3: "He didn't give me any face! I will make him suffer right now!"

As he came closer to Calvin, a guy from the crowd approached them and shouted.

?????: "You a lot! My fists are a bit itchy, how about fighting me instead."

Calvin: "Who are you?"

?????: "I'm Ilyes."

Guy 2: "Another dump person!"

Guy 3: "Let's take care of both of them, it will be an example for those who are here in the future."

Ilyes: "Hey, kid. Three for me, two for you."

Calvin: "(It's my battle! I want to teach them a lesson all by myself! And I want to test my abilities!)"

Calvin: "Actually, I--"

Ilyes: "Yes, I knew. Two are hard for you, just take one on and let the remaining ones for me."

Calvin:"(No, he didn't let me finish my talking.)"

Guy 3: "Don't get cocky! You three come with me and you, take care of that weakling!"

Ilyes: "Bring it on!"

Calvin: "(Oh, never mind. One is enough for me to test the fruits of my training.)"

Guy 1: "Prepare yourself, weakling."

He threw a parade of punches.

Calvin: "(These are just random punches, I will dodge them and wait until he gets tired to deliver a clean, single, ending blow.)"

After a few short moments, the guy began to wear out.

Guy 1: "Argh!"

Calvin: "Bingo"

Calvin concentrated all his strength in his right punch.

Calvin: "Take this!"

Suddenly, and before hitting him, a guy from that gang passed through them flying at high speed and hit the wall. The crowd was shocked.

Calvin: "What was that?!"

Calvin then looked at where the body came from, he saw Ilyes.

Ilyes:"Hell Yeah! That the power of ABS!!"
