Ifugao National Academy...
Not a usual school that teaches someone how to solve numbers and put the words into sentence but a place for young ones to learn about the big changes that happened to planer Earth.
As soon as the young man with one arm entered the school premises, you can see different reactions on the faces when the other students see him. I'm sure that when they see the cuts inside those clothes, those fellow men would become more bitter.
Bitter because of jealousy and envy, the one armed man didn't care at all and head to the classroom.
It's still early so the man went to take a nap as usual. Used his only one arm as a pillow and went to sleep.
Minutes later, he was awaken by a touch on his cheek.
*Sorry to wake you up. I just want to wipe something on your face.
Seeing that it was his seatmate and one among his few friends, sat straight to greet her.
*Fool, did I say you have something on your face.
Like a caring girlfriend in the eyes of everyone, went to wipe the drool on the man face with her personal handkerchief.
*Well, it's done. There's still time so go back to your sleep and I will wake you up when our instructor comes.
Already got used to the closeness shown by this girl for him not to be affected anymore. Went to wipe the drool on his stable saying;
*I had enough so better prepare myself for the lesson today. Some informations are even classified as confidential so you should also listen carefully.
*Hehe. When didn't I slack off in front of our intructors? Don't forget that i'm the smartesr one in our class. Anyways, I got the patent on the mechanical arm that I invented just for you. After some modifications to become more durable and powerful, I will give it to you as your birthday present. You're not the only one whose birthday is coming so better prepare my gift too. There's no need to be expensive. Any gift from you is enough.
*Well, your gift is so precious so I will also prepare a best one. You know how poor i'm so you need to wait.
*Then i'm willing to wait so just take your time.
The conversation was not loud but could be heard by everyone in the classroom.
"Why,,,, he's just a poor boy? And even a cripple one so what did a beautiful and smart girl sees in him?"
"Damn it! That should be me but how can an poor cripple student be the one?"
"Falk! I can't believe that a cripple poor basturd is better than me to get the best girl in the class,,, among the top ten Goddesses in the Academy."
All kinds of thoughts couldn't be said out loud and the negative ones are all from those jealous and envious boys.
Two people knew about this but did not care; especially the man with one arm who sees the girl in front of him as a sister. As long as they will not cross the line, it's still okay to ignore a harmless thought. But one day if someone try to hurt this girl whom he already treat as a family, nothing can stop him to give justice or even the worst revenge; like what he promised to himself to avenge his family and everyone who died almost ten years ago. Even if it will take a thousand years, as long as he doesn't die, his revenge will be avenged.
*Hey you,,, why are you looking at me in silence? Is it that you finally realized how beautiful I am and fell for it?
"Flick"
She ask for it and got flicked on the forehead together with words saying;
*Yes your beautiful, my little beautiful sister; so stop talking nonsense.
*Huh! Who's your little sister? You're just a few days older than me so don't pretend to be a big brother. Speaking of age, you're turning twenty two and about to acquire your skill. If you don't want me to, find someone that will accompany you embarking the life of an Evolve humans. I'll be busy in a lab after graduation and it would be rare for me to be with you anymore. At least for me, I have other friends but how about you? The life ahead for an Evolved human has no certainty and full of danger. I want to be the one that always watch your back but our path were destined to be different. So who will watch your back then? Back then, you said it's better to be alone but I don't know what's the reason for you to accept me . I hope that with the same reason, you can accept others to be your friends and help each other in desperate times.
A lady who rarely talk serious, this one armed man who's always serious was more serious to say;
*I don't know how I escaped from an inevitable death but I just ran and ran until was saved by a group of Evolved humans. Yes, I survived and was brought to this city but a boy who just turned twelve with a missing arm, he definitely need someone to rely on. That's my most desperate times and really need any help that I can get yet no one had the kind heart to accept me. Only a spoiled girl with a pure heart was too stubborn to go against her family just to take me in. Even if I was driven away as soon as I turned sixteen; still thanks to them for keeping me for four years. It's not that I don't want to accept people but they're the ones who couldn't accept a poor-cripple like me. It wasn't me who accepted you but it was you who accepted me. I may have a few friends but a true friend like you is worth a thousand; even a million...
