After returning from training Cain was exhausted he has had a lot on his mind lately and the main characters bugging him the whole day had only been annoying him
He ate took a shower and laid down in bed allowing himself to think over all the things that had been bothering him
'I need to figure out a way to get the main characters to leave me alone, I need to become a true extra who has nothing to do with the main characters and the plot, so the plot can advance normally'
'I mean who knows how many butterfly effects I have caused already, I literally got a notification saying I have majorly changed the fate of this world'
'Yet although I need the main characters to leave me alone there are still many things I need from them such as that private training room, how else am I supposed to train my sword arts I don't want to reveal it just yet if people found out about my sword art who knows how many dangerous situations I would get in'
'I wanted to just rent out a private training room from the gym yet I do not have the money to afford that, I mean yeah I could just train harder until I get into the top 10 of this year but who knows how long that would take'
There are many things I still need from the main characters yet how do I get what I need without associating with them? ' As Cain thought over this whole situation he still couldn't find a solution
' Huh.. I'm being kind of selfish I want to stay away from the main characters yet I still want to use them for their benefits.When did I become the type of person to use others, I mean I am literally planning on using Leah yet she sees me as her saviour'
And with that thought Cain drifted off to sleep
***
Waking up Cain ate, washed, got changed and went to the academy
Sitting in class Cain was annoyed just like yesterday the main characters kept on staring at him throughout the whole day
As the bell rang signaling the end of the school day Leo and the others came up to him
"Can we talk" Leo asked as he looked at Cain
"Sure, but let's go talk somewhere more private" Cain said
"OK let's go to my house we can talk freely over there" Leo said as they started walking towards his house
Arriving at his house Cain insisted that they go talk in the training room not understanding why Cain requested it they all went to the training room
"Now talk" Cain said as he looked at them he could see Amy getting angry from the sidelines
'I need them to avoid me if that means getting them to hate me so be it'
'Well Amy is the punch first ask questions later type of person, I probably shouldn't piss her off any more than I have' Cain thought as he looked at them all
"Why are you ignoring us?, If we did something wrong can't you just tell us so we can work through it, we are friends so I don't get why you are ignoring us" Leo said as talked about all the things that had been bothering him
"We are not friends" Cain said in a tone that sounded emotionless
"What did we do? You were fine before you disappeared what happened?" Leo asked in a genuine voice he sounded concerned for his friend
"You have done nothing wrong" Cain said as he continued speaking in a emotionless tone
"Then wh-" Leo was about to talk before he was cut off
"Tell me this did you ever truly consider me a friend" Cain said as he looked at Leo
This was a genuine question he had wondered if Leo had considered him a real friend or if he just wanted to clear a quest this was one of the reasons Cain could never fully trust Leo
"Of cou-" Leo was about to talk before being cut off again
"If so when you approached me to become friends, did you do it because you genuinely wanted to be friends with me or was there something you wanted to gain from being friends with me" Cain said as he continued talking
"That's crazy what would Leo gain from becoming your friend he approached you with pure feelings and this is how you are repaying his kindness!" Amy yelled
It was easy to tell that Amy was holding herself back from attacking Cain
"Then let Leo answer me" As Cain said this all eyes fell on Leo
Not knowing how to answer Leo put his head down in shame it is true that the reason Leo approached Cain was so that he could complete the quest and get the skill even now he was only trying to reconcile with Cain so he could get the skill from the quest being finished
As Leo had his head down in shame Sarah spoke
"And me what did I do to you? You have also been ignoring me, I don't want to lose you, you are my first friend" Sarah said as tears could be seen rolling down her face
"Oh you, it's fine you haven't done 'anything' wrong PRINCESS"
Shock... Deadly shock the whole room had gone silent as they were wondering how Cain knew who Sarah was
"I mean it's not like you lied to me" Cain said in a sarcastic tone
"Our whole friendship has been built upon lies hell I didn't even know your real surname" Cain said as he looked at Sarah
'I say our whole friendship has been built on lies yet I have been lying the most well me and Kayla at least'
"Hhh-hhow do you know who I am" Sarah said as more tears rolled down her face causing her to stutter
"You know I almost died yesterday, It was an elf telling me to 'stay away from the princess' " Cain said as he looked at Sarah
"I didn't know, the reason I didn't tell you who I was, was because I didn't want you to get harmed"
'Is he going to leave me too why does everyone leave me I only wanted a friend' Sarah thought as she looked at Cain
'Maybe it is better if our friendship ends, that way my crazy family won't harm him'
As these thoughts ran through her head Sarah realized it would be better for Cain if they friendship ended this way at least then her family wouldn't hurt him
"Huuh... You know you are really starting to work on my nerves why are you acting like a Saint, you keep complaining that Leo and Sarah were keeping secrets from you, yet it is obvious you have been keeping secrets from us too yet we don't judge you! "
Amy shouted in anger whatever had been stopping her from attacking him previously was no longer there as she dashed at him in anger she was ready to beat the shit out of him yet as she was about to make contact with him he was suddenly behind her
Shock... As if they had not been shocked enough finding out that he knew who Sarah truly was when Amy had went to attack Cain it looked like he had moved out of the way and was behind her
'He's fast, I didn't even see him move' Amy thought as she looked at Cain by this time Ray was next to Amy stopping her from continuing the fight
The truth is Cain isn't fast when he saw she was going to attack him he just used [Blink] to get behind her , since he teleported a short distance they probably thought he had just moved fast
"See you have even been hiding your strength how else would someone from the 2000 ranks evade a punch from the 4th ranked student" Amy shouted as she looked at Cain
" Anyways I didn't come here to fight, I came here to make a deal with you Leo" Cain said as he faced Leo
"What is the deal?" Leo asked as he looked at Cain by now he had given up on trying to become friends with Cain
"let's have a duel, if you manage to defeat me I will forget everything that has happened and I will truly become your friend but if I manage to make you bleed even a little you have to allow me to use this private training room whenever I please"
"OK fine" Leo agreed
