Chapter 5 - Leo's Origin

"My family.....Oberlin....we were a well off family. The people in our town they....were scared of my family, because my family saw everyone below them as peasants. They would scream at others for no apparent reason and so everyone was scared of us...So I decided to break that stupid notion. I became friends with my townsfolk and they appreciated me a lot. I would teach the kids...and cater for the elderly... I wanted those people to be happy....and everything was going well...Until one day...There was a school shooting....A few men had broken into my school and set it ablaze. They held the wealthy kids hostage, that is~ including me...They shot every one else who were deemed irrelevant and then they asked for ransom for the kids from wealthy families....The police were unable to do anything...because it was far to late...So many had died...and--" "Leo....you don't have to continue if you don't-" " It's fine, Asahi....Don't worry about me....As I watched them shoot more and more people...something snapped...I felt this urge of power and then suddenly....the moment I blinked...there was blood all over me...Torn pieces of flesh everywhere and the organs of the shooters were spilled before me... 'What...just happened' I was thinking.....That was the moment I awakened my god ability... When I turned to look at the others...all their expressions were of FEAR....I SWEAR I DIDN'T DO IT ON PURPOSE, AND YET.....and yet..--" "No one would listen, huh?" Leo was already in tears and he screamed out loud in pain,"THEY ONLY SAW A MONSTER IN ME! SUDDENLY EVERYONE WHO ADMIRED ME SAW ME AS A DEMON! THEY WOULD STONE ME AND INSULT ME AND SPIT RIGHT IN MY FACE.....THEY WOULDN'T UNDERSTAND THAT...They wouldn't understand that....~ I was human too~....." Asahi hugged him him and Leo held onto him. "I promise you...Leo...that I will change this world....All of the Awakened....Will never be treated like that...EVER...AGAIN!!"
