[Ciel's POV]
"What a werid guy" Lucius said while closing his eyes.
Zerox looked at him judgementally and asked "What is weird about him?"
"I dont know how to explain it but every move he made while saving us was inhumanly perfect. Our plan to save Ciel wasn't to run. He would distract them while I took Ciel and ran away but he changed his plan saying that he sensed principal coming to our rescue."
I had never heard Lucius talk so much. He always carried himself with his inflated ego.
Zerox and granddfather looked at each other and sighed."I hate to do this to you but you must not tell this to anyone. They could attack you again to seek revenge."Zerox said to us.
"Then what about Ryujin?"Lucius sat down on the ground and asked them. He was probably tired after all of this.
"He knows what he has to do."Grandfather answered him. He didn't look much worried. He must trust Ryujin.
I then asked him" How did you find us?Why did Ryujin help us?"
Grandfather hesitated to answer the question.
He just said" Get in the car. We will get both of you to hospital for some checkups then we will take you to the dorms."
I wanted answers. My curosity just grew. Never have I ever wanted to know about someone this much.
"Will he forgive me if I apologize?"
Grandfather looked at me and said"what?"
"Nothing"
I hope he forgives me.

[Ryujin's POV]
I reached my room around 7 pm. I had a salmon and rice for dinner. Kuro and Tuck were playing and Chip was sleeping on my lap.
The thing that troubled
me most was the message the system showed me.
[Fate changed. 2% ]
Only 2% of work was done. I saved two of most influential people and only a small percent increased. I wonder what awaits me in the future.
I then took out the skinwalker ring that I had taken(stolen) from the villian.Then system showed me a message.
[Would you like to combine the ring with God's ring]
Well I didnt like wearing too many rings. "Okay combine them"
[Combining 1%...100%. Task successfully completed. New function added to the ring.
Skinwalker
-Use the skin of a person that is dead to disguise.
-Disguise only works for one hour.]
Quite a creepy function. I dont know if I will ever use it.God's ring could also be used as a spatial storage ring which is going to be really useful
I then got a message from Arthur.
(The places Zerox and I searched to were filled with villians. They had stolen many items and relics. We dont know why they were there. Even the Atropis is searching for it. Looks like your work load is just increasing)
Come on man when do I get a break. I just wanted to stay in peace. I just moved on from my own rambling and did my school assignments.

[Next Morning]
After I finfished my morning routine, I looked into my fridge and there was nothing. I forgot to buy groceries and last night I last the last fish I had left.
I could eat outside but it's 7 am right now and I don't think any restaurant will be open. I certainly won't be going to the school cafeteria.
As I was thinking Aqua knocked on my door. Aqua and Cary were my dorm neighbors.
Aqua had a laptop in his hand. He was fidgeting and asked me" Umm C-can you t-teach me how to s-solve this question?"He was stuttering. His sense of self returned after our game day.
"ok and do you have any groceries in your fridge?"
He nodded. I asked him to bring some stuff. I taught him the question while cooking breakfast for both of us.
At the same time Adam and Cary enteredmy room. Adam was shocked to see Aqua and Cary with me.
Adam poked my back and wishpered" Hey did you bribe this guys ?"
I then poked him back and said sarcastically "Its called social skill which you don't have."
Adam couldn't say anything. Everyone in our squad was here except Lucius. He is probably training himself to death.
Cary and Adam also had breakfast with me.After they had their breakfast they went back to train themself execpt Aqua. He just stayed in my dorm.
I was curious about him so I asked him" Hey Aqua you are the crown prince of the elf kingdom right?"
"Yes"
"Then why are you scared of someone bullying you. Have you been bullied in the past?" I was not the type of person to hide my thoughts. That does not mean I would say whatever comes to my mind but sometimes I was okay to be direct.
He was hesitating for sometime then he spoke"I haven't been bullied in the past. I just don't know what to do. I s-stutter when speaking. My only
"That isn't even the main problem. I can't use a bow and an elf that cannot use abow is considered weak."
I was glad he decided to open up his feelings.
"I see." is all I said to him.
He then looked at me with confuse expression and asked me" Wont you tell me to train?"
"No. It looks like you train. You are putting in the effort but something's missing."
"So what should I do?"
"Tomorrow let me watch you train for a while."
Aqua looked even more confused . He looked at me and said" Ryujin I have only known you for one day but you are really confident. You have a calm nature. Your life is like a rainbow. Always colorful and bright."
"hahahaha! Its funny how you say my life is like a rainbow. I wont deny it but you see your life can also be like a rainbow.
"How?"
"Remember two thing in your life Aqua. Only without effort you won't achieve anything. You need focus to complete it and sometimes your whole effort becomes meaningless but you will learn something from it.You will want to give up but thats ok. Losing your whole effort is okay but losing yourself for your goal is not okay"
"And the last thing there can't be a rainbow without a little bit of rain."
