[Holech's POV]
"You gotta be kidding me!" I shouted and I was stunned, this was bullshit!
I looked at Hubert, the one chosen by everyone, he couldn't maintain eye contact with me as he said these words..
"I'm sorry Holech, but...your ability...no offense but.. it's useless..." He said looking back at the party before walking away from me, oh no you Don't! Grabbing his shoulders I forcefully yanked him.
"Tell me! Hubert! Come on!" I raised my hand forming a fist to punch him, he only looked at me in the eye, with pity...
Don't give me that look, damn you!
"AGGHH!" I couldn't contain my emotions, this whole summoning is bullshit! I hate this!
Instead of dodging the punch he took it full on, resulting to the party to tore me off of him.
Anger, denial, a inferiority, the things I felt during that encounter, the moment I calmed down, I silently stared at Hubert and his party before returning back at the inn.
The feeling of uselessness, it was taking over my body, bitterness is something that has been with me ever since childhood...
I hate it...
======
A day after the incident, I emerged from my room, my eyes tired and droopy, I haven't slept after what happened, I want to be able to be with the heroes, not just a nobody...
Over and over, I wanted to deny that I was useless, I tried proving it but it was useless, everyone just keeps on flaunting to Hubert and his 'abilities' tch...
It makes me sick...
How...how can I solve this...
Aimlessly wandering the port of Kandevil of Akasnash, I heard rumors..
Rumors about a ship... It was a ship that will dock, it was a ship..
A ship...
I inwardly smiled, maybe this was the chance, my chance..
I'll make them regret that they kicked me out! Yeah! That's right!
It's time to go on my own journey! One that will reach everything..
Just wait...Hubert...
Hurriedly making my way back to the inn and took my stuff, three hours from now, a ship will dock and that will be my start!
HAHAHA!
My heart was pounding, a bit more than usual, maybe because of my decision or the thrill, but I have a goal now, to prove them wrong, nothing less nothing more.
======
"300 līanhuā take it or leave it" said the captain of the ship.
That's a ridiculous price! Can it be lowered come on!
"Can I haggle?" I tried to haggle but he only shook his head.
Alright....so I can't haggle? Maybe I could use my ability-
No... that's too low...I'm no gonna use it... Maybe I could lower it a bit...
"250?" I said uncertain if he'll accept, he only scoffed before denying the offer.
"300" he sternly said, come on!
This is actually pissing me off! Stay calm...stay calm...
I can't even use my ability to haggle my way to a lower price, damn... I sighed and I looked at my bag before giving 300 līahuā albeit hesitantly, the captain took it quickly and counted before he smiled.
He enters his ship before saying where I should gather my things, the second floor third deck that's what he said.
But hey...at least I managed to get on the ship, usually during the times of war even renting a ship is quite difficult, due to the war and all.
"Hey cap-" I was cut off as I was about to say something.
"Iskyrós, call me Iskyrós" he said, I nodded my head before going inside the second floor third deck.
To clarify the voyage he said it'll take about three months to reach another land, I'm okay with that, because in those three months I'll be able to make my own history.
Just wait...Hubert...everyone, I'll let you guys rethink your choices...
=======
The captain didn't say anything about a decimate...but what is this!
"Hello!" Said the woman right in front of me, I was greeted by her the moment I entered the deck, ah damn it Iskyrós!
"Hi,haha..." I greeted her back before she shook my hands with enthusiasm, wow..
Very energetic I see...
Well I think, it suits her? I mean...besides her height from the looks of it, she's an elf, a high elf at that, her long blonde hair reaching her back, what looks like a mage's robe as her main clothing, fair skin...
I still can't believe how elves can be older than 500...wait...how old is she exactly?
"Hey..um...how old are you?" I sheepishly said as I rubbed the back of my neck with an awkward smile, I saw her face lit up for a moment before answering.
"I'm 400 years old! My name's Diana, what about you?" She said as she introduced herself, I said my name before this whole thing got settled, I set up my things to my side, and she set up here to her side.
Suddenly a loud voice boomed across the ship, it was Iskyrós informing everyone including us that the ship is leaving port, I quickly went up to see the crew wave at the passersby while the other crew members prepared the sails of the ship.
Looking at the blue ocean In front of me, I lightly smiled, in another world, the ocean was like this, this was that other world.
To be honest, it's better than my world in many ways, seagulls were departing from the sails as it was opened, with that...
The voyage began, a voyage to another continent to be precise..
But it is also the start of my journey...looking at my lute with a smile, I sighed as the wind blew past my face gently.
I'll surpass the expectations of my classmates, just wait, everyone... I'll catch up to all of you... I'll prove all of you wrong....
I stared at the ocean as the ship moved smoothly across the ocean, with that someone stood just beside me...
It was Diana, a smile on her face as she watched the waves of the ocean move, she caught me staring at her waving a hand gently before she smiled, I waved back before going back to the second deck, it was time to prepare for the next day...
My own journey to be recognized huh... it'll begin starting from now on.
