In this world if you aren't strong then no one will acknowledge your existence and you will be just like invisible air to them.
And If you try to prove your worth with just hard work then you are in a wrong place .
This world is cursed and everyone had to deal with it.
(A/N: Above statement's true meaning; you will get that in future, I am sure of it.)
People don't care about your feelings, if you care about others then that's your problem to solve.
This world is filled with jealousy, hatred , anger and many other negetive emotions.
Everyone around here wears a mask , a facade to hide their true nature .
They don't want to show their ugly side to others which is why you must be careful around them.
And in this world of facade , to find a pure soul is extremely difficult.
One of those pure soul was in front of Louis spreading her cheerfulness.
Looking at her proud smile , Louis wondered.
'What is this girl talking about?
Could it be ?!!!
No...no..
It can't be ...'
With her proud and genuine smile she looked rather cute but that's not the issue here.
With such thoughts and wariness in his eyes he opened his mouth.
" Flora , should I call the doctor?!!
Do you have a fever ?
Why didn't you tell me sooner , you clearly know that you could come to me for such emergencies. So why didn't you tell me ?!"
He bombered her with questions and that also described the care he had for her .
She was the only friend he had in this cruel world who would mock the weak and praise the strong.
She had always stood for him, helped him with his problems, cared for him and also sometimes worried for him.
All of this made them close friends not to that extent but still .
She was like a family to him.
So he would surely help her whenever she would need help.
And that was the cause of his reaction.
"Woh..woh stop with your rain of thoughts.First; I am completely fine so stop with that doctor thing ,okay! "
She calmed him with her words and Louis only nodded in reply.
Their gazes again met .
'.....?'
Louis was slightly was confused by her continuous change in emotions.
He could always tell her emotions through seeing her eyes.
But this time her eyes looked determined on something and following it she said in serious tone which wasn't even a bit heavy.
" And Second, I am here to cure your illness of mana core."
"....."
"Now you are feeling happy, right?
So come on praise this beautiful girl for giving you such happiness "
She puffed her chest trying to boast about it .
Louis didn't say anything and then he just placed his left in front of him , in which he was wearing a smartwatch through which he could call the orphanage's caretakers.
He tapped on the watch few times and then_
" Hello! This is room 16 and I am Louis .
I want to call a psychiatrist here because my friend seems to be mentally un-----beep.
But before he could say any further Flora pressed a side button on the watch and then call immediately ended .
Then she angrily glared at him completely dissatisfied by his action.
"You!!!! You think I am mental!!"
Louis stared at her and grinned playfully and continued to tease her further.
"Probably "
Hearing it her limit breaked and she landed a furious punch at his stomach making scream in pain.
He broke on his knees due to her punch.
Although she was a girl so her physical power was low than his but since she had already formed her mana core and was able to able to gather little amount of mana inside it therefore she could easily compensate the physical difference by using her mana on her body , although it was just a little amount of mana but it was enough for a 9 year old boy.
"Urghhh I was just kidding, I swear. So please spare me this time otherwise this poor body mine would not be able to eat anything for few days."
It didn't injured him because she didn't want to.
Then he confessed his prank in pain and tried to apologise to her.
After hearing his cry Flora's anger calmed down and she extended her hand to help him stand up , he grabbed her soft hand and stood up while rubbing his stomach with his other hand.
After few seconds, he raised his head and with puppy face ;looked at her .
" I am sorry for before and I won't do it again in the future ,I promise."
He apologized but there wasn't a single hint apology in his eyes.
Instead his eyes came across to be telling he would surely do it again if there will be in any chance.
'Hehe , her reaction was worth the act'
Teasing this little lady was fun for him.
Flora sighed a little at his antics , first he angered her and now he was trying to be innocent.
She had seen it many time before so it didn't have any effect.
Flora understood his fake apology and also his antics but she didn't want to continue it any further.
She was there for a reason and she must convey it to him.
She didn't have any time for this childish banter.
Although she did that earlier, nevermind.
"Okay ..okayy I forgive you but don't do it again otherwise what would I do , even I don't know!!"
Louis gulped at this .
His personality was also like cheerful and full of life like any children but from outside.
She was her only friend so he could only joke around her .
And without her he would feel more loneliness.
He just didn't want her to enter his room without any reason due to certain reasons but other than that he could always accompany her .
Their childish exchange made him felt happiness.
And she also felt the same .
But today she was not in a mood .
Her mood swung from one to other .
She was feeling many emotions containing happiness, proudness ,
Satisfaction and many more.
For a child that was more than enough to handle.
Then she took her time while Louis waited.
Her demeanor changed a tiny bit.
" Louis , what do you think about that."
Louis nodded and sat on the bed with his head gazing at the ceiling .
Swiftly his facial manner changed and then he weared a neutral expression and parted his lips.
" Solution for the man core, huh!"
Flora also took a sit on the chair and waited for him to continue.
" I don't know about that because from what I have read on books there isn't any solution for people who don't have mana cores so I don't have any hope."
