"Sir, is it alright to let him go?" A man who has a short gun tied to his waist and a hat which made him look somewhat like a cowboy asked, as he entered the tent like room after Evan left.
"It's fine, I have confirmed that he is no threat," Oliver said as he looked back at his document, and a letter from his wife and son, informing that his son has awakened.
"His bond is only at F rank at best and that might as well be the limit, that's the only reason why I felt him peeking, he is just that weak, maybe even weaker than a newbie perhaps."
"I see, well, if that what you think then..."
...
"I already hate him," I said as I throw myself on the bed after an exhausting day.
After meeting with that guy named Oliver, I spend my time looking around the place while collecting information and I did get to know a lot, like the currency of this world and even the upcoming festival.
The currency used in this world are gold, silver, and bronze coin, where a 100 bronze coin is equal to 1 silver and 100 silver equal to 1 gold.
There might be even more costly coin or things above gold coin but I have no idea about them as of now.
A single bronze coin can buy you a meal, meanwhile a silver coin can get you three times a meal for a month and gold coin... Let's just say it's equal to a meal for 100 months through I don't think it's gonna be used for things like meal.
"I am broke..." I said as I looked at three bronze coins in my hand, these 3 are the coins which I pickpocket from people here.
But ssince there are around two to three people hundred, I don't think I'll be pointed or caught for doing this small theft which is enough for a day worth of food.
'Well, the only good thing about my childhood might be that they make sure to drill every skill necessary for survival in different conditions and circumstances in me...'
Thinking so, I closed my eyes and then sighed, remembering Oliver last words to me.
"How do you know that I was looking before?"
"Oh, that's simply because you are too weak kid, but hey, not everyone can see the dangers in distance... Atleast you are good at something."
'Was that sarcasm?' I thought as felt some unknown emotions inside me, a weird feeling, something I have always done my best to not think about, it was self hatred.
'Its not time to think something like that,' I said to myself as I calmed my mind completely and started focusing on making some plans from here on out.
'The festival...' It might be my chance to earn enough to support myself or atleast get by for some time till I figure something out.
The festival, which will be held in 2 days, is a special festival mainly to fishermans because a fish unique to this place called 'Golden Arrows' goes through what could be called their mating season during this time of the year.
They gather in numbers exceeding thousands at this island and passes through this river and travel to an unknown pond present somewhere is this island.
No one knows where that pond is but it is said that when they gather, the Soul Flower blooms at that place which according to people here is the most valuable treasure bloomed when the mother earth is happy.
As for what it do? I have no idea but it's not like I won't try to get it if it does exist in real and they even say that tommorow, more people will come in the hopes of getting that treasure.
Even though no one knows if these rumours are true or not, it will not stop people from gathering and try to get this flower and even though no body found it, it's still a big buffet for fishermans to catch fishes enough to make gold.

I know I said as I take a deep breath, 'Its time to find myself...' I said to myself and closed my mind.
I have to sink deeper within myself, I have to clear my mind of everything else, there should be nothing which belongs to me in my own mind... And then can someone thoughts else can enter my mind from thies.
With a thought, I removed every of my emotions and then waited, it was a calm and peaceful state, where I felt absolutely nothing about everything and then...
"Hurry up or we might be late for academy." Someone said this, I can't see anything, I want something more cleaner something which can help me pin point the location more clearly.
Ah, I see something... It was memory, it is a board, it was an entrance to... "Warrior Academia of Holy Rose Empire" I muttered and as soon as finished saying that, I felt the connection I had made being cut.

"What is it, Elisa?" A girl asked her friend who just suddenly stopped midway while walking.
"I.. don't know? I just felt, sad for a second, I wonder why?" She said looking at the sunset with her long blue hairs being fluttered with silent winds... as unknowingly a drop of tear fell from her eye.
"I wonder... What I was thinking just now..." she muttered lightly, looking in the distance with her mind in disarray...

"We will arrive on Golden Island in about an hour sir, any orders?" The captain of the ship said as he looked towards the boy seated on the deck of the ship, basking in luxury of the ship his family own.
It was clear from the food, drinks and even his clothing he was having that he was someone from a noble blood and was proud of this fact as well.
"Hmm, so soon?" The boy said as he was starting to enjoy the sea travels but the with a wave of his hands dismissed the ship captain and then took out a map from his golden robe spreading it open as a smile appeared on his face.
"Oh dear brother, do you seriously thought that I was going to give up just because I don't a Soul Core, you really don't know how wrong you are, just you wait..."
