"What about tonight? Come to my house, my parents aren't home." "Sounds great, Chris. Should I bring the girls?" "Excatly yes, you should. That's gonna be fun." Thud!Einer froze a second after someone bumped him. He looked at a little cake he brought before picking it up.Meanwhile a guy who just bumped on him, stopped and just looking. "Did I just hit someone?" Chris, a handsome and wealth student, who also one of popular bullies. He didn't feel sorry after made Einer's cake a little mess. He looked enjoying what he did. "The cake is alright, isn't it?" Chris knelt down before Einer who was still quiet. Einer held himself even though a little bit pissed off, because that cake was something he got after a very hard work."Even though it hit the floor, but I think it's still good to eat," said Anton, Chris' friend."You're right. The cleaners do they work so well to clean the floors, so this isn't a big deal," Sam agreed."Is that so? Should we prove it?" Chris swept his palm to

Einer didn't think he could still open his eyes after that torture night, but here he was. He looked around, guessing where he was and realized about that large and luxurious room he was in.Einer was shocked, quickly sitting down only to feel pain in his head."Ouch ... my head," he said, holding his bandaged head. "I remember, Chris and his friends hit me on the head with wine bottle. Am I badly injured?" Einer was still very confused, said nothing for a while. "I must have been seriously injured and I should have even died, but did such a strange thing actually happen? I hit Chris' head with a wine glass and hurt his eye, but how come there was a glass in my hand? I was lying on the floor." Einer thought about what he had done."Was the miracle? Was grim reaper really granted my last wish before I die? But I'm not dead yet!""Stop thinking like a silly." Einer a little bit shocked when someone talked to him; making him turned his head to the sound and saw a woman sat on the cou

Einer could see the bad things that would happen to him just by looking at Chris's fist. Every step made him shiver, his body remembering what had happened every time he and Chris interacted. But a second later Einer realized if he no longer had a reason to be afraid, he shouldn't hang his head like a loser. Remember what Oliver said; Einer should be proud, he was a Perceus. "You're done, you damn loser!" With his fear gone, Einer could easily dodge Chris' punch. He stepped aside and made Chris seemed like a joke. Everyone was watching them and Chris, who was holding back his embarrassment, looked at Einer sharply. "What are you doing, loser...?" "Avoiding you. Did you think I'd stay still when you threw your hands at me?" Einer replied, didn't look afraid. But that calm answer made Chris' eyes bulge with anger. "What did you say? How dare you say that?" Chris tried to hit Einer again, but this time Einer was able to hold him back. "It turns out that we're just as strong, but

Oliver led Einer to a place; a part of the Perceus mansion that made Einer marvel at its splendor. "Wow... I didn't think a place like this existed in this mansion," Einer said, following Oliver behind him. Oliver smiled as he guided. "This is the training ground for the awakener in this house. They usually train in that building." Oliver pointed to a large stadium with an elegant futuristic design. "To withstand the great power of the awakener, that building was made with advanced technology and a super strong design. So, don't hold back during training, okay?" Einer smiled faintly, a little shy when Oliver indirectly talked about his strength that Oliver always mentioned as the strongest candidate. Through the glass-walled hallway that allowed Einer to see the vastness of the place where the Perceus awakener were, Einer saw the place he was going to with Oliver. "What is this place?" asked Einer, when the metal door opened after Oliver opened it using his palm scanner. "This is

Einer was quite surprised to see Arthur at the party. He sat up straight and Arthur stood in front of him. "You didn't forget my name, did you?" "Arthur... Grey. Right?" "I'm glad you didn't forget it. May I sit here?" Einer was a little awkward, letting Arthur sit beside him as if they were friends. Honestly seeing Arthur smile at him only made Einer feel uncomfortable, considering they were not friends. "I didn't expect you to be friends with Chelsea Wood," Arthur said, speaking without taking his face away from the party. Einer replied, "I dropped someone off without expecting to be pulled into the party as well." "Oh, is that so... well, it's obvious from your clothes." Arthur looked at Einer, with a faint smile and he said, "Guests who come by invitation will not wear out-of-theme clothes while the theme of the clothes is clearly written in the invitation." Einer held himself back, trying to remain calm as Arthur mocked him so subtly. That soft voice, that sweet smile only
