At the Elder gathering, they began to discuss after the completion of Remuel and Loris' official duel. They discussed with the teachers from the best shooting academy school in Famu.Ramos, the oldest Elder, was the wisest of the other Elders. He remained silent, listening to the other elders and academy officials discuss."Sir Ramos, you're not taking part?" asked one of Remuel's professors.Ramos nodded and greeted the professor politely. "How is your student doing, teacher?" asked Ramos politely. He chose to change the subject. After all, he was worried about the effects of the sting duel. Ramos had already seen the results of Remuel's attack on Loris. He was quite worried about the girl after the end of the duel."Everything went well. The girl is getting treatment. I heard that Loris' shooter Federico also suffered an injury that left him unconscious." Reply Morne City College, shooting teacher.Ramos simply nodded, "Even though that young shooter Federic hasn't regained consci
Leon passed by the Elder meeting room that had been in frequent use these days."What now?" the youngest Elder named Reie, started babbling.She seemed to sound unhappy about being invited to the meeting room. Reie was indeed the youngest Elder due to inheriting the position of her grandfather, who passed away when she was 25 years old."Sit down, Elder Reie, we invite you to discuss and sign the legalization of Remuel and Loris' marriage annulment," Ramos explained tactfully. He stood with his hands behind his back.Ramos spoke quietly and then sat down in the chair designated for him. Every Elder's chair had a brand name written on the teak wood.Reid snorted before finally sitting, "What a day we had just to take care of Loris Federico.""Don't forget the attestation of the documents provided by the fame shooting academy, Elder Reie. We just need to sign and approve it before it is sent to Federico." The other Elder explained flatly.He also sounded fed up. It was just that Reie's
Arturo ended up grinning as he watched Remuel's back grow further away from him."You came here to drop off files, Loris?" the professor asked. He was Remuel's immediate professor."Yes, and I have something to ask you directly, sir. " Loris replied a little clumsily.The sound of conversation began to be heard from behind the door. Arturo heard clearly. She, who felt terrible for eavesdropping, chose to walk away from the room entered by Loris.She chose to walk away from there and find something else to do while waiting for Loris to finish talking to the professor of Monroe Academy."What is it?" the professor asked coldly.Even so, she did not shut herself up enough to be curious about Loris' question. She frowned at Loris, who chose to sit on the sofa."I heard the news of Remuel being expelled. Is that true?" he asked in a stammering voice. The professor sighed. He then nodded and agreed with Loris."But why?" Loris quickly asked another question. "It was never in our agreement.
That afternoon, Arturo came late to the place where they practised together. They had promised to train together after school.It was a quiet afternoon at the shooting range for Federico's family. But from outside, Arturo could hear the continuous sound of bullets from inside the range.Arturo, who had just entered, accidentally kicked an old bottle with many holes on the floor, "Brother Loris, did you come early today? Have you been doing it since morning?" asked Arturo loudly.Loris put on his earplugs, but Arturo's shout still penetrated his ears.He lowered his hands, stopped his training, turned to Arturo, "Not really," he replied flatly.Loris had come early because, after three days, he was having trouble shooting evenly with his magic bullets.On the fourth day, he had practised early and skipped class to have a light duel with Arturo to at least keep him balanced.Arturo, who heard that, raised her eyebrows, "Really?" She asked incredulously.The young woman was astonished. Sh
In the poorly lit room, Loris lay down. He placed one hand on his forehead.Loris repeatedly sighed by closing his eyes. He rested his body, which was in more pain than before.The images of the explosive battle with Remuel and Arturo came together, making his memories blurry and chaotic."Uncontrollable emotions?" the words of several people flashed quickly in Loris' head.The combined words of Arturo, Remuel, his teachers, the elders, and even his father came together and flew into Loris' head noisily.His breathing became fast and furious. He had no history of asthma, but his muddled mind, restless thoughts, and tired body made the effect of his irregular breathing.A soft tapping sound coming from outside his room made his lose herself in the random images and fall into a deep sleep.The knocking sound grew louder until it shook Loris out of her sleep. He woke up in a very dark room."Huh!? Where is this?" he muttered to himself.Loris tried to feel around as he lay down. He reali
A small creature that only had eyes, a mouth, and small feet greeted Loris. Loris, who saw it, swallowed while freezing."Are you real? Is this just a fantasy?" thought Loris, who then swallowed again after a few times.Loris widened his eyes by staring at the creature, but all the creature did was blink while concluding a smile that was pointed at every corner of the lips."Hi Loris, nice to see you again," it said casually."Huh?! You know my name?" Loris muttered with a half-pale face.These few days, he believed he was so exhausted that everything he saw seemed unreal.Loris immediately shook his head when she realized that he was sure the one in front of his was also the same as what he saw in the dream. Not real."Hah! Seriously, I must be going crazy because this hand injury is mentally draining me," Loris spoke to himself while chuckling.He turned her face away, sighed, and then looked back at the small creature standing in front of his feet. The creature then jumped onto Lo
18 lorisLoris and the Eye creature looked at each other for a few seconds.But it was Loris who turned his face away first. He frowned as he picked up the sharp weapon he had dropped."Still talking nonsense," said Loris dryly.He ignored the eye creature's remarks and chose to remain silent throughout his steps. Loris picked up her bag and walked to the exit.Meanwhile, the eye creature, who was not happy to be ignored, made a babbling sound until he called Loris' name loudly.Loris, who was annoyed, finally used her other hand to cover the mouth of the creature in her hand."Hey, what the?" The creature's voice stopped because it was held by Loris' hand.Loris pressed their mouth to silence, "So noisy," Loris chided irritably."Mmmmmp!" The creature continued to moan behind Loris' palm without stopping.Although it was not happy with Loris' treatment, it could not struggle. It could not take out both hands because it was too weak in mana.The creature got annoyed and made a buzzing
19Loris found Arturo's face looking confused when in front of him. Loris recalled his poor attitude towards the people around him over the past few years. He then patted Arturo's shoulder gently.Loris smiled at Arturo, "Arturo, thanks for worrying about me, but I'm fine." he said kindly.He added, "I also apologise to you for my annoying attitude all this time. Will you forgive me?" he asked gently.Loris realised that hi, attitude was also not good towards Arturo lately. She realised that she was often rude and annoying."Huh? What's wrong? Are you saying goodbye?!" asked Arturo with a snarl. She even widened hee eyes in surprise at Loris' sudden attitude.Loris chuckled. He then turned his face away. Hearing Arturo's passionate attitude made him laugh amusedly."I have no intention of going anywhere. I just need your help, brother Arturo," Loris said with a sweet smile.Arturo returned Loris' smile. She was quite happy and relieved by Loris' warmer attitude than his usual cold one
