Federik patted Loris on the shoulder, "Alright, thanks for your help today. You go home first. I'll catch up after this work is done," Federik pointed at the documents still piled on his desk.Federik smiled and turned around after Loris gave a small nod. As Loris stepped away, Federik called out to him again. The room was still dimly lit. "Loris," he called softly.Loris turned his head. Seeing his father smiling, he then looked away, "Ah no, I was just wondering how your new school was?" Federik asked with a hint of doubt in his head.He looked down, feeling guilty for only asking about his son's situation now after a few weeks of Loris living his normal life.Loris was silent for a moment, he looked down, confused by his father's unusual behavior. But Loris chose not to worry his father.Loris smiled, "Everything went well, I adapted quickly. Because this is what I expected after all."Loris said confidently. Not for long, their awkwardness was stopped by Federik.Loris' father i
27 LorisLoris breathed heavily. In front of the mirror, the young man looked at his wet face after washing. "Huuf," for the last time, Loris exhaled after his gasping breath.After a long practice, Loris drowned his head in the water for a few seconds. His exhaustion merged with happiness. "You look tired, very tired, my brother," The Eye admonished Loris.They were in a public restroom where Loris was practicing shooting. Loris, surprised by The Eye's sudden appearance, immediately looked back and forth.His anxious expression was drawn. The Eye chuckled, "I told you I always make sure no one is around when I show up," said The Eye.Loris snorted in annoyance. He then took a small towel to dry her face. "Why did you show up all of a sudden?""Stop training. Your body needs rest," offered The Eye.Loris was silent. After finishing drying his face, he cleaned up and packed up."You're right. Where do you think?" Loris asked himself silently.Loris smiled as he stood in front of the
Two days ago.When Ian and Lan were guests at Leon's house, they talked about Loris. But gradually, the talk made Leon more and more unhappy. His attitude was strange, at least in the eyes of Ian and Lan."Right, I never liked him, right, brother Leon?" asked Lan. He was annoyed to death when talking about Loris.Leon, who heard his name being called, instantly looked back, his eyes sharp. "Shut up."Lan and Ian immediately looked at each other. They gaped when they saw Leon's fierce expression that was different from usual."Get out of here!" Leon snapped at the two twins.Ian was even more astonished while Lan began to plead, "Brother Leon, what's wrong with us?" he asked in a low voice.Leon got angrier and started to release smoke from his hands. He began to show his uncontrollable emotions in front of Ian and Lan. "Go away."Ian, who saw that, frowned. He grabbed Lan's shoulder and pulled her out. They both went out without talking. Lan herself was confused, but Ian had a flat f
Loris 29Loris, who was hiding behind a tree, peeked out slightly. He saw a familiar jacket. "Huh?" Loris muttered."You know something?" asked The Eye in response.Loris gave a small snort. "Why don't you find out! You're the Eye!" said Loris, suppressing his voice.The Eye was confused. He just wiggled her eyeballs, glancing right and left."HEY! WHO THE FUCK ARE YOU!" shouted Loris again behind the tree. Leon, hiding behind the tree, clenched his fist, "You're the coward," Leon replied flatly. "Like a little mouse that can only hide".The silence between them made Leon's voice quite audible to Loris. He realized it.Loris immediately came out from behind the tree with widened eyes, "L-Leon?" asked Loris.He couldn't believe what he was hearing. Loris clenched in place.Leon, who was hiding, finally came out. He was still wearing a hat covering part of his face. "You finally came out too, little mouse," said Loen. A smirk was visible on his lips.Leon lowered his gun and started
Loris 30Time passed quickly, and Leon, who was blown away, did not realize the power of Loris that he underestimated. A few minutes ago, Leon grinned at the action of Loris brandishing his weapon, "A few minutes ago, Leon let Loris out and brandished a weapon at him. He was initially distrustful and underestimated Loris."Are you sure you can do it without shaking?" asked Leon dismissively. He grinned and laughed in front of Loris.Leon spread his arms, giving a significant gap in front of Loris, who stood firmly before him."Come on, I guarantee you won't dare to do it." He challenged from the tree."Don't regret it," Loris said calmly."Right! That's what you should do. Not give up!" The Eye confidently began to say as if everything was because of her.An annoyed Loris snapped, "Shut up and focus on where I need to shoot so I don't miss," Loris said.The Eye complied, but then she grumbled while Loris still flooded her magic bullets with magic. At that moment, The Eye blamed
Loris 31Amidst the rumbling, rising dust and blocking the view, Loris and Leon turned around to find their bullets missing their target.An explosion from Leon's bullet hit a tree trunk and made it fall.Meanwhile, Loris' bullet, which was blown away by the wind, hit a large rock and slipped into the trees."Hah! Who dares to interfere with my fight!" Leon shouted in annoyance.It was then that a few seconds later, the dust blocking the view began to disappear, and there stood a man with his back to Loris."Who are you?" asked Loris curiously."You who dare disturb my bullets!" Leon snapped, pointing at the tall and large man who appeared. But his face was still faint with dust.As the man turned around, Loris was startled and called out his name. "Huh?!"Leon, who realised it was Xeno, was also surprised. His eyes widened."Damn it, why are you here?" Leon grumbled.Leon and Loris both made surprised sounds when they saw Xeno appear.Leon and Loris also began to realise that Xeno wa
The sound of fast and busy footsteps began to pass in front of Loris."How is the patient?" the doctor asked the nurse."The bleeding has been stopped, doc. But the bullet is too deeply embedded. It seems to require surgery." She said hurriedly.Three nurses and a doctor talked while running in front of Loris, who was pensive in the hallway.At the end of the hallway, Federik, waiting in front of the emergency room door, started talking to the doctor who had just arrived.But the doctor only bowed slightly and spoke briefly, then directed Federik to the administration room.Loris, frozen in place, only felt many feet running around with an urgent and impatient aura.He felt the spacious hallway make his chest tight until Federik tapped him on the shoulder.Loris was stunned and looked up, their eyes staring at each other."You go home. Xeno will be with you," Federik ordered.Loris wanted to refuse, but his father went straight to the administration. Loris turned his head. Beside him
"Do you want to watch this judgment?" asked The Eye.Loris was just about to open Leon's courtroom, but the door had already opened first with the appearance of a grim-faced person behind it.Loris widened his eyes. He was silent. Not knowing what to say, he chose silence.On one side of, Leon, who had just appeared, was already sour-faced. Leon snapped the servant who stopped the wheelchair. "Why are you silent!" he snapped.Making Leon's servant who pushed the wheelchair directly past Loris.Leon put a face full of contempt and hatred in front of Loris."Next time, I'll kill you," Leon said quietly.Loris, who heard him, only raised an eyebrow. He originally wanted to come to show his concern. But instead, he was greeted with even more burning hatred."You freak," Loris retorted more loudly.The eye chuckled, "tsk tsk, he's weird. But I feel sorry for him because he has that much potential. He could have been a knight in fame." He said, praising in a small voice.Loris was silent. H
