62: The Garbage 62: The Garbage In the Runic mage tower area, Axel’s little brother Akon was sitting in the outer library reading books in a separate chamber.
A few monts later, a plain old-looking man ca in and sat next to the boy.
The old man started speaking, “Brat, you should have co to and spoken about it sooner.” The little boy lowered his head in sha, he did not look at the old man anymore.
But the old man grumbled seeing that, he spoke, “Oh co on, now.
I am not reprimanding you; if you had just told this sooner, this could have been solved far beforehand.” The boy lowered his head and kept looking at the book.
The old man shook his head and said, “But don’t worry, brat.
I’ve handled it, that damn thing will never bother you again, nor anyone in your class.
You can be sure of that.” Akon asked hesitatingly, “But I heard, he, he has a mighty brother.” The old man said, remarking internally, ‘If only this brat knew, how strong his own brother was.’ “Don’t worry, this old man is much, much stronger, so is your brother,” revealed the old man.
Akon asked with wonderous eyes, “My brother is stronger than you, Sir Librarian.” Yes, the old man was Librarian Leroy.
He winced and rebuked, “Of course not, this old man is far stronger.
Your brother isn’t at that level yet.” Akon showed a nod and asked when his older brother would be coming back.
The old man checked a certain artifact and said with a smile, “Oh, it seems he’s coming back today.” Akon bead in joy, he was happy his brother was coming back after almost a month, or maybe more.
He knew that his older brother was busy with so important experints.
Old man Leroy also revealed that his older brother was successful in his endeavor.
The old man added at this mont with a slight cough, “Now, do a favor and don’t tell your older brother about what happened in the school, I an the fact that you were actually bullied.” Akon nodded, “It was my fault for revealing the fact that we were from the streets, the slums.” Old man Leroy sighed sadly and stated, “Those born rich have prejudice against those who are poor.
Those born poor have a prejudice against the rich.
Those with power despise the powerless, the powerless despise the powerful.” “The immortals view mortals as ants, while the mortals view immortals as fake.” “That’s just how the world is, and it always will be.
As it is ant to be.” Akon’s eyes beca fascinated by the piece of wisdom that the old man had revealed.
He nodded in understanding.
Then, seriously started thinking about what the old man said, but old man Leroy ruffled Akon’s hair as he said, “Now go back to your apartnt, your brother will be expecting you there.” Little Akon hurriedly went back to the apartnt, reading his books as usual, waiting for his brother to co back.
A few hours later, the sound of the door unlocking was heard by Akon.
But he did not go out to greet his brother, he waited for him, silently.
The sound of shallow footsteps ca closer and closer, until a familiar but changed figure appeared in his view.
He looked up from his book.
His older brother was staring at him with a pleasant smile.
Akon also smiled at his brother.
His brother asked, “How have you been, little bro?” Akon answered cheerfully, “Pretty good, as always.” Axel ca closer and ruffled his hair ssily, “Oh?
That ans you didn’t miss this older brother of yours’s you damn, punk.” Akon laughed sheepishly, both brothers laughed, talking about this and that, and they went out.
There was a newly built magic amusent park, Axel took Akon with him to the place.
They spent so quality ti, unlike when at school, Akon didn’t need to fake his sense of self.
He could, after a long ti, be just himself and not need to worry about anything else.
The whole day passed in enjoynt.
They also kind of reminisced, but they did not appear sad when that sad topic was brought up.
Instead, they were both happy with how far they had co, but Akon felt himself lacking in the midst of it.
After all, this improvent in lifestyle could be attributed to only his brother and his brother alone.
But he shook off that feeling and simply enjoyed the ti with his brother.
He, of course, tactfully made sure not to reveal the fact that he was bullied, even as a slip of the tongue.
While Axel himself also tactfully did not reveal any of the turmoil he went through, how he killed his father, then the person who he sowhat considered a friend, had thrown such a disgusting comnt at him.
Just the thought of it made his blood boil.
But none of those negative emotions showed on his face; he also enjoyed the ti, simply seeing his little brother, who knew nothing but sadness, being so happy.
He was walking through a beautiful lake bridge with Akon, but suddenly another small boy called out from behind.
Akon abruptly stopped hearing that voice as he looked backwards, but an internal shudder ran through him.
It was Xenon, the damn sadistic classmate of his, In fact initially they were very good friends, one of his closest friends in the whole first year of his schools, but one day sohow so of the facts leaked from Akon’s mouth, the fact that they actually lived on the slums.
That their mother was once a prostitute.
It happened in a spur-of-the-mont.
Xenon was sharing his own situation, so he felt like he had to share so of his own things as well.
Being so close to him at the ti, he forgot the fact that he shouldn’t reveal things about his past.
At first, his friend thought that he was perhaps joking, but when he understood that Akon’s words were actually the truth.
The boy showed him an absolutely disgusted expression.
Akon at that mont did not understand the full implications of the things he revealed.
The next day, Akon found every single classmate of his staring at him with disgusted expressions, and many of them continued to curse at him.
While so of them asked him if the things Xenon revealed were indeed the truth or not.
He couldn’t lie on that occasion.
A part of him did not want to lie as well.
So, he simply nodded, agreeing with all that.
From then on, things beca almost hell for him.
Of course, there were certain boundaries that the students could not cross.
But it didn’t take long for almost the whole class to turn against him.
No one would sit near him or go remotely near him.
They would show a disgusted expression towards him.
As if they were seeing the most disgusting garbage in the world.
While no one could put their hands on him.
Or try anything extre.
The teachers tried to diate the situation.
But they could do little when the whole class was against him.
The whole school learned of this, and shifting to another school will make things even worse.
Everyone had given him one nickna, “THE GARBAGE”.
It happened around the ti his brother beca busy with his project, and a few months had passed since then.
He did not want to bother his older brother with those things; he had no intention of saying anything to his brother.
Especially since the librarian said that he had taken care of it.
But to et this sadistic bastard now, of all the tis, what a damn luck, Seeing that Akon was not responding, Axel asked his brother curiously, “What?
is he your friend?
From school?” But the little boy nad Xenon at this mont chuckled, “Oh co on now, Akon.
Not responding to your friend here?
Huh.
What’s wrong with you?” But Akon only had a bad feeling about the strangeness of this bastard, he still forced out a smile as he said, “Oh, hey.
Funny eting you here.
What are you doing?” Xenon responded, “Hah, yeah sa sa, funny eting you here, well things were going quite well for .
Since this was a beautiful place, only the families of the mages were allowed in here.
But sothing just had to happen.” But it was Axel who asked the question, smiling towards a boy whom he presud to be Akon’s friend, “And what problem might that be?” “I encountered so garbage here, it’s so disappointing that the workers are not keeping such a place clean properly,” exclaid Xenon with a smile.
The mont Akon heard that, his throat went dry in fear, no, no, no, no.
Not in front of brother, at least not in front of his brother.
He panicked, unable to speak.
“But I don’t didn’t see any trash around here, though?” asked Axel skeptically.
The little boy nad Xenon’s smile broadened.
He raised his hand and pointed a finger straight towards Akon, and Akon’s face turned absolutely pale in terror.
He unconsciously glanced towards his brother.
Who had a thoughtful expression on his face.
He considered, Could it be so sort of prank or ga between the kids here?
So he asked honestly, “What do you an?” The boy smiled again and said mockingly, “Why?
I an that he is the only GARBAGE here, of course.” CREATORS’ THOUGHTS Seeker_of_Chaos Please vote with the power stones.
