433 Unfair?
In the kitchen of the Bonifacio family’s new house. Melissa was humming while washing plates and kitchen utensils. The water in the faucet flows at a slow pace as Melissa meticulously cleaned every nook and cranny of the plates and glasses.
She had just delivered the food to Fein’s room. And after she finished washing the utensils, she would go to her bakery shop.
‘I hope Fein would enjoy the food that I cooked for him,’ Melissa sighed.
It was already a year and her son hadn’t stepped foot out of his room. Melissa tried to convince Fein to come out, but it was for naught. Fortunately, Fein started to respond with short words after six months had passed, lessening her worries. So, she just did her best to improve her cooking skills further and took care of Fein’s food.
Melissa didn’t want her son to lose weight and become sick because of his lack of appetite. That’s the least thing she could do. Suddenly, a smile appeared on her face. ‘Fortunately, Sofia always visited my son. My son is really lucky to have that girl.
Yes... Sofia had visited Fein over the course of years and accompanied him. Sofia helped Fein ease the pain in his heart. After all, Gregory’s death had really hit him hard.
Fein was a child of a solo parent in his life and grew up fatherless. And when he was reincarnated, he didn’t have one either. So Gregory, who he respected and treated as a father figure, died. During the year of isolation, he realized that although he was far stronger than before, he still didn’t understand many things, and his knowledge wasn’t sufficient.
Of course, no one knew this. That’s why Melissa wondered just how important the ‘Friend’ was to her son for him to become like that.
THUD!
.....
As Melissa was thinking, she heard the door behind him. When she turned around, her lips parted slightly, and her eyes turned slightly moist. “Fein!”
Because in the door, although her son’s appearance changed drastically. She quickly recognized him! Melissa knew that her son was finally better!
“Mom,” Fein said softly and walked towards Melissa. He still appreciates his mother after she tirelessly took care of him in his darkest days. He even feels guilty for making her worried.
It’s just as if he didn’t take care of the negative emotions in his heart and settle it. He knew that they would just become worse and worse. Psychological health isn’t something to joke about, and Fein understood this truth. Some people do not take mental health seriously, and that’s why the depression and negative emotions that they tried to suppress backlashed against them. Some commit suicide and some directly become crazy.
Mental health and the psychological aspect of a person are important! Now Fein felt peaceful. Although his aura had changed, he never felt more light and comfortable in his heart. During the one year, he fought a different kind of battle, not physical, but mental. And he won!
“I’m glad that you finally stepped out of your room.” Melissa decided to not talk about anything heavy and just felt happy that her son was finally back to his normal self.
“I’m sorry.”
“It’s okay, son. Don’t worry about it. Just remember... If you have a problem, we’re always here for you.” Melissa smiled. “Look, do you want to cut your hair? It’s too long.”
“No... I’ll just keep it like this for a while.” Fein walked towards the mirror in the living room and finally saw his reflection after a year. He couldn’t help but cursed as he saw that he almost look like the main character in AOT! except for his hair color and the red pupil in his left eye. Though he looked a bit older because of the mustache.
He had to say that if in the past... He was the pretty boy or feminine type of beauty. Now, he became the manly type of handsome! And he prefers this masculine type of handsomeness than the pretty boy type.
After Fein had seen enough. He stretched his hand towards the side of the mirror and took a small blade to shave his mustache. ‘This is better.’
“Where’s Fey?” Fein looked at his mother.
“She’s busy... I don’t know what’s up with the job that she got. She told me that she got promoted last year.”
Fein didn’t react much and had expected it. After all, he knew that Fey became the Vice-Captain of the Ranger’s Eye.
‘I don’t know what happened to Michael and Kidd??’ Fein became somewhat curious about how the two coped. After all, they knew Gregory longer than him. He also knew that Kidd had disappeared again. But he just thinks that it was because of Gregory’s death.
“Well, I’ll take care of the bakery first. If you want to eat, there’s still a sandwich in the kitchen and some sausages.” Melissa walked closer to the door.
“Take care!” Fein responded with a soft voice and smiled.
After Melissa left, Fein’s expression turned cold and indifferent. Then he sat on the red sofa in the room and began to ponder.
In the year that he locked himself in the room. Sometimes, he would just meditate on his bed while the darkness of the room covered him. He didn’t do much, but he still reached the middle realm of S rank!
Yes, after he ascended to S rank. Ceterus told him that there are four small realms. Namely; entry, middle, advanced, and peak! Last year, as he had just ascended, he was still at entry level. But now, he was in the middle level!
He just sat on his bed and still got promoted? Isn’t this unfair? Because, according to Ceterus, it took him three years to reach the middle level. While others even had to spend six or seven years!
Fein found that his talent was really kind of unfair! If other S ranks knew it, they would surely spit a mouthful of blood. This is the crushing power brought by the difference in talent!
He also obtained his fourth mythical ability after he exchanged twelve regular tickets for a premium lottery.
Lastly, during his isolation, he had inspiration and finally improve his sword technique. And it’s not a simple improvement, but a qualitative change! The name of the new sword technique is...
