Last chapter after managing to paralyze Aeko's arms and stab his back, Dahai seems to have cornered him against the wall. However, Aeko manages to turn the tables on him using his blessing and beats him unconscious. Luckily with the help of Dahai's blessing, Karia is able to stand once more, which allows her to pummel Aeko into the wall.

Seric's P.O.V.

"Nope! You guys... you guys are staying right here!" Aeko says sniffling.

"Alright then, come out and get us." Karia grins as she looks at Aeko. This is a side of Karia haven't seen much of before, it's almost... evil.

Aeko tries to move, but the metal surrounding him in the wall makes it a difficult task.

After a bit of grunting and struggling later, Aeko frees one of his arms. Reaching into his pocket he pulls out a remote control, in which he presses a button on.

A moment later I hear synchronized marching from beside me, but there's no soldiers to be seen. The sound continues to march away from me, and it seems to be going in the direction of Aeko and Karia.

I'm about to warn her until the robots become visible out of thin air next to her. This time though they walk past her and head towards the wall to Aeko.

This time their eye lights are blue instead of the previous orange/yellow, which I assume means that they're on a different setting.

"Get me out of here now!" Aeko yells as the robots crawl inside of the hole and towards Aeko.

To my suprise Karia is standing still with her arms crossed, watching him be freed.

"Hey, Karia! You're going to stop them right?!" I yell in a worried tone.

"Why would I? I wanna kick his ass some more." Karia says.

"Karia you experienced what he did to you, and you can see what he did to Dahai! We came here to rescue not to fight! And- and there's a little girl worried sick about Dahai, we can't afford to fight for nothing!" I yell out at Karia's cockiness.

"You're just scared for your own sake, not hers. If you wanna stop them then go ahead, there's no one stopping you." This makes me cringe and look to the side, since it's the truth.

"No... you're wrong! Just come on, please!" I lie.

"..." She doesn't respond to me.

The robots continue to work on getting Aeko out, using lasers to cut off the metal surrounding him in the wall.

"WHEN I GET OUT OF HERE, ALL OF YOU ARE- ARE DEAD!" Aeko says with one last tear.

This makes me start shaking.

"FU-FUWARU! FUWARU!" Aeko laughs out as he begins to start slowly crawling out of the hole with the assistance of his robots.

"NOW GET ME ON MY FEET!" He roars as he flops to the floor with a bounce, and begins to be lifted up to his feet by 5 of his robots.

I start to feel pity as I see the bloody mess that is Aeko, with his black leather jacket and black jeans stained red. Suprisingly his bones definitely seem to be heavily damaged, but he can still stand with the help of his robots and move his arms a bit.

"Spirit of Kodan: Compress." Karia says with a grin as two giant ghost hands appear on Aeko's left and right side.

"Heh!" Aeko smiles as he puts his right hand in the pocket of his leather jacket. He takes it out a moment later, and clumsily swings his arm like he's throwing an imaginary object.

The hands are about to compress Aeko until suddenly out of thin air a knife pierce's Karia's shoulder.

"Agh!" Karia yells in pain as she lowers her arms, the fists surrounding Aeko disappearing.

"What the hell!?" Karia and I both yell as she looks at the knife in her shoulder.

"How'd you like that!?" Aeko says victoriously as the robots behind him start raising their hands in the air.

"I'M TALKING TO HER NOT YOU!!" Aeko yells out as the robots lower their heads depressingly.

"Go ahead and try that again, I dare you!" He says cockily as Karia rips out the knife from her shoulder with a wince of pain.

Karia takes her hand off of her injured shoulder a second later, and starts to run in zig zags towards Aeko. This time at a crazy speed, like at Vegahold

Aeko seems startled by this and quickly shoves his hand into his pocket and once again does a sloppy throwing motion towards Karia, but throwing nothing.

"𝘏𝘦 𝘩𝘢𝘴 𝘵𝘰 𝘩𝘢𝘷𝘦 𝘴𝘰𝘮𝘦 𝘴𝘰𝘳𝘵 𝘰𝘧 𝘣𝘭𝘦𝘴𝘴𝘪𝘯𝘨, 𝘣𝘶𝘵 𝘸𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘪𝘴 𝘪𝘵? 𝘍𝘪𝘳𝘴𝘵 𝘩𝘦 𝘮𝘢𝘥𝘦 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘭𝘢𝘴𝘦𝘳 𝘢𝘱𝘱𝘦𝘢𝘳 𝘰𝘶𝘵 𝘰𝘧 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘯 𝘢𝘪𝘳, 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘯 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘳𝘰𝘣𝘰𝘵𝘴, 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘯𝘰𝘸 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘬𝘯𝘪𝘧𝘦𝘴... 𝘏𝘰𝘸 𝘤𝘢𝘯 𝘩𝘦 𝘮𝘢𝘬𝘦 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘮 𝘢𝘱𝘱𝘦𝘢𝘳 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘥𝘪𝘴𝘢𝘱𝘱𝘦𝘢𝘳?"

"Spirit of Kodan: Strike!" Karia yells as she runs at Aeko, punching the air in front of him at the same time, but not hitting him with the giant fist. After this she jumps back to where she was before.

"Fuwaru Fuwaru! Nice aim!" Aeko laughs out while pointing at Karia.

I hear a clang on the ground a few seconds later, but with nothing to be seen.

I gasp when I come to a conclusion.

Karia smirks, "I guess you figured it out too, Seric. I don't know how we didn't get it sooner."

"Spirit of Bersia: Hide of Aegis." Karia says calmly as she gracefully pulls her purple translucent hide from thin air, and continuing to wrap it around herself in a 360 degree spin. This time the hide is fully restored.

"Huh? You can make clothes too? But what's the point if you can see through them? You dummy! Ahahaha!" Aeko says obnoxiously.

Karia starts to run at Aeko who's beside the wall, and he reaches into his pocket, throwing another "imaginary" object at her.

Unlike last time, no knife pierce's Karia, but another clang sounds across the room from Karia's direction.

Aeko panics and starts to throw multiple "imaginary" things at Karia, but it only causes more clangs to be heard across the rectangular room as Karia comes closer.

"S-Stay away!" He yells in fear standing still, trying to to move but not being able to go an inch. His robots are unmoving for whatever reason, with their eyes still flashing blue.

Karia stops running when she sees him immobile, and starts walking towards him casually.

Standing in front of him, she puts her hand over his bloody chest, which suprises Aeko and causes him to start steaming and blush.

"Spirit of Bersia: Electron Pass Over."

Karia says as Aeko suddenly starts to shake vigorously, some of his skin even being burnt in the process, smoke appearing around him.

He then falls to his knees, his eyes blanked out.

"Hey, you alive?" Karia asks while slapping his face with her own hand.

She keeps on hitting him while he sits there taking the hits, and like Karia said before it's hard to tell if he is even alive at this point.

"Karia... Isn't... Isn't that enough?" I ask with guilt and disgust.

"Huh? Don't tell me you're actually feeling bad for this fatass." Karia responds light-heartedly.

"I... I just can't... can't take seeing someone like this." I say honestly.

"You'll neve-"

"WHAT THE HELL DID YOU JUST CALL MEEEEEEEE?!?!?!"

I hear a yell that's be loud enough to damage eardrums.

Karia's hands are over her ears, and she's heavily distored after being right next to him when he yelled.

20 Years ago, in the Hopian Territory, on an island named "Zeris"

Narrators P.O.V.

On this day, a little boy named Aeko was preparing for his first ever day of normal school. Normally a child of his age would have been in school for a few years by now, however Aeko was a different case.

His family was rich. Filthy rich.

Hence, instead of going to an ordinary school like the other kids of his island would, instead he was home-schooled by his parents and residents of his family's household. Until this day of course.

"Mama! Papa!" He says with enthusiasm, running down the spiraling stairs from his bedrooms floor.

"Honey... are you sure about this? Putting him in a school of those people..." The boy hears his father nervously say from the kitchen that was more akin to a restaurant.

"Of course! Our little boy needs to see what it's like to be with ordinary people, he can't just stick in this property his whole life!" His mom responds with glee.

"..." The father doesn't reply.

"Oh, speak of the devil!" His mom says as she turns and sees her son standing in the doorway.

"Are you ready, Aeko?" She asks.

"Fuwaru Fuwaru! Of course I am!" He grins with his new pink mohawk standing tall, which he got to fit in more.

"Then let's go, shall we?"

The boy only nods vigorously as his happy mother and worried father walk him out the door.

A few minutes later they arrive at the school which was much smaller than what they were used to.

"Aeko... Stay safe." The father says with a face that's unexpected for a child's first day of school.

Aeko only tilts his head, and heads into the school with anticipation of meeting new people.

Aeko arrives in his first class, seeing people conversing around the room. In the front of the class was a big screen, which directly connected to the teachers computer.

"Hey! I'm-"

"You're from THAT house aren't you?" One of the students respond, interrupting him.

"What do you mean?" Aeko asks.

"It means that you're family is a piece of garbage! Look at him, you can tell he's rich by how fat he is!"

All of the students begin to laugh at Aeko for this, many calling him brutal words for their age, like "fatass", all before he even has the chance to say his real name.

"And what's with the Mohawk? You look like a blockhead!" After all of that work of getting the Mohawk to fit in, the boy was only criticised for it.

He went home that day faking his happiness, fooling both of his parents.

The next day, the same thing occurred and he faked his happiness once again, making up stories about how he met new people and made friends.

Aeko loved his parents dearly. After all they were always so kind to him, and gave him everything he pleased. Also since getting someone like him into a ordinary school took an extreme amount of work, he smiled through the pain. As long as he had them- as long as they were happy- it was fine.

For months, Aeko smiled through the pain.

However, one day, Aeko had already taken his daily tormenting, but a fellow student walked up to him.

"Hey, was that ugly thing your mom earlier today?" The boy snorts.

This breaks Aeko's normal tolerance, and immediately he punches the boy in the face, launching him face first on the dirt.

A/N: What turned Aeko into the heartless man he is today? Is there a reason for his bratty attitude?
