Chapter 220: Side story - Where has all the time gone?
Being home alone wasn’t something that Casper ever liked.
Yes, he lived further away from everyone, but that wasn’t something he had decided on his own.
He needed that separation for his and everyone else’s well being. If he lived any closer, he might never leave the Tower. And what happened yesterday would happen a lot more often.
Granted, he’d always gotten close, but no one had ever stopped him before. Until now.
He’d been benched. By Kellen, no less. A man infamous for overworking himself.
Turns out, he was much better at doing it then Casper was. It was embarrassing. It was degrading, and honestly? It was a slap to his pride too. How long had he been working for the Guild? As soon as it was founded?
And yet Kellen had come in, like a wild storm, and slotted in as the missing piece that everyone needed. The Captain, Hill, Gunther, Green and everyone else.
Casper wasn’t the same.
He’d always known that he was...a little strange compared to the others. He had high compatibility, which meant that there were lots of Espers, Guilds, Centers, countries, etc. that wanted him.
But they didn’t want him.
They wanted his body. Not what he’d worked away at for years, defining himself as a good leader and competent Guide, no, they just wanted the inherent abilities lying inside of his body.
