Chapter 55: Finding Dreadiron.
As Kenji moved through the mine, looking for a potential vein to harvest the dreadiron ore from. He couldn’t help his mind from wandering off.
What if he had never sent her away?
What if he knew this was going to happen?
What if, just what if he had trusted her to make her own decisions?
* What did I even do that?! * Kenji thought, as he angrily smashed the wall right next to him with his bare fist, causing blood to trickle out from his wounds.
But even after feeling the pain, Kenji ignored it. The rage and anger within him. The annoyance of how much he keeps hurting himself. How much he doesn’t learn to live his own life and not follow someone else’s footsteps!
* Gha!*
" Why? Why? Why? Why?!! Fucking hell!" He screamed, smashing his fist continuously on the wall, his anger brimming through his fist, as he smashed and smashed again, relentless, as he felt the more pain.
On the other side of the cave, behind a wall, Haruka’s face leaned in quietly, watching Kenji, as he furiously punched the walls of the mine in rage and rejection.
Her eyes flickered with saddness, as she wanted to run over to him and give him a hug. But she knew that this was necessary, if she went to stop him now, everything she said to him would be as weightless as a plastic bag in the air.
Her eyes kept on flickering with difficulty,* I’m sorry Kenji. I didn’t mean to say all of that, but it’s the only way to get you out of this path of a follower. As this is your time, your time to show them all, that you’re more than just a worm... I’m sorry,*
