Chapter 100: Oliver
Oliver stood beside Camila, her hand nestled in his like a quiet promise. She leaned into him slightly, the edges of her smile soft and real. He ran his thumb along her fingers, savoring the quiet warmth in the gesture.
He was happy that they happened, he had always liked her, even before they got promoted to Red Sphinx district, when the entire class were just strangers living together.
She would be the one to call him over to hunt together with them when they were broke. Although they didn’t talk much, all these simple actions make him feel good about himself.
Until that incident when he almost killed someone in a duel, at that time Magnus was still recovering, so his domain weren’t available.
But the deed was already done, the boy was handicapped.
He was even the main reason Magnus had to cover the entire school in his domain to avoid any mistake that led to death or a state whereby the students could no longer fight.
Then the vermilion clan instructor that led the clan barated him in front of the entire class, telling him that he could never fight again with his cursed powers.
But he tried to rebel, why would he not fight again, this was his power hand he would learn to control it. But the news came, the boy was handicapped and couldn’t continue in school, so he dropped out, luckily the boy was a commoner and he couldn’t take any action against him.
Two months after the boy went back home, he couldn’t cope and.... Committed suicide.
The guilt was what made him stop using his powers that was until Camila came along.
She looked up at him. "You’re thinking about me... Aren’t you?".
