101 Avatars
86. Remembering His Struggle

A few days after the incident, the situation calmed down again.  I started to return to my usual college life activities.  This is the time of KRS management.  I decided to take as few courses as possible in order to focus on the search and extermination of the remains of the avatar monsters.  You see, there was not much time left to go to world destruction if the avatar monsters were not immediately annihilated.

“Hai, Adrian.  What's with that gloomy-looking face?”  Suddenly a cute and seductive voice greeted me while touching my cheek with the tip of her index finger.

At once my face turned red because that figure was none other than Nafisah.

“Ah, Breath?”

“Hehehehehe.”  I saw the woman laughing cheerfully as soon as I misbehaved after realizing her existence.

Nafisah also approached me while peeking at the KRS sheet I was holding.

“Eh, Adrian only takes 4 out of 6 compulsory courses for first-year children?”  Tell me the breath.

The position of his head was right under my chin, close to my heart that made me unable to control my heartbeat faster.  Perhaps if logic had not stifled my desire, I would have embraced and kissed the enchanting woman before me.

Gegara Freeze, surely Nafisah has realized my feelings for him.  But why is he still close to me?  Can I take it as a sign that he loves me too?  I wanted to hug and not let this woman out of my grasp again.

But yeah, I'll hold it for a while.  I don't want any other thoughts at this time to interfere with my task of exterminating the avatar monsters.  Everything will be useless if the world is destroyed.

Nafisah also immediately looked at me with her small face plus dimples and curves of her lips are beautiful because her teeth were so long I did not answer the question.

Once again my chest will break.  However, I still tried to maintain my sanity that had reached the crown.

“Well, you know for yourself, Nafisah.  For now, I should focus my mind on my side job as the Blue Arrow Knight.”  I replied timidly to the woman.

“Yeah, I guess that's the usual Adrian.”  Nafisah told me while smiling brightly that I did not understand for myself what it meant.

“Thank God that you no longer feel down.  I'm sure Kaiser, ah, no, Brother Healer kah, don't want you to get dissolved in grief.  If you need help, the Wijayakusuma family is ready to help at any time, Adrian.  Keep that in mind, moreover, you are no longer someone else in Dad's eyes.”  Nafisah continued with her charming smile.

Well, Nafisah was right.  I still have to step forward to continue the struggle Healer entrusted to me that.  Healer has given mankind the opportunity to fight with all his plans.  How could I possibly waste every drop of sweat that he fought for all this that even cost him his own life.

Even though I am still angry and will never forget the actions of those who have done such a thing to him, there is no point in thinking about it now.  But honestly, at least I want them to regret their actions and then apologize to the body of Healer who has turned into dust grains of data.

However, as if only part of the event in a forgotten historical event, now they all just return to their normal lives as usual, laughing cheerfully, moving back as if nothing happened.  Meanwhile, Healer is now gone due to their actions.  They all felt absolutely no guilt just because Healer was also an avatar monster.

Though I also know that, that one day Healer still have to experience it because we also can not avoid the rejection of gaia by its existence, but at least I want my mentor to get appreciation and recognition for his services, but at least I want my mentor to get appreciation and recognition for his services, it was not the cold stare on his struggling figure, which even now was only the result of his struggle being remembered, while the struggling figure made it happen, they deliberately erased it in their own memories.

It's really unfair to Healer.

“Ah, Adrian meet.”

“Oh, Adrian, Miss Nafisah, do we not bother you two affectionately?”

However, before I had a chance to chat further about Nafisah about his last words, Zenri and Bobi came, came, moreover, Bobi really broke the fitting timing which makes it awkward if I discuss it again.

“Mesra-mesraan.  We just had a normal conversation.  But well, it's not wrong either.”  I said shyly commenting on Bobi's statement while glancing at Nafisah.

I saw Nafisah smiling gently at me.  A moment later, he said, “I will always wait for you, Adrian.”  He said with a face that looked flushed and immediately ran from before me.

What does it mean to always wait for me?  Does that mean Nafisah is also waiting for my declaration of love for her?  Of course not.  Definitely what he meant was waiting for me to ask his family for help in dealing with the avatar monsters.

“What's up, Adrian?  Is something worrying you?”  Bobi's words then startled me and immediately dragged me back to the real world from my daydream that is not-no.

“No kok.”  Answer's short.

Bobi momentarily looked at me closely, flipping his gaze between my face and the floor, seemingly considering something whether it was worth it or not.

But finally, a voice came out of his throat, “The netizens, but they did not know anything, but they instead carelessly commented about the Hero of Red Blood.  But whatever they say, me and of course the people he saved, thanking through the bottom of our hearts for the heroic actions of the hero beyond who is behind the identity of the mask.”

I was frustrated by Bobi's statement.  I clenched my teeth in anger.  Seeing my reaction, Bobi patted me on the shoulder.

“Adrian?”  Lirih Bobis.

Being carried away by anger, unconsciously, I said,

“Lantas, what about those who together ruthlessly killed the hero who had been helpless due to running out of power after saving them just because of the threat of monsters?  So what about those who think it's okay just because of the identity of the hero who is also a monster?!”

I once again bowed in frustration after revealing my heart to Bobi.  I realized that I shouldn't have taken it out on Bobi who was trying to comfort me at the time.  However, still my logic was defeated by this mounting anger.

But I saw Bobi just smiling at me.  He said, “That's how cruel the world is.  Even differences between the same species alone make them bear to insult each other and muddle each other.  Especially if it covers race differences.  I, whose identity as a mutant has been known, understand this the most.  However, it is the friends around me who try to understand me that keep me strong.”

Bobi then fell silent for a moment before continuing to speak.

“There is nothing we can do against the strong prejudice of humanity for a foreign existence for them.  But, Adrian, the hero certainly already knows that, but still chose to fight because no matter what the purpose he believes it is much more important for him.  Then it is clear what we should do as people who appreciate his struggle, especially you as his student.”

The words of Bobi instantly brought me back to my senses about what is most important in this struggle.  The hard struggle in which we must always be prepared to sacrifice our lives, for the greater purpose, is for the survival of our species.
