Ares: Never Grow Up
Past Ron! (1)

POV: Author

The world is not a fair place, but it is also not an unfair place. Depending on which point of view you look at, justice about your 'prespective' will begin to emerge. How you look at the world, how you deal with the world, and how you blend into it.

The more humans, the more different perspectives there are. And it's divided into two groups. Minority or majority.

The world has not changed since ancient times, only slightly adapted to suit the conditions. The law of the jungle still applies. But it is not the strong who eat, but the strong who rule.

Like a thread of destiny, a minority will not win over a majority. And just like the animals, the strong will eventually win.

If you are strong, you will be heard. If you're beautiful, you'll be noticed. If you're smart, then you'll be spoiled.

This is a fact that a child is aware of. By the time he was 5, he was forced to realize how 'hypocritical' the world said.

Name's Ron. Ron Vloid, one of the children of a genius family. This is the story, which proves that 'prespective' was formed since we were children. And this is the story, about how a monster is born.

POV: Ron

"Oh my goodness! You're already big! Wasn't the last time I saw you, you were still this tall?"

"Your son is so handsome and smart! The future must be very bright!"

"Ahh, I hope he is my son! I'm tired of constantly scolding my lazy son for studying!"

"It seems I should ask you for tips to teach my son!"

"Really! Your son is very polite and smart! I want him to hang out with my son so he gets his smarts!"

I'm Ron. One of the children of a genius family. At my fifth age. I managed to learn multiplication and division. I also know about 2 languages other than the one I speak.

"Oh gosh~ don't talk that way, if your son hears it, he will be very hurt," said my mother as she touched the other woman's hand.

"Mother, I'll go to the room first huh?" I asked while pulling my mother's clothes slowly. He turned to me, then smiled softly.

"Oh alright~ are you going to learn again? Don't push yourself too hard, baby, you're great for what you are" he said, then kissed me on the forehead. I just nodded then immediately got off the sofa. While running small, I immediately left the room.

Click.

"Haaah, I'm tired!" I said while breathing. My mother was a socialite, almost every day she invited people to our house. And I don't know how many compliments I hear every time a guest comes here.

"I am very sleepy .. I want to sleep first .. study it later tonight," I said and crawled up to the bed. Lying down, I pulled out a warm blanket to make me comfortable.

Tics. Tics. Tics.

Sszzt ssszzt

The sound of the clock ticking makes my sleep even more sound.

Tok to tok.

"Ron, are you inside?"

I started to wake up and rubbed my eyes. My eyes glanced towards the alarm clock on my right.

It's still 1 in the morning.

I got out of bed and opened the door.

Cklek.

"What's wrong, ma'am?" I asked with a sleepy expression. My mother came with a glass of milk.

"Have you learned?" ask her while smiling. I fell silent, only to remember that I had not learned today.

"Not yet Ma'am" I said and yawned at the end of the sentence. Hearing my words, my mother just kept quiet and smiled, her eyes looking at me blankly.

"Drink milk first yuk? After that let's learn, I'll be with you" my mother said, giving me a glass of milk. I immediately smiled brightly and received that glass of milk.

It tastes sweet and warm! Mom is very attentive to me!

Glek glek.

I immediately finished that glass of milk in a few gulps. After that I just returned the milk glass to my mother.

"How does it feel?" my mother asked, receiving a glass of milk from my hand. I smiled broadly while giving a thumbs up.

"It tastes good!" satisfied say.

"What will we learn today?" I asked when I saw my mom start picking up some books.

Bluk!

"We start with math, I'll teach you how to work on fractions" my mother said, sitting next to me. He had already prepared a complete notebook with his writing tools.

Maybe because the genes of my family are all smart people, I'm grateful that my brain is able to accept matter easily. Even including materials that should have just been taught to a child older than me.

3 Hours later, my mother was asleep. I'm still working on some stuff from the end of the chapter. Because I'm not sleepy at all.

"I think enough for today, I have to sleep" I said, closing all the books in front of me. I lay down next to my mother and started to close my eyes.

...

Deg.

Deg.

Deg.

DEG!

DEG!

DEG!

I woke up again, why is my heart beating so much like this? I got off the bed and went to the kitchen.

I decided to take some water so I could be calmer.

Glucose glucoses!

"Gee! Nah! Let's go back to sleep!" I immediately rushed back to the room, and lay there again.

But my heartbeat wasn't normal, it felt so weird. Finally, I couldn't sleep until sunrise.

"Rone! I brought you a tutor!" my mother said while introducing a man in a light brown suit. He was tall but thin, bespectacled, and looked ugly.

I'm just being honest, his face is really ugly.

"Next month you're going to go to a top school! You must prepare yourself of course!" my mother said with passion. I just nodded lazily, not knowing when I started having insomnia. I have not slept for more than 5 days. Although I can sleep, but I always have nightmares. I finally woke up again in the middle of the night.

Even as I glazed, there was a black color under my eyes.

"please help! From now on, I'll be your teacher!" the man said and extended his hand to me. I was still silent as I looked at her thin hands, then looked at my mother. It was obvious that he wanted me to accept the hand job from the teacher.

"Please ask for his help, teacher," I said with a flat expression.

I'm very sleepy, but I can't sleep.

"Well this is for the tutoring schedule, we'll start later tonight huh. The lesson will be finished in 4 hours" my teacher said, handing me a piece of paper.

Again, I just nodded and obeyed.

I drank the milk my mother made, then went back to the room. I'm studying with the teacher in my room right now.

The deg!

Nyut!

Suddenly my head hurt so much, I staggered back into the room.

"I'm sorry, can we stop it first ... study it?"

My eyes suddenly darkened.

BRUK!

...

TBC.

DON'T FORGET THE LIKES, GUYS!
