Aster Veren
Episode 160's

- Arshel

I looked at Aslan's men who had been captured by my men.

"Hmm ... So they're the ones who planned the accident?" My murmur made them all more and more bowed, trying to avoid my fixed gaze.

"Ka–we're just–"

"Receive command. That so?" Cut me while pulling the hair of one of them.

"You know? I hate people like you who accept dirty work by harming others, just for the sake of less money than your own life?" I really can't hold back my anger any more than this.

"You have no right to lecture those of us who are born poor." Said the other man in a trembling voice.

"No. Want to be poor or rich though, everyone has no right to play with the lives of others right?" Kill me while letting go of my fingers violently.

"Hha–haha, look at yourself, sir. You're playing with our lives too, right?" The other said while chuckling, making my annoyance even more heightened.

How could he have said that when he was first looking for trouble with my family? Is he stupid?

"Do you think I'll beat you up if you don't touch my family? Ah no-no, my explanation is too complicated. Tell you what, would you just shut up if one of your families was rendered unconscious in the same vile way you did my family?" Clearly I was crouching before the curly-haired man who chuckled earlier.

"ah! Or maybe you don't know what it's like because you don't have a family?" I looked at him sharply.

"To–please forgive us sir. We're just–" said the man I previously snapped, begging for mercy.

"Give them a lesson, and then hand them over to the police station." Cut me down to make all my men move closer to the three men.

"Master, I beg you! I cannot go to jail if I am in prison. What about my wife and kids?" I don't care about her scream.

He should have thought about the fate of his family before acting this far. It's like this just begging to be released. He thinks I care? What guarantee they won't do anything like this again if I let them go? After all, judging from their faces, they are not easy people to look at.

Therefore, to make them kapok. They should feel the appropriate recompense for their actions. Although I honestly want to punish them more cruelly by using both hands. But I say it because I don't want to dirty my hands for people like them.

Dreet!

Shaking my phone made me rush to pick up the incoming call from the hospital number.

-Sean

"It's so bad" said Hendric, who was suddenly sitting next to me.

Right now I am sitting on an empty chair beside the sports field, watching everyone who is exercising to fill their sports scores.

"You're not going to take value?" Continue to raise your voice.

"Hah~ I'm gone." I answered after a long breath. I don't know, it feels so boring because there's no Aster. That kid came to me to be his basketball partner. But now, he had instead quit the academy.

I don't know when I started to notice her, I can't take my eyes off her adorable figure when I'm angry. Her sad and happy expression looked adorable, and now I can't see any more of it.

It was like being abandoned by the light of the sun .., my mind could not describe the figure of Aster in my life.

"Enhanced friend. The world won't be destroyed just because there's no Aster here." Tia's voice while patting my shoulder strongly enough to make me squeal.

"Hhehe, Aster must be fine now. So stop putting on such ugly expressions. You're making your fans run scared tau!" The next made me snort angrily when I heard his words.

"Who cares about them?" Mumbled grumbling.

"Hee... You don't care about women other than Aster?" His almost yelling made me reflexively cover his mouth with both hands.

What's really going on with this kid? Why has he been bothering me ever since Aster's departure. Does he intend to entertain me? Or just make me the joke? Whatever it is, it's all so annoying to me.

"Sean!" Nadin's yelling made me look at him, "your turn." This made me hurry to get closer to him.

The gym teacher asked Nadin to get the grades of all the kids while he went out. Yes, Nadin said the sports teacher was having important business that could not be left outside the academy.

"One minute okay, and you count yourself how many balls you manage to put in the basketball hoop." He said before blowing a whistle hanging from his neck, then at the same time he also pressed a small button on the stopwatch he was holding.

-Teo

I paused my intention to go into the bathroom when I heard Carel's voice from inside. My eyebrows shriveled in confusion when I heard his voice. Yeah, weird! Why did the boy come to the toilet of the building where I was studying? Isn't there a toilet in the building?

"... I've been patient to wait for you to tell me the secret you mean. So quickly tell me what you're keeping from me!" He sounds annoyed. I don't know who he was talking to.

"Don't mess with me Dwi!" It makes me reflexively say oh.

Apparently the boy was receiving a call from his brother, and he was charging his brother's promise.

"... Should I tell him?" I muttered feeling sorry for my roommate, she must be very confused right now.

"No! I have to keep my mouth shut if I want to keep hearing Aster." I continued shaking my head, dismissing my good intentions to tell Carel.

It's all for the good of both of them, that's how I thought before I left the toilet door.

"Theo?" Kalea's voice coming out of the female toilet, passed me.

"Lea." Reply greeted.

"Where are you from? Is the training finished?" The question made me reflexively rub my nape.

"Yes, I'm out of the toilet." I answered, even if it did not. I continue in my heart.

"How's the test?"

"Lumayan. I can even fit more basketballs than anyone else." I replied bragging with puffing my chest, I don't know suddenly I want to act kindly before Kalea.

"really? It turned out that Teo was great too huh ..," he said praising me with his right hand that had already grabbed the top of my head, stroking it gently making my mood improve.

"... Will I take you to the front of your class?" My mouth makes her smile. It felt like my heart was relieved when I saw Kalea was a little more excited than the days before. Does that mean he's getting used to it without Aster?

"Let's go!" Kalea cried as she grabbed my hand and went hand in hand towards her class.

"How was your lesson today?" I asked again to raise my voice while tidying up her slightly messy hair bangs.

"Well, but .. there's a little lesson I don't understand." He answered after breathing out his tiredness.

"You want to learn together? We can go to the library when the class hours are over." My question again made him nod quickly, still with his warm smile.

"Yes, let's go!"
