Hero Jentaka
Chp.38 Deep pain

Many people were swept away with thoughts in their heads. In fact, the water on the south coast has magical powers.

As long as they were swept away in a roll of water and banged here and there, filling their heads was like thinking faster and remembering things they had not always thought of all this time.

"Is your head still dead?" Angelo stared at the people who had come out of the water. When holding a brush in front of their respective canvases but it looks like none of them have incised the slightest color on the canvas.

The southern sea gave these people two things, contemplation and memory.

The sun went down but somehow it felt so sad. Even Levin couldn't hold his smile any longer. He began to regret jumping into the water.

"Then this gets better." Old man Hoshi smiled widely. See the one-on-one paintings of the examinees.

Angelo and old man Jenskin were the most relieved after all of this. If there was no solution to this then absolutely no one would graduate to become a military elite this year.

"Well, you'll see my painting." Old man Hoshi showed me the painting.

The sky is white with beautiful clouds. Birds in pairs and flocking flying looks beautiful in the sky.

Below, he describes the waves of water that raged with firm lines and contrasting colors between blue and yellow.

"Sometimes, our heads can be very calm under any circumstances, because people like us are used to living under any kind of pressure." The examinee was silent as he listened to old man Hoshi's words.

"With our hearts, raging in deep feelings of sadness and sorrow"

"We don't understand people, we need storymates. Through painting, you can tell all the pain in the heart by painting like this without judging anyone else."

"That means the scene that old man Hoshi wanted was not just about what we saw but also about what we've been feeling." Theodore came to the conclusion. He himself came out of the water and painted on the canvas his heart was filled with pain and depicted the sun drowning with rain like tears.

Taiho and dozens of others who did not dare to jump into the water and who died in the water were declared to be emasculated. Some people who fail feel grateful and some feel disappointed because they failed the exam.

The men and women were left with forty-two people from the entire examinee. Those in that place were silent. Enjoy the noise of the roaring waves and the birds passing over their heads.

The last seconds when they saw the end of the sun. The feeling was gone, they were not that weak anymore. Feelings of past suffering and memories of events that one has felt can make even a person like Levin weak for a moment.

"I'm sorry about today's mess, you passed two exams at once. Forty-two left, that's fine" Old man Jenskin welcomed these forty-two.

From above the cargo helicopter that flew parallel to the sky. The participants' eyes looked lethargic due to fatigue.

Even just a little bit of focus these people had left to listen to the white-bearded old man speaking in front of them.

"My name is Jenskin, I'm an elite military general glad to meet you."

"My name is Alexa, secretary general Jenskin." The lady with the jade between her eyebrows smiled amiably welcoming to everyone who had not previously gotten acquainted with her.

"You will soon face the next test, the third stage test" Secretary old man Jenskin explained.

"You please rest and do whatever you want and eat as much as you can in this helicopter."

Old man Jenskin smiled broadly at the sight of everyone in this place. They look so exhausted. There was no longer a word of welcome, they were invited to leave the helicopter's central hall.

"Nathan, Sanji, Theo what if we go around this helicopter, it looks like this place is huge." Mitsuya invited his three friends excitedly.

"We're both going around, they're both sleeping." Xernathan agreed to Mitsuya's invitation.

"All right.."

The two left behind two other friends. Theodorus and Sanji looked for a place to sleep.

"Are you sure you want to sleep?" Urino suddenly asked as Sanji and Theodorus had already grabbed the doorknob of one of the rooms.

"Why is that?" Sanji was not happy, he was already very tired to just make small talk like this.

"It's not clear that the second stage test might be on board this ship" Urino grinned widely when she saw Sanji's facial expression. As soon as Sanji heard his explanation, the boy immediately released his hand from the doorknob.

"What's the max of it?" Sanji bent his eyebrows.

"Can you hear me when that beautiful secretary says that we're about to face the third stage exam?"

"Aren't you aware that the woman with the jade on her head didn't say when the third stage exam started?" The grin on Urino's face grew wider, seeing the doubts of the two children.

"You could've missed the exam because you were resting, you should have thought."

"We'll accept your input, but we still need to stretch in the room." Theodore waved at Urino and pulled Sanji into the room.

'They must have been restless all night and had not had enough time to rest' Inner Urino said, looking at the two children who were consumed by his talk.

The exam tomorrow will be the same length as today. Lack of sleep will be fatal for ordinary children like them.

"Whaa.. Nathan the lights of the city if you look at it from space like this are so beautiful yeah, I think it's like jewelry." Mitsuya's eyes opened wide looking at the cities they passed through from above the sky.

Xernathan just a smile and his eyes glow. In his previous life Xernathan had not had time to enjoy something like this. If there was time to rest then he and his sister would really rest.

Today is really very tiring in the previous life as well as in the present life.

"Mitsuya why do you want to become a military elite?" Xernathan knows the answer. But he asked again.

Mitsuya stared at the night scenery from the helicopter glass while propping up his chin with his hands. "My father just wants me to be strong like him. I've been through a lot of torture from my own father"

"My father is a mercenary"

"My mother always fought because of my father's attitude like that. But as they continued to argue what my life would be like, I ran away from home" Mitsuya clenched his hands.

"Nathan, you know, no one wants his life to be ruled by someone else."

Xernathan wiped off Mitsuya's saliva that was spurting on his face. This friend of his looks very dislike the treatment of his father like that. Mitsuya was just an ordinary child who liked to play around despite the many terrible exercises he had been through all this time.

"I just want to have a good talk with my dad. I want it to make him happy. We all know that it is not easy to raise people according to our will.

If only my father would listen. I was even willing to give this Centuri state for him. I don't even hate him once I'm afraid my father, mother and sister are sad because I'm leaving home like this." The effects of diving in the magical southern sea should have been lost since the setting of the sun. But the same taste remains.

Xernathan could see Mitsuya's sullen eyes, telling of his helplessness.
