The Journey of the Genius Failed
26. The chat that offended Rouzen.

The news of Tiser Rouzen's disability and also the news of Rouzen coming out of the Aryan class spread quite quickly in Meiyan village. Even after the news circulated, the citizens became constantly discussing about the news. Until one week, finally the discussion about the news that happened to Rouzen also became quite eased.

Along with the easing of the discussion about the news that happened to Rouzen, at that time Rouzen was able to get out of the clinic and do activities normally.

“Fuih... I finally came out too.” said Rouzen who just came out of the clinic with a new look. Rouzen at this moment used the blindfold on his left eye, as his left eye was already blind. And in addition to the blindfold, Rouzen also covered his left eye with his long hair.

Besides Rouzen, there were some people who had just come out of the clinic as well. Redes, Quener and Heiren accompany Rouzen while being treated at the clinic.

After leaving the clinic, Rouzen became quite happy, as he was already tired of staying 2 weeks in the clinic.

“Ah...freshness.” Rouzen inhaled the air outside the clinic leisurely and happily.

But Redes and Quener instead expressed worry, because they already knew about the news about what happened to Rouzen and even knew about the news that became the discussion of the citizens. But the real reason they were worried was because there were some responses of the villagers, which due to that response would cause Rouzen to become offended.

“What is uncle, aunty?.” Rouzen asked the two of them, as they both had worried expressions.

“No, not nothing.” Redes answered Rouzen's question.

And apparently, Rouzen did not know about the news about what happened to him.

Because the answer Redes said was nothing, Rouzen was back to enjoy the air outside.

A little while later, the four of them finally walked home to Rouzen's house.

“See, he's out of the clinic apparently.”

“Oh yes, he's out turned out.” A few villagers chat when they see Rouzen already out of the Clinic. And some of the residents were chatting quietly so as not to be heard by Rouzen.

But as it turned out, Rouzen could still hear their chatter.

“What really happened while I was being treated?.” murmured Rouzen who was confused because he became the conversation of the villagers.

Even though Rouzen heard the citizens talking about him, Rouzen did not ask them (the citizens) or Redes and Quener about why he was the discussion of the citizens, but Rouzen did not ask them (the citizens), but Rouzen instead continued on his journey leisurely.

At one point, Rouzen heard a chat from the citizens discussing it, and the chatter made him a little offended and confused.

“Hey you see him, he became like that because of his own actions, you know.”

“Yes, I don't understand his way of thinking. Though he can actually be nothing like that if he can agree to the request of the person he is fighting. And also if he approves the request of the person he is fighting against, maybe the village party can get good information.” The villagers chat when they see Rouzen walking past him.

Upon hearing the villagers' chat, Rouzen becomes offended and asks Redes directly what really happened while he was being treated.

“Hey uncle, tell me, what happened while I was being treated? why do the residents discuss me with the discussion of not wearing?.” said Rouzen who is currently offended by the chat of villagers.

The concerns of Redes and Quener really happened (Rouzen was offended by the villagers' chatter).

“Well I'll tell you.”

Flashbacks.

After delivering Rouzen to the clinic for treatment, Redes, Bufan, Lowis and Yessie go to Derent's office to report on the mission.

In Derent's office.

“Mission to eradicate mountain bandits is done. But we get one victim in the mission, because by chance the students who run the mission meet a very strong opponent, namely the Yalar.” group, said Redes.

Meiyan village derent Hofei already knew about Rouzen's severe injuries due to the Yalar group. However Hofei still did not know how Rouzen could get hurt and how Rouzen could escape.

“Explain to me what really happened on that mission. Then explain also how Rouzen was seriously injured and how Rouzen was finally able to escape from the Yalar group. Because we already know that the strength of the Yalar group is very terrible? to the extent that the Yalar group became the target of 6 large villages.” said Hofei.

Then Bufan told me everything that happened on the mission that was run before. From the moment Rouzen tried to monitor the bandits in his base alone, then at the time Rouzen met the bandits who should have been dead, then by the time Rouzen learns the secret behind the dead bandits it can come back to life (which turns out to be being controlled), then at the time Rouzen fought with the person who controlled the real dead bandit (member of the Yalar group), and at the time Rouzen was given an offer to become a disciple of the members of the Yalar group that fought with him.

“He (Rouzen) was given an offer to become that person's student? continue how the answer?.” said Hofei who stopped the explanation from Bufan. Hofei was slightly surprised to hear that Rouzen was offered to become a disciple of the members of the Yalar group.

“Yes, Rouzen was offered to be his student because Rouzen has good abilities. But Rouzen's answer, he rejected the offer.” said Bufan.

Everyone who saw Hofei's attitude became confused.

“Eh?.” Bufan confusion.

“Wait for Derent, why are you acting as if you regret Rouzen's decision to reject that person's offer? Rouzen has made the right decision, right?.” Redes was confused by Hofei's attitude.

“Of course I regret that. Because if Rouzen becomes a disciple of that person, we the village party might be able to get information about the Yalar group who are now fugitives 6 big villages.” Hofei explained the reason he regretted Rouzen's decision.

“Only because of that?.” Redes was not out of thought with the reason that Hofei had said.

“Just you said!..” Hofei did not accept Redes' words. Hofei continued his words. “If until we get information about the Yalar group, it could help us a little to exterminate that fugitive group. Maybe even our village will also get a plus from other villages, because our village has received information about the Yalar.” group

Hearing the words from Hofei, everyone in Derent's office was not amazed by it, but everyone was not completely consumed by the words spoken by Hofei. Because Hofei still remains focused on his ambitions and does not think about others.

“I understand about it. But do you not think about what will happen to Rouzen, if he becomes a student of that person?.” said Redes.

“What will happen?. It is better to try first than to directly make a decision.” said Hofei.

“Are you not thinking about Rouzen's safety? and it is not impossible if later Rouzen was brainwashed by that person, which makes Rouzen instead become a member of the real Yalar group and become an attack on us.” Redes explained his opinion.

“But that's just your guess.” Said Hofei who was still stubborn.

Redes could only grit his teeth and hold back his emotions after hearing Hofei's remark.

But then Bufan spoke again.

“Actually if Rouzen accepts the person's request to be his student, the three of us will be killed by that person.” said Bufan who knew the real incident.

“What are you serious about?.” Hofei was slightly surprised when he heard Bufan's explanation.

“Iya I'm serious.”

“Alright then.” Hofei finally understood, although his small heart was still regretting Rouzen's decision.

Hofei continued his words. “Then what about the wound received by Rouzen? and also how could he escape?.”

Bufan also told about the wounds received by Rouzen, whose wounds Rouzen received because he saved the three of them who were about to be killed by members of the Yalar group. Then Bufan explained about how Rouzen was able to escape, which Rouzen escaped from that person was because of the strange skill possessed by Rouzen (the human pace of fire), which because of that skill can make members of the Yalar group become cornered.

“Very awful too huh that move. I just heard about that style.” said Hofei who was a little confused by the style Rouzen used.

“And because of that style also Rouzen became what it is now.” said Bufan.

“You mean Rouzen became unconscious as he is now because of the style he used?.” Hofei was surprised to hear that Rouzen became what he is today because of the skill he used.

“Yes, because as the move progressed, Rouzen several times cried out in pain. Until when teacher Redes came to help, Rouzen's style was finally ended and Rouzen was immediately unconscious.” said Bufan.

“So so yeah that happened. Well I decided that this mission was completed. So you can go home now. And this is the fee for the mission.” Hofei said while giving the mission fee.

To Rouzen's, Hofei entrusted him to the Redes.

—

One day after Redes and 3 of Rouzen's colleagues finished reporting about the mission previously run by them, suddenly there was a lot of conversation from villagers who said that Rouzen made a mistake in the mission he had run before. Rouzen was being selfish because he rejected the offer of being a disciple of the members of the Yalar group fighting against him, whereas if Rouzen accepted the offer, Rouzen would be able to help the village to get information about the Yalar group.

“What the fuck? why did the villagers find out that Rouzen had gotten an offer to become a disciple of the previous members of Yalar? and why do they say Rouzen was selfish and made a mistake? do they not know that Rouzen actually made the right decision?.” said Redes who was angry because he heard the conversation of villagers who said Rouzen made a mistake.

At this time, Redes was at his house and was accompanied by Quener.

“Is there anyone who spread incomplete news about what Rouzen did on the mission he ran earlier? so that the residents become like that?.” said Quener who suspects that there are people who spread the news about what Rouzen did in the mission he carried out before, but the news is incomplete, which makes the villagers misunderstand.

“Then I will find out who is the person who spread this news.” Redes said as he prepared to find the person who spread this news.
