The Saint Class Reincarnator
CHAPTER 10: A MEANING

I felt awkward leaving my father and the Director alone. The Director's expression was not good and in the meantime he was as terrified as being struck by a terrible terror. Yohan and I walked down the corridor to where the announcement poster was placed.

It's thrilling I'm not sure I can calm down at the moment because my legs are already feeling limp considering that I will see the results.

Yohan who had been silent next to me started opening her mouth.

“Daddy's behavior from earlier was strange. Like not the usual father when he was dealing with the Director's woman.”

It has a point. If he sensed there was such a suspicion that there was a secret between them, we as children were also curious. Yohan who was thinking hard next to me wanted to find something yet she ended up not getting anything and sighed.

“What do you think Al?”

“Hm? What?”

“About the Director's behavior when checking us out. Did you also feel something back then, like something was stinging when the Director touched you?”

Ah, about that. It's undeniable that this is a monitor error. I want to say that and apologize. But my situation does not allow it. So I quietly turned my attention and pretended not to know anything.

“Mhm, I don't know. It ended quickly so I don't really know.”

“... I see.” Yohan finally understood this and became silent again and ended her thinking by looking forward.

How long has it been? We were already in front of where the announcement was on display, now the atmosphere was not as crowded as the night market and there was no one around us other than me, Yohan, and...

I scan around and that's it, but I didn't expect it to be miscalculating. Not only was there me, but there was another man who was looking at the bulletin board as well, but it was not the exam results announcement section but the assessment and the Ranking.

I saw it, it felt weird like I'd seen it somewhere. As soon as I clearly remembered, it turned out that the man was the man who helped me find a way to get to Yohan's practice.

Uh! He looked at me...

At that moment his behavior became strange. He was sad when he saw his Ranking and when he realized my existence he became misbehaved and nervous. I bowed my head to her to act polite, because it seemed like she was a senior here.

However, he threw away his face and directly left this place with a brisk walk.

I don't know what's going on. But, somehow I felt offended and hated that type of person. Like he was moving away from society to socialize. I was polite.

Since it was none of my business and maybe I won't see him again, I ignored him.

Yohan had already seen the results first, while I missed out due to my focus on the others. Then Yohan's hand pulled the collar of my arm tight.

It was shocking and I spoke. “What's up?”

The movement of Yohan's lips trembled. “L-Look!”

With that I was curious about what he was pointing at, I also saw that. With a squint and with a look I scanned hundreds of names from the ground up in the results of the practice exam. Keep going and keep going up but I didn't manage to find it.

Lastly, my retina rose to the tip and managed to find what I wanted. That's Yohan's name!

— Rating 1 best. Participant No. 0344 - Yohan Raven.

I immediately saw Yohan's face, her countenance distorted with mixed feelings.

No, it's not done. I quickly scanned mine as well, the test results written to be Priest. My retina moves fast with madness, fast, fast and fast.

After a long journey through my results, I found my name as well. I closed my mouth with both of my hands unexpectedly.

— Rating 1 best. Participant No. 0303 Alvius Raven's.

My hand searched for Yohan's hand and clasped her hand tightly. We looked at each other there with our expressions mixed together with happy and sad smiles moved. We just scream.

“We succeeded!!”

“Oh! Oho! We can!!!”

We jump for joy by holding hands and hugging each other under this unbeatable joy. How not, we both succeeded on our first steps.

Many people around us noticed the hilarious behavior of these two brothers and could only guess the truth of this strange behavior.

***

Back in the room where Director and Felix were.

Dokdok!

After that Yohan and I returned in a state of great joy and excitement that could not be described anymore. And we're thinking of telling dad immediately. A moment after arriving we immediately sat down on the sofa, excitedly shaking the body of father.

Yohan who could not resist anymore exploded like a balloon.

I nodded to it as if I was the one who was proud of Yohan saying to dad. Then a few seconds had passed and father here did not respond. Yohan and I quickly regained consciousness and stopped whining happily as well stopping our smiles.

“Dad?” Yohan wonders. Why did he make such a dark face expression and look. He's never seen this before.

“My son... There's something you want to talk about.” his mouth is active, but his face is very casual and the depth can not be described clearly. I immediately let go of my hand and sat down slightly shifted away from it.

The first one to open my mouth was me.

“Dad...” heard my voice, father slowly turned his head and looked at me, then his gaze widened, he was shocked.

“Why does dad look tense?” he looked at me like he was looking at a monster, he was goosebumps. I know, and I don't stop looking at him straight and sharp with the gaze of the one who thinks only of madness.

“What Director said something that offended father?”

No, not just that. He still did not open his mouth. Even when I looked at the Director to be sure, he also gasped with surprise when he saw me.

“Is there anything that makes dad unhappy?”

It must be here, somewhere that only you know the truth and the truth.

... Otherwise, then since we arrived at the capital father would not be this wary even never.

“Tell dad, what makes you unhappy. If this place torments you mentally then.” I grin at the wide angle of my lips and raise my eyebrows. “I will gladly destroy this place to make you relieved again.”

“Alvius!” with that scream, I can understand. And, ah... It turned out to be true what the reason was that it made itself this way.

The atmosphere was indeed slightly stiffened, no, not just a little but unusually depressed and heavy to breathe. I silently looked at my father, right at his eyes that looked in pain. Why did his green eyes look to suffer like this world was trying to destroy him.

It made me unhappy and put on a face that wasn't really interested.

“Enough, don't say such a thing again.”

“Why? Aren't you glad that me and my brother passed the exam? Then what's the reason you took us to the capital? Just sightseeing? What just want ‘Passibility’, it fulfilled?”

The eyes of the father who saw me quivered hearing my absurdly sounding answer coming from the lips of the little boy. But, it was not wrong, on the contrary, those words were countless blades as if they were being instilled in one place on his body.

I sighed fretfully and irritatedly like there was steam floating in the air when I let out my breath.

“Dad was always like this when we arrived in the capital. I wanted to ask, but I didn't want to bother you for fear of offending you later. But, what? It seems like what I thought all along was true.” I secretly saw the Director there with displeasure.

“Daddy and Director's relationship when we're here. If this is true... Dad, if it's about Mom then don't say anything.”

“Al, how..”.

I got off the couch and interpreted what had been my annoyance all along, as long as I arrived at the capital there was not the slightest change when we left the village. All the same and continue like that.

It's only gotten worse since we lived in our new home. I always saw my father would wake up at night and sit alone in the living room, brooding, thinking hard, then crying to himself.

“I've guessed. Going to the city is the worst option. Not for my sake, not for the sake of brother Yohan, but for the sake of yourself.”

My father trembled at my words. He wanted to answer everything I had thrown at him in order to find an answer to this misunderstanding. But he could never find her. He was falling into despair.

“Instead of words ‘For kids’. Instead, it's ‘For dad’'s feelings. Dad's wound open again.”

“Al, the... Listen to my son..”.

I walk towards the door. I can't stand this, I want to go and get myself out of this place, I'm sure I can find something I can prove that my existence is not because I'm Alvius, but because I live and deserve to live it.

“Al, where are you going?” Yohan, right, she's my sister. He was asking, and I answered him without turning around.

“Sister should be by my father's side, I'll go to calm down.”

Maybe this is the best. When bad feelings are thrown in the right place without having to be involved in the cause. I was now too emotional and could not think clearly because the feeling of being betrayed was inside me.

If this is how I deal with these people, then I'm not sure I'll hold back.

I turned around just to say the last sentence I wanted to say.

“Padahan, we have promised to be the strength of each other in order to turn family sadness into unlimited happiness. Is it all just nonsense, dad?”

After that I actually left the room. Yohan tried to stop me loudly calling my name, but I ignored her. Dad was slumped there in a state of head that was pressed firmly with his hands. The director feels bad.

And me, an 8-year-old who doesn't reflect his age at all. Trying to decipher the world, where I came back to life.
