The Saint Class Reincarnator
CHAPTER 16: THE CURSE IS ALIVE (2)

“I didn't say that with bad intentions or with my feelings towards seniors. It is only from the visible factor. Senior energy looks like it in my eyes so I apologize for being disrespectful.”

“No, you are right. As a descendant of my family this curse is lodged in my body. Does not affect age, because every second this curse will thicken and enlarge. Until it finally exploded.”

Heros noticed me he explained a little about her. She felt heavy when saying it, I also didn't mean to suppress her yet it didn't seem like she had a problem with me hearing it.

“Arti exploded not like an energy explosion. It means sooner or later I will go crazy and go berserk like a monster. No one can stop it, there is only one way to it..”.

Heros stopped there, he said nothing after that. He squeezed both his hands together and he wanted to see how I reacted because there was no response at all.

I think I made a big mistake.

Problems like this should not be revealed to anyone. But, hearing the case that attacked him was a sign that many knew this truth. I still feel bad for hearing it.

I finally opened my mouth, my voice slightly pressed inward.

“Then why senior, it's not your fault. At least don't put on the look on my face I'll hate you.”

He could not hide his expression in front of me. He's like a little dog I'm going to throw away knowing he's sick. Or it was me....

No, after a long time thinking about the exact words how to make him calm from the pressure. It shouldn't be my job. Because of my pity I fell into it.

“For me it doesn't matter whether that person has a curse or not. Just remember what I said. Senior doesn't live twice and this is your life, it doesn't matter what people think. Stay alive and survive despite the weight.” I smile and nod lightly. “If there is anything I can help you with, then I will help you as much as I can.”

It felt like the darkness within him was slowly being shone. A blackish lump turned into a streak of black dots like dripping ink. It was as if light had entered into a part of him.

Heros cried without any sign of sudden.

“Senior..?!”

“Eh? Why me..”

He was not aware that tears had run down his face, trying to wipe them all away but could not be stopped.

Then she covered her face because it looked embarrassing.

“.... Sorry, this... No one ever told me that. So then... Those who approach me fear that this curse will rub off on them.”

That is of course, if viewed from the point of view of social society then that is what they will think, not looking at who is affected by the curse.

The curse is not a plague nor is it contagious. If people think differently, that's the truth. So, Heros had no choice but to accept it.

“Senior just has to get stronger. Stronger than now. If senior becomes a feared figure then there will be no one who dares to make fun of you again.”

“...”

“Just think about what it's like to sharpen a sharper sword to be very sharp than others. If the person who thinks the senior curse is a terrible disease. Then I will be the first to say ‘Not what’, even to senior curse.”

Emotional outbursts become more dramatic when he hears sentences he has never heard. Heros knew the meaning of the word bad and never once taught the meaning of the word a sincere kindness. For him most people would curse him for his kindness and never get sincerity.

Nowow. In front of him he found his light.

The younger son smiled by showing his white teeth.

“Al!”

There was someone shouting from behind the building that came running. Heros does not know who he is but when seen up close and getting closer to his appearance, the man is similar to his light.

“Hyung, what's up?”

I saw Yohan come in her breathless state like a marathon run. I just guessed from her sweat covered it seemed like she was looking for me to exhaustion.

“We need to talk..”.

Yohan withdrew my hand and her eyes looked towards Heros, like suspecting something.

“Sure..” I think it's weird for Yohan. I spoke to Heros, “Senior then we will talk again another time. Don't forget my advice and stay strong.”

“... Fine.” Heros smiled gently at me and said goodbye.

Then I followed where Yohan took me away from Heros. It seemed like he was in a bad state, sometimes if he lost his composure then he could not be optimistic anymore.

I spoke seriously when he never stopped walking pulling me. “Hyung, say what is it?”

Yohan turned to look at me with a frown on her forehead which made her look very angry.

“Al, why are you close to that person?”

Hearing him speak when his voice sounded so sarcastic I scowled in annoyance.

“The guy? Hyung, I won't play with anyone I don't know, the senior is named Heros.”

“I don't care what his name is!”

Yohan actually blew up her sudden anger.

“Hyung, you heard rumors about it not.”

A strong sigh rang out from Yohan's mouth, she rubbed her hair firmly upwards. “So you already know, if you know then why—”

“Hyung, I don't care. Who I'm close to or even if I'm friends with monsters even if I don't care. This world has gone crazy, so what's wrong befriend senior Heros.”

I pulled back my hand which he clutched firmly.

“You're making a little bit of Hyung, friendship is not seen from the point of view of others but how we ourselves judge. And although the rumors are true, the curse cannot be contagious nor bring bad luck.”

Because I hate the most justice and the rights of that person as if restricted. Is it right to isolate differences when the world is already in chaos?

Heros was not that ordinary person that I knew from the monitor, but I sincerely befriended the person like him because of feeling pity that he seemed to be exiled alone just because of a curse. Then what about me?

My mind went blank on the fact that I was actually a reincarnator and if Yohan knew it would she also look me one eye?

“Don't say bad things about people we don't even know, especially seniors. I'm not defending or taking sides, it's just that this is about right and wrong.”

Capturing his entire speech Yohan felt that it was true. He also did not want to believe the rumors. However, he had been lured by something while he was training.

“What do you see, the Saint is close to that damned bastard. Wouldn't Saint be cursed later too.”

“Hu... Just thinking about it gives me goosebumps.”

Hearing things he couldn't believe made him lower his defenses, let alone that about his family. He's going to be unsettled.

Then he stuck his sword firmly on the training puppet in front of him and ran in search of his sister.

After that he finally understood, that he should not behave like this especially in front of his sister.

“I'm sorry.”

I didn't mean to make him feel guilty.

And also this is something that we should not both be bothered about.

“Not what.”

Yohan's hand grabbed my hand gently. “You're still mad?”

“No. I'm fine, I know Hyung is just worried about me. I understand.”

We are brothers, problems like this if continued will get worse. It's just this problem, what if other and bigger problems are going to be debated.

I didn't want to think about it, but I became unstable and unsettled because of the overflowing emotions in my father.

“Actually there is something else I want to say.”

“... Mhm, what?”

Yohan looked hesitant for a moment, then she put on a serious face and spoke.

“I heard. That Viscount Atarasia met father.”

“What?”

Atarasia Viscount. The names of my grandfather and Yohan. He was also the father of our mother.

Hearing his name made the blood inside my body boil hot and my irises glow.

What did that man do to see Dad?
