Unemployed Son-in-law's Rights: The Book of the Dragon Killer
Diego 3 School

The sun continued to creep toward the horizon as Diego walked out the school door, his steps heavy after a difficult day. There were no boisterous sounds in the school hallway anymore, except for Diego's footsteps that sounded like a heart full of disappointment.

However, outside the door of the school, he finds Ali, who is already waiting for him patiently. Ali looked calm with a smile on his face, showing wisdom and calmness.

"You!"

Diego couldn't help but blame Ali for all the hardships he endured today. In a frustrated tone, he began to hurl all his grievances at Ali, sharing all the bad events that had happened to him. He calls the distractions, taunts, and unlucky fate that haunts him at school.

"Because of you, I'm having bad luck! If it wasn't for you I could still sleep at home! If it wasn't for you I could still take a shower in peace! If it wasn't for you I could still eat my lunch!"

Ali just nodded with a smile. His expression showed deep understanding. He knew how hard the day was for Diego, there was no worry or disapproval in his smile.

"Diego" said Ali softly, "Today may be hard for you, but believe me, tomorrow could be better. We all face obstacles and trials in life, but what matters is how we respond."

Diego looked at Ali, trying to understand what he meant. No, Diego doesn't understand, his anger is mounting.

"Shut up!"

One punch, two punches, three hits Ali got. It was not Lai who was in pain, even Diego who grimaced holding his hand.

"Is that all you're capable of?" Ali's words earned him an extra blow from Diego, "if it was just this, how would you blame me? Useless, lazy, timid, weak!"

"I am weak!" Screeched Diego. He wanted to run, but Ali easily caught him.

"Hear my words! If you hear that from the kids who bother you, fight them with all their might."

Diego thrashing.

"Because when you fight them, you won't believe what happened!"

"Right, they'll kill me soon."

"No, Diego. You're gonna win. They will not be helpless before you."

"Only in a dream!"

"I'm serious!" Said Ali, he snapped at Diego until his whole bone seemed to shake. "Listen to me! We go home now, you won't sleep until you can beat them!"

"What do you mean?" ask Diego in fear.

Ali answered wisely, "Today may be difficult, but let's face it with our heads held high. We cannot control what others do or say, but we can control how we respond. Don't let them affect who we are. Be stronger, wiser, and move on. Tomorrow is your chance to avenge them!"

"Your words are good, but they won't change anything!" Deny Diego's back.

"Oh, huh?"

Brakes...

The ground around Ali's feet cracked. Diego couldn't believe what he saw. "You can't do this, but you can beat them. I promise."

Seeing the reality that was happening, Diego pondered over the words, feeling a new spirit emerging within him. "There is a chance to be free from this hell!" Inner Diego. He realizes that he is not alone in his struggle, that Ali is beside him.

With Ali by his side, Diego knew that nothing would bother him anymore.

As they arrive home, Ali throws Diego a new gym shirt. "Wear that. I will teach you some things that will make you no longer be bothered by them" Ali said firmly.

Diego was a little confused by Ali's words. Previously, he had thought that Ali would directly face them with physical strength, but it seemed like there was something different this time.

"Why should I wear this?"

"You don't think I hit them right?" Ali caught the doubt in Diego's face. "Huft, I've guessed. I'll give you some leads."

Ali taught Diego some of the moves in the dragon-killing book. These movements not only rely on physical strength, but also teach Diego to use the power of nature and the energy around him. Ali explains how to focus attention, control breathing, and incorporate the forces of nature into every movement.

The night passed with intense training. Ali coached Diego firmly and hard, fixing every mistake he made. Diego felt his muscles stiff and tired, but he did not give up.

"I can't afford it!" He lay down, with a roaring breath. "It's worse than hell!"

"Nothing instant Diego. Let's wake!"

"I'd better not go to school, or just change schools."

"Then if you get beat up at your new school, you're gonna go out again? Get up or I'll beat you up!" Threat Ali.

Diego imagines a crack in his school. He immediately returned to the position of the horses. Just like what's in the dragon slayer book.

Despite making frequent mistakes and being yelled at by Ali, Diego does not stop because of the horror that has been planted in his head. He now fears Ali more than Bobby and his friends.

Ali began to slowly lead Diego's movement. Ordered him to catch his breath and enjoy the night air. The night air is not good, but with a different way of breathing, it changes everything. Including the bad ones.

Diego followed Ali's orders. He did not have a good physique, but somehow Diego's body was a little more upright. No more slouching. He began to make a punch movement, a blow that Diego never realized was harder than the previous punch. The more he made the same move, the stronger Diego's punch was as well.

As time went on, Diego began to feel a significant change in his abilities. His body became lighter and agile, his movements becoming more steady and powerful. He begins to master the movements taught by Ali, and his confidence begins to grow.

The next morning, Diego felt ready to return to school. He was wearing a sports shirt given by Ali. With Ali as her mentor, she feels confident that she can deal with it better.

"What are you doing?" Said Ali behind the couch.

"Go to school."

"With that shirt? You didn't hit your head last night?"

"No. Head's secure. I'm wearing the clothes you gave me because these clothes seem to give me strength."

"This kid!" Ali scratched his neck, annoyed. "It's not because of the clothes you're wearing. But trust yourself more in your abilities!" Shouted Ali so loudly.

When Diego arrives at school, he feels the stares and taunts no longer affect him as much as they did before. He has found strength in himself and has Ali as a strong supporter. He walked with steady steps, emitting an aura of newly discovered confidence.

The students who had previously bothered him were astonished at this change.
