Chapter 69

As soon as everyone finished eating, Lith left with the excuse of needing to prepare the final details for his first Forgemaster lesson. The actual truth was that having a conversation with them, about anything but magic, made him want to rip his ears off.

- "Damn! Now I remember why back on Earth I never took a babysitter job, unless I was desperate for money. Kids are so annoying, always worried about what others think of them, obsessing themselves with the stupidest things." -

While he was walking toward his room, he noticed a group of four, one girl and three boys, that had pinned another girl in a corner. Before Lith could walk away, the bullying quickly escalated in a beating.

Lith never stopped walking, he just threw a glance of them, curling his upper lip in a disgusted expression.

- "Shouldn't we help her? Four against one is unfair." Solus asked.

"Life is unfair." Lith replied. "I don't know, nor I care for her. Besides, what could I do? Even if I saved her this time, as soon as I turn my back, they would beat her twice as hard for revenge.

If she is so stupid to prefer getting beaten instead of taking a Ballot, that's her problem. I don't plan on opening an idiot shelter." –
