Runaway Alpha

I wonder how many days have passed by since I started to have the chance to get out of my bed.

Lucky for me, my parents believe in my words after I said that it doesn’t hurt as it looks like.

But I covered it with a cloth that are blessed by the moon.

It might sound strange but the cloth that they put in my skin was a cloth that they had offered their prayers with.

It is said that it is a remarkable item that can only be given to those who are worthy, now I feel like I owe them so much even though I am not sure what kind of changes it would make if I just cover it with the normal clothes.

“Hello Emrick are you doing alright?”

It was my neighborhood who asked it to me as he saw me walking out of the house

I nodded my head in reply as I wanted them to know that I am doing well

It is not that I am close with those people but then the one who greeted me just now is a friend of my parents. I should act nicely to them because just like what my father said, if you are given a gratitude… give it back to them.

Somehow feel like things started to be the same as like what it always been. I went back to the place where I have to go. Well unluckily it is not the hole of the forbidden rule but the classroom on where Lhana and I are taught by a certain professor.

Indeed it is a day that we will take an exam. Even though I haven’t really read all the things that he had given to us. Yes we did talked about all of it but it is not as if I have taken a note of it.

I slightly chuckled as I feel like I am acting all so mighty even though I’m not sure whether I can answer all of those questions in the tests

If he didn’t add up any weird things maybe I can ace it but if he had things that even the others can answer… maybe it would be impossible for me to ace it.

Now that you think about it my feet seems to be working well. Just as I thought, this isn’t something that will make me be disabled.

I can still hear how my mother reminds me to be careful in my steps as if I am some little kid who just learned how to walk

It is also satisfying to see how my two little siblings act as if they would lose me whenever they let their eyes of me.

Thankfully my father explained everything as well as my mother. The two of them understand it to well but still, tht doesn’t change the fact that they still act wary and cautios as if they are some caretaker being asked to look after me. Did they somehow forget that it is i who is the older among us?

I can’t help but smile a little when I hear hear those voices of them on my mind.

It’s not that they are talking to me at this moment but then I can clearly recall how their voices sounds

“Emrick”

I hear someone calling my name and they say look at the direction from where that voice came from and realized that it is Lhana who was running towards me

She soon stopped as she filled the gap between us

“Yo”

I replied shortly as I don’t know what to say because it’s not that we are talking that much in the first place.

Then I was surprised when I remember all those talking we had when we are traveling and feel like I somehow said something wrong. Maybe we are talking… sometimes… but… well never mind it

“How was your- I mean how are you”

“Good”

A shortly replied to her as we walked toward the direction of the house our professor

Now that I remember it, I should thank her for helping me last time since she helped me plenty

“Lhana”

I slightly called her name which make her look at me

“Yes? what is it”

“Thanks”

I shortly replied as I look back at the pattern is the father in front of me

I heard her slightly giggled as she heard what I said. Nowe I wanted to take back my words because it feels like she would tease me every time she had a chance to

I let out a annoyed sigh as we walk our way

We soon arrived at the place and the professor was already waiting for us

It is one of the privileges we had because we have different teaching it teachings to learn compared to those who are in the same issues us

Even if it seems like this man is like a fraud, he is truly a genius who is known to have developed many things that are useful in our village

Even though he always act as if he is turning crazy we can’t help but say that his teachings are truly admirable I mean whenever he said it you can understand it so well

It is not that I am praising him but he is a fine teacher if I may say

We sat in the seat that are designated for us and as soon as I did, he let out a small gasp as he saw the key that are hanging on my neck

Using the stick on his hand he checked whether the key is the same as what he thought it is and to his surprise he let out a big green as if he had win a lottery

“My, my, my, look at this little kid~ so you are the reason why the elder asked for one more copy of the key for that exclusive chamber”

The teacher in front of me smiled which makes Lhana curious. She looked at me with the question in look

“Key? What is it? I mean Emrick… are you hiding something from me?”

She slightly narrowed her eyes as she frowned her forehead while crossing her arms. Why do I feel like I did something wrong even if it is not my obligation to tell her that the elders have given me the key to the secret chamber of the library

“Yes it is the key that the elders had given to me last time”

“A key to what? wait a minute.. what do you mean… oh my gosh you’re holding the key of the exclusive chamber in the library??!”

She gasped in realization as she saw the whole image of the key that is hanging on my neck

“Bingo”
