"Where… Where am I?"

Van turned his head to look around, he was currently in some kind of house It was small and unfamiliar, but still contained a warmth that made his heart feel welcomed

"Hm…", when his vision started to darken and he felt hiht that he would dreaed-soldiers and the giant men It has been a while since he had it

But this… The brightness was enough for hihtly cover his face

"Mother, I got a job!"

"!!!", Van quickly turned around as a loud piercing noise echoed into his ears, faint, but lasting

"That…", Van felt his throat dry up as soon as he saw a familiar face, it was Desmond The very first one which life he took His eyes felt unwilling to look at Desmond as he looked to the side Are these Des shown to him?

"A job?"

Van then heard another voice-- a woman And as soon as her voice entered Van's ears, an old wo on a chair

"But I thought you wanted to attend the Acadeh they were far away

"Yes!", Desmond smiled as he lifted hismy stay at the Academy!"

"W… what? What kind of job is that?", Deso

"I just need to babysit so to the academy!", Des near his ears, "Apparently there are others, but the pay is still good Good enough that you won't have to work anymore!"

"This is… the arena?"

This is where Gerald and his group of friends… no, bodyguards ganged up on him and beat hi

A Mage-type student heated up the stage, which caused Van to jump, only for him to land on his arms and rip off his skin froe, only for Gerald to punch hi the relics he collected, causing the sharp glass to get in his eyes

"How… did I even live?", Van's hand trerew He then saw Des, and his eyes not wanting to see the tor done to Van

"", Van could not help but furrow his eyebrows as he saw the reluctance and unwillingness in Des to waver as a heavy weight started to fill his chest
