Chapter 409 - Epilogue 2 (2/2)
”Thanks, auntie, everyone mommy will be going to work now. So all of you need to be good children and listen to Nana Anita.”
”YES!” The three responded in unison. After thanking Anita one more time, and kissing her children goodbye Rachel immediately left.
...
”Aneki, look at this!” Once Rachel was gone, Randolph suddenly created a block of ice. Sigmund was surprised to see this. Usually, children of the new generation would gain access to their abilities when they reached nine to ten years old. But Randolph was able to do it a year earlier.
”Awesome right! Now I have the same ability as Kaa-san. Even nee-san can use the same ability as Kaa-chan.”
To show Sigmund that Randolph was telling the truth, Amelia summoned a ball of flame on her fingertips. Hime happily clapped her hands as she watched her two older siblings showing their new abilities. She then looked at Sigmund with sparkling eyes.
”Sigmund nii-chan, show me your ability! I'm sure it's going to be awesome!”
”I want to see as well Aneki.” Amelia nodded her head agreeing with Randolph's statement.
Seeing all the attention was on him, Sigmund couldn't handle it and ran away. The three Samarita siblings looked bewildered by Randolph's sudden escape. Anita who was watching the whole situation could only sigh. She didn't plan on following her son since she wanted her ten-year-old son to figure things about his own feelings by himself.
As the son of Lyner Resteti, this was a trial he needed to overcome by himself.
...
A few days later Sigmund was still being teased at school, and his usually smiling face could no longer be seen. Anita really wanted to comfort her son, but this was something she believed Sigmund needed to overcome by himself. Still, it should be alright to help him out a bit.
”Sigmund I made your favorite, buffalo wings!”
”Oh, thanks, mom,” Sigmund responded with less enthusiasm than Anita expected.
...
The following day while Sigmund was heading home from school he took a detour and arrived in front of a statue. This particular statue was something he used to love seeing, but nowadays he had complicated feelings about it that he couldn't understand. This was the statue of his late father Lyner Resteti.
Sigmund looked at the statue that practically radiated pride and punched it.
'Why?! Why am I so weak! Why am I different from everybody else!' Sigmund was irritated when he found out that he was the weakest person in the class. Even the other unchanged like him were way stronger than him. He used to be the strongest in class but now everyone, even the unchanged were mocking him.
Sigmund then looked up at his father's statue and gnashed his teeth. 'If you're able to become the strongest, that would mean I can do it too! I am after all the son of the hero!'
It was at that very moment Sigmund vowed to himself that he would become stronger than anyone else.
