32 Stupid Or Genius? (1/2)
”Nothing grandpa, I'm fine” Faust says with a smile on his face trying to cheer up his grandpa with the best smile he got.
Faust comes over to Bella and try to hold her, to which Bella doesn't agree. She just licks Faust's hand and goes inside the house slowly. As if it's her way of saying she lost her trust in him and just licks his hands so Faust doesn't completely gets heartbroken. Its as if a way of saying we are not siblings anymore but just friends who care about one another's feelings and happiness.
Gus realizing the way Bella acted, comes and holds Faust in his chest. ” let's go inside, grandpa.” Faust calmly tells Gus as if he is avoiding any hugs or love from Gus as he still feels he is responsible for everything that happened and he thinks he is being hated by his family too now.
As soon as Gus enters inside the house, he sees his house has changed drastically. The wall paper on the pillar comes off at some spots as the result of countless kicks Faust have done and the floor too seems to has multiple places that have been broken and renewed with pieces of planks placed on top of the broken floor. Gus really saw through the amount of hard work Faust has put in and so did the people from hospital, who came to accompany Gus to his house.
”Is the spar with Tim tomorrow grandpa? I'm all ready for it ” Faust says to Gus as Gus is observing the shape the house is in thoughtfully.
”Faust, let's not do any sparring, you barely look alive to me. Let's not do this for a while.” Gus worriedly tells Faust as he couldn't bear watching his skinny grandson take another beating from Tim as Faust clearly looks like a malnourished boy and he seemed to be lacking sleep and Gus can definitely tell that Faust has been completely taken over by depression.

”if I cannot prove myself now, I will never be able to return to my normal self anymore.” Faust replies with determination, ignoring the despair in his grandfather's look. He wanted to really take this as an opportunity to vent out all his anger and sadness that he has been locking up inside and he is all set for the spar no matter what.
*On the day of sparring*
Faust seems to be searching the wardrobe restlessly for something. ”Grandpa! Where is my cape I used to play superhero with? I'm not able to find it.” Faust asks Gus while his head ducked into the wardrobe.
”Huh? Why do you need the cape Fausty? We are going to a spar with Tim not to play heroes.” Gus seems to be puzzled, this kid just said yesterday that he is serious about getting strong and moving on. So what took over his head to be searching for a cape now?
”Oh I found it... Heh heh heh. I did not use this cape all these days while training... If only I did I would have been more strong, heh heh heh.” Faust says to himself while laughing with an evil laugh.
Gus is jaw dropped listening to Faust... Is this kid really grown up? What's he talking about? Gus is blown out of his worries. Maybe Faust is Faust after all by thought and continued.
Faust did not stop there, while leaving the house with Gus, he took the thread with two small bells from the neck of Bella and wears it around his neck. Like it was a charm or maybe he was preparing himself for a sacrificial activity !
Bella is giving a rather displeased look while pouts and looks away but Faust just smiled and moved on.
”Faust! That is Bella's collar replacement... What are you doing?” Gus is getting tired of how Faust is behaving. He really wanted to give Faust a good beat up and put some seriousness in his head.
”This is good luck charm grandpa, just watch. I will beat Tim with the lucky cape and lucky bells.”
Gus gave up on Faust at this time when he wears a cope around his neck and wears the thread with bells that made sound for every step he took .
Yang invites Gus and Faust to the place to test the capabilities of him after he is immersed in training for 6 weeks.
The training grounds of Yang are below the ground level in Yang's place, the floor is made up of concrete and tiles which seemed to be spread out to four corners to form a rectangle ground totally for the purpose of practicing hard blows and free falls with a one feet small Dias with two chairs in the middle for Yang and Gus to sit and observe the spar.
”Oh hello.. Fa-Faust!” Yang is caught off guard seeing Faust. First his in natural way of dressing and then his very gloomy face, his body muscles looks like they're twitching and his knuckles are painted in red.
”Faust!! What is wrong with you Bo....” Tim says while he runs towards Faust to treat his wounds, but was interrupted by Yang who asked Tim to go back to his position.
Yang realizes that Faust wants to change himself and his coward heart by working hard and so he did not pity Faust or show him mercy, rather than that Yang showed his respect to Faust.
