109 Changes (2/2)

Back then...He said something similar to me.

I see why you chose this guy as the captain of Rizing...He's just like you...A guy who can inspire everyone around him. He also has a friendly aura just like you around him.

Bob smiles.

”Hey, Henry...Thank you!” Bob says to me. I smile back at him. ”No need to thank me, we are in the same squad after all.” I say to him with a smile.

Caster...Don't you dare worry...Even if you have gone, I will always be behind this boy, protecting him until the day I die.

Urika calmed down after a while.

Bob and I reported the humanoid to the council and how the general was creating it. The council quickly took action against him.

”Congratulations, you did well.” Vasteria says to me as I make out of the council room. ”Your first mission and you weren't bad at all. It seems you also got a new weapon.” Vasteria says to me. I nod. ”Yip!” I say with a grin.

”It seems that you have learnt to smile and not always have that gloomy cold face.” Vasteria says to me. I didn't realise it...Was I smiling? It's natural instinct...

”Your reports from Caster said that you were an emotionless kind-hearted fool. I guess he was wrong, you have cried, gotten angry and now you smiled...You aren't emotionless.” Vasteria says to me. It struck to me...

Before I came to Rodeo...I never had any such emotions...And now...

Vasteria chuckled. ”You smiled too.” I say to Vasteria. ”I know I did because I am happy.” She says to me. ”After all...You are such a different person from the others around you. Your aura is so much different than all the other people I have met.” She continues as she walks past me.

”Remember this Henry, doesn't matter who it is, you will always bring a smile on their face.” Vasteria said to me as she left. What's with her? She seems happier than usual.

I can't take it that Vasteria was actually good to me.

I think about it all day.

Next day, in the class,

”We have a new member joining our class as our class had 1 spot empty.” Vasteria says.

I look at the door open.

”Wait a minute...”

The new member is...

”Is that Urika?” I am surprised that she is here.

”URIKA?!!!!” Bob seems to be surprised but that reaction seems to be too much.
