The World We Do Not Know 75 What Is Life - 03

The mother goes back to the crowd while eyeing Faust and Bella.

*"They don't care about me."* Faust pulls his s.h.i.+rt up and arranges his backpack before walking away with a murky face.

"Really! I wish it was this kid who died in place of Gus." The mother yells as Faust is leaving.

"Please! You cannot say that to a kid." Clara tries to intervene but the mother of the bully doesn't heed her advice

"What will happen? He is an orphan anyway, n.o.body would stand up for him nor take him in. Talentless trash." The mother goes on.

"Ahito! Are you okay my kid?" The woman goes back to check on his kid.

"Yes Mom! I'm okay!" Ahito says but his eyes are glaring at Bella.

*"d.a.m.n dog! How can you bark at my mom without respecting her."* He thinks to himself.

For the next few weeks, Faust is left alone by the bullies. For things to settle down, before they get back at him.

"Do you know that you need to pay the fee? Or you cannot come to school! I know it's hard on you since your grandpa has died… but we cannot let you study for free, there shouldn't be any partiality shown among students." The head of the school explains Faust with a rather unpleasant face. She is sitting on a luxurious chair befitting of a Queen.

Her face expressed her despise for Faust, not because of any personal grudge, but because of the fact that he has no money. It's as if she respects people only based on their stature. Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click for visiting.

Every item or the decorated artifacts in her room are worth a fortune. Some are even made of Jade.

Faust just bows his head down as he has accepted the norms, his eyes are encircled by dark circles and he has become more skinny! As if he has been Malnutritioned. Without uttering a word, he leaves the room and the school for the day..

"Not on the chair! Sit down." On his way back home, Faust stops at Yang's house. He wanted to ask Yang who is like the big brother of Gus to help with his issue in school.

As he is about to rest on a chair, Yang tells him to sit on the ground instead. As if the people of less strature than him are not allowed to sit on a chair in front of him.

'Belittled' is the only word that is running in his head. He tells Yang, the reason that he came to seek their help.

"I have no obligations to help you, and to give you that huge amount is too risky." Yang replies, he doesn't even look Faust in the eyes while talking.

"I'm not running a charity here! Lending a helping hand to every indigent that come to my house. And  you can just give up on studying, you have no spiritual power, you are not cut out for this." Before Faust could say something else, Yang intervenes to let Faust know that he is not going to involve in any issues regarding him.

Faust just looked soul-less, he got up on his wobbling feet, worrying that he might lose his footing and collapse. He walks while his eyes are wandering on the ground, trying to comprehend every tile he is walking on.

Everything Yang spoke took him by surprise, he no longer know whom to rely upon. Never felt so lonely. 

He left with all hope lost, feeling helpless, not being able to do anything. Without knowing the reason for being disliked by everyone in his village.

Just a month ago, he was the most loving, very talented and considered a genius. His world flipped all of a sudden and his feelings twisted.

He reaches home while feeling mild annoyance, hurt. Thinking that he is being hated for the things he never did.

"You are here?" To his surprise, Clara is waiting outside his door holding her hands before her thighs.

"Do you- Do you have money to pay the fee?"

-

"I figured, don't think that I'm doing this with pity but. I will pay the fees." Clara concludes the solution, filling the void of Faust's silence that manifested his unspoken queries.

Faust still looks to be in a puzzle, he could not believe his ears at first. But then-"Of Course not for free. You need to do something in return." She inferred with a smile.

"W-what do you want me to do?"

"Heh! Come with me" she came closer to hold his hand and took him into the village.
