Chapter 256 Afterwards
?
"How? How can he move this precisely?" As the fight was happening inside the class, those thoughts filled Emma's heart. She was someone that knew how Callius was at the beginning, as a child.
He was wimpy and grumpy, never smiling, always having a serious expression. And most importantly, he never liked fighting, thus resulting in him being weak.
Emma never liked such people. Since her childhood alone, in order to get the attention of her father, she always tried her best.
Be it training or studying. Even though she was not good at academics or mathematics, she tried her best. However, it was never enough. Whenever she wanted to have the attention of her father, she always saw he was with him.
Callius.
Even though he was weak. Even though he never trained… Even though she was there…. Austin was always with him…
Just because of that reason alone, Emma developed a dislike for individuals that didn't train and develop themselves but rather kept being lazy. She thought they didn't deserve any recognition. Since, in her eyes, Callius was such a kid.
Though if she had looked closer and more objectively, she would know her father was actually also spending time with her; however, as a child, this was missed from her eyes.
In a sense, most of the time, the conflicts between siblings would stem from this point….
However, her eyes were always on Callius at that time, not being able to judge correctly.
In the end, it all returned to the same saying.
The apples, on the other side, are always the sweetest.
In any case, just because of all those opinions about Callius that had taken root in her mind, she was constantly getting surprised.
Getting surprised at the achievements Callius was showing.
'First his magic… Now, this….' The precise move set that Callius had shown made her heart filled with a weird knot. As the fists landed on the young man that she had taken a liking over, the knot in her heart intensified.
Of course, who wouldn't get mad when the person they liked was getting beaten?
However, most of all, she felt complicated. She didn't know how she should have felt.
'There is no way he could reach such a mastery in just one lesson.' She thought as she knew the way Callius moved was too precise for a first-timer. 'He must have encountered a lot of situations while he was away.' As the thought filled her head, she lowered her gaze.
Day by day, the reasons for Emma to hate Callius were slowly diminishing, as she was no longer able to identify what was true or wrong…
*******
Everything was good, going into the way he wanted.
He was able to get whomever women he had wanted… He was able to live his life to the fullest in this new world….
He knew the future; he knew the people inside the work; he knew the ways to get stronger; he knew how to get the girls…
He had a system that gave him rewards as the more girls he slept with.
And most importantly, he was the main protagonist.
The person that the world revolved around….
He was such a person.
Blessed with the highest talent in the world, it was never hard for him to get stronger…. So he was able to feel the sensations he was never able to feel in his world.
Feeling the warmth of a woman…. Indulging in carnal desires….
But why?
Why was this happening to him? Why was he getting beaten? Why couldn't he win?
The pain assaulted his head as Arthur lay on the ground. Even though their ranks were limited to zero, the lingering pain of punches was still there.
His jaw hurt, and his head was ringing as he was spinning.
He could see everyone was looking at him with a mocking smile. Heck, some of them were looking down on him.
He thought he was going to win easily since he knew Callius was a minor villain in the game, even the things had changed.
The system issued him a quest, saying if he won, his affection rate for Emma would increase.
He thought it was peace of cake.
How could he lose, right?
However, none of what he expected happened.
He was beaten brutally. He couldn't even put up a front.
In the end, he was simply beaten. And even though he was healed, it was his own self-esteem that was the thing that got damaged the most… Though only the future would show how he would approach things….
After all, he was someone that only knew how to use his lower head, not the upper one….
******
As the classes reached their end, I left the classroom and went to my own dormitory.
I had learned simply one thing from today's confrontation.
'Arthur is a transmigrator.'
In his own words, he referred to himself as the protagonist. It was clear that he must have come from Earth, as Arthur's character would not have suddenly considered himself the main character without reason, normally.
'However, he is an idiot.' That was all I could say, seeing the display he had shown at that time. If you know the ways to get stronger, those lost treasures that were waiting to be explored. If you are not taking advantage of that knowledge knowing the future, then you are basically dumb. That's it.
'But, still. That means there is an unknown variable that I needed to take care of.' I thought.
In a sense, having a transmigrator does not necessarily mean that said person will rule the world. It might have some negative effects as well.
For instance, in the first moments of my merging of souls, I was not able to comprehend whether this world was real or not, and I treated it slightly like a game.
Until I had tasted defeat, I was able to see that this world was a real world that different people lived in, not some sort of NPCs.
This might also be the same for Arthur. If he has the memory of some person from Earth, or he was such a person, then there is a high probability that he was perceiving this world as a game and treating it in such a way.
Since he must have never tasted defeat in his life.
I know that because I played the game. The hard part of the game is yet to start. Up to this point, it was only a tutorial and some snu-snu scenes, after all…
Just like that, I reached my room and decided to train for a second…
-----------------------A/N-----------------------
I hope I made it a bit clear for the reason why Emma disliked Callius as a child. I really don't hate Emma, and I think she was also a victim of parents.
You will see that in the future as well. Hope you liked the chapters. Two more in on the way.
