《Honest Way of Living》Being followed
Advertisement
When they arrive at the cafeteria, Asfa shows Olivia around since this is her first time here. Asfa looked at Olivia, she looked overly excited. "Is it her first time doing thing like this?"
While pointing his finger toward the only worker here, " We can get our free meal there. Luckily, there are few boxes left." She immediately runs to the workers for those meal boxes.
Olivia had a few chats with the worker there. She wanted to give some credit, but the worker refused to take any credits. So instead, she was going to give the worker extra 100 credits because she thought it was not enough! Asfa frowned.
"She needs to learn some common sense.."
Olivia hands over the lunch box to Asfa.
Olivia : Sir, why did the worker refuse the credits I gave just now. Is it not enough?
Asfa : Forget it, you did fine haih. Let's go back to the hall now.
They walked for a few minutes and reached the hall. Olivia opened her lunch box for the first time. She looks so happy while eating the meal. Asfa completed his meal before Olivia, he has been a fast eater since he doesn't have much time to waste. So he packed the empty lunch box and threw it into the trash can in the corner of the class.
Asfa would rather be alone right now to train, but ain't no way he got the heart to chase her away. At least he doesn't have to waste time chit-chatting with her.
Asfa : How was the food? Is it good enough? You can always get better food from the elites cafeteria.
Olivia : No no no sir. There is nothing wrong with the food, it feels comfortable to eat something different than usual. I don't even know the name of the food that I just ate but I believe it should be fine since you recommended it.
Sigh.. I never recommended it to you.

Asfa : Glad that you like it. Take your time to digest before you start practising. I am going to train until 3.00 p.m and leave. So you have more than an hour to do your thing here.
Asfa immediately finds a space in the other hall corner to do his physical training. He prefers to do it without the help of machines provided by the college since he hasn't got much time to plan a routine for it.
Olivia sat down for 5 minutes and she started to do a simple warm-up before she started practising. After that, both of them kept practising until 3.00 p.m. Asfa signalled Olivia to let her know that it was already time to leave.
While waiting for Olivia to leave the hall, Asfa has to ensure everything inside is just like the morning. Olivia left the hall and waited for Asfa. He went to the door to close it and locked it with the card key. Asfa can't wait to be alone!
Asfa : I believed you lived here in the Capital. Be careful on your way back.
Olivia : Urm sir, can you walk with me to the front gate?
Asfa : ..... Okay, but just this time. I don't want people to start gossiping about this later.
Olivia : Why would they do that?
Asfa starts walking and leads Olivia toward the front gate. He couldn't and won't answer the last question she asked. Is she this dense?
Gladly, Oliva doesn't talk at all during the walk to the college's main gate. Asfa realised some of the students who saw them during the walk looked at him jealously. She is indeed beautiful, kind and intelligent. The other students must have tried so badly to get closer to her.
When they arrived at the front gate, Olivia walked toward a big black limousine, and Asfa saw a butler waiting for her while opening the car's door.
Asfa was just about to leave the main gate and go to the library. Suddenly a solid and fit looking guy approached him. "I am one of the personal guards responsible for Olivia's safety, Ian. Who are you and what makes you think you can walk with her?"

Asfa frowned, I don't even want to do this bro!
Asfa : Hello there Mr Ian. I am Asfa Hunt the instructor here. I don't volunteer to do this, she asked for it. Worry not, I wouldn't do this if she didn't ask. May I go now sir?
Ian : Do not let this happen again. Just do your job and stay away from her. You don't have what it takes to know her. Have a good day Mr Hunt.
Ian went into the limousine and left. Asfa looks at them leaving, then walks away from the scene. He deduced that Olivia must be the daughter of an upper elite, especially when already seeing in his own's eyes how vicious the evil organisation wanted to kidnap her.
He would rather not know anyone from the elites, especially the important ones. They are bunch of troublesome people. "I am way too small to be involved in this".
Asfa is in front of the library, he sees some students and instructors here. He even saw some students from his class but they were just busy doing their thing. Asfa entered the library with his card key and walked directly to where he went yesterday to read some books.
He had been trying to find anything about Red Scythe on the internet yesterday, but there was none. He wanted to be prepared for the worst. "I hope there is something related to Red Scythe and also about that high-tech weaponry they used."
After half an hour, Asfa found only one book related to Red Scythe, while the other book he wanted to see was non-existent. He spent an hour reading about the Red Scythe, and he got anxious. "They are huge, no wonder the government hide anything related to them!"
From the book he read, Red Scythe has been around for almost a hundred years. The purpose of their existence is to do chaos and destruction on earth. They are bunch of criminals from almost every kind of profession. There are companies also owned by them hiddenly to ensure they ensure the organisation's survival.
In a decade alone, they have taken millions of lives from their evil-doing such as bombing people during the national events, sabotaging airplanes, etc. They are ruthless to anyone, especially toward the elites. The government has done everything they could to eradicate these evils yet they are still growing.
The infighting hurt the commoner the most since they couldn't even do anything to resist since majorities of lives lost were from the commoner. He has been trying so hard not to be involved with any of them.
"I need to train harder and find a way to improve my ability."
Asfa was about to leave after returning the book. Suddenly, he heard someone call his name from behind.
Ethan : Surprised to see you here, Mr Hunt. I thought you were busy spending time with Olivia. I mean, who wouldn't, right?
Asfa : I wouldn't mind spending my free time watching my students practising, especially those from my class. Feel free to come to me if you need help related to my subject. See you tomorrow Ethan.
Ethan : Be careful, Mr Hunt. She's out of our league.
He didn't give much attention to what Ian and Ethan said because he won't be bothered to get closer to any of the elites at the end of the day. "Please just leave me alone.."
On his way to the train station, Asfa realised that someone had followed him when he left the college. So he used his ability to locate the follower precisely.
Fight or flight?

Ars Magica
Our vision comes back into focus. Our eyes, while being able to perceive the immediate surroundings, still leave us with our minds uncomprehending towards what is actually occurring. Sure, there are definitive things that we can focus on, like the fact that we're either out upon the open sea or the open ocean, there not being much of a difference with no land in sight, as well as the fact that we appear to be upon a haphazardly constructed metal boat, whose seams are barely able to keep a hold of themselves in the crashing waves. However, that does not let us understand what exactly is causing the waves in the first place. If we were to rewind time, we'd find ourselves upon a calm sea under a peaceful sky with the only difference, being a small whirlpool that would be the precursor towards this uproar around the boat. Lightning flashes in the sky, with no clouds being near, and anyone actually manning the boat has either died towards the cause of the smashing tides in the first place, or are fighting amongst the flashes of lightning, all while trying not to become devoured, demolished, and utterly decimated by the beast roiling in the whirling waves. To better understand exactly what is happening here, there is one singular event that needs to be understood, that needs to be explained, and that is the arrival of a creature named Dave. Stepping back from current events and going towards this creature's first appearance in the world, we begin to hear the sound of water slowly dripping across rocky ground. The cavern is utterly silent except for this one constant, its cause feeding channels downwards, sloping towards cracks in the rubble along the floor from broken stalagmites and stalactites. And there, lying on top of something which had fallen over recently, judging from its cracks, is a person, the creature named Dave. His form is fast asleep, either from the impact or from an intoxication, judging from the smell upon its breath. A bright light suffuses into it for a second, giving life towards the pale skin, before it slowly dies down back to the comfortable black of the cave that it's within. Before this moment in time, Dave did not exist in the physical world. At least, not in the reality that he finds himself born into. We do not know whether or not his existence is simply a cosmic joke, or something that is being played out on purpose. All that we do know, is that one moment, the body was not in the cave, and simply formed in the next. The actual earliest time that we know Dave exists, is the interpolation of the memories of J-209, which we'll begin looking into shortly to gain context towards the coming narrative that is being written and hastily trying to keep itself written. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Warning: This story has several things which might turn its readers away. The first is that this story has shifting points of perspective. Don't worry about that previous sentence too much though, as the main character will always have a first person perspective associated with them. However, any other character from which we're viewing the story from will either be in third-person, as we are not necessarily in their shoes at the moment, or in first person, given that the narrator is an actual physical presence within the story. For the most part, chapters will be self-contained with their perspectives, so there will not be an abundance of switching perspectives within the same chapter. The most that an average reader would have to worry about is the fact that perspectives can switch between chapters. The second thing is that the main character is a bit on the 'special' side of things. He's not exactly mentally there most of the time, so there will be some times that his personality or his thoughts do not actively align with his actions. The third, and final thing of importance, is the fact that past the first couple of chapters, nothing has been planned in advance. There are arcs and plots that I want to do, want to implement, or have already been set into motion from our main character's introduction to the world, but the method that I use for my story writing and generating leads towards a bit more random chance being enabled. Basically...there's a lot of dice rolling behind the scenes. To not complicate the story further than its regular LitRPG elements, the rolls will not be publicly available. However, there will be knowledge within the author's notes on whether or not there were positive or negative critical rolls that had occurred within the chapter. You have been warned. Updates: Mondays & Fridays (Schedule permitting) Typical Chapter Length: (2,000-3,000)

RECALCITRANCE
{COMPLETED} Alaina wishes to be more than a mere icon for her kingdom, believing a princess should be much more than a fragile lady in a dress. The king wants no more than for her to marry in order to succeed the throne, but she has other things in mind -- such as her thirst for freedom and adventure. But when one of the neighbouring kingdoms demands that it's time for a change in the land of Asteria, her entire kingdom is shaken.
