《Honest Way of Living》Law Abiding People
Advertisement
In a minute, the video clip of Aldrich destroying the statue with his ability spread like wildfire on social media. Though the titles for every clip were different to each of them, they all got the same responses from people.
[Great Wizard!]
[Earth Bender!!]
[Aldrich the God Mesengger!!!]
Naturally, Aldrich has no time to care about this, but his status elevated from 'no one' to 'the one' in a flash. He and Olivia left the screen after the scene since the authority would do the necessary briefing about the enhanced people.
The government announced that everyone could take the enhanced human aptitude test in a week at the nearest military facility in their respective city. Surprisingly, the facilities mentioned were ready to operate, and their locations could be found on the government's official websites.
To those who are not ready and don't want to be tested, the authority strictly warns them to obey some general rules.
1. The usage of the ability to harm people is strictly forbidden.
2. Enhanced people are not allowed to be in evil organisations.
3. Threatening others with your power is not allowed.
The warning was necessary from their side to ensure the safety of ordinary people out there. Those who tested positive as enhanced would be separated to their class and rank. This was necessary to ensure they would get paid according to their ability and contribution later.
People are excited when the news about the aptitude test spread. It is their golden ticket to improve their life. Though some debated why the government didn't make it compulsory for every enhanced people to register. It was a decent move by the government to let the ordinary people slowly assimilate the existence of enhanced humans.
To ensure everyone watches the broadcast, people without television can see the whole thing with their phones by subscribing to the government's official social media account. He sleeps immediately after the broadcast over to wake up early in the morning tomorrow.

After 6 hours of sleeping, he woke up in refreshed shapes. Since everything was packed, he carried the backpack and left the apartment. It is 4 o'clock in the morning, and the presence of people is almost non-existent.
On his way there, he took his time playing with his phone. Then he realised that Olivia hadn't contacted him since yesterday, so he took his time to write something to her.
"Good morning, Princess. I will be away for a month, hopefully. I'm so sorry about your injuries. Anyway, good luck with your studies!"
He also texted Steve about his departure and then turned off his phone. Asfa is now standing in front of the forest entrance and he inspects the whole place immediately with his ability for safety measures.
"I knew it! They must be looking for the serums thief.."
Asfa found out that they were five bandits sleeping just behind the bushes a hundred meters from the entrance. From their sleeping positions, the one who should be covering their rest must have to fall asleep.
"Fight or flight?" Asfa thought for a moment.
Honestly, he wasn't really a fan of being the one who starts the fight. The thought of killing innocent people would haunt him if he made the wrong judgement here. He steels his resolve to just do it as quickly as he can.
Luckily he brought a few wooden spikes as a weapon. It seems impossible to go to the wooden hut where he hid the rifle he got on the previous trip. The wooden sticks slowly move to the bandits' location and hover there steadily, aiming at each of them.
Swiftly, the wooden sticks instantly pierced through each of the bandit's hearts. Five lives have gone just like that. He gathered the remains on the same spot and then burnt them with the kerosene from the oil lamp. This was the best thing he could do for them, and his heart needed to be reassured too.

Asfa left the place to continue his journey toward the unexplored part of the forest. To avoid being caught by more hidden bandits, Asfa decided to use the most unpopular way to reach the uncharted forest area by moving along the river in the swamp areas.
Since he could just coat himself with mana, there was no risk of his clothes being dirty or wet by running along the river.
Meanwhile in the place where the college students and instructors, are now allowed to leave according to the authority. They were so surprised to know about the recent news of enhanced being accepted by the public. Since most of the people from college were privately exposed to the enhanced human community.
But most men there were so excited to know their king actually had a daughter, and she looked amazingly beautiful. They know by wooing the princess, they will be the next king. They know by wooing the princess, they will be the next king. Little did they know, Olivia never bother to look at any man other than Asfa when she was in college.
Ethan had been managing Class F since they gathered during the calamity, and he did it well. Therefore, the college admin decided to award him for his deed. While waiting for his driver to fetch him back home from the main lobby, Ethan was surrounded by other students.
"Hey man, congrats!"
"Congrats Ethan!"
"Ethan, are you free for dinner tomorrow?"
"Ethan, ....."
Ethan gladly and calmly replied to all of them until his driver came. He looks so surprised when the door opens because his father is inside the car waiting for him.
"Did you expose your power during the accident?", Ethan's father asked the moment the door closed.
Ethan simply shakes his head for the question asked previously.
He then looks at his father, "If you are going to ask me about the princess, I can confirm that it's her. She was missing the whole time, and none of the admin staff bothered to look for her. Oh, if you are going to ask me to woo her, just stop. She has a huge crush on our instructor, and I think the king knows about it too."
"Nah, it is okay. I have something else for you to do, Ethan. You might not like this, but this is necessary for our family's survival."
She wanted to text Asfa, but then she noticed that Asfa had texted her early in the morning. She was so excited reading the notification since it was the first time Asfa to start the conversation. But after she clicked the 'read' button, her expression turned sour.
She tried to call him, but the operator said 'failure to complete the call as the person are not reachable for the time being'.
Aldrich was watching her daughter from the hall's main entrance. His heart broke a little when he saw Olivia's expression change dramatically.

After he came to, he would soon learn that things in the other world aren't quite as he remembered them to be. The world he wrote of had become but a shadow of its former self. Albeit hesitant at first, he sets off on a quest to find out the secrets behind the Trails, yet even then, he can't help but wonder... Can he really bring his world back to its old glory? —————————— I have never written a story before in my life and now I'm doing so in a language I don't natively speak.

With the necessities out of the way, both constructive criticism and other suggestions are very much welcome, and I'll do my best to take them into account when writing future chapters.
