Chapter 36 Weeping Sohia

Lore and his party didn't stay in the Adventure Guild for long, partly because Lore wasn't too badly injured, and secondly because the weekend was over and they had to rush back to the Academy.

Therefore, after Lore had regained some strength that night, the group hurried back to the academy, and finally rushed back to their respective dormitories before the curfew, and the duel between Lore and Sohia finally came to an end.

This time, although Lore was a duel that he was semi-forced to participate in, however, he was able to win without using the Excalibur "Edge", Lore's heart was still overjoyed, except for some embarrassing scenes at the end, Lore was very satisfied with this outing.

Of course, in addition to Lore, there are also people who are not so happy, such as Nolans, who knows how much this guy has pressed on the gambling table, and he can't even afford to eat!

And the other person who is not so comfortable in this incident is naturally Soxia!

For others, this is just a small failure, but for Soxia, this failure is a cruel denial of her more than ten years of hard work!

After waking up from her slumber, Soxia has been lying quietly on the bed, staring blankly at the ceiling, the wounds left in the duel have been repaired, but the wounds left in Soxia's heart are indelible!

She was the one who took the initiative to provoke this duel, and she was the one who was defeated in the end, considering the age, experience, and hard work of the two, how could Sohya accept it?

As Soxia's friend, Ellie didn't dare to leave easily at this time, she was very worried about Soxia's current situation, she couldn't empathize, so she could only try to understand.

Ellie brought the dinner that Leah and the others brought to Sohia: "Soxia, you need to eat something too, you have been asleep for a long time, how can you not eat something?"

Soxia said lightly: "It's okay, Ellie, I don't have any appetite at all. ”

Ellie frowned and said, "Sohya, can you cheer up a little? It's just a duel! You're just careless! Don't think too much, okay?"

"Carelessly underestimating the enemy?" Soxia showed a bitter smile, "It may have been the case at first, but I tried my best every minute and every second after that, and what was the result? No matter how hard I tried, I couldn't get the slightest advantage! Even in the final head-to-head battle, I still couldn't win! And what about her? Not only did she have the strength to spare, but she didn't even take out the 'edge' of the divine sword!"

Ellie sighed in her heart, she could see that the result of this duel was really hard for Soxia!

"You know what? Since I was a child, my father has been very strict with me, and I have never understood why, why other children can be spoiled in the arms of their parents, but I can only chop the stake with a sword in my father's indifferent eyes! Even if my hands are full of blood blisters and my whole body is sore, I can't get a word of praise from him!"

Sohia stretched out her hands and quietly looked at the rough marks on it, her eyes filled with memories.

"I always thought it was because I wasn't good enough, so I tried even harder, but it turned out that it wasn't enough!"

"Later, at a banquet held by the royal family, I accidentally noticed that my father had been looking at a man opposite him with a very terrible look, this was the first time I saw my father's eyes like this, like a beast, I didn't understand what this look meant, and later I learned that it was a deep hatred!"

"I don't know why my father has such a look, but I seem to know what I should do, because there is a little girl sitting next to the person my father hates, and I know that it is the daughter of that person, and the father hates the father, so the daughter should hate the daughter too!"

"After the banquet, I secretly left my father, intercepted the father and daughter on the way, and made it clear that I wanted to duel with the little girl, but the poor little girl thought I was going to make friends with her!

Her father seemed surprised when he saw me, and then hesitated, then took a few steps back, leaving the two of us to solve the problem, and it was obvious that I beat her so hard that I even beat her hands red with the little wooden sword I carried with me! Because a crying child will only make the father angrier!"

However, I never expected that her father would say nothing, but very gently took her in his arms, held her little hand and blew softly. ”

"It's unbelievable to me! Why? Why is it that her father is so gentle when she is doing so badly, and I try so hard to get a look of approval from my father?"

"I suddenly felt like crying, but I hated it!

"That day, I secretly cried outside for a long time before coming home, and I was punished as usual, but this time, I accepted it very calmly, because I knew that I was different from her, and my father was not the same as her father!"

"Since that day, I've worked harder, but to my discouragement, I've been far from what I've paid for, and I'm not even far from what I wanted to achieve, and I didn't even get the first place in the two house competitions in my first and second years! But what is she Lore Rains? With that ethereal talent and luck, she was recognized by the artifact 'Edge', and she also won the house competition! What is this? It's not fair at all! It's not fair at all! It's not fair at all......

Sohia covered her face with her hands, sobbed softly, and kept repeating the words "unfair".

"Now, Ellie, why do you say that? I've tried so hard, but I can't beat her! I just want to prove that I'm better than her, why is it so hard? Why?"

Ellie didn't know how to answer, she didn't know how to comfort her, she just stayed by Sohia's side, listening to her wayward cries when she was most lonely and sad.

This is the first time Ellie has seen Soxia look so fragile, maybe after the previous year's house competition, Soxia was also sad, but she didn't show it.

In Ellie's impression, from the first day she met Sohya, Soxia was always so confident, as if she never lost faith.

But today is different, Soxia really can't hold on, she tore off her strong disguise, tears can't stop flowing, but, even so, she still has to use her hands to hide her expression, even if she cries, she is trying to suppress her voice, unwilling to make herself appear too vulnerable.

Jennifer didn't know when she came to the room, she shook her head softly at Ellie, and then sat silently on the edge of Sohia's bed, reaching out and rubbing Sohia's hair, her movements seemed very gentle.

"Sohya, do you lose confidence just like this one failure?"

Soxia sobbed for a moment, realizing that it was her aunt's voice, and suddenly became a little panicked, and her hands covering her cheeks became even harder, for fear that she would accidentally let her see her tears.

"Auntie, why are you here?"

"My niece is crying so sadly, of course I'm going to come and see it!" Jennifer sighed and said, "Okay, don't hide it!

Sohia choked up, "Don't!"

Jennifer smiled and said, "You, you, you, are still the same as when you were a child, you are so sad in your heart, but you still have to be strong! Cry and cry! Tears are a girl's prerogative." Have you forgotten what I told you? You don't want to cry in front of your father, it's okay in front of me. ”

Sohia quibbled, "I didn't cry!"

"Okay, no crying. Jennifer said with a little helplessness and a little doting, and took Soxia in her arms, "Come and tell my aunt, what's wrong this time?"

Soxia said sullenly: "Auntie......"

"Well, my aunt is here. ”

"I hit that nasty girl again. ”

"Well, I know. ”

"But this time I lost. ”

"Really? What does it matter? Didn't you win last time?"

"But this time it's different!"

"What's the difference?"

"Last time she was just a kid who didn't know anything!

"Oh, yes, but it doesn't make a difference to me! From my point of view, you're just children! Especially you, you cry exactly like when you were a child!"

"But ......"

"Nothing but that, Sohya, a win is a win, a loss is a loss, and a score of 1 to 1 cannot be counted as the final result. Isn't it too early for you to throw in the towel?"

"I don't want to admit defeat either!, but I've tried so hard for so long, but I can't compare to her half-attitude......"

"Then try a little harder!"

"How can it be so simple?"

"Then what do you want? Soxia, it's too complicated for you! If you want to win, then try to win! If you can't win once, then start over next time!"

"But what if I can't win in my life?"

"If you give up like this, you'll never have a chance!"

Soxia was silent, savoring this sentence repeatedly in her heart, her more than ten years of hard work was defeated, so did she really admit defeat like this?

Sohya suddenly felt a little ridiculous, she didn't shed a single tear after suffering so much on weekdays, but she lost so much that she was desperate as if there was no hope in life!

Sohya raised her head, her eyes full of hope again: "Auntie, is it possible that as long as I keep working hard, I will be able to win one day?"

Jennifer gave Soxia a strange look and said softly, "I didn't say that. ”

Soxia was dumbfounded: "...... Hey?!"

Aili, who had been listening quietly on the side, couldn't help twitching the corners of her mouth, what kind of situation is this? After stewing chicken soup for a long time, you drank it yourself?!

Looking at Sohya's stunned expression, Jennifer couldn't help laughing: "Fool!"

Sohia was stunned, and couldn't help but laugh aloud.
