Chapter 2: Despair
''Father, Uncle Byrd, they're all dead, they're all dead! it's all me! I'm the one who killed them. If it weren't for me, my father would have been able to escape with the jade pendant, and Uncle Bird wouldn't have come to my rescue!None of them would have died!It's all my fault!If I hadn't been born, my mother wouldn't have died!Sure enough, I really shouldn't exist in this world!''' In a wood, Odu hugged his head and cried.
''Is it really worth it for them to do this for me?'' I am so useless!''' The bird was startled from the branch by the sound of Odu hammering the tree with both hands
''O Du, my father is useless, he is just a businessman, and he can't bring you any status, so ah, you will have to rely on yourself to work hard in the future.'' ’’
''Rest assured, Father, I will surely be a useful person to make you happy.'' ’’
"You don't need to make me happy or anything, as long as you can be happy, I will be happy, remember, children are the most important thing for parents." ’’
''Remember, you must live!Only by living can you take revenge!'' Don't forget your father! He is your example!''
Everything from the past appeared in Odu's mind like a replay.
''Father, Uncle Byrd. ''Odu whispered to the sky, ''Am I really worthy of you?' Is it really good for you to put all your expectations on me?'
''I will do my best to do it whether it works or not, I must first have the strength, the power to be able to defeat the demons!'' Odu discerned the direction and resolutely headed towards a city
A month later.
"Get out of the way, stinky beggar! Don't get in the way of Uncle Ben! It's really unlucky! Sweep away Uncle Ben's interest!" A fat boy walked out of the magic academy with a big grin, and kicked away the boy who was sitting in the corner in tattered clothes, but the boy did not resist.
"Young master, don't be like this, why do you want to be like a waste who can't practice magic?" The servant who followed the fat boy looked at the young man in tattered clothes and said in disgust, "Come on, young master, I heard that the holy daughter of the Church of Light is about to visit our first magic academy in the empire. ’’
"Whether she is a saint or not, sooner or later it will be in my bag, hehe!" As if remembering the beauty of the saint, the fat boy wiped the liquid from his mouth.
"That's that, young master, you are so wise and martial, and it is a blessing that she has cultivated in eight lifetimes. The servant followed behind him and patted his ass on the back and walked towards a restaurant.
The kicked teenager slowly raised his head, and it was Odu-Shutru.
Hehe, that's not what I should think, I don't even have the motivation to live now. As he spoke, the corners of Odu's mouth opened an arc, as if he was laughing at his own incompetence.
Odu leaned against the walls of the magic academy, looked up at the sky, and casually shoved the steamed buns that others had thrown to him as if he were a beggar
3 hours ago.
"Is this the No. 1 magic academy in the Empire?" My father, Shutru, had a friendship with a magister here, and he asked me to come to this magic academy to study magic. ''Odu said to the guards.
''In that case, then I'll take you to the guru.'' ’’
''Come on, come on, the freshman who is going to sign up is here to test his magical talents. A middle-aged man in a magic robe shouted to Odu.
''It's simple, just put your hand on this crystal ball and concentrate. ’’
''Got it, thank you.'' Odu said and put his hand on the crystal ball.
''Focus on the crystal ball and concentrate!''' shouted the instructor.
''Got it.'' ’’
Various colors of light gradually appeared on the crystal ball, symbolizing the blue of the water element, the green of the wood element, the red of the fire element, the white element of light, the black element of darkness, and the silver element of space
Then the colors disappeared one by one.
As the last color disappeared, the tutor sighed and thought, "What a pity, such a polite child, alas, there is no element to be close to, this is impossible, obviously everyone will be more or less biased towards a certain element!" ’’
''Sorry, kid, you don't have any talent for magic. The mentor said apologetically to Odu.
''Thanks, it's okay. ''Odhu walked out of the academy like a walking corpse.
''Alas, really, such a good child could not practice magic. ''The Mentor watched as Odudi left, sighing again
''Why!''Why can't I practice magic!'''Otto roared into the sky as if he had gone mad, attracting sideways glances from passers-by.
''Is this kid crazy?'' ’’
''Definitely, my son says he doesn't have any magical talent. ’’
''What!'' The noblewoman screamed, as if afraid of being heard by Odu, and the two whispering noblewomen lowered their voices again.
Even my watchdog is more talented than him. ’’
''yes, so you don't see he's going crazy now.'' It was said that his father, along with his uncle, had been eaten by demons, and that he was lucky to survive, but it seemed that he might as well be dead. As they spoke, the two of them avoided Odu and walked into the distance.
''It's so miserable, the demon is so terrifying.'' ''''' The voices of the two grew fainter as the distance grew.
''yes, I'm not even as good as a dog.'' Hearing this, Aodu smiled bitterly, and put the back of his hand on his face, "What's the use of living like a wasted person like me, magic can't be learned, and fighting spirit is not something that a civilian like me can learn." As he spoke, a tear the size of a bean flowed from the back of his hand.
''I'm nothing!'
The firmness that I had at the beginning is gone, and in its place is despair, a deep, hopeless despair for the future.
