Nell: “I’m not blind, I know that there’s something going on with Nao. I don’t know what it is but won’t burden him with this too. I didn’t want to do that to you either but…*smile* you just don’t take no for an answer.”

She beams a tired smile and I return the gesture as best I can. We eat a quick meal together, just the two of us. I don’t know why I don’t do this more often.

I really have been focusing too much on work and my image. But it’s for a good cause, I should do more. I enjoyed that relax day with Alphon and sleeping in but I can’t make it a habit.

No! He’s still down there, it’s only a matter of time before he realizes his mistake. People can’t escape from where their born abilities put them. That can’t…otherwi-

I look around and notice that Nao is gone again. He’s off the black list so why is he still with those bottom dwellers? Didn’t he learn his lesson with Anton, stop trying to shake the boat idiot.

Sarcasm Trevor, will you ever learn it. As I cup my head in annoyance, I notice Nao running outside the cafeteria like a mad man. What is he doing now?

Whatever, it’s between them. As long as he doesn’t fight Nao I don’t care. I leave the cafeteria with Trevor in tow following Nao’s trail.

I try ignore his presence along the way to wherever Nao is. Eventually, I follow the likely trail outside and to…a group of students. I push past them a bit worried if those bullies went too far but…it was worse.
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfnlxUp1SqE
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkeFQqD8k2l
Nao was covered in blood, but not his own. The Black Listers and 3 bullies. All bloody and broken with only Nao standing. Despite the mumbling crowd, Nao doesn’t stop what he’s doing. As if the outside world didn’t exist.
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUQAATVkYAM
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0L2IjUUAyN
He was on top of one of the bullies and beating him into…nothing. Could that even be considered a face anymore? There was only a mound of flesh and bone where a human face should be. I feel…sick.
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGj2yvE02zk
Alyson: “Nao…”420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyQmP7olcvX
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG0v9wLIYRw
At the sound of my voice, he finally looks back, and his eyes…I can’t stop shaking. The anger and hate are tangible from all the way here. It threatens to consume me if I look any deeper.
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡElB6FxpLE2
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlVv7oHdR6q
What the hell happened here? What have I…let happen?
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvVtJ4ld4Ap
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC8s7yL1mpZ
Suddenly, the anger in his eyes slips away after a moment. Now he’s shaking too, on the verge of tears.
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbgavvw8yIQ
Trevor: “What’s this?”420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡotmYhDel8m
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYBSaPt363R
His words break our eye contact. I look at Trevor and I instantly know what’s about to happen. I…can’t watch anymore. I run away from the bloodbath not knowing what to do.
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡngUEYQmRk4
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTtnhbXgSx6
I travel aimlessly, not knowing what to make of what just happened. Nao looked taller and actually beat up those bullies? How did this happen and why?
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCPcBl7etaL
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjroyCIKkfz
Was he pushed too hard? I never wanted it to come to this. I didn’t know it would go this far. Did I make a mistake? If Nao could do that then maybe-
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPqX9lLP01D
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPLe5wP2bb8
NO! REMEMBER MY TEACHINGS ABOUT THOSE WITH THE GIFT AND THOSE WITHOUT!
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzRb0s0la0Z
Well, maybe he does have the ability? Yes, that’s it! I just misjudged him, I had to have made a mistake. Just because Nao was lazy before doesn’t mean he’s a failure, he hid his ability. He’s even doing better in class.
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFmXPJuXUAL
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLOMjdGd9Zq
NO! HE’S A DESTINED FAILURE LIKE THE REST OF THEM. REMEMBER WHAT HAPPENED TO HER WHEN SHE TRIED TOO HARD.

…You’re right mam. Your words are always right. That was just a fluke. But even so…I won’t let Trevor break my brother.
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD0n8qKG6gi
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTlLk6BUQ0M
I run to the nearest teacher and force them to come stop the fight. I rally more nearby teachers along the way just in case Trevor doesn’t back down.
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo8Q5haEww6
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvMtJ0IoLoy
When we get back to the fight, both Trevor and Nao are hurt. But Nao…he’s much worse off. As soon as Trevor backed off, Nao collapsed hard. I watch the teacher carry the wounded to the nurse’s office and disperse the crowd.
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLh96BLFajq
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq3eNTcOvnK
I follow them all the way to the office where they laid Nao down. They patched everyone the best they could but the wounds were severe. The one Nao was on top of had to be sent to the hospital.
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkqp0i0EKNJ
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbqP9rHtj4e
But the one I really cared about right now was still here. He’s wounds are terrible but apparently Nao is quickly healing.
