Vin suddenly jumped because of instinct. He was about to slide when suddenly, there was a chubby boy who blocked the path of the slide. Unluckily, Vin's body is not built in the way he wanted it. He messed up and fell to the ground with his face facing it.
Vin sat down from his fall and analyzed the situation. There were 5 children who seemed to have taken over the slide. He gritted his teeth upon realizing it.
What's up with these children? Do they really have to do things forcefully? He thought.
Vin stood up and wiped out the dirt from his t-shirt. He was about to let it pass when he realized that the girl who was with him was having a hard time to take a chance to slide. Some of them are even taking over her and then sliding to their utmost enjoyment. Afterwards, those boys that slid would do the same thing again which loses the opportunity for the girl to take a slide.
Vin didn't like what's happening. Because of this, he confronted the boys and said "Let her play.".
The boys looked at each other for a while and ended up laughing. They did not take Vin's word seriously and continued on sliding. This time, they are now purposely not making the girl slide.
Suddenly, the chubby boy accidentally hit the girl as he was hurrying to slide again. The girl luckily fell onto the grass. This time, Vin is irritated.
Because of this, Vin had enough and then grabbed the shoulders of the chubby boy. In response, the boy shoved Vin using his elbow as he turned around. Vin was hit on to his face by this and was pushed a little backwards by the impact.
Vin felt something coming out from his nose. In response, he checked it using his fingers only to realize that drops of blood started flowing down in it. That part was mostly hit which might explain the result of the contact.
Combat instincts start to rise from Vin. He then clenched his fist and seemed to cast a spell. He used words which could not be understood by a normal human on Earth, which just seemed to be a random thing for the children around.
"Light knuckles!" Vin shouted at the top of his lungs in a different language from everyone. He didn't realize it at first, but everything he had said was completely useless in this world.
The punch landed on the chubby guy's stomach, who had his tummy create waves that shook it a little. At this time, Vin had realized the ineffectiveness of the things he had said earlier.
Since the chubby guy was taller and older, he managed to grab Vin's shirt. Vin tried to move to avoid what his opponent was planning but he was so weak that the boy managed to throw him away to the ground.
It's been some time when I fought someone stronger than me.
There were bruises on Vin's arm and legs. But even so, he focused on the chubby boy, who was glaring at him. The other kids were watching as the fight continued. They were even shouting that pretty much cheers up the chubby boy.
All of a sudden, Vin stood up from lying on the ground and started running without hesitations. There was a sharp stare in his eyes. He then smirked upon realizing something.
You're defenseless.
Using his momentum, Vin slid on the ground when he's about to get in contact with the chubby boy. He managed to hit what he exactly planned to do, which was his legs. The boy lost his balance. Gravity then helped on the procedure which made him fall down like a domino. Just in time, Vin had rolled sideways to avoid the fall.
There was a huge thud that could be heard among the rest of the park. The rest of the children that had seen the situation started backing off. Their legs could be seen shaking amidst the fear of having the same fate as the chubby boy. The same boy stood up with tears in his eyes, but notably with dirt all over his face. In an instant, he started running along with the rest of his group.
The girl, who was with Vin, looked at him with wet eyes. She seemed worried about him, who was watching everything from a distance. She was still on the ground, looking helplessly to move. And so then, Vin decided to move closer to her.
"Here," Vin said while giving out his hand. The girl accepted it. She managed to stand up.
"You," the girl was about to say something when she started crying.
Vin panicked. Seeing her cry, with him in front of her would make it seem like him making the girl cry. Upon realizing this, he looked around to see if someone was looking at them. Knowing that there wasn't anyone around, he patted the girl.
"Jeez, and you're older than me," Vin said with mumbled words. The girl looked at him, who was raising his arm just to pat her.
I guess it can't be helped, I was reborn in this world after all...
And after the incident, the two played at the park with the most fun they could get. It wasn't that long when Vin's parents came to the park, who looked worried as they had been searching for him for a while. On the other hand, the girl's parents came by too, almost at the same time as Vin's parents.
The two families walked on a similar path on the side of the road. While walking, Vin suddenly realized something. And so, he asked his mother immediately.
"Mom, why are you with her parents?"
Vin's mother looked at his way. She then figured out what her son meant. And so, she started explaining, "We happen to pass each other. When we realized that you're missing, they were already searching for their daughter. And with that, we decided to go together to search for you two."
Vin looked at the sky after hearing her mother's explanation. It did not take long when they reached their house. The girl's family went on further who were about to make a turn around Vin's place.
There was suddenly an idea that popped into Vin's mind. His parents were around the door at the time, who was opening the lock of the door leading inside. Because of this, he shouted without hesitation.
"My name's Vin! What's your name?"
There was silence for a second. But realizing that Vin was talking to her, she turned around and replied.
"Andrea!"
Andrea huh... What a good name. He smiled.
