Secrets Out

The two guards looked at me worriedly. They even looked at each other just to see if they were feeling the same.

Guard: Hey, youngster...you shouldn't go...you don't know how hard it is to be a skilled japanese...once you have power, the royalties will take over it...they will use it for their own purposes. As long as the royalties still alive...they will always be the one to rule over the world...even if you have tremendous powers.. He said while looking away.

He was serious when he tell that to me...I wonder if the path I have chosen was right?

Guard #2: They were also keeping skilled japanese as their lackeys or sometimes a bodyguard...tell me..do you wanted to live in a world like that? Just before you got your own freedom? He said while looking at me sadly.

He is right. I know that I will face a lot of consequences once I stepped foot on Hikari..but..deep inside...I want to go..since AKA said to me that I...a useless person..was somehow significant...I want to believe it..believe in what he said. So.. I will go. No matter how hardship I went through..as long as I knew what worth does my life have...I will keep on fighting..

Shuji: I am ready to face any consequences when stepping foot in Hikari. I looked at them with a lot of courage.

Guard #2: Why don't you stay with us? We can help you..we will provide you this police station..you can stay here and eat delicious meals... don't go in Hikari...since I know how it feels like stepping into that county..they only care about the power you hold..and the power they hold in this world... He protested while looking at me like he was about to cry.

Shuji:...um.. are you guys somehow a royalty like those in Hikari? I said while looking at them. I kept thinking about this since they talked to me...why does this guards know about Hikari so much? And as for those police uniform they're wearing...based on the texture of the uniform I bet it was expensive..

The guard was shocked about what I said. The guards started cleared their throat.

Guard: Yes..we were born in Hikari..but since our family wasn't that much rich as everyone in Hikari...those upper royalties make us work for them as guards protecting the Chain of Justice. They threatened our family and blabbered that if we want our family back we need to work as guards in here...in Yorushiba.. it's funny since the upper royalties also demanded us to work harder since they will be sending tons of money to our family in our pay day...He said while maintaining his poker face...but I know that they were mad about how the upper royalties threatened their family just to force them to work on something they don't want to do.

Shuji: I know you guys had been through a lot..but I promise you guys...I won't regret my decision..I looked at them sincerely.

Shuji: Actually...I felt like I wanted to trust you guys...can you guys keep me a secret? I said while fidgeting my hands in my lap.

I feel nervous..I feel guilty knowing that they said some secrets to me...and here I am lying on what I said about me running away from home. I saw the guards looked at each other again and the both smiled. Looking at me while waiting for what I'm about to say..

Shuji: um... actually...you know that I have some hidden powers in me...right? Since I was going for the examination... I said while looking at my lap.

Guard #2: Well...you were right...we already had a hunch that you have powers since you said you that you were joining on the examination.. He said while smiling.

Shuji: The thing is...I actually didn't ran away from home...I... didn't know I had powers...it just activated when my mother started yelling at me saying that she should've killed me like he did...with...f-father... I was so mad. My father was the only one who loved me for who I am.. knowing the fact that my own mother killed his own husband...it triggered me...so hard that I almost killed her... I said while bursting into tears.

I wiped my tears and felt a hand in my back. Gently caressing my back.

Guard #2: Don't cry...I know you have been through a lot too..just looking at your eyes I already know how hard it is for you.. He said while caressing my back and looked at me with pity.

Shuji: Please...I'm begging you...put my mother in jail...no...in prison...she deserves to rot in prison...I will never forgive her... I said while looking at the guards while sobbing like a child.

Guard #2: okay...okay..I know it isn't our duty to meddle with anyone without any connection to the Chain of Justice..but we will try our best to get her into prison... He said while still caressing my back.

I was just in the chair letting out all of my sufferings by sobbing. As I have calmed down. I looked at the guards.

Shuji: Thank you so much... I said while still wiping my tears.

Guard: No problem. You said you wanted to go to Hikari, right? If you wanted to go to Hikari...you must have an id or something that will identify that you have powers. He said while smoking.

Shuji: Huh? It needs an important information like that? But... my id....there was nothing in there...about my powers..about me being an esper.... I said while getting confused...and started to struggle.

Guard: Huh? Then how come you have powers when your id has no information about you being an esper..? He said while looking at me with such confusion.

The guards started to frown when they heard that there wasn't any information about me having a power or being an esper in my id.

Guard #2: I'm still not sure about this but...I think there's only one probability on what happened on that id. Maybe your mother erased all the informations about you being an esper. But I wonder why would she do that? He rethink his answer thoroughly.

I was shocked. Why? Why would mother would do such thing as erasing my information about me being an esper?....
