Haruto denied is fate

Haruto was not as brave as his father, the late Captain Jogo, but Zinkin iyago took it upon himself to train the boy.

*Early Morning*

Zinkin Yago walked into haruto room and found him still asleep. Without hesitation, he walked to the well, drew water, and poured it on haruto.

Haruto flinched and fell from his bed, reaching for his temple in shock. Before he could recover, Zinkin grabbed him and hit him hard.

"Why are you so lazy?" Zinkin barked. "What's wrong with you? Be a man! Stand for yourself. Don't be a coward!"

Haruto,angry and trembling, shouted back, "Why are you forcing me to be stronger? Can't you let me have peace of mind?"

Zinkin replied "You don't get peace. You are the next protector of the Temple!"

"No, I'm not!" Haruto yelled "I'm just 14! How do you expect me to protect the Temple?"

Zinkin stared at him, calm but firm. "Because it's in your blood," he said confidently.

Haruto stormed out from the room, filled with anger.
