Isekai: New Adventure In The Fantasy World

"It wasn't like you said, 'Let's relax... If there's a ghost, I'll burn it until it's gone. Don't underestimate the prince of fire on this one' well, please fight."

Leo remained silent. To be honest, he was not as brave as what he had shown everyone all along. There's a secret that only her and her siblings know.

Avren who saw Leo quietly frowned. "Why is it silent?"

Leo sighed. His hands clenched strongly. He did not want anyone else to know about this, but in this situation, keeping it a secret was also not an option.

"I'm sorry... I'm not as brave as I look. I'm acting like this too to cover up my weaknesses." Said Leo lirih. He seemed hesitant to say it, but he seemed to be forcing himself to come clean.

Avren just kept listening. He thought it would be like this. Sometimes people will pretend to be strong to cover their weaknesses. Everyone must have bad memories or something that is kept secret from others. It must have been hard to unpack what he had been hiding all along.

But unfortunately the situation forced her to tell the truth. There was no point in continuing to hide it at this time.

Avren asked. "Indeed... why?"

"As you know, I have the best physical ability of my brother. But that's not something I can be proud of. That's why I've always been trained hard. Failed a little I was immediately hit. That's why I hide my fear. I'm actually a coward... I act like that so that no one will ever know. If I was afraid, their treatment would be even worse for me. " Clearly Leo is frank. He buried his face between the folds of his hands.

In his heart he thought, what is the right choice to tell that to Avren? But hiding her was also not a good option, as it was obvious that Avren knew her now.

"You know, I'm the same. Then I can't say good. I was always bullied because of my ability. That's why I sometimes cover it up. Yep... Until I meet Zuka." Avren paused his speech. He took a breath and continued again.

"Initially I didn't want to believe in other people, but after meeting her I knew, not everyone would do the same when they found out. I just need to believe and be sure of him. Yep... So too with Zion. At first I suspected him of being a member of the Inimicus race because of his magic and his eyes. But... Now I know I was wrong. So, the point is not to be afraid to show your weak side. Because not everyone's the same as what's in your past."

"Thank you..." Said Leo lirih.

Avren's warm smile show. "same. Now, what if we go back to looking for the scroll? So we can finish quickly."

Leo agreed. "All right!"

Zion watched the Hero Class disciple from the top of the tree. Some of them have successfully completed the challenge well. Although there are several dramas, venting sessions and shouting actions are unclear, but at least they managed to complete the challenge in the "guts test" this time.

"It seems like everything has gone well so far. Said Zion with a slight smile.

'Yes, smoothly. But the drama is also not lost.' said Nero.

Yeah, there's a point. A lot of drama happened. But... At least it can be a lesson as well as a test to train their guts.

However, on the other hand Zion still thought about the incident earlier. Who exactly is the devil? How could.. He knows a lot of his past life.

I don't know why there is such a sad feeling. Many regrets that Zion still felt since reincarnating. His death that was too sudden, definitely made both of his parents sad. Plus his questions are still unanswered, making Zion more stressed thinking about her.
