As I close the door behind him, as endless tears cascade my face as I question the reason I hurt everyone around me, what kind of person am I? If all I bring is endless pain to those closest to me.

Chapter 16

Sparring

Malaya

On one of the first few days I spent on the island I was taken to a sparring arena, where I watched many fights take place, after my small battle with our teacher I somehow became the talk of the town, where too many times I was asked to battle various community members. I have declined each and every one of them; I don’t wanna hurt anyone, if anything, that’s the last thing that I need sitting on my conscious.

Yesterday I was called in for a meeting with the immortal council, where I was asked very politely to go into the sparring ring with 20 opponents, basically with the exception of our immortal ruler, the king, they are the 20 eldest and most powerful immortals to ever live, they would like to put my abilities through a series of tests to see how I fair against them. They have no intention of hurting me though they have emphasized that I should do my best in every, if not all battles, they insist that I give it my best as they are extremely powerful so I should not be concerned with injuring them.
