The World We Do Not Know - 164 The Region Of God

He is trying hard.” Caitlyn muddles in her head, concluding from his expressions and efforts.

*Present*

“Take back what you said. Or I will make you eat those words.” The look on Faust’s face was pissed and grimaced with pain, of everything he heard till now.

Every kid in the corridor looks shocked, and faces of the group of kids who bullied Faust showcased mixed emotions.

All of them gritting their teeth and balled their fists. “Ahito! You need to do something. Teach him a lesson! How dare he say something against us.”

“Yes Ahito, We need to teach him a lesson!”

“Why aren’t you doing anything Ahito! Let’s go gang up on him.”

The kids around Ahito, leader of the group burst out, as he was still calm, telling him to do something while grabbing his arm.

All of the kids are only strong when it comes to hitting with words. When someone talks back to them, it is always Ahito they all look towards to.

“Look Ahito! How dare he look at us with those repulsive eyes, why don’t you do something? Don’t you feel anger? Come one Ahito! Let us beat him up!” A bald kid beside Ahito says furiously.

As the kids beside Ahito raise their voice trying to rile up Ahito to start a fight. All of their faces goes into shock assisted with fear in their eyes.

Faust starts walking towards them as soon as the bald kid runs his mouth, and they get more scared as Faust walks closer to them.

Faust stands in the face of Ahito, looking into his eyes without a hint of fear or discomfort shown.

“Y-you wanna have a taste of my punch Faust?” Ahito swings his right arm aiming for Faust’s face. He has to make a move to keep his head up in front of all the kids watching him.

But his blow was all in vain as it completely fail to even graze Faust.

Faust elegantly leans back, lifting his chin up. The punch travelled from under his chin without even grazing. He then leans forward staring down at Ahito he says. “Take the words back! Or none of you will be in good shape.” His eyes turned cold and dead and his voice becomes more confident as if he entered his battle mode, completely transforming.

Ahito in the class barely scratched the surface of kung-fu from his father. His elder brother in higher class is selected to take the test as well. So the group of bullies look up to Ahito as someone who could beat up everyone.

Seeing that Faust dodged his punch without even trying much, the group of bullies got more scared as chill settled into their backs on the sight.

“W-we will get back at you for sure some day, you creep! Remember this!” Ahito and the group of bullies runs after saying it. The scene left all the kids in the corner silent and dumbfounded.

Faust glares at all the kids in the corridor giving them a cold stare as if he is questioning and mocking them, if they got something to say. And nobody dared to speak any word or tilt any inch.

He sighs and turns back, and to his surprise Nick, Tim and Roy were present just in front of him. “Huh?’ his jaw dropped in surprise. “What are you guys doing here? Since when were you here?” Faust asks while being surprised.

“We saw a commotion here and took a peek, and to our surprise, it was you staring at that group. So we decided to come check up on you.” Nick replies with a majestic tone with his hands resting on his hips.

“Well, my little junior did not train his arms in the past six months. So we came to see if you need assistance. But you scared them off yourself all alone!” Nick wraps one of his arms around the neck of Faust and rubs his elbow on Faust’s head playfully while the four laughs loudly.

Caitlyn’s face calms down watching the four laughing together. She was happy that Faust stood up for her when no one else did and she keeps staring at the face of Faust. His bright laughter warms her heart with an unknown and new feeling creeping in.

“Haha stop it Nevada poop! My arms still burn, let go of me! Have you guys eaten anything? Let’s go to the canteen!” Saying that Faust remembers Caitlyn and looks back in the corridor for her. He scans through every face that is standing and walking in the huge place but doesn’t seem to find her.

He thinks that she might have been hurt and walked away and lets out a sigh. “Sigh! Anyway let’s go!” Faust and the other three says with a cheerful voice with their hands punching the ceiling, they head to the canteen.

Caitlyn hides behind a wall in the turning of the corridor. She wore a small smile on her face as her cheeks turn slightly pink, as a baby pink colored rose petals, thinking about Faust.

After lunch the group of kids that bullied Faust were silent in all the classes. Faust too did not even take a glance at them, he was focussed on the board and his books.

After school Gus and Bella both came to pick up Faust. Faust is more than delighted to see Bella too. She was not hyper upon seeing him but Faust was merry to see she is wagging her tail upon seeing him.

*Present*

“Mr Yang, some of the school kids are also murdered and some are missing.” Another guard gives the news to Yang.

“W-What is happening here?” Yang thinks to himself.

And after two weeks, Faust traveled to Mainland in a ship. And by coincidence or luck, Faust landed in the city of Medellin.

–

In the ‘Palace of God’ that is in between the two nations governing the mortals. Inside a golden hall, where everything except the white floor is pure gold. Walls and pillars made of gold, decorated with jewels, chains and gems of red and blue colours. The ceiling all coated in gold and dressed in small diamonds that sparkle like stars.

A blind man is guided by a royal guard in the middle of the hall on a black carpet with gold embroidered flowers. He walks up to a throne adorned with gems and diamonds on an eight-foot stage.

Both, the blind man and the royal guard bent on one of his knees, lowering their heads out of respect for the supreme being seated on the Throne in royal clothes.

“Your majesty!” The old blind man carefully addresses the person on the throne while telling himself not to make any blunders in addressing the person and at the same time fearing not to anger him by any kind of news that makes the person on throne unpleasant.

Immediately, that person gestures his hand to stop and the royal guard who guided the blind man holds his arm from beside while tightly squeezing to make the blind man understands that the ‘God’ the strongest man on earth does not want him to speak.

The God then moves his hand facing the royal guard who guided the blind man and jerks his hand up gesturing him to speak first.

“Y-your majesty! News from the House Of Asuras, The purge that has happened last week gave them a rather strong soldier who impressed many nobles. And Hades speculated that the soldier might be the defective humanoid that our palace tried to get rid of years ago.” The guard informs the news that is thought to be confidential in the house of Asura’s.

The God then again placing his hand in front of the guard flicks his hand out as he is trying to shake off, gesturing the guard to leave the hall. The person stands up with his head lowered down, takes two steps back while still bowing down to the God, turns back and walks away.

“Ahem” After the guard has left the hall, God signals the blind man that he can speak now.

“Forgive me, your majesty! It is about the defective humanoid that we brought back after all these years. He is making good progress.!” The blind man informs about the same humanoid that is known to go out of the main country with the help of a doctor years ago.

“Forgive me, your majesty! It is about the imperfect humanoid that we brought back after all these years. He is making good progress.!” The blind man notifies about the same humanoid that is known to escape out of the main country with the help of a doctor years ago.

The mortal that is continuing to receive praisings as a God in the realm of mortals. Elohim sits on the throne with his right hand supporting his chin while the other hand on the hand rest.

He is wearing a long gown of gold, a spirally spun gold strip, adorned with coronation robes which is also woven the same way with gold. On both his shoulders are chains from one end to another that hold his robe together.

“Well, well if it isn’t for the best of my lord. Let the houses think that the soldier is that humanoid with an infinite amount of energy while we train the real one inside the palace in secret and make him our dog.”

“He will be decisive to plunder the thirteenth dimension! And once we succeed, all the stones we will enough stones in our hands to keep our earth running for the next ten centuries wagagagaga.” Ivor the royal advisor for Elohim comes forth from behind the throne with happy smiles he expresses his feelings freely.

Ivor turns back to Elohim to accept the words of praise from the god for his exceptional plans. But surprisingly he receives stares from Elohim who looks pissed.

*”Huh? What is wrong? Did I say anything wrong? Why does my lord looks like he is ready to execute a royal advisor.”* Ivor turns pale upon catching Elohim’s piercing glares.

With a heavy sigh, Elohim settles himself in the throne adjusting his robe without getting it in between his legs. He looks a little old for a God as he hits mid-thirties a day ago. Thirty-six and the strongest mortal alive.

“Be it earth or any other dimension you are in, be it gold, wood or paper. The walls always have ears, Ivor. ” Elohim explains to Ivor.

*”Dammit! I should have known better, I’m a useless adviser if I’m not even aware of my surroundings.”* Ivor dramatically hides his face to show everyone how guilty he is. to may have leaked some important plans of his lord.

“Anyway, His name is Markos, Abraham. Stop calling him it or this. Even though he is a humanoid, he is like us.” Elohim only shows his kind side to the people very close to him. One is his blind teacher who taught him life and the other is his close friend.

“And we are dealing with generals Ivor! They are considered as the most powerful in the world. We need better plans to keep Markos a secret. You are my friend so I have you as my adviser, Ivor. But please don’t come up with any plans. Let me plan out everything accordingly.” Elohim states out everything to Abraham, the old blind man from the retirement house and his friend/advisor Ivor.

“And I have heard about the fourteen-year-old soldier who defeated a general class. It is not an easy feat to pull off, nor is the general a pushover. And also he uses a sword, a real one. So I want you to keep an eye on him as well.” Elohim is the kind of person who keeps friends close and enemies closer.

The network that the people of God’s Palace is so vast that they can keep an eye on each and every person of the world.
