From the beginning, I knew the obvious fact.
There is no point in saving someone who is bullied if done in half.
If you are not around, the one you save will only be severely tortured by the bullies.
To survive bullying, it takes self-awareness from the bullied to rise up and fight against his own oppressive.
I can see again how Abel Lundoln was beaten in the back of the academy building by Mulyadi Murhahan and his friends.
Mulyadi Murjahan, owner of A1 sequence number.
He was the best in his class based on his previous ability test.
However, he with his talent was still unable to match Abel to get into the superior class in AHNI.
Mulyadi and Abel are both from the northwestern island of Nias.
There it seems that Mulyadi is the son of an important noble, while for him the non-noble Abel is nothing.
In hunter school, Mulyadi can also enter the superior class easily, while Abel who comes from a lowly status cannot enter it.
It is natural in some places in Indonesia that still curb the talents of the students just because it is based on their social status.
At least only the central island of Celebes and the southwestern island of Java do not do this.
If an island is ruled by several nobles, it will easily happen kongkalikong so there will be some nepotism in it.
Unlike the case if such as on Celebes Island and Java which is only controlled by one or two large families only.
There is no need for there to be a kongkalikong since everything can be mastered alone.
But that is precisely the cause of the rules to be easier to enforce.
Apparently, Mulyadi could not accept why he had to be eliminated from the superior class because of the existence of Abel.
If Abel had not existed, then he as the owner of the rank just below him would have enjoyed prestige in the superior class.
That's why he snubbed Abel.
Abel's existence has removed Mulyadi from his dreams.
From the very beginning he knew that it was no longer useful to bully Abel since when the class had been decided, you would no longer be able to switch classes until you graduated from this academy.
He knew everything, but decided to keep doing it because he just couldn't stand it and wanted to vent all his frustrations to Abel.
It was because Abel looked so weak that he did not think twice about oppressing him.
They did not know that the weak body was just an early sign of Abel's awakening as a werewolf.
He was accepted into the academy in the top class because of the huge potential of the Abel pool, even the distance from the second largest Julian Gerfinda is still like heaven and earth.
Though in fact, Abel's true value will appear on his physical prowess after he is awakened.
Unfortunately to awaken his power, Abel had to be a bad person.
Anger, arrogance, humiliation, and various other bad emotions, that became the fuel for the awakening of Abel's power.
The oppression that could push Abel mentally was at its worst could certainly be the most effective way to awaken that power.
Unfortunately, that only applies if Abel's nature is not gentle.
In fact, he is a typical person who looks like he would rather die hurt than have to go back to hurt his opponent.
Yes, he is also typical of idiots like Arno, even worse because if it was Arno, he would still choose to fight, he said, it was just that he would be merciful to treat his opponent's injuries afterwards.
I can't ignore it.
At least, I want to say what I need to tell him.
After the bullying, I approached Abel again in battered condition.
“Enak beaten?”
“If you keep quiet, they will only continue to mistreat you even until you are dying.”
“Do you fear them so much because of their family?”
“You're afraid that if you fight, they will mess with your family at home?”
“Hey, as you know, the laws in Indonesia today are not so weak!”
“The nobles also can not do anything to innocent commoners.”
“Even the government is now intensifying the equalization program to abolish the terms of nobility and commoners in the country.”
“Just what is, you can die from being constantly beaten like this.”
“And if you die, who would be most sad if it wasn't your family, huh?!”
Abel was long silent after listening to my utterances to him.
After all, I had no intention of intervening more deeply in the affairs of others that were obviously of no benefit to me.
They are former nobles who actually also fought in the revolution against the imperialists in forming the Unitary Republic of Indonesia so that it also deserves the same prestige as other noble families who are still victorious until now because they did not run away from their responsibilities when the revolution occurred.
So why was the Lundoln family ostracized after contributing to the revolution?
After I investigated, it was apparently due to the influence of the Annexia family.
Yeah, Lisanna's family.
One explanation, as an ancient family, they likely knew the origins of the Lundoln family.
For vampire hunters, the existence of vampires and werewolves is the same, both enemies that must be eradicated.
But the Lundoln family is a half werewolf half human.
Human rights also apply to the Lundoln family, while they have also been very helpful to the revolutionary struggle in Indonesia.
That was why the Annexia family finally decided to let the Lundoln family live, but instead, instead, their rights of glory after the victory of the revolution were confiscated and by all means the Annexia family devised a scheme so that the descendants of the Lundoln family would become weak and no longer be aware of the whereabouts of their werewolf blood.
In a sense, it's too risky if I get too close to Abel.
I turned and left Abel in that place.
It was not that he could not walk to the health room by himself, despite having to limp in though.
I never had the responsibility to take care of that fool.
I will only end up being her nurse if this cycle repeats itself without her having the determination to change it.
That's why I'd better leave her before my affixion to her gets deeper.
However, Abel who had been silent for a long time, suddenly made a sound.
“What do you know about my situation?!”
“Our family is very poor and we even we have to always worry about what we can eat to survive!”
“Then I found out I had talent where a very large pool exceeded the property of others that allowed me to get a scholarship to attend this place, get free food and education, etc, how happy my parents are, do you know?!”
“How happy I am to see finally a glimmer of hope in the eyes of my parents when they see their children able to study in a prestigious place like AHNI, do you know?!”
“You know absolutely nothing about me and just chattering at will!”
“What if if if I fight back, the academy will blame me and then get me out, how can I feel the disappointment of my parents?!”
“I just want to live quietly in this academy, study, graduate, then become an income hunter to support my parents, but why do people like them always bother me?!”
“After all you have told me to fight, but how can I who is weak against the swaying of all those stout children?!”
“I am weak and have nothing, that's why I chose silence, so please don't say such a thing to me again.”
“Lagian, you are always protected by the warmth of family, how can you understand my suffering.”
Along with Abel's outburst of anger, System notifications suddenly appeared.
Your popularity points are increased by 120 points thanks to the affection of Abel Lundoln, 19 years old, on you.
Value may increase if you help address the Abel Lundoln issue directly.
Popularity 1017 --> 1237
My popularity points increased drastically in the early days after becoming Arno.
But when it reached 1017, that value had long since not increased anymore.
And all of a sudden, it had increased drastically by 120 points?
Plus it will increase even more if I help address Abel's problem directly?
Now, how could I not be tempted to help Abel.
“You weak? Don't joke, Abel Lundoln! You just don't know how to awaken your power.”
“What's..”
“How about I teach you how to awaken your hidden power?”
“Means?”
“If what you are worried about is the safety of your family, as long as you show good results in your strength training, the Rosechild family can protect your family.”
“We can even bring you all stay in Sunda Palapa City alone to protect you.”
“Both of my parents will also definitely not refuse since they are the ones who value strength more than anyone.”
“Well, how, Abel? Are you interested in changing your miserable fate with my help?”
I reached out to Abel and Abel accepted.
With the lure of popular points, I was once again trapped by the System's trap to help Abel become stronger.
