Bab 178: Hunger [2]

It has been around 20 days since we came to this godforsaken mountain. Throughout our entire stay here, I have not been given a single thing to eat.

I am on the brink of death. This isn't an exaggeration. I really do feel like I could drop dead any moment now. 

But even then, the red-haired jerk isn't pitying me.

If I collapse from starvation and refuse to move, Leo would beat me.

If I refuse to train, Leo would beat me.

If I do train and spar with him, Leo would beat me.

I'm no lawyer or legal expert, but doesn't this qualify as some form of child abuse? 

Even though I'm 18 and considered an adult, it still can be called abuse, right?!

Well, on a positive note, Leo claims that my Martial Arts skills have lately been improving. 

However, I am too famished to notice any improvements or progress myself.

It's a strange sensation. 

I never imagined anyone could feel this way, but here I am.
