章 3: 3 A Cliche Story
"Mom"
Upon hearing the unfamiliar yet familiar voice of a woman coming from the fish, my mouth involuntarily uttered the word 'mom'. Not only that, I was overwhelmed with my, or rather, Jadel's, rising emotions of anger, sadness, and happiness.
"Why are you showing up now?" I don't know why, but that's the only thing I can think of and ask her about now.
"Jade… You know that I can't go against your father's word; it's the best for you too," she said, as her tone turned sorrowful.
Upon mentioning the word Father, my body trembled as a new emotion took over my body… fear, 'what the fuck? It's my first time feeling this much fear. What the fuck did his father do to his child? At the time, memories of Jadel surfaced.
Composing myself and controlling Jadel's emotions, I asked, "State your purpose, mother." Her voice continued.
"I know you are angry, but you are my son, and I have obligations to look after you. I don't have much time, so I'll be quick. Inside the box, there is an artifact. Although it's an E rank artifact, it's the best artifact for your eye I can find under your father's watchful gaze. Be safe and don't cause trouble for your brother and sister."
Blub! Blub!
The transmission cut off, leaving me puzzled. I didn't want to get involved with the Wayner family. Because they kicked Jadel out of the family and stripped his Wayner name, I thought they would never get involved with me. 'His mother still loves him, huh? I can feel worry in her voice. Strangely, my heart felt warm.'
"Jadel's emotions are overtaking me. Since I only took over yesterday, I can't say that I have complete control of my body just yet. It will take some time."
Thinking of what kind of ability the artifact possessed, I approached the box. Grabbing it, I opened the box, revealing a blue prosthetic eye. "A prosthetic eye artifact, that's good. I can change it when I get a high-ranking one. Since my mot– Jadel's mother bought this, it might be good.
After removing my eye patch, I picked up the artifact and went to the mirror. Looking at the empty eye socket, I shuddered a little.
Taking a deep breath, I slowly put the prosthetic eye in. "Done… but why can't I see anything with it" thinking a bit, I got the answer.
"Ah, I need to put mana in it." Slowly, I poured mana into the artifact. After some seconds passed, an unbearable pain came in the right eye slot, catching me off guard. I screamed.
"Arghhaa!" Screaming, I tried to take out the prosthetic eye, but that only worsened the pain. After some time passed, the pain slowly faded away.
I Laying on the ground, panting, "Huff-huff... Fuck that hurts." touching my right eye, I mumbled, " It's a fucking soul bound, SHIT, FUC–...sigh, well, beggars can't be choosers. Haa, shit, now I feel sorry for my mo– her"
Slowly getting up, I sat on the ground, cross legged.

"Whoever crafted this, that person shit at naming, mmm…not good, not bad either. Well, what have you expected from an E rank soul bound? All the pain I endured for nothing."
Sitting on the couch, my mind wandered to the pieces of Jadel's memories. Since I'm human, I can't fully check his memories.

In the novel 'Hunter's Of Supreme Royals', Jadel Wayner was the protagonist's wingman. 'Yep, a Wingman.' It all started when he met her at a banquet.
Every year, there is a meeting for the big six families; they gather there to resolve any conflict between them or share information to keep the Zeaya continent safe.
Due to the presence of King Zeaya at the meetings, any potential conflicts among the individuals present are unlikely to occur. Since they can't harm King Zeaya because of his innate skill 'protecter' that protects borders from monster invasions, whose potential is unknown, they have no choice but to obey.
Back to the topic. When Jadel Wayner was 8 years old, it was the first time he met Alicia Asclepius from Asclepius, a family of renowned healers.
And at first sight, he liked her. Her light blonde hair is tied in a pigtail. Her light brown eyes reflected her innocence. Wearing a pink princess dress, she looked adorable.
Finding an opportunity, Jadel approached her and initiated a conversation.
"Ex–excuse me, wh–what is your name? ''he stammered and looked at her with a blush.
Alicia Asclepius turned to see an unknown boy. It was her first time conversing with a boy of her age, and she stammered too. "A–Alicia Asclepius, what's your name?" She said it shyly and looked straight into Jadel's eyes with her innocent eyes.
In that moment, Jadel felt like his heart was pierced by an arrow and touched his heart 'cu–cute, she's so cute' Jadel turned and took a deep breath, releasing it quietly.
Turning around, he said his name. "My name is Jadel, Jadel Wayner," he said Wayner proudly. The girl nodded at him and smiled.
"Are you new here? I don't remember seeing you," he asked her, feeling excited.
She nodded at him and said, "It's my first time here." He wanted to talk more but was interrupted by a beautiful woman who looked similar to her.
"Ho, Alicia, here you are," she said, looking at Jadel. "Ho, you made a friend," the woman asked Alicia.
Alicia nodded and introduced Jadel.
"He is Jadel Wayner." Looking at Jadel, she introduced the woman "Jadel. This is my mom." Jadel nodded at her and politely greeted her with a smile, but his thoughts raced 'Friend, she called me friend. Hehehe. We are friends now'
"I'm sorry, young man; it's time for us to go." His honeymoon trip was interpreted, as he was jolted out of his thoughts by her sudden words. Although feeling sad, he bid her goodbye. "Bye, see you next time." Alicia also bid farewell and left.
This continued for 6 years. As it continued, his love turned into an obsession.
One year before the academy started, Jadel was kicked out of the house for unknown reasons. 'One thing I'm sure of is that Jadel is afraid of his father.
Jadel's father, Drake Wayner, is a perfectionist. He despised the weak and approved of the strong. That's one of the reasons his father hates him.
Drake trained his kids like there was no tomorrow and punished mistakes harshly because he was the weakest of all the siblings. Drake targeted him; the punishment traumatized him so much that a mere mention of his father made him tremble. Drake has three wives and six children, including Jadel. All of his brothers and sisters' potential is higher than his.
His biological sister is at the highest level, the same as his father's SSS- rank.
As she is following in her father's footsteps, she also dislikes weak people. This led to her hating him and bullying him. And all of this leads to Jadel's current behavior, which makes him kind of crazy. All his support was from his mother.
When he entered the Supreme Royal Academy, he saw Alicia being friendly with the protagonist. As he saw that, he felt jealous but didn't do anything, but that changed when people started to spread rumors that they might be dating or liking each other.
This hit his jealousy max number; he did everything in his arsenal to separate them, but that only strengthened it; he challenged the protagonist only to be face-slapped.
Since Jadel was from a renowned family before they disowned him, it only helped Asher Blake to increase his reputation.
As he couldn't do anything to the protagonist, he forced himself on Alicia. Although Alicia was a combat type far stronger than him, she didn't hurt him because of how naive and innocent she is. She considered him a friend. That's when he infuriated every main character. Making MC snap and brutally beating him up. That's when she started to respect and admire him, and as the days passed, it slowly turned into affection.
"He shouldn't have done that. But what I didn't get is why they kicked him out of the house. I know he's a troublemaker, but not to the extent of kicking him out. Well, he is, but if he did nasty things,his mother wouldn't be concerned about him."
I can't understand why they kicked him out, and some of his memories are blurry. As this body doesn't have a photographic memory to remember everything, I can't remember all his memories.
"They said he was crazy and had some problems in the head, as his personality will flip sometimes. That's what they said before kicking him out.
Well, it's not my problem anymore. I just want to live a good life, that's all.
"Since I have A- rank potential, I can enter the tower of the unknown and obtain the elixir of life to heal my mana veins. But the qualification to enter is C rank; limit A rank. How do I increase my rank in two years?"
It's a tower that helps people grow strong in many ways. You can find skills, spells, rare herbs, minerals, etc. Most of them will be students who enter it because the academy's made sure that the younger generation becomes more powerful than the older ones.
"Tomorrow, my academy life will begin. How do I endure all the deeds Jadel did?" I slowly closed my eyes, thinking about tomorrow, and fell asleep.
