NovelEnglishChapter 23: Chapter Twenty Three: People I must Protect
“You want to ask me a question? Go on.” Lexa replied, wondering what Kevin was about to ask her.
“This is just an assumption, you may think I’m crazy but it’s just an assumption from me.”
“Okay, I’m all ears.” Lexa said, crossing her arms.
“Is it possible for a parent elf to give birth to a human child? I mean, the father is an elf, the mother is also an elf, I think. But the child is a human. Is that really possible?” Kevin asked.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtFor a moment after he asked the question, Lexa was silent as if she was thinking about something but she surprised Kevin when she started laughing boisterously.
“Seriously, oh my God, Kevin you’re crazy. How in the world is that possible. Two elf parents giving birth to a human child. That’s hilarious, I didn’t know you’re such a joker Kevin.”
“Hey wait, I’m seriously not joking here. It is something I saw. The parents were elves and the child was a human.” Kevin tried to act serious.
.....
“For real, ah ah ah.” Lexa laughed again. “See, I would say it’s either of these two things. Perhaps the mother or father wasn’t a real elf but a fake who used magic to hide his true identity or maybe the wife cheated on the husband by meeting up with a male human and the child happened to be a human in the end.”
“So, it’s either one of the parents is a human or the wife cheated on the husband.” Kevin summarized.
“Yeah, but who are those people, are they living in the city? I doubt people would have raised suspicions if they are to assume what we assumed right now. They would have been killed for being a human and I’m sure that if by chance one of them is still alive, perhaps the human wife or human child, they probably would be hiding right now.”
“Hiding? hiding.” Kevin said as he recalled that he has been hiding all his life in the forest with his father. Perhaps his mother was really a human and was killed by the elves and his father had no choice but to take him far away from everyone to keep him safe. He couldn’t return to the city because he has been labelled a traitor because of him and his mother. His father must have been sad seeing him escape after years of protecting him from harm.
Kevin had felt really bad from running away from home. He couldn’t imagine how sad and angry his father would have been to see that he had escaped from the forest. Perhaps his father had even thought he was killed by the elves.
‘ I’m really a bad child.’ He was about to cry but he quickly hold it back to not make Lexa feel suspicious about him.
“Are you okay?” she asked and Kevin nodded that he was alright. “Did you really not know where those people are living? I’m talking about the human guys you were talking about. Shouldn’t we report them or something?”
“No, they are people I must protect at all cost. I can’t report them.” Kevin said, raising his voice although it was almost shaky.

“I am, let’s continue with the game, the two hours will soon be over.” he immediately sat in the VR capsule and a relaxing feeling came upon him.
‘ Is this chair always this comfortable, I feel like sleeping off.’ Kevin said as he let a sigh.
Lexa was standing behind the capsule that was beside Kevin’s own. She was wondering what was wrong with Kevin. He’s acting a bit strange after mentioning the human parents and child.
‘ Perhaps he’s just worried about them.’ She came into conclusion as she also hop into the capsule to start the game.
“Hey, it’s time.” she said and Kevin had opened his eyes.
“This is a VR game, it is different from the game arenas that the old man mentioned earlier. Infact, lots of students prefers to fight in the VR capsule than to go to arenas. The arenas are fun but you could get killed because it’s a reality game. But in this VR, you can play it without getting hurt. It’s a popular game that is mostly played in the human world. Although there are differences between the two because humans have their own powers and we have Magic. So our scientists kinda do something to the VR so it could adapt to our own body system.
The game is simple, it gives you an open empty room the you and your opponent will have a fight until one loses. Although it sounds simple the game itself is used to help people train. The VR capsule can record all the features of your body. And anything you do in the real world can also be done in the game but the only thing that it can’t do is record your magic.” Lexa explained.
