CHAPTER 2

• WARNING ⚠️SOME SENSITIVE CONTENT BELOW, READ AT YOUR OWN CAUSE.•

The main school building is located in the middle of the school territory, the girls dormitory (senior and junior) is located in the East side of the schools territory which is close from the WALLS, while the boys dormitory (senior and junior) is in the opposite side, the training area is behind the main school building, and the female teachers have their own rooms in the girl dormitory, the same thing for the male teachers, they are there to keep watch on students.

Me and jima never saw what's beyond the WALLS, we want to know what's "outside", we know that we are being reckless, we might get severely punished for what we're about to do, but me and jima will risk it all, just once... We want to see it in advance, we only have 1 year till we officially become warriors.

When did it start? When me and jima started wanting to know what's beyond the WALLS? Ah! That's right, it all started when our father became a warrior…

The three of us was really close to each other, our father was our inspiration, and we wanted to be like him someday, a respectable warrior, back then the warriors was full of bull craps and was all prideful because they have noble duties that was bestowed upon them and they think they're all that. But my father was one of the exceptions, everyone loved him and respected him, he was considered soft hearted among the warriors, even with that title he was still feared by the warriors and never dared to pick a fight with him.

My father… As time has passed he begins to act differently. Me and Jima are still doing our best to someday go outside and see all the stories our father always tells us every night time. But father suddenly stopped doing that, and started requesting breaks from the higher ups, me and jima was very confused about what our father was thinking about, we didn't get it, days after we finally found the courage to ask him about it.

My father looked haggard like he hadn't slept for days, dark eye bags under his eyes, cracked lips, and he was also thinner.

"Father, why are you not going?" I ask him.

And he answered me "what do you mean? Jina?"

"Didn't you know that everyone knows you're not doing your duties? I thought you said those were noble duties? What are you doing lazing around?" Jima said in frustration, it was true that everyone is talking behind our backs, everyone has been picking on us for having a lazy father, they have completely forgotten all the good things my father did, and found a perfect time to find dirt on us. Of course we kept quiet, we didn't want our father to worry and we were so sure that our father had a valid reason why he was acting this way.

"..." Father kept quiet after hearing what Jima said to him. I broke the ice by asking him "father, can you tell us your reasons? We are your daughters after all you can tell us anything." I smiled at him to reassure him.

"Alright I'll tell you, then will you lend me your ears?"

"Of course."

"It all started… months ago, when I was on duty, and as usual, I was killing demons…

And I encountered a particular demon, he was different from the other demons I've met so far. I was curious, but I knew better so I didn't let my curiosity get the best of me. I Was about to kill him, but the demons spoke our language." When my father kept on referring to the demon as him and not as it, I was confused, why would he refer to those demons as if it was a person? But I was more shocked when I heard my father say that the demon could speak human language.

I ask myself, do demons portray this kind of knowledge too? Were they thought of by a human by chance? These were the only possible reasons that I could think of, but I thought the latter was impossible, demons are known to get pleasure from slaughtering humans, they don't eat them.

father continued "when I heard it speaking our language, I thought I was hallucinating. A demon speaking in human language, that's not right? That's what I ask myself at those moments, I was just as confused as you are, the demon was begging for it's life, it seemed like it didn't know how to fight, it was a very weak demon, I could have easily killed it. That demon was hiding another demon on his back, it was a child demon, the older demon begged not to kill the child and to let them go. He said along the lines.

"P-please fellow wa-w-warrior, don't kill me. This little fellow only have me, s-she is w-way too young to live in this cruel world alone, i-I'm begging you plea–"

"He was trembling and I could barely understand him because he was too scared, and I didn't want to listen to him any longer. I felt like if I did I wouldn't be able to kill him... so I immediately slaughtered him… I still remembered the face the child made. She was traumatized, but I didn't let that get to me, and killed her in a blink of an eye."

"As time went by, I found myself, playing myself back to that day, I felt very guilty, I felt like it was wrong, it didn't felt noble anymore, it was just… murder." Father's eyes were red, he was about to cry, but kept it in.

"Jina, jima, I don't want you to be warriors, the both of you are very talented individuals, I'm sure you can fit in anywhere… just don't choose the path that I took, I- I don't want you to be like me." Father looked like he was genuinely worried for us, but we were already have our mind to be a warrior, we don't know anything else, I did felt a little sad for that demon, but at the same time I felt like it was the right thing to do, sooner or later that child demon could grow up and s*******r humans.

but my father's story just built a lot of questions that I am willing to sell my soul for answers, I was intrigued, I mean... We were intrigued about it, for the first time in our life, we were against our fathers wish.

Months after our talk with father, we found out that father committed–
