The Author's POV

Chapter 614

The scenery outside of the window kept shifting as the car continued to move through the streets of Ashton city.

There was an unusual silence inside the car as it passed each street.

"Are you okay?"

The silence was only broken by Amanda's voice, which contained hints of worry.

"...If you're worried about my safety, you shouldn't be. I'm about to reach rank soon. I can hold my ow—"

"That's not it."

I cut her off before she could continue speaking.

I then turned my attention in her direction.

"Your safety isn't what is bothering me. I already know just how strong you are. There's no need for me to protect you."

Amanda was one of the last people that needed my protection.

Not only that, but her strength wasn't anything to scoff at. Even I would have trouble fighting against her if she started attacking me from a long distance.

She was the worst opponent for me.

"Then what are you worried about?"

"My strength."

I truthfully replied. Lowering my head to gaze at my hands, I quietly whispered.

"...I need more strength."

I was strong, yet so weak at the same time.

If only I could become stronger, faster...

Sadly, time wasn't on my side. With only two years left, I didn't see much hope in the dark tunnel that I was walking in.

Nonetheless, I still continued to walk. I had no choice but to.

"..."

Amanda didn't say anything after overhearing my words.

Her gaze was on me, but she didn't say anything. It seemed as though she understood my sentiments.

The last thing I heard from her throughout the ride back home was her soft whisper.

"Me too..."
