1 Owen Knight

*Aghh*

He yelled as he was punched and was sent tumbling down to the ground.

The blonde squatted down next to the man who he had just punched, "The next time you try something like this with her. I won't end it with just this."

Suddenly, the entire atmosphere of the party was turned upside down as the birthday boy who was celebrating his sweet sixteen was punched right on his nose.

"Ahh! Fuck! I am bleeding!!" he yelled as he covered his nose with his hand.

""Owen!! you bastard!!""

2 people came running towards the scene and went to aid the fallen kid.

"Hey Will! you alright man?" they asked

"Fuck! does it look like I am alright?! I am fucking bleeding god damnit!! Bring a first aid kit you idiots!!" Will yelled at his 2 sidekicks who went running into the house.

"Owen! What happened?"

"Why did you punch him?"

2 more people joined the fray. One was Mark, Owen's best friend while the other was Mark's girlfriend Elsa.

"Oh, Hey guys! I didn't knew you two were here as well." Owen replied with a cheerful smile as he waved at the two.

"Yeah Hi. So, what is going on?" Elsa asked

"Well this fucking idiot here spiked Emily's drink and drugged her."

""What!!"" Both Mark and Elsa were left shocked at this news.

'Will' is known for getting close to girls, hitting on a new girl everyday and pulling weird pranks on them since he always gets away because he is rich. But no one thought that he would be brave enough to actually do that to Emily or more specifically to Owen's girlfriend.

"Damn!" Mark exclaimed

"I say punch him a few more times." Elsa said which brought a horror to Will's face as his nose had still not stopped bleeding.

"h-Hey O-Owen! Come on man, it was just a harmless little prank. I didn't mean anything bad by it."

"We both know it wasn't just a silly prank. and your sorry ass isn't gonna talk his way out of this shit!" Owen said

"Where is Emily now?" Elsa asked

"I sent her home with Ethan" Owen replied

"That's good" Mark said and moved close to Owen

"I think you should stop here." He said in Owen's ear

"Why?" Owen gave him a side eye and spoke softly

"Come on man you can't seriously break his face. He is Will Doe and you can't get on the Doe family's bad side. Even with your backing." He said still keeping his voice low.

*Haah* 'If only he knew the truth.' Owen thought and sighed helplessly.

"Fine I will let it go but there won't be a next time." Owen threatened

And the three of them walked away from the scene.

"Since Emily isn't here anymore and my mood is ruined, I will just go home now." Owen told the other two.

"Yeah. We should go as well." Elsa turned and told Mark.

"If you are leaving right now, I can drop you guys off." Owen said

"No it's fine. We will go ourselves." Elsa said

"Fine suit yourselves. Bye"

""Bye""

Without waiting any longer, Owen sat in his car and exited the Doe family mansion. And drove to his house.

<1st person POV>

'Oh, What a day.' I thought while driving to my mansion.'

First I got into trouble at school. Then the last minute plan to go to that douche bag's birthday and now this.

I just hope Emily got home safe and her parents didn't find out that she is drunk. Otherwise this would be the last party she will attend.

With that in mind, I quickly called Ethan.

"Hello?"

"Hey! Ethan. Did you and Emily got home safely?" I asked

"Oh yeah! we reached home safely...but..now we are currently at a hospital."

"What?Why?!"

"Well our parents asked why was she unconscious and now I couldn't tell them that she was drunk right? So...I said that she fell down the stairs and mom got paranoid so we are here for her checkup."

".....Dude."

I was absolutely speechless.

"Don't 'Dude' me!! I can't lie under pressure!!"

*Pfft* "Ha ha ha" I burst out laughing.

"Oh shut up" he said clearly annoyed at me laughing at him but I couldn't care less.

He really is the worst liar ever.

"Alright Alright. Just make sure they don't find out that she is drunk okay?"

"...I'll try. Bye"

"Bye."

I hung up the call after that and a few minutes later I was right in front of my house.

[A/N: Imagine the house of Oliver Queen from Arrow]

I parked the car in in front of the door and gave the keys to Joe, the butler to park the car and entered my house.

"Wait did he really punched him?" I heard my sister's voice coming from the living room.

"Yeah I punched him. Broke his nose too." I said as I entered the room.

"Yeah he is here. I will call you later. Bye" she said and ended the call.

"So you attended a party for the first time in the past 2 years and broke the nose of the birthday boy just an hour into it?" she said as she got comfortable on the couch.

"Yeah well that's my style" I said

"Lame" she said disdainfully

"Who were you talking too?" I tried changing the subject

"Oh no one just the spy I placed on you" She said

"Yeah right. We both know it's Mark. He is like the only friend you have who is not from our group." I said as I hopped onto the couch sitting beside her to watch some TV

"Hey at least I am not running out there fooling around with a commoner." She said

"Hey watch it!! I am not fooling around. I am serious in my relationship with Emily." I defended

"Yeah well good luck convincing Mom and Dad about it."

"Well if I speak to her about it every single day, I am pretty sure that I can convince Mom in a few years time. As for Dad well....I don't care what he thinks." my tone got pretty sad at the end.

The room got filled with awkward silence for a while until she decided to change the subject.

"Well speaking of.....Dad, he wanted to talk to you and is waiting for you in your room."

".....Wow you are terrible at changing the subject aren't you."

She was about to defend herself but I immediately cut her off.

"Wait he is in MY ROOM!!" I yelled and ran to my room

"Don't worry I already hid those photos!" I heard my sister's screaming

"Thank you. I owe you one!" I yelled back

I still went to my room to just get this over with.

"Dad! Funny seeing you here and not cheating on Mom with your hot assistant." I said as I walked into the room.

*Hahh* "That was 5 years ago! I have already apologised hundreds of times. Can't you let that go already?"

"Nope" I replied immediately

"Look....At that time your Mom and I had our differences okay? we fought with each other almost every single day. But we have been trying to work on it for the past few years. For you-"

"Just tell me what you want to talk about because I don't want to hear that same thing again and again."

"Then why do you keep bringing it up again and again?"

"Because whenever I see you, the image of you and your assistant doing it in your office surfaces in my mind. And OH MY GOD IT'S BACK AGAIN." I yelled and started massaging my forehead.

"Well I don't know what to do about that." he said

"Here is a solution. When you want to speak to me, just text me." I said

"I DID TEXT YOU BUT YOU JUST NEVER RESPOND!!!"

"Then take a hint already. Don't be a creep."

"...."

Yup he is defeated, I won.

After taking a few seconds he said again

"...Listen I only came here because it is important. Otherwise I wouldn't have come back here. This house is for you and your sister only."

"Just take this. This came for you." he said and handed me a white envelope whose stamp was immediately recognised by me.

"Fuck! Those bastards really sent it." I cursed

"Yeah, well you are gonna have to attend those 'bastard's' school in a week." he said and started walking in the room and came close to my nightstand.

'Shit! That is worse!'

Picking up what seemed to be a bracelet from a far he asked, "What's this?"

"..."

'Damnit Charlotte what's the point of hiding the photos if you don't hide that!!'

"Umm I don't know" I tried to feign ignorance

"YOU THINK I AM A FOOL!! TELL ME WHOSE BRA-STRAP IS THIS?!" he roared

And yes I had Emily's bra-strap in my room because she left it here sometime ago when we were doing some adult stuff together.

She put it on my wrist like a bracelet as a joke and I removed it immediately afterwards thinking of it to be lame. She then forgot to take that with her and I forgot about it being there until just now.

"I TOLD YOU THAT YOU CAN'T DATE HER!! DON'T YOU GET IT!!"

"Hey I understand completely and that's not Emily's besides I broke up with her 2 years ago just like you told me to" I said immediately

I can say all the hateful stuff I want to him even stuff like 'I don't wanna see your face so get out of my room!' but he is dead set on not letting me date a comonn-- a civilian without powers.

Last time he found out about it, we had a big fight. Well not as much of a fight as a unilateral beating and scolding from his side but still it was chaotic.

And his beatings really hurt. I mean he isn't the strongest person in this world but he is one of the top 100 awakened, specifically at 93rd rank.

Now I am sure I can hold my own for a very little while against someone from the early top 200 rankers but Dad is a big deal in the awakened world not a huge deal but still. He is also the chairman of our group, "Light Cavalry".

I am much more talented than he ever was but I still haven't reached the level where I can stand up to him in a fight. I will be able to do that eventually but that is still at least a decade away.

"THEN WHOSE IS IT THEN?!!" he yelled

I can't say that it's Charlotte's right? That would be weird. She is my sister after all.

What should I do? Tell him I had a one night stand with someone and she left it here? Possible but let's think more. A new girlfriend? One that is awakened? That could also work.

"WHY ARE YOU QUIET? WHOSE IS IT?!!"

"Uh- uh....Mine"

Give me break guys I was flustered

"..."

"...."

*pfftt*

I could hear someone laughing outside but decided to ignore it.

"..Yours?" Dad asked with an incredulous look on his face. Clearly not expecting such answer.

I decided to play along, noticing that this reason, however embarrassing, was indeed working.

"Yeah. It's called transitioning. It's a thing people are doing nowadays. It's a new trend. You want to take part too?"

"NO!! AND YOU ARE NOT TAKING A PART IN THAT SHIT EITHER. YOU HEAR ME?"

"Yeah Yeah I mean I am not transitioning or anything...I mean I did say that the bra-strap was mine but it isn't actually mine. See I had Mark over the other day and he left it here.....He is the one who is transitioning."

'Sorry Mark.'

"Oh what a relief!! You know I never liked the vibe of that kid. I always knew there was something wrong with him."

'Pfft.....No wait I can't laugh right now. Just a little while longer.'

"Anyway make sure that none of this affects you in any way."

"Of course. I am not into that stuff at all."

He walked closer to me and grabbed my shoulder and said, "Good! And listen to me there are only 2 genders in this world. You hear me?"

"Yess"

"Never forget it."

"Of course."

He walked closer to the door but suddenly turned and said in suspicion, "wait...doesn't Mark have a girlfriend?"

'Oh shit. I didn't think he would remember.'

"Yeah.. well....you see.....Elsa....just recently found out that she is a lesbian" I said

'Sorry Elsa.'

"....."

'Why the hell is he not saying anything?'

"Ah what the fuck is happening to this generation." he said in annoyance and grabbed his temples.

He then said goodbye and then left.

Charlotte had already ran all the way down and pretended like she had no idea what we talked about. As Dad said goodbye to her too.

And well you know what, I just realised that I am actually pretty good at maintaining a poker face.

As I was about to close the door, I saw Charlotte outside.

We both just burst out laughing.

***

After just talking for a while, she noticed the white envelope on my bed.

"Wait is this?...Are you?" she said not believe what was happening.

"Yupp. They invited me themselves so I kind of have to go now." I said

"I see"

She was clearly sad about it but there is nothing I can do about it now.

"Hey do one thing for me while I am there" I asked

"What?"

"Look after Emily will you. I am pretty sure that 'Will' will try something again."

"Hey I can do that much. But how exactly are you gonna tell her about this?"

"I will just say that my folks are forcing me to switch schools and sending me overseas.....wait....which country is WAA in?" I asked

"England" she replied

"Yeah. Then it's overseas. I'll just tell her that."

"Well I guess that works."

"Don't worry. You will probably be attending that place from next year as well." I said

"I hope not."

We spoke a little more for a while until I kicked her out of the room because she started annoying me.

*Beep*

I got a text as soon as I was about to sleep. I checked it and it was from Ethan.

"..What the...?"

Well if they didn't find out about it, I guess that's okay.

<okay> I replied and went to bed again

'Oh well since my sleep has already been broken let's check it. It has been a while anyway.'

"System show me my stats"

[Name: Owen Knight]

[Age: 16]

[Height: 180cm]

[Weight: 72Kg]

[Ability: Haki (Physical manifestation of your will)]

[Observation Haki: Intermediate level]

[Armament Haki: Intermediate level]

[Conqueror's Haki: (Locked)]

[Skills: 1) Soru

2) Sky Walk

3) Tekkai

4) Divergent Fist

5) Heal]

Hmm....I have come a long way in these past 16 years. I managed to awaken two forms of Haki and even managed to create 3 of the rokushiki techniques on my own. And I have also managed to create one technique from Jujutsu Kaisen.

If I can create a strong healing technique as well, then I will basically be unstoppable. But it has to be a technique I can use while fighting simultaneously. Otherwise it will be useless besides I have already learned a way to heal myself and others but I have to put so much focus on it that I can't do anything else.

So, I can't use that mid battle. Even outside of the battle, it is a weak healing technique.

..I thought about my strengths and how I can become even stronger until realising that it was getting really late and decided to sleep.
