Shame of section
At dawn, Rohen began his daily task of sweeping the outer disciple quarters. Suddenly, he felt a forceful kick from behind that sent him flying into a nearby wall. The commotion attracted the attention of other disciples who gathered around Rohen. When he opened his eyes, his vision was blurry and he couldn't identify who had kicked him.
"Trash Rohen, you are a disgrace to our section and you are sweeping in my way," a voice shouted from behind.
"It was Lee, right?" one of the outer disciples recognized the disciple who kicked Rohen.
"Is it Lee Rock, the son of the Rock family? He is a true genius, already at the awakened spirit realm eight at the young age of twelve. He achieved his spirit link when he was at awakened spirit realm four," another disciple said proudly, admiring Lee's power.
"Lee, you mean the guy with the spirit of the blade?" asked another disciple.
"Yes," confirmed the previous speaker, named Amy Transon.
Lee Rock is a young member of the Rock family, a third-class high-level family living in Azure City.
Lee looked at Amy and was about to speak when suddenly a voice interrupted them. "Why did you kick me?" It was Rohen, his face dispirited and blood coming from his mouth.
Lee responded arrogantly, "Trash Rohen, you are a disgrace to this section. When this young master is in urgent matters, you are blocking my way and wasting my time. And now you dare to ask why I kicked you?"
A loud voice interrupted them, "Hey, what's happening here?" All the disciples turned to see who it was. It was one of the elders, Master Rock.
Lee quickly explained, "Master, when I was coming to you, this trash Rohen blocked my way and was causing problems. He wasted my time and interrupted my urgent matters." Lee wore a sly smile as he spoke.
The elder said, "Rohen, 10 credits have been deducted from your account for undisciplined behavior in the section. Please provide me with your tag."
His heart skipped a beat when Rohen took 10 credits from my monthly work allowance. He seemed shocked by the reaction.
"Rohen, you're not listening to your elder. Give me your tag," Elder Rock asked loudly.
Rohen gave his tag to the elder, who then deducted the credits and returned the tag with a stern warning, "Don't make this mistake again or I will report you to the committee for severe punishment." The elder then left.
Currently, Rohen only has three credits in his account and he needs two more credits to submit to the winner of the weekly competition that will take place in five days. Unfortunately, he has no money for food for the entire month.
"Don't show me your face, trash," said Lee as he walked away with his master. Amy followed along behind Lee.
Lee did not have any medicine for his wounds, so he decided to go to Azure Town and offer his services in exchange for food.
Rohen was walking towards Azure City, pondering on how he could procure food for the month and become stronger. He grew frustrated with how weak he felt. Lost in his thoughts, he accidentally wandered into the mountains. He kept walking until he stumbled upon a stone, injuring his leg and falling unconscious into a valley.
