14 years old.

So, it's been a long time since Trev started lecturing me…. 4 years, it took him 4 years to teach me chemistry, science, and math. The information he gave me was something I didn't find in Elise's books.

The fucker didn't give me no time to relax, he only gave me some afternoons to relax, he did say that I had the knowledge of what a college student's in his world would learn in my head, so I've basically graduated.

Yes, he did tell me the truth about why he is in my head, but he didn't tell me anything about himself, his family, or his friends; when I asked him about that he'd always go silent.

The Internet was so useful, I had all the knowledge I needed to know stored for me somewhere in case I wanted it.

'14…15…16…17..18!' Oh and now, I was doing some muscle-ups, I learned about calisthenics when I asked Trev about something that could make me stronger. The muscles also helped to define me as a man instead of a woman because of my girly face.

"Hey, Silius, wanna hang out?" Said a coarse voice.

I hate this person, fucker already has a mustache when he's 14, my face is as smooth as a baby's bum.

"Yeah, hold on, Ugran!" I said as I picked up a towel and wiped my sweaty face.

I left the garden, yes it's still dead as shit, it had no hope of getting fixed. Even if we could fix it and planted something in the soil, thieves would just come and steal those veggies, oh, and the chickens, we didn't care about them, they were sick anyway, and the eggs they laid were shit. Trev remarked that during every breakfast.

People would even steal those chickens but for some reason they didn't, they looked ugly either way, maybe that's the reason.

Elise isn't home to annoy me anymore, she went to a magic school in the inner part of the city.

She got lucky as a general passed through the outer part, gathering every person from 18 to 16 that had an open core to join the military high school so that they'll partake in the war.

An open core is basically what gives people the mana to cast spells and such. The type of skills they could cast all depended on their personality and bloodline. Let's leave that subject for a later time, as I don't have much knowledge in that department.

I wore some simple clothes and go out of the house.

"You've got beaten up again?" I raised an eyebrow at his bruised face.

"Yeah, bro, gangsters surrounded me and beat me up." He replied, his face red from shame and anger.

"For fuck's sake, you know we can't deal with those gangs now." I sighed, in the outer area of the city there wasn't only poverty, gangs, and loan sharks roaming the place, most of them worked for the nobles in the inner area.

We didn't make a gang of our own, but we sure did love to fight small gangs.

"Let's get your revenge, bud," I said with a smirk as I cracked my knuckles.

Things changed a lot since the beginning of the war. Oh, and about the war, it started 2 years ago, they really want us to suffer don't they, haah. There are not many actions right now, but it could break out at any moment.

Anyways, things changed a lot after the beginning of this Cold War, some were good and some were bad, the good was the outer was a bit more bearable to live in now, don't get me wrong it's still a place for the poor to live in, but things got drastically improved.

The king was changed as the previous one died, the new king seemed to be kind-hearted, so he provided the outer area food and money each month, which allowed multiple shops to open and for people to have a somewhat monthly salary.

So we are indeed happier, but we're still poor.

Oh, the king also built some public utilities such as a hospital and streetlight which is nice, but of course, that didn't change much, workers are way too greedy and are controlled by the newly formed gangs.

Urgan guided me through the streets, I grabbed an iron pipe from the ground, and continued walking, he did the same.

We reached a deserted corner, 3 guys were there. They did indeed look like trouble.

"It's them." Mumbled Urgan.

"Hahaha! This bitch is back for more beating!" Laughed a guy that seemed to be in his 18s.

"Let's go get them, boys, he even brought a friend! HAHAHA!" Added a guy.

The three approached us, they all had brass knuckles equipped.

They looked like goddamn clowns, paper clips placed on their ears as earrings, one of them even had one in his nose. What an embarrassment

"Stay back." I said as I push Urgan back, a sadistic grin occupied my face, I swung my pipe around for a bit, then dashed to them. Taking them by surprise.

"You dare challenge us, shitface? Eat this-" The first guy took the lead, throwing a punch to my face, to which I responded with a fast blow to his face using the pipe, he blacked out.

"The kid took out Evan! Guys come out!" Screamed the guy with a clip on his nose, 7 guys revealed themselves from the dark alley.

"You must be fucking kidding me, Urgan run!" We took a run for it, ain't no way that we can take on 9 guys.

"Chase them, they're trying to run!" Screamed the guy, the feeling of the danger that I felt from that chase was so exciting, the thought of danger made me throb in excitement as we escaped from gangsters. Well, amateur gangsters.

"Don't let them escape! We must avenge Evan!" Screamed a guy, which followed the howling of the gang.

"YEAHHH!" They screamed.

"Let's split up, we'll meet at aunty's house later. Don't get caught!" I laughed as I took a different turn from the direction we ran through.

"They've split up! Four of us go chase that buff kid! We've got this fella!" Screamed the guy who had a clip on his nose.

Ooh, that was a mistake, four guys? HAHAHA! Y'all messed up.

I hid behind a wall, when the first guy was in my reach, I smashed his skull using my bloody pipe.

"I guess it's a 3v1 now, isn't it?" I smirked at the three guys before me, oh boy they were angry.

Two of them advanced, "Your dead meat!" Shouted one of them as they ran to me with bloodshot eyes, one of them held a knife.

One threw a punch and the other one thrust his knife into my stomach.

"Ain't that a sharp object?" I did a back step, leaving them flabbergasted and also open for any attacks as they lost their balance.

I lifted my pipe so high and brought it down on the knife owner's head. He dropped his knife, well he almost did as I grabbed it.

"Still wanna fight?" I asked, smirking while pointing the knife at the guy who tried to punch my pretty face.

"N-no!" He replied, his face was terrified.

"I don't really care about your response." I stabbed the guy's feet, making him kneel screaming, and to shut his mouth, I brought him to sleep using my trusty pipe.

"Now it's time to deal with you-" I was startled, the third guy escaped.
