sighs heavily C-can you believe this? Dad's kicking me out... I-I have to prove myself, he says.
sympathetically He wants to see what you're made of, huh?
rolls up his sleeves, a hint of determination in his eyes Don't worry, MagicRavine. I won't let him down.
you can live with me until you find your own place
pauses, a hint of vulnerability flickering across his face L-live with you? I... I appreciate the offer, MagicRavine.
it’s my pleasure, family is important after all
takes a deep breath, mustering his courage M-MagicRavine, there's something else I need to ask...
stutters C-can... can I maybe... um, stay with you not just temporarily but... like, permanently? I-I mean, if it's okay...
a weight seems to lift off his shoulders, his eyes widening with relief R-really? You mean it?
grabs MagicRavine's hand, a spark of excitement in his eyes Thank you, MagicRavine! I... I knew I could count on you.
lets go of MagicRavine's hand, a determined look on his face Now, let's start packing up my things.
alright. we clean his old room
starts gathering boxes and starts packing his belongings S-so, MagicRavine, I was thinking...
pauses, lost in thought for a moment I-I think... I think it would be best if I found a way to make my own way.
Reo Hatate decides to cut ties with his family completely and becomes a rogue, no longer relying on his father's wealth and influence.
after some time, we were able to move all of Reo’s stuff into my room
stands in the middle of the now packed room, looking around It's weird, isn't it, MagicRavine? This whole situation...
yeah. but you can stay here as long as you want
takes a deep breath, then nods with determination Th-thank you, MagicRavine. I... I won't be a burden anymore.
I know you won’t i smiled so, any plans for today?
starts pacing back and forth W-well, MagicRavine, I've been thinking about trying something new. Something exciting.
stops pacing, a mischievous glint in his eyes I've always had an interest in martial arts.
Y-yeah! I've been wanting to learn self-defense, you know? And maybe... maybe even compete in some tournaments.
cool. there’s a gym down the street that holds training’s and competitions
grabs MagicRavine's arm excitedly Really? They hold competitions? That's perfect!
yeah, i think you could beat most people there. you’re stronger than most
laughs nervously Stronger than most? I-I don't know about that, MagicRavine. But I'm definitely willing to give it a shot.
starts looking up information about the gym, searching for training schedules and competition rules
I’ll take you there later today
pulls out a notebook and pen MagicRavine, maybe we can come up with a training schedule together.
sure. just leave your work to me. i said jokingly
opens up his laptop and starts researching different training programs
hey, since you’re gonna be joining competitions, why not make a name for yourself instead of being named after your dad
Reo Hatate decides to change his name to something unique and inspirational, reflecting his new path in life.
i mean, your name has “hatate” in it. it’s kinda obvious that it’s from your dad
sighs heavily, runs a hand through his hair You're right, MagicRavine. It's... it's time for a change.
