Chapter 44: Dorm Life

As they agreed, they didn't dare log in. They enjoyed the time away from that hell, people call a game.

Kiro knocked on Hiro's door, this was now their signal that breakfast or dinner was ready. They had slept for 13 hours straight and woke up the next morning. They were rested but not quite ready to dive into Asgard just yet.

They quickly walked down to breakfast, when they entered the hall, it smelled great as always. Hiro thought he'd faint, he ran out without a word, Kiro quickly followed him.

He entered the toilet, after 5 minutes Kiro entered as well. He had vomited everything out, at this point he was puking out a translucent liquid.

"What's the matter?"

"The smell of meat."

Kiro didn't have to think too much, he knew what had caused it. Just a few days ago, Hiro was someone who could eat a whole bucket of meat.

"Its about what you experienced huh? I understand." He sighed and sat beside his friend, whose head was in the toilet.

"It was a nightmare Kiro, it was all great at first then everything changed when dad disappeared. Mum even cooked my dog and—" At that thought, his head quickly went back to the toilet, but nothing came out.

"I also saw something terrible. My family died right in front of my eyes and I couldn't do anything. I tried but I couldn't save any of them." Kiro said with a heavy heart.

It was as if a faucet had been opened, they started opening up about their fears and nightmares. It surprisingly made them feel better.

"You saved me you know." Hiro said abruptly.

"What do you mean?"

"I was ready to blow my brains out when I heard 'You're stronger than you think'."

"You may have had to do the thing all over again. Lucky you, that you have me." He attempted to flip his hair in an arrogant manner.

He noticed that Isaac was taken aback. But he quickly recovered and sneered, he snapped his fingers and his goons held him down.

Isaac planted his fist right on his solar plexus. That drained all the air in his lungs, he struggled to do anything as he couldn't breathe. He wanted to kneel down, but they held him up.

Then they started beating them up. They tried fighting back, but there were just too many of them.

Kiro and Hiro were both beaten down, they were on the floor trying to catch their breaths. Isaac walked over and knelt besides Kiro, and held him by the hair.

"We will see who has the last laugh? You pathetic arrogant little slum rat. I'll show you real power."

Kiro chuckled, he hated physical pain but he had went through a lot that he was almost numb to it.

"You're kneeling right now to your King, sucker." He said mockingly and spat a mouthful of blood on Isaac's face.

Isaac was shaking with anger, he smashed Kiro's head on the toilet seat hard and broke his nose. He immediately lost consciousness but weirdly enough, he was still smirking.

When he came to, Hiro was visibly concerned and panicking. He had tried to get up but his ribs had broken, so he stayed seated while occasionally kicking his friend to wake up.

"You look like sh*t." Kiro said in a kind of a whisper.

Hiro's face relaxed a bit, "have you looked in the mirror."

They both laughed, but it was so painful that they had to stop. They were pretty banged up, Hiro had a black eye, a few broken ribs. Kiro's lip was busted with a few broken ribs and a broken nose.

"Man, who angered them at 7 in the morning."

"Your mouth." Hiro said, narrowing his eyes. "But I'm not complaining." He smiled.

He was happy he had a friend that could take a beating together with him. If he had been alone, they may have killed him, he was sure of that.
