The World We Do Not Know 74 What Is Life - 02

"I know, you have been having tough times since three months." The woman perceives how thin Faust has become, she takes a deep breath before continuing.

"You shouldn't stop your studies no matter what happens in your life, it is a basic necessity for anyone. You won't be able to live in the world without any knowledge about it." The woman utters while being concerned.

The woman is a teacher named Clara (29) from Faust's school. She wore a long sky blue dress with a long brown handbag which is resting on her legs.

Her long black hair is fluttering due to the air blowing from the window behind her, the ends of her hair is also dyed in blue color with a sea sh.e.l.l shaped hair pin.

Her face is showing how much she is worrying about Faust but at the same time, hesitating to really cheer him up. She has never communicated with Faust. Nor does she teach him.

She heard that a student from her school lost his grandfather and haven't come to school from two months. She just wanted to tell him 'no matter what happens in life, we need to keep going, keep fighting, to eventually have good days at some point.' 

But she feels hesitant since Faust doesn't talk back or say anything, she grips her hands tight cracking her fingers. "Faust! Come back to school, like will be good once you give it a chance."

"Please, come to school, be around lot of people, school teachers you lots of things." Clara says with a helpless pleading face.

The eyelids of Faust slowly folds as  his eyes roll up to look at the woman in front of him. *"School teaches everything?"* He gets down off the chair that he sat on till now, he goes towards a basket which was placed in the corner of the room.

Clara looks with a puzzled face as to what Faust is doing. He picks up the basket and wears it on his back like a backpack and turns towards Clara and stares at her, he then walks towards her with a dead face.

*"Di-did he agree to what I say?" The atmosphere around Clara eases up with a smile curving on her lips, as she thinks that Faust agrees with her.

*"I wonder… if school teaches about life? Is there a meaning to life?"* Faust casually walks towards her, pa.s.ses her and walks out of the door which was just beside her.

Realizing that Faust is leaving with a basket, Bella joins him on his journey into the forest to collect fruits, bamboo and some meat for their meal.

Clara lowers her head in disappointment, she doesn't understand what Faust really is thinking and leaves on her way.

From the next day, Faust starts off by getting ready to school. Bella sleeps near the front door as a guard as usual.

Faust walks out of the door, stops in the middle and turns back as he is about to reach outside. He turns around and looks back inside the house with sad and murky face reminiscing how Gus dropped him at school everyday.

*Woof woof!*

To his surprise Bella comes out running, wagging her tail, she joins Faust.

On the way to his school, Faust received many glares from the villagers who looked at him like a trash.

To his surprise Bella comes out running, wagging her tail and joins him.

On the way to his school, Faust received many glares from the villagers who looked at him like a trash that deserves to be thrown away.

Bella heads back it's way, once Faust enters inside school. Even though Clara is happy to see him back, his cla.s.smates and his bullies did not show him any mercy.

They made mean comments about how Gus left him because he is a failure.

Faust does not say anything back nor does he respond in anyway, he stays as a dead person just taking everything that comes his way, this angered the bullies more. Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click for visiting.

"You won't say anything back huh, let's see."

The bullies  places spikes on his seat, on which Faust sat, the whole day without caring, they also glued a note on his back, which says 'hit me'.

As Faust took walks in the corridor, every kid came from behind him to mark their hand prints on the back of Faust. Some kids even compete to see whose slap made big sound.

They tore and colored his s.h.i.+rt with curries and sauces in lunch, Faust walked with his torn s.h.i.+rt and spikes at the back of his pants.

Clara notices what was happening and comes to remove the note from his back and she punishes the kids who were mean to him, Faust still walked around with the spikes and a half torn s.h.i.+rt.

"What is this? You punished our kids for some no namer?"

"You are not even a head teacher, who have you the right?"

"Why don't you open a service to save orphan kids, if you like to blame the innocent kids and punish them."

After school ended, a group of parents seem to be shouting at Clara at the front gate for the punishment she has given to their kids who bullied Faust.

Clara, even while panicking, tries to explain to the parents that their kids are at fault for bullying, but the parents are not ready to buy it. Clara is in a tough situation explaining things to the parents and dealing with her higher-ups.

"There, the idiot is coming!" One of the parents says in a despised tone upon seeing Faust coming out of school.

One of the mother walks up to Faust, she pulls Faust towards her by hastily grabbing his arm

She lowers her upper body to look Faust in his eyes.

"How dare you frame our kids for something they did not do?" The mother glared at Faust, her teeth are gritting against each other in a rage and her eyebrows are raised.

All the schoolmates and kids of his age are staring at Faust, even some parents and old people who were once nice and kind to Faust are among them. But n.o.body jumped in to help Faust.

*Groan*
