Thankfully the driver didn't pester me much anymore and we somehow managed to get get to the hero school without me needing to get out of the car and walk there on my own. Not that I wouldn't have jumped out if the moving car or if that would be my first time doing that. Nope not at all. Not looking at the 3 times I jumped out from my old hero's car because the old man got annoying like hell. But Hey! I never broke nor injured myself so it was considerably safe to do that.

Man: Okay we're her-

Before he could continue what he said I was already out of the car and went to the trunk to get my sport bag. I didn't had much stuff that truly belonged to me. Everything I had was replaceable for a reason.

Never get attached to things.

That was one of the rules I learned when I was little. It didn't matter if it was a person, an animal, something material or something else like a place. I knew how damn dangerous that could be and so I strictly never went against that one rule.

Tho I couldn't help it and felt guilty to have lost my limelight hero.

Once I got my things the man was already holding the door open for me to walk into the building.

Eraserhead: Is this the kid?

Straight to the point.

Good!

At least you are not a chatterbox like this dude!

Me: Ghost. Nice to meet you. From today on I'll be your shadow.

Eraserhead: What's your real name kid.

Me: Dead.

Eraserhead looked behind me to the man and I could tell that he was signalizing that he didn't know it. How could he. I threw that name away the moment I got sold to a hero commission.

Man: It's good to see that you two get along. I expect great things from you. We'll keep in touch. See ya.

That was also all the man said before leaving me with this idiot behind. It wasn't magic to know that he didn't wanted me here and that he was rejecting me. I could tell that much from hoe he was watching me.

Me: Look I didn't chose to be here if it was going like I wanted I would be dead instead that hero.

Eraserhead: *sigh* Kid-

Me: Ghost. If you don't like it just give me a name.

Eraserhead: Ghost... I never said anything against you being here.

Me: sure but your eyes tell me everything. You don't want to have a shadow.

Eraserhead: You're right on that. I don't need a shadow.

Me: Then why did you accept the offer.

Eraserhead: You're damn 16! You shouldn't be doing this kind of work.

Me: I have my license and I proved myself multiple times. I am not the number one shadow for nothing.

Eraserhead: Good for you kid but that wasn't what I mean.

Me: Ohh so you have something against me being so young? Is my license a joke-

Eraserhead: Stop it kid. What I meant is that you should have a life.

Me: Huh?

Eraserhead: I know you're tired from how grumpy you act right now and you look like shit.

Me: Did you check you mirror? Someone's needs a more than just one face mask to get rid of the wrinkles and the black cyrcles beneath your eyes. I even bet that sleeping beaties sleep won't help you anymore. Might as well ask the reaper to take you in.

Eraserhead: ....

??? : Pffff-hahahahahahahaha

We were still like in right in front of the school where I knew there wouldn't be any cameras. I kinda got the neck out for stuff like that and move so that no one would find me. All of the sudden I heard laughing coming from behind this man.

Was I grumpy and a mood?

Yes I was but can you blame me?

I was literally thrown away casted aside by the hero commission.

Not only that I didn't even recover and was send directly from a hospital to a plane and now here I was. I was tired, my body hurt and I had to start doing my shadow work too. Like this was a complete new country. I had to go to the underground learn all stuff and deal with some minor criminals too.

It certainly wasn't easy being a shadow but there was other way. I didn't know about any.

Eraserhead: Toshi?

Me: .... Oh great another mini mummy with eye begs as big as the moon.

Hitoshi: What did you just call me.

Me: A walking mummy, got some problems. Like dude you know I am not even from this country but even I know when to go to sleep.

Eraserhead: *sigh* Enough. We are all doing our jobs and some can be insomniacs.

Me: No because you don't want a shadow and that is my job.

Hitoshi: Okay calm down. You're literally a mood.

Me: Oh excuse myself then. How about you show me where I can rest for a while and we talk later?

Eraserhead: *Sigh* Come with me.

Thankfully after stating the obvious they both showed me to the car and we drove off to a house where they let me in. The moment they let me in, I went straight for the next place I could crash in. I soo didn't had patience to wait any longer. I really needed some sleep right now.  

Eraserhead: Toshi did you inform Zashi?

Hitoshi: Yup. He will be back after he finished his sessions.

Eraserhead: *sigh*

Me: How long is that?

Eraserhead: 4 hours.

Me: Wake me up when we have to leave.

That was all I said before crashing on the sofa letting out a whine which definitely didn't went unnoticed because the next thing I felt was someone pulling my shirt up.

Eraserhead: You have bruises all over you.... and what about this?!

Me: And that gives you zero permissions to do that!

I was laying face down so I couldn't really see the heroes and I didn't had too. These wounds were nearly healed thankfully but there was still a flash wound instead of a stabing wound or a gun shot througn my body. Besides I also got burned pretty badly in the explosion that killed the hero. It was him who protect me instead... This was why I didn't had a huge burn mark but a small one which the healers managed to heal. They just told me to cover my skin with fabric and bandages because it's pretty sensitive for now.

This is why it hurt just touching it...

Eraserhead: Toshi get RG to come over and look at him.

Me: No nee-

Hitoshi: On it.

Eraserhead: *sigh* Nothing you say can stop me from having a healer check you up. You wanna be my shadow then you must be healthy to say the least.

Me: *sigh* Fine....
