Chapter 112: 112: Clifford's Hidden Resolve
'I'm team seven? Fuck... Why am I the only one that got separated from the three? Me and my damned luck!' Caleb scanned his group mates. Shu and Rozho were the two that had caught his attention since the start. 'It seems we are fated or something.'
"Hey, Johan... You are the only one that got separated from us. We are all in the group one." Luna couldn't help but speechlessly look at Johan. Here she was, hoping they wouldn't get separated. What are the odds?
Andre laughed as he heard Luna's words.

"Don't worry about him. He can manage himself with his strength and wits. He's not the one unlucky, but us. Without him, things won't go smoothly for us. We won't have someone to rely upon but ourselves."
"Well, if that's the case. We need to rely on ourselves and not always let Johan carry us." Clifford snorted. Then he gave Johan a determined look. "Next time we meet, the three of us won't drag you any longer and we will become someone you can rely on!"
Hearing this, a smile found itself on Caleb's face. He didn't expect Clifford to have such thoughts. Seeing the determination in the latter's eyes, he knew that he was determined to do what he just said.
"I have faith in you guys." As he said this, he opted for a hug.
Luna, Clifford, and Andre look at Caleb emotionally. After all, they've been with each other for years. They go through life and death journey together and Johan hasn't abandoned them. He stood in front of them when Fushigiro wanted to sacrifice them. Now they were about to get separated.
'You guys are only my family. I won't let anything or anyone take you from me again.' Unbeknownst to everyone, Clifford firmed his heart to protect and cherish them.
If Caleb knew this. He would be surprised. After all, his opinion of Clifford was a bit skewed.
The four hugged each other for a few moments under the eyes of everyone. However, the people around didn't think much of this. After all, isn't it normal for friends to do that when they're about to part?
When they parted, Caleb suddenly felt a light pat on his back. His body felt cold, as he didn't even notice the presence of his sensitive spirit. He couldn't help but turn around and see Shu, the white-haired guy, looking at him with a polite smile.
"Yo, since we will become a team. I hope we get along together. There's no need for an introduction, right?"
Caleb stared silently at the guy in front of him. He knew that he would have to be with him for who knew how long. Since the other party took the initiative to greet him. Then it would be rude for him not to respond to such goodwill. He smiled as he thought of this and said:
"I hope we get along, too. Shu, right?"
"That's right," Shu smiled faintly. Then he waved his hand. "Well, I'll greet the other from team seven first."
Caleb watched Shu walk towards Rozho, Kazuto, and Kidd. They are the other ones who drew number seven on the paper. Then he glanced at Andre, Luna, and Clifford, who had gathered in some corner with other members of Team One.
'Well, at least they didn't become introverted after living far from civilization for years.'
Shaking his head, Caleb trudged towards the area where his team was. As got nearer and nearer, he couldn't help but study them. Rozho, the one with a weird name and carrying three swords at his waist. The x-mark on the kid's left eye was so eye-catching that Caleb started to wonder what caused it.
'To have such a wound at such a young age. Just what did this guy experience? It seems the 9th District is a horrible place. He managed to thrive in such a hellish environment. He must be strong.'
The 9th District. Caleb quietly listed it in his mind as a must-visit. Who knows what wonders he would find there? Of course, he would only visit that place once he was strong enough.
Then there was Kazuto who looks like an anime character. Black hair that reached his nose. Black pupils and a small, straight, and well-defined nose with a gentle slope, give him a balanced and harmonious facial appearance. Matched with positive Cantal tilt, hunter eyes that look as if he squints all the time, and his facial features complement each other.
As for his wear, it was all black. Wears a long, black leather trench coat. It's a prominent part of his outfit, giving him a sleek and stylish appearance. Underneath the trench coat, he wears a plain, black, long-sleeved shirt. This shirt is visible in the gaps of the coat. There are also two scabbards on his back to hold two swords.
'Hmm... Dual-Wielding Style? Interesting.'
Kazuto sports black pants that match the rest of his outfit. He wears knee-high black leather boots, completing his all-black ensemble. Lastly, a black belt is worn around his waist, which holds his scabbards and adds a finishing touch to his look.
Caleb sighed.
'This guy knows how to style himself. Well, might as well learn Dual-Wielding Sword Style from him.'
If there's something Caleb was proud was. It was his never-changing student attitude. He always wants to learn. No matter if it was from someone younger, poorer, or someone not as bright as him. Everyone has something to offer and has a unique understanding of things. He acknowledges it. Even a fool has something he knows that others don't. That's why one has to practice having the attitude of a student.
Adopting the mindset of a student means being open to new ideas, experiences, and knowledge. It implies that you recognize there's always something new to discover, and you're willing to embrace it. A student's attitude involves acknowledging that you don't know everything. It's about humbling oneself in the face of the vast knowledge and expertise that exists in the world. Whether it was from someone with a lower status than you or someone not as good as you.
A student's mindset encourages critical thinking and problem-solving. When you approach challenges with the curiosity of a student, you're more likely to find innovative solutions. A true student doesn't hoard knowledge but shares it with others though.
Finally, having the attitude of a student means maintaining a sense of wonder and curiosity about the world. It keeps your mind engaged and eager to explore new horizons.
