Night has fallen and the moon is already s.h.i.+ning in the night sky along with the stars. But my mind still lingers on what Moonlight has said to me earlier. She actually helps me because she sees herself in my situation under the struggles? It was quite unexpected if you ask me about it. I mean, Moonlight is a very awesome person and a powerful one to boot. Her techniques in her Bamboo Sword is very awesome that I think I also wanted to learn in which I doubt I am able to do. But she actually said that she is weak? Then what do you call me, a cannon fodder then?But actually hearing the reason from Moonlight herself gives me a bit of shock. That means that Moonlight"s brother is much stronger? And who is Moonlight"s mother? How come she is so cruel to Moonlight? I don"t understand too much about what was happening and to why she was disgraced by her mother and brother. Since the story of her life is not finished and I did not dare to ask further for info, I don"t know what actually is the reason. Piecing all of the clues still leaves behind a big question to my mind.
I sighed and rubbed Itazura"s tail a bit before I lay down on the bed. Ow, the injuries still a bit painful, I have to recover and get to prepare for tomorrow.
...
Moonlight lays on her bed while holding a photo of a family. It can"t be said as a happy family because not everyone is smiling. The more mature version of Moonlight is currently showing a stoic look on her face while remaining serious while the boy in his twenties is showing a strict expression which made him look cool but a bit unapproachable vibe. The only one smiling is the matured blue-haired guy which is Moonlight"s father and of course, the young Moonlight who is still around 5 years old when the photo is taken.
...
"Brother! I challenge you to a magic duel!"
"Stop it, sis, I am not in the mood to play with your games today."
"But I want to defeat you so that mother can be happy! Please brother!"

After a few tries of begging brother, I managed to make him agree. However, I did not expect him to get serious on the battle and almost killed me.
"Spikes of Death!"
"R-runic barrier- aaah!" the spike almost impaled me and if not for the barrier, I would be really dead.
My brother was ready to cast one again and rain it down on me but father intervened.
"Magic Negate! Sun! What are you doing?! Are you planning to kill Moonlight?!"
"Hmph, pathetic. If she can"t even properly defend a tier 2 magic, she is nothing but trash. I already held back but she is still not able to get the upper hand which is very pathetic. I suggest that she would just go and die somewhere. Becoming a magician is not some sort of child"s play where you can use magic just to play around."
Brother"s words were as sharp as knives stabbing my body. It was very painful that I don"t want to think about it. I think I even cried from what my brother said. Luckily, Father is always on my side.
"Sun! Your sister is still a kid! She still needs things to learn to become as able as you in magic!" Father shouted brother.
"Tch, she already is 5 years old but she only mastered a few magic spells and she is still not able to properly use them. Unlike me who already reached Rank 3 while still 4 years old, she can be considered as trash."
"Sun!" Father gritted his teeth.
"Sun is right. A very pathetic trash will always be trash and however many times this kid practice, she would never be able to get strong. I even doubt if this kid ever be my daughter because I doubt it very much. Her talent is mediocre and not even close to Sun. She can"t even manage to learn spells in one go and need to practice it a few more times to get it. It"s a big sign she is not worth it," my mother appeared and stand next to my brother.
"Star! What are you saying?! Why are you badmouthing your daughter!"
"Badmouthing? I am not badmouthing her. I am just stating the facts Rain. Our daughter has no talent in magic so why bother letting her practice? If she is bad at it, then why bother cultivating her? I would rather focus on Sun instead of that useless girl."
I already know that I am being bad mouthed by my mother and was currently supporting Sun but I am not someone who easily cries. I held the tears in my eyes as I tried to stop them from falling down on my cheeks.
Brother Sun and Mother left us. Father never left but stood there with me. I look at him with teary eyes. I am holding back my tears but I can"t seem to stop them from going out.
"Dad, am I just a very pathetic trash?"
"Stop it my little Moon. There is no trash person in this world. We just don"t know what they were capable of. And remember, do not compare yourself to the others. Be who you are. If you keep on insisting on becoming someone, you will never feel alive from what you are doing. Be yourself and find that very purpose of your life."
...
Moonlight did not realize her tears flowed out of her eyes while just holding the photo of her family.
"Father. I know that you know what to really do and although I am already a teacher to someone newbie, I would be ready to teach your teachings again. I have the reason to keep on going and if not for your father, I might have given up on becoming a successful magician. I know you will be always in my heart father. And I promise that I won"t give up on any problems that comes in many ways."
