To the Depth of Abyss
Chapter 19: West Station (2/Revised last part)

"Ah never mind."

Ars removes his intention to return to Jeff's place.

Abyssal Terra / 1st Floor / West Station

The stop station goes to 2nd Floor.

Population: 670 People / 1000 People.

Fighting Status: Forbidden

Authority: Guild

West Station had more buildings that operated as inns. There are also private quarters of a Party Hunter, or where a merchant opened a shop.

West Station dominated by Silver Hunter with medium hunting gear. Passing all those people, Ars being stared at with a pity expression.

Ars paid no heed to their pity stares, then went to the location of the map board.

The 1d holographic map board shows all the locations of West Station in detail. Even the Hunter can touch the board to zoom-in or zoom-out.

"Hmm. Now I'm Here. The guild is at the end of the station."

The distance to the Guild was quite far. Ars has to pass about 20 blocks to get there.

"Sinaga?"

Ars startled. Didn't expect that someone would call out his family name in that prison hole.

"Hey, Randi, we found Sinaga!"

Ars immediately turned around before meeting people who knew him.

But before Ars could get away - "Hey!" - the person who recognized him earlier had chased and embrace him by force.

"Where did you wanna go when an old friend called you out?"

Due to a few big incidents that happened to him, Ars forgot that there was a group of people he didn't want to meet.

They are Hunters who call themselves Ars' old friends. Yes, friends from the outside world, in more detail, friends who have given Ars some unpleasant experiences -

"I never thought that I would meet you at this West Station! I thought a weak person like you wouldn't want to leave the surface!"

-in other words, a bully.

Ars being hugged quite tightly. He had to exert a force to release that embrace.

"Hey, is this for real?! Whiny Sinaga made his way to the West Station?!"

Another bully finally came from behind.

Ars can no longer escape from that situation. If he ran, it would equal him demeaning his pride.

"Hahaha! Mama's boy, what are you doing alone here?!"

"You better not being alone, or thugs here will come at you!"

They all looked even worse than the previous thugs.

"Ars."

Ars actually doesn't want to turn around, but an old friend who calls by his nickname makes him have to turn around.

There were five bullies - including the one who held Ars - and one of them was Ars's bitter enemy.

"Yo, long time no see."

"Randi."
