Chapter 2: 2 Meeting

"It's you again, your parents have forbidden me to sell you sweets!" The older man shouted, upon seeing the boy who had just entered his store.

No one would have believed that he was only 5 years old. His too-long greasy hair, hunchbacked posture and scrawny tall body would suggest someone at least 5 years older. Dressed in a white turtleneck and jeans, the boy, with a serious face, approached the desk and placed $5 on it.

"Remember we have a deal, you sell me chocolate, and I don't reveal to your wife who you spend your nights at." Speaking, he was yawning with his mouth open.

"Phhh... One would think, your parents didn't teach you manners at all. Have it and get out of here!"

Luke took his chocolate and turned to leave, throwing back: "If I were you, I'd see what this guy is keeping under his shirt."

He didn't bother to argue further. The shopkeeper would handle it. The posture of that man didn't suggest he owned a gun. And now he would owe him a favor.

He would have shopped elsewhere, but only that annoying old man was selling his favorite chocolate, and he would rather not worry his parents, who would learn that he was going to the supermarket by himself. They will already be angry at him for running away from home again.

Although it annoyed him terribly, somewhere deep inside he was happy that there was someone in this life who cared about him, although he would never admit it. An interesting difference from when he was an orphan before.

However, having someone you care about can also be a burden. Finally, if it were only about him, the world could go crazy. There will always be new criminals. No matter how many of them you catch, one day there is one that you will lose against. Someone smarter, stronger than you or with incredible power. So why even bother? It would be better to live a new life in a new way, and not go back to old practices.

However, his new parents did not deserve to live in such a world. Luke was well familiar with the kind of terror that a man with the power to overwhelm everyone else could bring about, and if not for himself and the world, then for his parents, he had to prepare for the day when these evil people would appear.

And he was sure they would appear.

...

Philip, as always, spent his free time in the park. His parents were happy that he was actively spending time with his friends. At least that's what they thought. He preferred not to tell them that in fact the kids were mocking him.

This happened because Philip was a primate who knew the answer to every question posed by the teachers. And even at daily practice he was always second. However, he didn't want to get into a brawl, preferring not to worry his parents. Although someone was constantly getting in his way.

Only Richard was more capable than him at practice, which he couldn't understand, because he couldn't sense any chakra from the boy. Maybe it was a talent? However, during lessons, Richard only slept, never paying attention to what was being said to him.

He didn't mind the loneliness, he had time to bring his body to its former condition. Although this world was different from his old one, it remained the same in some aspects. He can't guarantee that no one will want to hurt his family. This time, he wishes he had the strength to stop anyone who would threaten him.

Especially since his mother will soon give birth again. He will have a brother again (at least no other thought came to his mind). He promised himself that this time he would take good care of him and not let him be left alone again.

...

"Who's there!" The boy shouted, immediately turning around at the sound of a branch snapping under Luke's leg.

Although Luke was already too tall with his 1.31m for his age, the boy in front of him was a real monster. He would never have believed he was 5 years old. He was at least 1.5m. Dressed in a white T-shirt and sports shorts, he looked about him carefully while brandishing some kind of sharp object.

"Relax, I didn't mean to scare you. My name is Luke and I want to talk to you about something, you could put that sharp tool away before one of us gets hurt?"

"Alright, but keep it short!" Philip replied, hiding his weapon so quickly that Luke was unable to see it.

"As I said my name is Luke and I think you come from another world." He said with a half-smile giving his hand to the other boy.

"Phi..." he began to say, pausing in the middle when the meaning of the words came to him.

Luke, with a growing smile on his lips, began to explain: "How do I know, you ask? Actually I had about 3% certainty, but your reaction has already made me sure. It's better if you sit down, it's going to be a long conversation. Would you like some chocolate?"
