Abuse
By moonlight ray
Disclaimer: I, sadly, don't own LSK. Yu Wo, I seriously envy you for this.
[A/N: This idea came to me while reading Chapter 9 of Volume 6, when the Twelve Holy Knights were brainstorming punishments for Sun's month-long absence. It made me realize—Sun really gets abused a lot, doesn't he? Haha…
By the way, I'm treating Sun's student in this fic as an OC. I know Yu Wo wrote a 39th generation, but I haven't read it yet and I don't want to mess up the character. I'm just going to make his presence vague in this story.]
The 38th generation Sun Knight stood before his student, a serious expression in place of his usual smile. Both hands clasped behind his back and his posture elegant, Creus Sun was the epitome of poise and perfection. To anyone who saw him, he appeared serene and at peace.
However, his student wasn't just anyone. He knew that whenever his teacher acted this way, it meant either he was beyond pissed or conspiring something or basically up to no good. He wondered which one it was this time.
"Child, today I will teach you a lesson crucial to the Sun Knight's existence." Creus' tone was solemn and grave when he spoke. He cast a forlorn glance at his student, a sort of resigned sadness in his eyes.
His student shrank back. This must be bad. He's never seen his teacher so deflated before, not even when Knight-Captain Judgment confiscated his sweets. It had to be something serious.
"Child, over your term of service as the Sun Knight, it is guaranteed that you will be abused."
His student blinked, perplexed. Huh?
Creus continued, ignoring his student's reaction, "You will be abused by your opponents, slashed and stabbed until you bleed a river of red. You will be abused by the royal family, sent out on mission after dangerous mission, until you are so worn out you can't move. You will be abused by the Pope, assigned to solve all sorts of problems until your head pounds with a throbbing headache."
His student was taken aback. "What?" This was even more confusing than his teacher's God of Light gibberish!
Creus rambled on, "The God of Light will abuse you. The God of War and God of Chaos of other religions will abuse you. The Son of the God of War will abuse you, Silent Eagle will abuse you, and princesses from other kingdoms will abuse you.
"An undead lich will abuse you. A unicorn will abuse you. Someone in love with you will abuse you. Hell, even a black outfit will occasionally abuse you! Even your own peers—the Twelve Holy Knights—will abuse you. Believe me when I say this, child, that everyone and everything you come in contact with will abuse you. As the Sun Knight, that is inevitable."
Baffled, his student remained silent for a while. Finally, finding his voice, he asked shakily, "Everyone…?"
"Yep. Everyone." Creus nodded assertively.
"Then, Teacher, does that include you?"
"…" Thinking back to his 'training' sessions with Neo, Creus could think of nothing else to say. It really did seem that everyone abused the Sun Knight.
