Chapter 16: Good friends

The Holy ray came out from Kye's finger, and it flew right on the guy's chest. And if we were to be more precise, it went right toward his heart area.

So when the ray pierced his body, the latter just stopped moving.

His heart had stopped beating.

His breathing stopped.

He fell to the ground.

His body was now lifeless.

"KYE!" Ven shouted as he saw what happened at the last moment. He then tried to run toward him.

"DON'T COME!" Kye shouted back. He had accomplished the mission, but he didn't even look at the system's windows that were showing him his rewards. No, he was now experiencing the aftereffect of killing someone. So his head wasn't thinking about that at the moment.

And the venue of the boys only accentuated things even more. He didn't want to get caught, but now that they were here, it meant that he failed royally. And just thinking about what would happen next was scaring him even more.

Kye was only a teenager who got bullied all his life, so seeing something like that was already terrible. And when it was him who did it, it was even worse. But when there were witnesses at the crime scene, it was like the world was crushing him.

And because of that, his breathing quickened.

"DON'T COME NEAR ME!!" He shouted once more as his breathing quickened even more.

"Kye, wait, you're hyperventilating," Yugo said with worry. He didn't know what happened, but it was clear that Kye wasn't good right now.

Both of the guys weren't even paying attention to the dead guy and only wanted to help Kye. But the latter was too terrified and couldn't think straight to see that. For him, they were about to blame him and report him to the academy. And if it was to be the case, then he will live a hellish life.

Yugo and Ven tried to come once more toward him, and this time, Kye didn't say anything.

He just stood there, without moving.

Seeing that, the boys thought he had calmed down, but when they took a closer look, they saw how much Kye was bleeding.

And the reason why Kye wasn't moving anymore was that he had just fainted.

And this time, Kye too was falling to the ground.

Seeing that, Ven immediately used his ability to reverse gravity to not let Kye fall. There were still a lot of sharp rocks on the ground, so it would only make things harder for him if they were to impale him.

Both of them then rushed toward him and took them in their arms gently. There was a lot of rock in his body and even though the latter was trying to regenerate, it couldn't completely because the rocks were blocking a part of the regeneration.

"What the hell did happen here?" Yugo asked whoever could answer him, but those who could weren't available right now. One of them had passed out while the other had died. "And why does Kye is in this state?"

"I don't know man, but we need to bring Kye to the hospital, it's critical."

"No, we can't. If we do that, they will know that's something is suspicious."

"What do you propose then?" Ven asked, pressing him. Kye didn't look well, so they needed to act fast.

"Look, I don't know why and how, but Kye's regeneration is incredibly fast, so just bring him to our room and wait for me. We will try to take the rocks off his body to let it regenerate. So he won't even need the medic's healing," Yugo proposed. He had remarked that Kye's regeneration was fast when his bleeding lips had regenerated in just a few minutes, and his body had completely recovered in just thirty minutes whereas it needed multiple hours to do so.

"And how do we cover for this guy?" He showed the dead body with his finger. "The military will surely know that something had happened even if we do our best to cover things up." Ven pointed out. Even if they were to use all things they had at their disposal, the military will still find some clues.

"Can't we just let him here? There's no camera in the academy, so they won't be able to find what happened." Yugo said.

"They won't need cameras when all his class gossiped about what happened during lunch and now. And they also know that we were searching for them."

"Then can't we just say that it wasn't us? I mean, neither you nor I could make holes like that in his body." Yugo gave an idea. As he said, they didn't have a high enough mastery in their abilities to compact it so much.

"And how about Kye? Won't they know that he was the one who did that?"

"Kye isn't supposed to have any abilities. So no, they won't know anything."

"Then how did he use this golden ray?"

"I don't know man, we could still ask him later," Yugo said as he get up. "Come on, we gotta go."

Ven also gets up, and together with Yugo, they brought him slowly into their room. Though, they hadn't forgotten to clean all the blood that was around their fighting place.

Thanks to the spatial ability of Yugo, they put all red marks in a little pocket dimension. Like this, they won't know from whom the blood was.

So after around fifteen minutes, they finally came to their rooms.

It was so hard to get there because students were hanging out at every corner of the academy. So they needed to hide every time they saw someone.

Though, in the end, they finally came, and they immediately put Kye on the ground with a lot of cover under and above him. His body was getting cold because of the blood loss.

And they didn't put him on his bed because it would dirty things even more, so there would be more evidence to clean up.

"What do we do now?" Yugo said. "His body is freezing."

"One of us needs to keep him warm while the other takes off the rocks."

"And how are we supposed to keep him warm, huh?"

"I don't know, hug him maybe, I don't see another solution. I will try to take off the rock with my gravity," Ven said. "And prepare another pocket dimension for the rocks."

Hearing the next course of action, Yugo nodded and try to hug Kye to keep him warm. Though, it was quite hard because if he were to come closer to him, he will just drive the rocks into him more, and it would just make him suffer more.

"One-off, still a lot more to go," Ven said as sweat began to drip from his forehead.

A long session of medical care would be ahead of them.
