บท 45: An unexpected fighting partner
"Well, hum, how should I say that," Enzo looked away. It was hard to look at Kye in the eyes constantly, especially when he was dressed like this. "To be honest at the beginning, I was just curious about you. As I said earlier, you're someone whose quite strong and is well surrounded. So I had the impression that Yugo and Ven wanted to recruit you into their family at first to teach you their ability, and since you refused the wind ability from the military, there wasn't a lot of chance for you to go with Lidi.
So I wanted to try and do like them since you had a lot of potentials. But after today's event, I understood how I was wrong. They all didn't come toward you because of hidden agendas, but because they wanted to be friends with you for real. And when I saw that, I just couldn't think like how I used to anymore. So instead of approaching you and trying to recruit you later by proposing you the time ability, I think it's better for me to just be friends with you and create a solid bond. And I know it's not kind for me to think like that, but being friends with you will bring me more benefits than losses."
"Well, that's quite interesting..." Kye began to think a little. He didn't know if his angel's ability counted as an ability by itself, or if he was just able to use it because he wasn't totally human anymore. If it was the former case, then there wasn't anything to do, but if it was the latter, then that means that he would surely be able to learn another ability. Like this, he would be able to use all of his angel's power, as well as another ability that he will learn.
'If I remember right, everyone in the VR thought that my Holy ray was coming from the light ability. So I can maybe learn that and use both of them freely. But yet again, I don't know if I will be able to learn an ability or not,' He thought before saying to Enzo. Of course, he had activated his Angel's eyes to see if he was saying the truth. And since Enzo wasn't even looking into his eyes, there weren't any possibilities to be caught. "At least you're saying the truth, so that's enough for me. And it's not like you're thinking the way you do anymore, so I'm good," He then began to swim again, only for a vein to pop out from his forehead. "By the way, can you remove your time ability? I would like to swim freely."
"Oh yeah, my bad," Enzo waved his hand, removing his ability. "Can I swim with you?"
"Sure," Kye smiled brightly like he always did when he was happy.
Both of them swam a lot until everyone got used to it. As time passes, Yugo, Ven, and Lidi also went into the water. And obviously, they were fast learners too. Even though they came very late, they learned how to move freely before a lot of people. And the moment they saw that Kye was with the last son of the Laborde family, they were all pissed.
"Why is this Enzo playing with him whereas he was with Bulk yesterday?" Lidi asked.
"Is he trying to pick up a fight with him?" Yugo said, slowly moving toward them.
"Guys, wait," Ven stopped them before they could do something bad for Kye. "Remember what Kye said? We shouldn't go and try to pick a fight with Enzo. I don't want him to yell at me again," The three of them were all down because of what Kye said earlier. And Ven was so touched that he stopped acting on a whim and began to think for real before acting. He didn't want Kye to distance himself from him like earlier, and if he had to change for that, he will do so gladly.
"Yeah you're right, he told us that so that we can build a better bond between each other, so we shouldn't act based on our emotion so much as we did," Yugo said after stopping.
"Still, Enzo Laborde isn't the best of person. Even though he is the last son of his family like both of you, he is still known pretty well for his mood change. His personality changes a lot when that happens, and he becomes quite cold, to say the least." Lidi added.
"Then let's keep an eye on him," Ven said as he swam quickly toward Enzo and Kye.
The latter seeing them made a little smile, comforting them immediately. They would have been extremely sad if Kye was colder toward them now after what had happened earlier.
"You guys finally came," Kye said once they were close enough to hear him.
"Yes," Ven immediately said. "And we're sorry for what we did earlier, Kye. Please forgive us," They all looked down to show how sad and serious they were.
"Don't worry about that," He waved his hand. "As long as you're more careful from now on, everything's fine. And I'm sorry as well for my earlier behavior. It wasn't the kind of me to do that."
"Don't be. What you did was right, you opened our eyes, and we're all thankful for that," Lidi said before Yugo continued.
"Hum Kye, can we hug each other?" Ven nodded furiously, agreeing with what his friend said. Lidi too quickly followed. As for Enzo, he just looked at them a little weirdly. He didn't expect to see such strong teens act like this. But on the other hand, he could understand. Kye was someone amazing. Good looking with smooth skin. Cute face and still growing. Beautiful body as well. He was so perfect that he even think of Kye as not completely human.
Though, he didn't know what he could be if he wasn't human.
"Hmm, not now, there are too many people here."
"Then later?" Ven asked excitingly as Kye nodded.
"Is it possible to have something more?" Lidi asked as the two boys by her side agreed furiously again.
"Hmm, no I'm sorry. A hug is enough for now," He then turned toward Enzo. "Anyway, you surely all know him already, but Enzo is a new friend of mine. So please don't act rashly with him," The latter smiled and waved his hand.
"Well as long as he doesn't do anything to you, we're all good," Ven said, smiling at Enzo but with cold eyes.
"I'm not here for troubles but to be friend with Kye, so by extension with you guys too," He then turned toward Kye and said. "And I would like to apologize in advance, Kye. I sometimes get quite cold and angry, but I will try my best to stay normal, especially around you."
"That's goo-..."
"Alright everyone, now please come out of the water," Madison said, cutting Kye without even knowing about it.
Everyone did as they were asked to. And thankfully for them, there wasn't any student who couldn't move freely under the water anymore. Still, it took them around an hour to get used to this new environment. And it was just moving, not even using their abilities or weapons.
"Now that everyone is ready, we will begin the sparing session. Please come one by one and take one of those papers. It will define who you will have to train today. And don't worry, you are all paired with someone around your level," Madison explained what they have to do next, and they quickly moved.
Everyone took a little paper with a number on it. Everyone got paired with someone outside of the group. Even Enzo. Making all of them a little pissed about the pair they got. And if not for Kye reassuring them, they would have probably made their opponent suffer.
And Kye was paired up with someone he hadn't expected at all. She had platinum blond long hair and blue eyes. Yes, it was no other than Sylvia, the girl Kye fought with against the Zora in the VR.
"Hello, nice to meet you, I'm Sylvia Viso," She reached out her hand.
'Why did I have to fight against her out of all the people here?' Kye thought as he reached out his hand too. "I'm Kye Vermillion, nice to meet you as we-..." Kye didn't finish his sentence because he thought of something. "Wait a minute, if you're from the Viso family, why do you only use water in VR?"
"Oh? So you knew me already?" She chuckled. "As you might know, nature had different elements. And water is one of them. However, I never trained with it before, so I mostly use water here in the military."
"I see, fair enough then,' Kye nodded. "Though I still have a question..."
