章節 31: Worries for the future
"That's true. It seriously baffled me. I didn't expect you to use our own attacks against us," Ven added. "It was a great tactic."
"I only managed to do that because I knew how you guys think," Kye stated. "I saw how Lidi made attacks with small power in it so that people stopped in their tracks. I also knew that you, Ven, were cautious, that's why I managed to defeat Lidi when you stepped back."
"Well, that's exactly what we're saying," Ven smiled. "You have great eyes that allow you to read your opponents easily. And you also know how to process that information, so that's great. I'm sure that if you had a little more experienced, you would have defeated us easily."
"Are you sure?"
"Well maybe not easily, but you would have been a great opponent. Even more than now."
As Ven said that, the bell announcing the end of the day rang, and Madison let them go. Of course, the latter observed everyone, and she was glad that the few students that had picked her interest didn't deceive her. They had great potential, and as a teacher, she will try her best to guide them onto the right path.
"Lidi, do you want to hang out with us?" Kye asked as they walked through the hallway.
"Are you sure? I don't want to bother you,"
"You're already bothering us," Ven said and Kye slapped his head gently. Nonetheless, he still put a hand where Kye had slapped him. It hurts!
"No, you're not. I wouldn't have asked you if it was the case," Kye said with a smile.
"Fair enough," She smiled back. "Then if you don't mind, I will bother you,"
"Sure."
They then went to pick up Yugo, and as the latter see a new person in the group, he glanced at Ven to see his reaction. The latter answered him with a nod, and Yugo then smiled.
"Nice to meet you, you can call me Yugo."
"Likewise, I'm Lidi. A new friend of Kye, and also Ven maybe," She chuckled as the latter looked away.
"Haha, don't be too harsh with him. He's just a d*mba*s,"
"What?" Ven grows a vein on his head with a smile.
"Hehe, you didn't hear anything," Yugo chuckled.
Seeing that, Kye had a smile on his face. A few days ago, when he first came to the military ground, he thought that his stay here would have been no different from living in hell. There was still the level system, after all, and as a level 1 without ability, he was at a 100% chance sure that people would have targeted him. However, it wasn't the case.
First Yugo kindly helped him when he didn't have to. Then Ven too came and supported him so much that he now became overprotective toward him. And now he had met Lidi too. And even though he didn't know her well, the fact that she had tried to step up against Bulk to protect him says long about her character. So he was sure to have met good people, and he hoped from the bottom of his heart that nothing unfortunate would happen.
'Hope I don't jinx myself,' Kye thought as the group went to the city. They wanted to hang out a lot, and they first went to a restaurant. "Guys, I was wondering, isn't it better to train instead of lazing around?" Kye asked. "I mean, there will surely be some exam sooner or later, and we need to be prepared for that kind of thing."
"Are you seriously saying that Kye?" Lidi chuckled. "You almost won against me and Ven alone, so do you really think that you need to train?"
"He did what?" Yugo asked with a shocked expression.
Ven then explained to him. "We needed to fight in 1 versus two today in our weapon class. And Kye managed to defeat Lidi without even cheating. I'm telling you Yugo, he will be stronger than us."
"Is it real?" Kye nodded shyly. "That's so nice Kye. I'm glad that you beat them up," Yugo laughed.
"I lost in the end though."
"You still put them in a difficult situation, so that's already impressive for someone that began training yesterday," Both Ven and Lidi nodded.
"So yeah, you don't have to worry about that. You're already strong enough to fend for yourself."
"But it was a spar without ability," Kye reminded them, and all the smiles on their face soon faded away in front of the realization. "So I won't be able to do much in a situation that implies fighting against someone who had an ability."
"You do have…" Ven was saying when Yugo suddenly hit his leg from under the table of the restaurant.
"I'm sure you will get an ability sooner or later, so don't worry," Lidi said with a smile. "You just have to be patient,"
"Yes, you are right," Even though Kye said that with a smile, the three of them could see that Kye was sad. The future was uncertain, and they felt awful not being able to help him. Protecting him against his bully was a good thing, providing a solid friendship and emotional support was good too, but they couldn't do anything more than that. And they felt bad for that.
Even Lidi felt like this. Sure she just met him yesterday, but strangely enough, she already considered him like a little brother that she needed to protect. It was a strange and nice feeling. But she still felt awful because of that.
"I know what you are thinking guys, but please don't do this face," Kye said after some time. "You can't do anything about that, and the fact that you are already here for me it's more than enough. I would probably have died already if it wasn't for you guys so I thank you, from the bottom of my heart.
'Sh*t, I want to hug him now,' Ven thought but didn't do anything. He resisted the urge.
'Why is he so cute? I want to hug him to reassure him,' Lidi thought too and resisted.
'Kye, you're going to make my heart cry at this rate,' This time it was Yugo who thought that.
They all had a different thoughts in their head, but they all resisted the urge to comfort and hug him. Instead, they just gave him a genuine smile.
After eating and doing some more activities, it was still 6 pm. However, they decided to go back to the academy. They were all pretty tired, so they wanted to rest a little.
They all went to their rooms, and once Kye saw that Yugo and Ven were asleep, he decided to sneak out and go to a special area in the academy.
'I hope I will be able to play a little bit of VR,' He thought as he slowly walked toward the dedicated area for VR.
