My Angelic System

Chapter 139 A Mother's Advice

Yugo could clearly sense the atmosphere around him change. It was as if Kye was changing his surrounding by his power alone. 'And isn't there something mowing on his back? A monster? No, his wings?' The moment Yugo came to this conclusion, he knew he had to stop his friend, or else his biggest secret will be revealed to everyone.

"Kye please wait," Yugo said. "Please calm down."

"Why would I calm down when I can't even save my friends, huh?" Kye looked at Yugo with a fiery gaze, almost scaring him.

Almost.

The other students who were taking a break earlier started to hear the commotion and quickly rushed over to it.

The first one to come was Isis, and he was greatly surprised to see the scene beholding in front of him. 'What the...? What is this pressure? Is it coming from the guard? No, is Kye seriously challenging his guard? Is he serious? And is Yugo seriously sweating? Is it because of Kye?'

A lot of thought came across his head, but he knew that things wouldn't be great if the commotion were to get bigger.

"Kye, what's happen-"

"Shut up Isis." Kye cut him short, his eyes still glowing yellow.

As the tension was rising, both the guard and Kye went into stance. The guard was seriously hesitating to fight against Kye as he was feeling an unknown fear coming from inside of him. As for Kye, he was still weighing the pros and cons.

As the guard said earlier, if he were to go against the military, he'll be charged with treason, and either be sent to prison or worse, be killed. And the problem was that he won't be able to escape if he were to do so.

He didn't know how to escape from here. And even if he did, he wouldn't know on which planet he will land.

He could be lucky and teleport on the planet Ras was living in, or even Aria's planet, but the odds weren't in his favor. Not to talk about his friend whom he didn't want to abandon.

'I-I have to act now.' Kye thought. But right before he was about to change his ring into his trusted sword, a voice came from behind.

"What's happening here?" The voice belonged to a woman. It was the woman who made Kye feel like he found someone dear to him.

Yes, it's Tarica who came right in time.

"Care to explain?" She looked at Yugo.

"Huh? Me?" He pointed to himself as if he didn't expect to be picked out of everyone.

"You're the friend of my so *cough* of the most talented healer here. So I want to hear it from your mouth."

Yugo hesitated for a moment, but he knew he couldn't keep Tarica in the dark. He felt something similar to Kye in her. It was as if the space around her was the same as Kye, but a million times more intriguing. And so he took a deep breath and began to explain the situation to her.

"Kye wants to take care of our friends first as he is deeply worried about them. He wants to treat them first, even though it'll means that some people won't be able to be saved as our friends will take their turns. And as such, the guard opposed him, and a clash is about to start between the two of them." Yugo mixed the story a little in the hope that Tarica would take his friend's side. After all, he didn't want to see his friends die either.

Tarica nodded, her expression softening as she looked at Kye. "I see. Kye, I understand how you feel. But please, don't take any rash actions. Going against the military will be extremely troublesome for you later on in your life." She then turned to Yugo and said, "You have the spatial ability, correct? Bring them here by creating two gates."

Kye looked at Tarica in disbelief. He didn't expect her to support him, especially since she was a high-ranking member of the academy. But her words gave him hope.

"Thank you, professor." Kye said, his eyes returning to their normal color as he bowed his head a little. He was so grateful to her for finding an easy way to his problem that he felt dumb for not getting this idea earlier.

Tarica smiled at him before turning to the guard. "As for you, I don't want any trouble. Please let us handle this matter in a peaceful manner." Even though she asked with a smile, the guard felt like a dagger was pressing against his throat. It was how much pressure he felt from her smile alone.

The guard hesitated for a moment before nodding. "Very well. But if you try to do anything illegal, I will have to report it to my superiors."

Tarica nodded in understanding before turning to the group of students who had gathered around them. "Alright, everyone, let's get back to your work. You won't let Kye do all the work, right?"

The tension in the air dissipated, and everyone slowly went back to their training. Yugo let out a sigh of relief, grateful that the situation didn't escalate any further, and quickly made a portal to take his friends here.

While Yugo was bringing them here, Kye walked up to Tarica, a sense of gratitude in his heart. "Thank you so much for understanding, teacher. You see, my friends are the first people who supported me in my life. And I don't want to lose them no matter what. I wouldn't mind going to hell and bringing them back here if I had to." He said this while looking at her directly in the eyes, making Tarica see how true his words were.

But she felt bad hearing those words. She would have done anything to stay with her child, but if she were to do so at that time, Kye would have surely died. After all, no one knows about Kye's real identity apart from her, her husband, and a few very trusted servants.

And to keep him alive, she had to leave him to his humans' parents who treated him well, but unfortunately died and let him suffer alone.

"Don't worry, Kye. I understand your feeling." She smiled at him so beautifully that it was breathtaking. "You need to be surrounded by the people you love in your life if you want to live to the fullest. However, I should still give you one piece of advice."

"Yes? What is it?"

"I know that you care deeply for them and would die for them, but be careful about what you do." She then looked away as she saw her son's friends coming one after another. Kye quickly followed her gaze. "A true friend is like a bird in flight - they soar with you through the skies, but if you try to clip their wings, they will fly away. They are also like a mirror that reflects your flaws and imperfections, yet still shows you the beauty within. A powerful friendship is one built on mutual trust and respect, where each person is free to be themselves and pursue their own path, but always has a supportive friend by their side. Please take the time to think about this to not let them drive away from you." She looked back at her son with a lovely smile before going back to her work.
