Chapter 17 Kye's Real Identity
Chapter 17 Kye's Real Identity
Since there were at least thirty rocks in Kye's body, Ven took a lot of time to take them all off.
Every single rock could affect him badly if he took it the wrong way, so he needed to do it with extra care.
Though, every time he took off one, he could see Kye's natural regeneration doing an amazing job. It was as if he wasn't looking at a human being anymore, but another race with powerful regenerative ability.
So every time Yugo and Ven saw that, they were amazed. And thanks to his regeneration ability, everything went well.
Kye's body was extremely cold at the beginning because of the blood loss. It was as if he was dying slowly but surely.
But every time they took a rock off his body, his body heat went up by a bit. And after almost two hours, they had finally finished, and Kye was as good as new.
He didn't have any holes in his body anymore because it had regenerated completely.
Though, they had taken his clothes off to do a better job. But what they saw when they took them off shocked them even more than anything else.
On his back, there were tiny white-feathers wings.
Seeing that, they thought at the beginning that he was a beast with a human appearance, but they hadn't seen any beast like that in their lives, so in the end, they just thought that Kye wasn't completely human.
But the question was how?
Surely the military would have known it if he wasn't completely human, right? They wouldn't let pass something like that right?
So that only means that Kye experienced something after he came to the military's ground.
But then, they could only theorize about that. They needed to wait for him to wake up, and for him to be more comfortable, they washed him before putting him to bed.
And it was almost nighttime when they were completely done.
"Man, I really thought that we would have lost him at the beginning," Ven said after lying down on his bed. He was exhausted because of the constant use of his ability.
"Yeah, me too. I didn't expect him to be that resistant," Yugo answered while taking a little bit of water. "Normal people would have already died from the blood loss."
"But his natural regeneration just saved him. We just did a minimal task by taking the rock off his body; So in the end, it makes me wonder, who is really Kye?" Ven said while having a headache. All of this seems more complicated than what he was just seeing.
"I really don't know," Yugo answered honestly. "I just met him a few hours ago before you, so we're on the same page right now," He then looked toward the sleeping Kye while thinking that."
"Then do you think he is an angel?"
"From where did you get that from?" Yugo chuckled.
"I mean, don't you think so too?" Ven asked. "The little wings on his back. The fact that he used a golden ray while he's not supposed to have any ability. His impressive regenerative ability that's supposed to be an ability in itself. And last but not least, his sudden handsomeness."
Hearing him, Yugo couldn't help but agree with him. Everything he had just said was true, and he couldn't deny it. And once he put everything with the things he knew about angels, it made sense.
"I get where you want to come from, but why the last part?"
"I mean, he wasn't as handsome as now the first time I met him. He was just average. And I'm sure you can agree with me on this point. But all of sudden, this morning, he suddenly gets more handsome," Ven explained. As he said, it was strange for someone to pass from average to handsome in not even a day.
"So you're telling me that his handsomeness is a part of him being an angel?"
"Yeah!" Ven agreed immediately. "Aren't angels supposed to be extremely handsome beings? So that would explain how he get this handsome in such a short amount of time."
"Then does that mean that he became an angel during lunch?" Yugo finally connected all the dots. "But that doesn't make any sense. Things like that only exist in books and fiction."
"That's what I'm thinking too. It doesn't make any sense at all. Except if he had external help, but it doesn't make sense either. This external person would have been detected by the military."
"Yeah. And in the end, we just discovered one little thing. That Kye is an angel and not a human. But we don't know anything else."
"You're right," Ven said with sleepy eyes. "But what are we supposed to do now?"
"What do you mean?"
"Like, do we ask him what he is and who he is once he wakes up?"
After thinking for a moment, Yugo finally answered. "I don't think that's a good idea."
"And why's that?"
"Let me ask you this first," Yugo said with a serious tone. "Do you care about Kye enough to be his friend and cover for what he did?"
Hearing that, Ven thinks for a moment. Yugo's tone was too serious to just be a joke, so he needed to think carefully about that. He couldn't give a half-a** answer after all.
Did he really want to be his friend? Would he be able to cover for what he did?
"I think yes, definitely," Ven finally said. "I mean, I'm already an accomplice in the story by helping him," As he said, he was already in this mess even if he didn't want to. So he might as well stay like this. "And yes, I want to be his friend. A best friend even. But I just have the impression that it's Kye who doesn't want, to be honest. I think he is putting some barriers between him and us."
"Right? That's what I think too," Yugo nodded before continuing. "Anyway, since you still want to be in this mess, let me tell you why this isn't a good idea to ask him.
"First, you saw how he reacted when we wanted to help him but he just yelled at us not to. He was scared, and that only means that he can't trust us yet. So he's just gonna back off even more if we ask him."
"Fair enough, how about the second point?" Ven said.
"Do you really think he will tell us the truth?" Yugo said. "It's the same for my first statement too, but if he can't trust us, it's because one, we just met yesterday, and two, he got bullied by people since he was little. So he must have big trust issues. I wonder if he isn't constantly asking himself if we don't have any hidden agenda by staying with him and wanting to be his friends."
"Arghhh, I hate it that you're so right," Ven said while hitting his bed with his feet. "So we don't know anything?"
"Yeah, that's the best thing to do."
"But won't he suspect that something if we don't say anything either?"
"Well, it's better that he is the one who came at us than the contrary," Yugo said. "And he could as well just think that we didn't notice anything or that we don't care. Either way, it will just benefit us since it would just make our friendship stronger, right?"
"Yeah, you're right," Ven said as he almost slept. "Well, we just need to wait for him to wake up. And don't forget to wake up early. We can't let him go alone or he's going to have problems, be it with the military or high-level kids," He said these last things before sleeping.
"Yeah, you too," Yugo said as he turned the lights off and began sleeping too.
This first day at the academy had been long and tiring. And a lot of events had passed too.
