BXBX NOVEL Chapter 109 A Strange Boy
Kye stood silent for quite a while and let the girl talk for the time being. He was still trying to think of a way to escape this situation, but he wasn't good at finding such ways. So in the end, he asked. "What do you mean by superior to a human? I'm a human too, and a low-level one at that. So how could I be superior to people?"
He tried to feign ignorance, but it looked harder than it seems since the girl didn't seem to believe in what he was saying.
"Come on Kye, don't play dumb. I can't say some words since we're in the open right now, but I know your real identity."
The pretty girl couldn't say a lot of things since they were in the middle of the hallway, and if someone were to hear them, it could lead to some unfortunate consequences. That was why she asked to go somewhere where they could talk freely.
But as Kye was feigning ignorance, the girl seemed to get a little upset.
"Why are you trying so hard to stitch out words from my mouth? I don't know anything. I don't even know you either, so stop bothering me."
Kye said as he turned and walked away.
The girl, not wanting to leave him alone gripped his wrist. However, what happened next sent a chill down her spine.
When she hold onto Kye's wrist, the latter looked back at her. But instead of a normal look, Kye's eyes were filled with annoyance. It was as if a lion was looking down on a mouse. There were even golden hues in his eyes. And because of that, she unbeknownst let go of his wrist.
Kye didn't think much about what happened and why the girl in front of him stiffened so much, but he couldn't care less since he found Ven entering one of the military's training rooms. He quickly ran there, only to be stopped mid-way by someone else.
"Hi hi~, how are you, Kye? Do you mind if we talk for a second?"
The boy who said that was so handsome that Kye had difficulties knowing if it was even human-like. He looked strangely seductive as well. However, since he knew that this boy was following for quite some days now, it wasn't good to be fixed on such a thing.
"First, how do you know my name? And second, who are you?"
Kye's questions weren't off, so he was sure that the boy in front of him wouldn't suspect that he was suspecting him.
"Well, you're pretty well-known, you know~? So it's normal that I know your name," He said with a smile that looked too otherwordly to be normal. "And you can call me Leo, that's my name."
Kye looked at him suspiciously but just sighed in the end. "So? What do you want, Leo?"
The latter made a mischievous smile when he heard his question. "You do know what I want~, little angel~."
He said the last part with an inaudible voice, but Kye heard him very well. And like earlier, he was once again wondering how in the world this guy could know who he was. Though, he quickly calmed down and asked with a fake flushed face and stuttered.
"I-I don't know what you're t-talking about. And why did you call me an angel?"
His act looked perfect as the boy in front of him seemed to have completely believed in him. He had such a dumbfounded face that Kye had difficulties keeping his flushed face and not laughing.
"You must be kidding me, right?" He asked with a wry smile.
"What do you mean?" Kye asked innocently.
The boy looked him in the eyes while thinking. 'It's strange. I'm sure that I sensed holy energy last time, and the faint trace lead me to him, so I'm sure it's not the other bitch. But he seems to not know about it, which is just too strange. Doesn't he know that he's an angel? Or maybe he isn't one? But how did I sense his energy then?'
As Kye had guessed a little, Leo wasn't human. He had a special trait that allowed him to sense people's energies easily. So the moment Kye used a tiny bit of his energy, he knew that he wasn't normal. So he followed him to know more about him. But he was just dumbfounded when Kye looked like he didn't even know who he was.
But since he couldn't do anything about it now, he just gave up and decided to observe him a little more before reporting it to the higher of his race.
"I see... Well, I guess I bothered you for nothing," He smiled. "Anyways thank you for your time. I'll go now." He bowed his head a little and went away.
Kye looked at his back for a moment, relieved that he had escaped this 'interrogatory' without any issue. He then decided to move since it would have been suspicious if he were to look too long to Leo's back.
'Ah right, where's Ven again?' He thought as he remembered that Ven went training. 'Isn't he training too much? He was the one who always wanted to hang out and never wanted to train. But here he is now, training without rest.'
Kye thought as he was observing Ven from afar. He could see him fight against a training dummy at the hardest level. No need to say that Ven was losing easily. The training dummy was so fast that Ven could only dodge a few times at skin length, or parry its attack while sustaining injuries because of the strength behind each of the dummy's strikes.
However, he seems to have improved a lot. His mastery over gravity seemed to have reached another realm, while his physical abilities had improved a lot.
'I guess Ven's title is fit for him.' Kye thought as he sat and observed Ven training. He didn't want to bother him, so he decided to wait for him to finish his training.
