My Angelic System

However, contrary to what Kye expected, there was still no answer. So in the end, Kye only decided to wait again so that the shock could dwell down a little bit. And during this time, he thought about his ability.

'I wonder what I can currently do with this cosmic ability of mine. I should have tried to use it when I was still on Supi, what a dumb move, really.' Kye thought with an internal sigh. 'Maybe I can try to make some sort of cosmic arrow? Or would it be just a shooting star? Well, a shooting star would be quite strong, so it's probably good if I can make one with what little energy I have.'

Kye couldn't think more about his ability because his friends had finally snapped back to reality.

"When did your wings get that big?" Ven asked. He still remembered Kye's tiny and cute little wings very well.

"They transformed on their own once I was strong enough to endure the process."

"Was it painful?" Enzo asked. His earlier mood change went back to normal thanks to Kye.

"Yeah, it was. It hurt so much that I fainted the moment the pain disappeared."

Everyone only looked at him with apologetic eyes. They didn't know how painful it must have been, but if it was enough to make Kye faint, then they could only gulp down to his will. They were sure that if he were to succumb to the pain, he could have as well die. So they all thanked heaven that Kye was still alive.

[People are grateful because you are alive.

'Well, that was unexpected.'

Kye thought before continuing where he needed to stop his story earlier. He was now used to getting the system's window at unexpected moments, so it didn't phase him anymore.

"Anyways, should we continue?"

"There's still other things?" Lidi asked in shock.

"Yes, but it's not as good as you can expect."

They wouldn't have thought of anything if Kye had a normal expression on his face right now. But he, strangely enough, looked like he was quite sad.

"Ain't you guys surprised that we became friends so fast?" Kye said, dropping what he could think at the first bomb. He hoped that they would still stay friends even after what he would say later.

"I was curious at the beginning," Enzo answered. "It just looked strange to me that you could befriend Yugo, Ven, and Lidi in just a few days and weeks. I mean, your friendships looked so good to be true that it was strange. Especially since you were level one back then. But after spending a few hours with you, I understood why the bond linking you was so strong. So in the end, I didn't think much once we were a friend."

As Enzo said, it was indeed strange that they became friends so fast. Sylvia thought the same as well. But like Enzo, she quickly understood that Kye wasn't the normal guy and that it looked normal to befriend so fast with him.

But it seems that their assumption was false since Kye smiled sadly at them.

"Well, to be honest, it wasn't normal at all." Kye looked them directly in the eyes. He wanted to tell them the truth. "As I said earlier, I was only a Half-Angel when we met. And at that time, my holy energy wasn't controlled and ran away, be it inside of my body or outside. And this holy energy makes people around me act more friendly toward me the moment they have just a little sympathy toward me. And since I couldn't control it back then, this is one of the reasons that we became friends so fast.

"Of course, I'm not saying that everything we lived together was a lie. No, far from it. The moments we spent together were the best I could have lived in my entire life. So even if you don't want to stay friends with me, at least know that I'm thankful for all the moments we spent together."

This came like a bomb. No one expected such a thing, and no one managed to form even a word with their mouth. They didn't know what to think, nor did they know how to react to what Kye told them.

He told them that what they lived together were memories he would never forget, but how about them?

Were their feelings false all along?

Would they have become friends if not for Kye's holy energy?

Would they have stayed with Kye if not for this?

Neither they nor Kye did know the answer to those questions.

And because of that, the latter looks down to hide his teary eyes. He didn't want them to feel bad for him because of his feelings, so avoiding their dumbfounded look was the best solution.

And a long silence descended upon the room for about five minutes.

And thankfully for Kye, Sylvia was the first to answer him.

"Kye... I don't know if what I felt was true or not anymore. But I don't really care at this point. I know how you are, and I should even be thankful for your... holy energy. If not for it, I don't think I would have lived so many fun moments with you. So let's go have fun later."

Kye got the courage to look up, only to see Sylvia's beautiful smile. He then couldn't hold back his tears anymore and they flowed down. He was so happy that at least one of his friends was okay with it that he couldn't control them anymore.

And one after the other, they all said that it was alright. Everyone except one person.

One of Kye's best friends.

It seems like he was way more sensitive to this topic than the other and only looked down. However, Kye could see his hands forming first. His palm was getting whiter because of his finger. Though, Kye couldn't say anything since it wasn't his fault.

It wasn't Ven's fault, but his.
