Weeks passed, and nothing much happened. Everything came back to how it was before he was left 'dead' by the military. Lessons had begun once again for him. The weapon class continued. Exactly like before.
He also got a new watch, and as he thought when he was still on Supi, he was now level 2. Obviously, he had to reveal that he got an ability since it wasn't possible to rank up otherwise. Though, he didn't show anything since he couldn't use it yet.
He went several times to the principal office as well. It was to talk about how he lived in Supi for that long with such a big injury, and how did he manage to get his ability. For both questions, Kye only said that as he was going deeper and deeper, he found a chest. He managed to open it narrowly and saw two things in it. A bottle with a red liquid in it, and an ability orb. He drank the bottle the moment he discovered it, and miraculously, his wounds closed at a speed visible to the naked eye. So he guessed that it was a healing potion of some sort. As for the ability orb, he decided to learn it because, without a doubt, it would have increased his chance to survive by a lot.
The principal didn't believe in him at first. But after several meetings and even using the lie detector, he finally had to believe in what Kye said. The lie detector didn't detect any lies, so Kye could only have said the truth.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtDuring this time, he also checked several times the holy shop he unlocked when he became an angel. He had completely forgotten about it and only remembered a few days ago.
The shop was pretty strange at first. There were a lot of different items in it, but it was only consumable. So mostly potions like healing potions, energy recovery potions, strength potions, and so on. There were also pills that could improve Kye's stats definitively, but the price wasn't something he could just brush off.
First, the price wasn't in human currency, but something named holy deed. And currently, he only had 64 holy deeds. As for how he earned them, it was when he was doing something good. For example, helping someone when they were hurt gave him 10 holy deeds. When someone was thanking him for whatever reasons, he earned 2 holy deeds. In short, he needed to do good actions to earn holy deeds. However, it took him a long time to even get those 64 holy deeds.
And for the record, a low-grade healing potion cost 200 holy deeds, while a high-grade healing potions cost 10,000 holy deeds. However, what was more surprising was the price of the pills. One pill cost 50,000 holy deeds.
Just thinking about this amount made him dizzy.
But he continued his life like it was. He was kind to those that were kind to him, and even more ruthless to those that looked at him like trash.
Kye also hung out with his friends a lot to make up for the lost time. However, Ven only came from time to time, saying that he needed to train.
The other seemed to believe in what he said, but Kye wasn't as dense as before. He knew why Ven wasn't hanging out with him anymore. But he couldn't say anything. Ven was here for him since the beginning alongside Yugo. But the former seemed to haven't liked the fact that his friends could have been a lie all along, so he slowly began to avoid him.
For example, Ven wasn't sparring with Kye anymore during weapon classes. He also avoided him like the plague and only stayed with him when they were all hanging out together. He was also avoiding eye contact.
Though, Kye stood silent to all those clear signs. However, it pained him a lot knowing that his best friend was acting like this.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm'I guess it can't be helped.' Kye thought while he was walking alone in the academy hallway. 'Now that I think about it, I didn't see the two guys who left me when the balena attacked me since I came back. It would be good to see them again. I need to teach them a lesson or two.
'Hum, well actually I don't think it will solve anything. I mean, I will still make them pay, but it's clear that it's not them who was behind the 'assassination'. I don't think that the balena would have come to us during normal circumstances because we were near the city. So it must have been someone strong enough to attack the balena to me.
'But the question is who. And if this person indeed had the strength to attract such a strong creature, then how I am meant to beat his ass up?'
As he was thinking, he suddenly see a group of students making a circle. He slowly approached them since if he were to be of any help, he could earn a little bit of holy deeds, but the moment he saw who was inside the circle, a smile appeared on his face.
Inside the circle were two people. The first one was a level 3 girl. She didn't look that much oustanding, so Kye just look at her who was sobbing on the ground.
What attracted his attention was the one who was standing while glaring at the girl furiously. She was level 6, and Kye knew who this person was.
She was Maria, the girl who was in his group when they were on Supi, and the one who made her life hard as hell when they were together.
"You piece of trash, how dare you oppose me!" Maria said to the sobbing girl while activating her ability. She was ready to attack the defenseless girl at any time now.
'Well, I guess it's my time to shine!' Kye smiled as he quickly entered the circle of students.
