Chapter 119 "I Don’t Want To Be Merciful To Those Kinds Of Jerks"
"Well anyways~, do you want to talk about it Enzo?"
Enzo looked at Kye for a moment without saying anything. But after a minute, he finally mustered the courage to tell him what was weighing on his heart. "It's just that I feel like you never hang out with me. You always play with Sylvia at the VR, hang out with Lidi after your fighting class, stay with Ven between every class, and play with Yugo in your room. As for me, we never do anything at all. I wouldn't even have seen you this week if it wasn't for the exam the other day.
"I know that I look like a child and act like a child, but I feel like I'm left aside, even though I'm sure you're not doing that on purpose..."
Kye and Ven stayed silent for an unknown amount of time.
Ven had the impression that Enzo was really acting like a child. He didn't know if Kye's holy energy was still affecting him or not, but from what he told him, it wasn't the case anymore. So it was only a caprice from Enzo's side. And it wasn't as if Kye had to hang out with him either every time. They were already friends, so he couldn't force him to do that.
However, Kye's train of thought was completely different from Ven's.
Unlike him, he seriously thought that he had done something bad. He thought that everything was good between him and his friend, but it looked like he was wrong. 'Now that I think about it since I came back, I only focused on befriending Ven again and must have let the other alone. And Enzo must be the one I left the most alone.
'Seriously Kye, are you a dumbass or what? Why did you do that to him? He even said it, if it wasn't for the exam, we wouldn't even have seen each other. Arghh what a dumbass, I swear!'
Kye thought with a frown but quickly changed his expression because Enzo will surely think that his frown was related to his behavior, whereas it wasn't the case at all.
"I'm sorry, Enzo. It wasn't my intention at all."
"..." Enzo didn't say anything and only turned around and was ready to leave.
"W-wait Enzo, don't go!" Kye stood up from his seat and hurried toward Enzo. "I'm sorry. I promise I'm not going to do the same mistake ever again."
"And how can I know that you're telling me the truth?" Enzo answered coldly.
"I don't know what the future holds for us, but what I'm sure of is that I'll try my best to satisfy you as well," Kye said in a hurry. "I know that I left you alone those last few weeks, so please, forgive me."
Enzo looked Kye in the eyes without saying anything. He still wanted to go and be left alone. However, Kye's next words pained him way too much. Not to add the tears which were flowing down his beautiful blue eyes.
"Please stay..." Kye said with a low voice and tears were already on his cheeks. He wasn't even daring to look at Enzo anymore.
"*Sigh* Seriously I feel like an asshole now." Enzo sighed and patted Kye's head before going back to sit next to Kye.
"Does that mean you're staying?"
"Yeah, and sorry for making you cry. It wasn't my intention..."
"It's okay. It's my fault anyways..."
Ven in all this story looked at them annoyingly. He felt as if Enzo was acting way too childish, even making Kye cry for him. If it was him, he would have punched himself for having done such a bad thing to his best friend.
'*Sigh* I seriously need to be careful with my behavior.' Ven thought internally.
The boys chatted while waiting for the others.
Approximately fifteen minutes later, everyone was there and they all ate happily. They all talked about the incoming exam and how their teams were annoying. They wouldn't listen to anything or be really weak, even when they actually wanted to work hard.
The grouping system was made really badly from their point of view. Sure the military wanted to give more chances to those who were working on everything that they needed to learn, but still. Everyone couldn't be good at fighting. Yet the military was 'forcing' almost everyone to fight.
And after calming down a little bit, Kye finally asked what he wanted.
"Guys, I wanted to meet with all of you today because I have something important to tell you." Kye attracted their attention.
"Did you get a girlfriend?" Lidi asked as a vein looked like it pop out out of nowhere on her forehead.
"Who is she?" Sylvia asked with the same expression.
"Or is it a boyfriend?" Ven decided to tease Kye by playing along with the girls.
"Nah, I'm not with anyone, you don't have to worry about that. And Ven, you know what I want to talk about already, so stop messing around." He sighed as he saw Ven stick his tongue like a child and Yugo slap his head kindly.
"Thank god." Sylvia and Lidi sighed in relief. They wouldn't let their little brother be with someone unworthy of his angelness.
"Anyways... The reason why I wanted to meet with everyone was that I heard from Ven the other day that you all wanted to take revenge for my death, but didn't because you wanted to respect my forgiving self."
Everyone's expression turned serious and they stopped joking when they heard that. It wasn't a laughable matter after all, so they needed to be as serious as they could.
"And I wanted to thank you for your decision, but still, let's take revenge. I'm not a pushover, and those two bastards need to be put in their places, don't you guys agree? I would have died if it wasn't for my luck. And I don't want to be merciful to those kinds of jerks."
