Chapter 97 There’s Nothing Left To Do
"Kye, let's wrap things up for today," Ras said with an exciting voice, and the latter tilted his head to the side.
"Why? Didn't we just come an hour or two ago? I can still train? Kye asked genuinely. His body was stiff and tension was slowly building all around his body, but he could continue for a few hours.
"For you, it only seems like a few hours had passed, but in reality, almost an entire day passed."
"What?"
"And resting is also part of your training," Ras didn't even care about what Kye said and continued. "I'm sure you can still go on like this since you now have a high endurance because you became an angel, but you will only suffer more if you do so."
"Then what should I do?"
"Go to the resting room and rest there. We will continue your training only when I will deem your body ready again, are we clear?"
"Yes master," Kye quickly said before walking rapidly toward the door. He also immediately entered the other door, which was the resting room.
Immediately after closing the door, Kye could feel that the atmosphere inside this room was far different than the meditation room. Where the latter was helping him control his energy more easily, this room made his body and mind feel relaxed, as if he had just entered a comfy bed and was ready to sleep. Though, he decided to take a shower first since he was drenched in sweat. And there was a separate door that indicated 'bathroom'.
While Kye was busy resting, Ras went back to the living room and waited for Aria to finish her business. She took a break earlier and decided to create a mental link with him, but she had to go back to work.
So he waited for about two hours before Aria finally came back. "So what did you mean that 'Kye is a monster?" She immediately asked what was on her mind for hours now.
"I'm not meaning it literally," Ras didn't keep the suspense and answered truthfully. "There's no way he's a monster like us or those in our territories. What I mean by him being a monster is that he learns things insanely fast!"
Aria sighed in relief hearing that. "I'm glad it's just that. Things would have gotten very difficult with other mythical monsters. You seriously don't know how much you scared me on this right now."
"Hehe, sorry for that," Ras scratched the back of his head. "But it was amazing."
"Care to explain with more details?"
Ras nodded before explaining everything he asked him to do. From the first stage of his training to the last one he did before resting. He also compared him to other angels so that Aria could understand why he was so surprised.
But he didn't have to make the comparison since she already knew how hard it was to control holy energy or even demonic energy. She sure wasn't good with teaching, but in terms of knowledge, she was just behind dragons. So she expected Kye to finish all of his training after around a year or something along those lines, but it seems she was completely mistaken.
"This would probably be even greater than what it could have been if he were to be a monster," Aria said in a low voice, but Ras still picked up what she said.
"What do you mean? Isn't it great?" He tilted his head to the side.
"I would say yes and no," She explained. "Yes because he will be able to defend himself sooner than we thought. However, also no because I'm sure that those old people, be it monsters, angels, demons, or even humans, would try to kill such an anomaly. And their will is going to be reinforced if they discover their talent at learning things.
"They will surely try to recruit him first, but once they will say that they can't do that, they will try to eliminate him. And unfortunately, that's how creatures in this world are. If they can't get something, then no one can."
Ras immediately understood what she wanted to say by this. "Then we need to hide him."
"The question is how," Aria said. "We both know that he won't stay here forever. He wants to go back to his friends, and we can't stop him if it's what he wants. And judging by his learning speed, he would probably go back in less than a month."
"Then can't we give him equipment or an artifact that can hide him?"
"An equipment won't be of any use against stronger enemies. As for an artifact, I don't have any. There is one thing that could help, but it's unfortunately as rare as your feathers."
"Chris' scale?" Aria nodded.
Chris was the one who was opposed to Kye staying alive when Aria first told the other during her meeting about him. His real form was a giant snake. Just being near him meant death since his surrounding was filled with toxic or corrosive fog, substances, or atoms. As for his scale effect, it would just be the perfect solution to their problems.
"Chris's race is undetectable thanks to their scales," Aria explained just in case Ras forgot about it. "It hides their power, but also the energy that can be seen by others. But knowing his shitty behavior, he would never accept."
"Can't we ask him for a favor? I'm sure he won't mind if it's me or you who ask."
"First, he hates both of us the most, so it's very less likely for him to accept a request from us. And second, I advise against it." Aria said with a sigh. "I'm sure that he would ask for something impossible in return."
"What should we do then?"
After thinking for a moment, Aria finally opened her mouth, though, with a bitter taste. "We can't do anything. We should let Kye live his life for now. I'm sure there's still no one who noticed him. And until the time they would, he will become strong enough to fend for himself."
