BXBX NOVEL Chapter 107 Paying Back
Roots formed above the ground and quickly rushed toward the pale-looking girl. They lifted her in the air while restraining her completely. The root also stretched her body a lot and a cracking sound could be heard in the hallway.
The students forming the circle all took a step back when they heard the crying sound and screaming of the poor girl.
However, there was one student who wasn\'t scared and quickly rushed toward the scene and cut all the roots with a sword that appeared out of nowhere.
This boy looked magnificent and very kind. "You over there, take her to the infirmary."
The boy who was obviously Kye ordered one of the students, and she did as she was told immediately.
"You!!!" Maria gritted her teeth when she saw Kye.
"Long time no see, Maria." Kye faked a smile. "How have you been?"
"Don\'t talk as if we\'re friends!" Maria rearranged the roots around her and was ready to attack Kye. "And why don\'t you mind your own business? I was teaching her a lesson you fucker."
"I didn\'t know that killing someone was a meaning to teach them a lesson." Tension was building in the air. The students around took once again a few steps back. They could even almost see sparks forming between the both of them. "Or maybe you wanted to teach me a lesson back then as well?"
Maria stiffened when she heard that. Did he know something? Would he report it to the principal or other professors? She was thinking hastily but quickly recovered her composure. \'No, I have Azul covering my back, so I don\'t risk anything.\'
However, even a little change in Maria\'s expression didn\'t escape Kye\'s sharp eyes. "Seems like I hit the bull\'s head."
"W-what do you mean?"
"Oh? You\'re even stuttering now?" Kye chuckled provocatively.
"You son of a bitch!" Maria yelled. She couldn\'t take such an insult from trash like him. So she didn\'t hesitate to swing the roots that were forming since earlier toward Kye.
The people witnessing the scene closed their eyes because they didn\'t want to see someone else suffering. But the only thing they could hear was the roots clashing against the ground.
So they opened their eyes, only to see Maria panting ferociously, and Kye smiling in the middle of all the roots without even a scratch on his body or clothes.
"You\'re pretty slow," Kye said as he slowly walked toward Maria. The latter waved her hand rashly and another set of roots swung towards Kye, but he only swung his sword a few times and all the roots were once again cut.
It was so impressive that everyone\'s jaw dropped to the ground. They even took a look at his level several times, but the only thing they could see was low level, which impressed them greatly because Maria was level 6, so it was strange that Kye could be so imposing with such a big difference in their levels.
But it seems that what they were witnessing was very much real.
"I don\'t even know why I was so scared of you back then." Kye sighed as he approached Maria. "I should\'ve fought back when you were bullying me."
"You lowly trash, don\'t come near me!" Maria stepped back and still waved her hand to command her roots, but they were all cut down by Kye.
The latter then got a little bored and rushed toward Maria with his sword against her throat. "You\'re lucky that we\'re in the military\'s territory right now. I wouldn\'t have been so kind if we were elsewhere."
He said with cold eyes.
It looked so cold that Maria got a chill running down her spine. Kye\'s eyes looked as if they didn\'t harbor any emotions anymore, and it scared her greatly.
"Well anyways, I guess I should go now." Kye smiled and the atmosphere around them went back to normal. "Bye~, see you another time~."
Maria looked at Kye\'s back, and once she couldn\'t see him anymore, her legs felt weak. She didn\'t expect to get so pressured by him that she felt as if she was facing an adult. \'What did he endure when he was away to feel so threatening?\' Maria thought, scared about what would have happened if this situation were to happen outside the military.
So without hesitation, she stood up and went toward the professor\'s office.

\'It seems that my training was better than I expected.\' Kye thought with a smile as he was walking in the hallway. \'I didn\'t expect to beat her so easily. Sure she didn\'t give her all and only used her roots to attack, but still. They felt so slow that I could predict their movement without issues.
\'But well, I guess it\'s normal. Compared to Ras\' speed or Aria\'s speed, Maria\'s attacks were much much more slower. Guess that being beaten up so much was beneficial in the end.\'
As he thought that, he remembered his time with his two masters. It was a hard time but also one of the greatest memories he had now. However, he couldn\'t feel down so much, so he decided to go and train his ability. He still didn\'t know how to use it properly even after so many times had passed.
He thought multiple times of ways of using it, but never really got the chance to test his theories. His friends wouldn\'t let him train and wanted to hang out with him to make up for the lost time.
\'I should talk with Ven as well. I don\'t want him to stay cold with me. He was my second friend, and he\'s still precious to me.\'
Kye set up his next course of action. It was hurting him a lot to see Ven avoiding him so much. And as his best friend, Kye didn\'t want to stay on such terms with him. He wanted to laugh and play with him again, like the old times.
But for now, it would have to wait since he needed to train his ability.
