BXBX NOVEL Chapter 155 - Prove It
"Then, I will take my leave."
Kairen bid his farewell and left captain Neal\'s office.
\'God! What was with that exam?\'
Kairen had to write down everything he had read in that book in only one hour. Now that the exam was over, he felt like a walking corpse. His mind was numb, his back was sore, his neck was stiff, and his fingers hurt.
"Haaa!"
With a sigh, he stood in front of the elevator, waiting for it to arrive.
\'Ah, I had some messages...\'
He had to turn off his phone as he suddenly got a bunch of messages in the middle of taking the exam. Still waiting for the elevator, Kairen took out his phone and turned it on.
Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding
"...."
Kairen moved his hand, opening the messenger app. There, he could see 28 unread messages from Serria.
Ding
It became 29
"...."

[You fuck you became online why aren\'t you answering me!?!?!?!?!?!?!]
"....."
What is this?
The elevator arrived at that moment and Kairen entered it.
Kairen started typing as soon as the elevator\'s doors closed.
[Okay, I\'ll come right now.]
Looking at his phone, Kairen thought.
\'Doesn\'t this app have a message editing option?...\'
It has to have something like that...
Anyway, that was not important now.
Kairen wondered what Serria wanted to tell him so urgently, so he headed towards the park where Serria mentioned in the messages as soon as he left SMF\'s building.
Kairen could see Serria sitting on a bench after walking in the park for a few minutes. However, she wasn\'t alone. He could see Reyan standing right beside him.
"Hey, Kairen!"
Serria stood up as soon as she spotted him. She approached Kairen at a fast pace and grabbed his shoulders.
"Do you really work for Philomns?"
"...."
Surprised by the unexpected question, Kairen looked at her blankly for a moment before shaking his head.
"Of course, I don\'t."
"Prove it!"
Bam
Serria slammed Kairen to a tree.
"You are just too suspicious! Prove it!"
"Serria!"
Reyan ran towards them and separated her from Kairen.
Kairen lowered his head, not saying anything.
\'These people keep telling me to prove it. Do they think it is easy?\'
Reyan stood between the two of them.
"Hey, Serria! Stop it!"
He peeked at Kairen before commenting again.
"You also know that it can\'t be true. We all know that."
Serria gritted her teeth and glared at Reyan.
"Oh yeah? Right! It can\'t be true!"
She glared at Reyan.
"But how do the others think? Did you see those fools this morning, babbling behind his back???"
"...."
Reyan frowned even more.
"Well, it\'s obvious that they would be suspicious!"
"Right! It is obvious! But the fact that this bitch-"
Serria pointed at Kairen.
"Doesn\'t care at all makes me so pissed that I want to punch him in the face!"
As she said that, Serria pushed Reyan back and grabbed Kairen by the collar.
"Those people don\'t have the right to talk behind my friend\'s back! Do you get it? I don\'t care if you don\'t give a shit, but you have to give a shit because I do give a shit!"
Serria powerfully shook Kairen as she yelled that.
"Do you understand it? If I get into a fight and get expelled it\'s all your fault! Do you get it?? Do something already! Why don\'t you talk to them? If you can\'t prove it, at least tell them that you know nothing because you\'ve lost your memories! Hey! Are you listening to me?"
Kairen frowned while looking at Serria\'s face.
\'It\'s annoying.\'
The whole situation was so annoying.
From Kain and Alessia spying on him to Glenn\'s scary words and now Serria\'s actions, everything was going on his nerves.
He was here, forced to live someone else\'s life and having to deal with someone else\'s problems. The only thing he wanted was to go back home, yet he had to prove that he was innocent.
Kairen was still annoyed by the fact that his, no not his, but the previous Kairen\'s family were spying on him. It was so hard for him to keep calm at home and act normally that he gave up on resting and forced his way to work.
And now, his friends were acting like this.
He was so pissed. Everything in his life was so annoying.
He could feel his blood pressure rise and his heart beat faster and faster. He even felt dizzy for a moment as the anger took over his mind.
Kairen grabbed Serria\'s hands and angrily tried to push her away.
"Can you shut up?"
"What?"
"I said shut up and let go of me!"
Serria, shocked by Kairen\'s sudden change of attitude, subconsciously released his collar.
This time, Kairen grabbed her collar.
"You think I enjoy this situation? Do you think I\'m happy that I\'m a suspect? Do you think I\'m having fun? Do you think I don\'t want to do anything? I don\'t even know what is happening and you all gang up to go on my nerves?"
"....."
"...."
Serria blinked her eyes and peeked at Reyan. Reyan was frozen in his place, staring at Kairen with his eyes wide open.
"I should do something? What am I supposed to do? Huh? Answer me! Go grab that man and ask him why he didn\'t kill me? Is it my fault that he suddenly changed his mind?"
Kairen yelled louder.
"He let me live, why are you so disappointed bout that? Would you be happier if he just killed me there? Right! No one would say shit if I died just there! I was about to get killed because the team leader couldn\'t get his shit together and deal with a single man, and yet I am the one who is getting all the blame? Because I am alive?"
"Um... Kairen... I didn\'t mean that-"
"Maybe I had to beg him to kill me to prove that I\'m not one of them? Huh? What was I supposed to do?"
"Listen, Kairen, that is not-"
"Shut up Serria! And you Reyan, don\'t touch me!"
Reyan, who was about to grab Kairen and pull him back, flinched and stepped back.
"What am I soppused to do? Prove that I\'m not one of them?"
Kairen shook Serria.
"How am I going to prove something that I myself am not sure about it being true? You two know as well that I don\'t have a fucking memory of my past! You want me to go tell them that I don\'t have any memories? Do you think that is enough to persuade them? Do you even have a mind to think? No! The only thing you are capable of is yelling at me!"
"...."
"...."
The fact that Kairen didn\'t know about his past made him scared. He wanted to do as Glenn said. He wanted to prove he was innocent, but he was scared.
What if this dude really wasn\'t innocent?
From the beginning, Kairen kept finding himself in trouble because of the power he had. A power that he knew nothing about.
What would he do if he was really a criminal?
Forget about going back home, they would kill him if that was true, or maybe throw him behind the bars for the rest of his life.
"I was a suspect from the beginning! Why? Because I have a shitty power that I don\'t know how I\'d got it? Because it resembles the power they use in their weapons? What am I doing to do about it when I know nothing??? Is it my problem that this power is a little bit similar to what Philomns use? Heck, I don\'t even know what they mean about the power that Philomns use!"
"Um..."
Serria nervously smiled.
"Listen... I didn\'t mean that..."
"What did you mean then? You\'ve come yelling at me that I need to do something about this shit! Do you think I don\'t know that? You think I don\'t want to do that?"
Ignoring Serria and Reyan, Kairen kept yelling.
"You called me here to remind me how miserable I am? Don\'t you have better things to do than to go on people\'s nerves?"
"I-I didn\'t mean-"
"Do you think you can say whatever you want and do whatever you like, then say you didn\'t mean that? Do you know what? You really suck! Did you get that? You don\'t want people to talk behind your friend\'s back? None of my business! If you don\'t like it, don\'t be friends with a miserable person!"
"H-hey what are you-"
"Shut up!"
"Dude you are going too far!"
Reyan, who was frozen in his place until now like a statue, grabbed Kairen and pulled him back by force.
Kairen could see Serria\'s face turn white, but he didn\'t care. He couldn\'t contain the anger that had been piling up inside his heart for a few days, or maybe weeks and months anymore.
"I don\'t know how, but I WANT and WILL prove that I have nothing to do with them and there was no need for YOU to remind me of it!"
Kairen glared at Serria one last time and pushed Reyan aside.. Gritting his teeth, he started walking away from them.
