My Angelic System

"Holy god what was that?" Kye expressed his amazement after seeing John lying on the ground.

"K-Kye, were you the one who did that?" Enzo looked at his friend with a little tint of fear. He didn't know that he had such a grudge against them to burn them completely.

"N-no, I mean yes, but I didn't expect that," Kye explained to his scared friend. "I trained a lot, but I didn't know that it could do such a thing. I didn't expect it to have so much power."

"What do you mean you didn't know?"

"Literally, I didn't know. I never expected the arrow to have such effects, nor did thought it could re-form on its own. Sure I throw it to him, but I didn't know it would have hurt him that much."

"*Sigh*, seriously, you're stronger than I expected."

"Well... Anyways, is he alive?"

"Yeah, he's still breathing and his pulse is still present, so you don't have to worry."

"Thank god. I didn't want to have the blood of another person on my hands."

Enzo didn't expect this answer, so he just looked at Kye's back without saying anything. He was a little shocked about what he did and his statement, but it wasn't as if he could do something about it. On the contrary, he was glad that Kye was his dearest friend, and that he didn't try to bully him much before when they were still strangers. Who knows what will have happened to him if he were to go against him and people who possessed great abilities?

He didn't really want to think of the possibility since he was sure it would have been a torture. "Thank god I'm your friend."

Kye turned toward him and didn't know why Enzo said that. "I'm sorry Enzo, I swear it wasn't my intention to do that. I wouldn't have attacked him like this if I knew." He even looked to the ground, not daring to make eye contact with him.

His relationship with him just improved a few hours ago, so he didn't want to go back to the point of no return.

"It's okay, Kye. Don't worry too much about it. I was just a little surprised, that's all. And there's no harm in you being strong, right? On the contrary, it's very good. Like this, I would be able to sleep knowing that I can protect yourself.

"Really?" Kye still looked toward the ground.

"Yeah, don't worry." Enzo decided to pat his head since at this rate, he didn't know of a better way to make Kye feels better.

And like magic, Kye indeed felt better since he started smiling again.

The boys then headed to the infirmary to treat John. His burns were very deep, and they didn't want him to die... yet.

"Are you serious?" Ven slapped the wall he was leaning on. They were taking a break from their morning training. Leo and Elisa stayed by themselves, while Kye and Ven stayed together.

So when Ven learned what happened yesterday, he was angry with himself. "Seriously why didn't I come with you? I would have beat him to death if I were there."

"Well, I burned him to death, so I guess everything's good, right?" Ven only looked at him and didn't say anything. "Anyways, why did you do with Lidi? Shopping, right?"

"Yeah, it was awful. I don't understand how can she spend so much time to chose clothes. It's the total opposite of you. You're so fast that I wonder if you even looked at them before choosing. And yet your style is always top notch."

"Well, thanks I guess." Kye scratched the back of his head.

"Oh, by the way." Ven pulled out something from his pocket. "I've got a present for you, hope you'll like it."

"What is it?" Kye took it in his hands and tried to examine the present.

"I felt like it would suit you," Ven said in all honesty. "You only have one earring, so I feel like your other ear feels a little bit alone."

"Wow, thank you, Ven. I didn't expect that." Kye made his usual bright smile, making Ven's mood brighten. "Seriously it looks great. But I need to pierce my ear now."

"Oh, we can go to the store after we finish training..." Ven stopped what he was saying because of Kye. The latter took the earring's sharp side and plunged it into his ear. "K-Kye, what the heck are you doing?"

Ven shouted when he saw blood dripping from his ear. He even attracted the attention of Leo and Elisa.

"You're high-... I mean Kye, are you alright?"

"Kye, what happened? Is it Ven who attacked you?" She sent a menacing glare to Ven, who replied in kind.

"Why are you guys making such a big fuss?" Kye tilted his head to the side. "I just pierced my ear, that's all. And look, it already healed."

The three of them looked at him with puzzled expressions. His answer was so unexpected that they thought that Kye had weird fetishes.

"K-Kye, you're not an M, right?" Ven asked and wanted him to deny it profoundly."

"What are you talking about? And what's an 'M'?" Kye asked innocently as he checked his earring description at the same time.

Though, he couldn't read the description yet because of Leo's explanation.

"An 'M' stand for 'Masochist'. It's people who feel sexual pleasure when they feel pain." Leo explained with a straight face while Ven and Elisa looked at him seriously. "I met some in my life, and they are seriously not the greatest. They are... weird. It's not pleasant to do things with them."

Kye looked at them even more seriously than they were. And with a long sigh, he answered their question. "Guys..." He built up the tension. "I feel offended by what you thought of me. Seriously how can I feel pleasure through pain? Do you seriously see me like this?"

"No, it wasn't what we meant, but still. Piercing your ear like this as if it's nothing..."
