Chapter 176 Spiritual gaze

Chapter 176 Spiritual gaze

After Kyle was done testing his talent he left the stage, all this while Nine sharp gaze followed his back.

'Talent doesn't matter I will still take out my frustration on you!'

He made up his mind inwardly. They were given a tour of the Academy and afterward, Nine reluctantly went to his assigned dorm but he was surprised to see Kyle entering the room next to him.

Kyle stopped for a moment and glanced around with a nonchalant expression. Nine body stiffened but he didn't know whether to laugh or cry when Kyle's gaze swept past him like a flash. The latter didn't even seem to recognize him!

After Kyle disappeared inside the room, Nine scoffed and entered his room while forming a plan to take a small revenge on Kyle. Afterward, he would leave the Academy. Anyway, he was only here because he got curious.

The next day, after checking the first-year schedule he went to classes but unlike the eager students, Kyle wasn't seen in the classes for a whole week!

He clicked his tongue and threw Kyle out of his mind but then Professor Aliza suddenly asked the class if they knew anything about 'Kyle Ohan'. Her voice was a little angry when she asked them to remind Kyle about the upcoming ranking assessment.

Nine smiled mischievously when he saw her frown, as a good neighbor he instantly wanted to do his duty and tell Kyle about the angry Professor. He wanted to see panic on Kyle's nonchalant face!

He laughed evilly and went back to his room. The next day, he saw Kyle standing in front of the dorm and his eyes sparkled with amusement.

Nine cleared his throat and after patting his clothes he called out to Kyle who was going to enter his dorm.

"Kyle? Right."

Kyle turned around and instead of his usual nonchalant expression, he looked at Nine with a frown.

"Yes, it's me."

Nine blinked he was here to see Kyle's reaction but he got a little nervous when Kyle stared at him directly.

He stretched out his right hand with a smile.

"It's nice meeting you, I am Nine."

Kyle looked at him from head to toe. Nine's eyebrow twitched and he almost had the urge to leave because it took Kyle a whole minute just to grab his hand.

"As you already know, my name is Kyle. It's nice meeting you too."

Nine looked at Kyle with a forced smile he was going to say something when he felt a familiar jolt of pain in his eyes. He winced inwardly and an image of a man appeared inside his mind.

His mind was blank for a second as he saw the man standing within a sea of blue flames. The man was flying and Nine could only see his back but even his back looked majestic. Just a single glance and Nine was sure the individual was powerful enough to crush anyone with a single move.

A shocked expression appeared on his face as he stared at Kyle in a daze. His mind raced with only a single question.

'How?'

How was it possible for Kyle to become so strong when he only had (B)-Rank talent? His pupils contracted the next second when he sensed Kyle's rank. It was (F+)-Rank!

The only people who reached (F+)-Rank were Alec, Carcel, Lara, and Mia but they all had incredible talents!

On the other hand, Kyle sensed Nine shocked gaze and he instantly hid his aura but for the next few seconds, there was an awkward silence.

"So why did you call for me?"

Nine finally snapped out of his stupor when Kyle broke the silence.

He smiled and looked at Kyle. This time his smile was wider as he hurriedly tossed the plan of taking revenge on Kyle out of the window and instead decided to befriend him.

With time they become close and Nine knew even though their friendship started because of a weird vision, Kyle was his first genuine friend!

After spending some time with Kyle, he learned a lot of things about him. Unlike his outer nonchalant appearance, Kyle was a very observant and trustworthy person. He was also sharp but for some reason, he disliked interacting with others.

Nine chuckled and sat down on the bed thinking about how his small revenge turned into friendship.

"I still want revenge for those bad remarks but damn he is too strong! I can't catch up no matter how much I try!"

He grumbled and after a while a serious expression appeared on his face. After entering the academy he saw a few more visions related to his classmates but today when Kyle tapped his shoulder on the training ground, it almost made him panic because what he saw wasn't something good.

It was only a single image but Nine was sure it was going to happen very soon because in the vision Kyle's appearance looked the same as now.

The image showed an area filled with tall green grass and wild weeds, Kyle was lying alone between the grass with tattered clothes. His eyes were shut and a lot of bloodied injuries could be seen on his whole body.

"I wasn't going to participate in the tournament but after seeing the vision I think it's related to the tournament. I need to stop this from happening!"

A determined expression appeared on his face. Even though Nine knew Kyle would be fine because he had already seen him standing in a sea of blue flames with a majestic presence he didn't want to take any risk.

The vision Nine saw had never been wrong before because his ability was related to nature.

"I need to make sure Kyle avoids this situation. If someone dared to kidnap or attack him in the presence of so many strong Professors and Vice Principal George that person would be really strong."

"I am too weak. I need to start working hard if I want to help him!"

Nine groaned and he decided to work even harder from now on.

....

Meanwhile, in the training ground. Kyle panted heavily as he lay down on the ground with a tired expression.

"I can't run anymore."

Bia sighed and sat down beside him.

-'I think today's training is a little brutal.'

Kyle winced as he moved his legs to relax his tired muscles.

'Just a little brutal?'

He scoffed and looked at the other top students who were still trying their best to run. The only person who seemed to be in a better condition was Alec.

Professor Liam looked at Kyle's figure and finally gave the signal to stop.

"Okay. It's enough for today. I will see you all tomorrow with the other students."

He chuckled with a satisfied expression and left the panting students alone. Alec looked at the fading back of the Professor before sitting down to calm his breath. Carcel, Lara, Mia, and the other top students had already slumped down with panting breaths.

After a while, Kyle stretched his legs with a sigh.

"I am not coming here tomorrow! I am taking a day off!"

He grumbled and Alec looked at him with a tired expression.

"I am not coming as well. He seemed to be taking revenge because we scared the other students too much when we fought each other."

After a while, they finally had the strength to stand up. They all dragged their bodies toward the exit. noVe-1b.In

While walking, Kyle thought for a while and looked at Alec.

"Anyway, Do you know what happened to Nine?"

Alec gazed at him with surprise. The first question that appeared in his mind was why was Kyle asking him this question. Shouldn't he ask this to Nine?

"I don't know. We should go and see him tomorrow."

Kyle nodded he just wanted to know if Alec was able to know something like this with the system.

After Kyle left, Alec massaged his temples and looked at his fading back.

'Why do I feel like Kyle knows something? No.. it's not possible.'

He shook his head and threw the thought at the back of his head before thinking about Nine. Even though he told Kyle he didn't know anything he had an idea as to what was wrong with Nine.

'I wonder what he saw? I just hope it's not something bad.'

Alec's eyes gaze at the system interference. He thought about it and a familiar screen appeared in front of him.

'I have to say I was quite shocked after seeing this but it's fine even though he isn't a human he is one of my friends. Also, I am one hundred percent sure he saw something again that's why he looked weak and sick.'

Alec sighed and went back to his room to rest.
