"Well, appearance doesn't really matter right? A person or a monster can look but be actually weak at the same time." Anthony said while lifting the glasses on his face with two fingers.
"That's right! That's right."
Kidd nodded his head with approval. "Anthony has a point. Who knows? If he only managed to kill the people with some strange ability."
Then Kidd turned his head at Fein. "I've been meaning to ask. What's up with your hair and left eye?"
Michael, Gregory, and Anthony turned their heads to Fein when they heard Kidd's question. They were also curious about Fein's sudden change of appearance...
"What do you want to say? There's no difference if he really has some ability that could kill an S rank. But don't worry too much. Because I'm here. And my appearance is my business. Don't concern yourself about it." Fein smirked and an invisible aura of confidence enveloped his body.
The three people in the room couldn't help but froze, their movements stiff, and they could only stare at Fein in a daze.
'What a strong charisma!' Anthony was equally stunned, but not as much as Michael, Kidd, and Gregory.
Michael was the first to wake up from his state. He couldn't help but portray a smile on his face. 'Yeah, since we have an S rank degu user with. Why do we need to worry?'
His shoulders unconsciously relaxed as this thought passed through his head. Gregory was the same as Michael. His frowning expression disappeared, and only relief could be seen. He believed in Fein's strength because he witnessed what his growth was and what he was capable of! Fein could even go toe to toe with the President of Ranger's Eye when he was only an A rank. But now, Fein was already an S rank! Gregory believed that Fen's strength must have reached a qualitative change.
'Just how strong Fein had become?' Seeing his teammate's expression, Kidd finally realizes that Anthony wasn't joking earlier when he said Fein could take care of the monster.
Kidd felt a little complicated in his heart. He was already proud of his achievement of becoming an A rank within a year. But he knew what he had to pay to reach his current state. It's a painful price that involved his freedom and dignity! He disappeared for one year just to improve his strength. And he didn't tell to his teammates since they would surely stand on his opposite side if they knew.
Yet Fein reached what he had worked hard for with just his talent! This poured cold water on his back. He realized that there are really some people in this world that was destined for greatness.
'No! As long as I continue what I'm doing, I will succeed in the end!' Kidd regains his confidence in just a second. An image of a man wearing a laboratory cape, his face is symmetrical and his facial features could only be considered in words, perfect! He has a black cross piercing in both ears and he had grey and white hair, which made it look silver. His pupils were light brown and gave a feeling that he could see through everything with just a glance. They contain a light of wisdom that was brought by experience.
Kidd's entire body trembled inexplicably, and he spat out a mouthful of blood. His heart sped up, and the veins on his temples bulged, which made him feel dizzy.
'Damn! I made a mistake. I shouldn't have imagined his appearance!' Kidd lost control of his body and his body was about to fall to the ground.
Suddenly, he felt a strong arm stop him from falling. Fein looked at him with a worried expression. "Are you okay?"
Michael stood up immediately and stared at the blood on the floor. Then he shifted his gaze to Kidd, who was as pale as a sheet of paper. "What just happened?"
He was really confused. Kidd was still okay and lively earlier. Then he just suddenly spat blood and almost collapsed on the floor.
"Are you perhaps sick?" Anthony added.
"No, I'm okay. I just need a rest." Kidd panted as he was gasping for breath. He felt that his lungs were completely devoid of oxygen at the current moment. He just did a mistake by imagining a horrible existence which he shouldn't have done.
That's the existence that instilled fear in him but gave him confidence at the same time. A person who was considered taboo everywhere. And also the one he currently serves!
Gregory walked to Kidd with a sigh. "I don't know what happened to you, but you should rest. You're not allowed to participate in this mission until you recover."
"You should really rest. Your blood pressure was sky-high just now and you almost suffer a brain aneurysm. If you continue to move around instead of resting. A vein might really pop out of your head and cause a blood clot." Fein entered his doctor mode and expressed his opinion after seeing the symptoms.
"Bruh... That sounds serious." Anthony was shocked that he almost forgot to breathe. "What the fuck just happened to you? You were talking just fine earlier. But now you suddenly turned into a patient?"
'If said it to you, you would probably die tomorrow.' Kidd just kept quiet and shut his mouth. Because if he disclosed the details of the person, it would only harm his teammates.
"Do you think I know?" Kidd said sarcastically. Then he looked at his Captain, Michael, and Fein, who has concerned faces. "Okay, I won't participate for now."
'Next time, I won't think about his image. It's really fucking dangerous,' Kidd thought with fear growing in his heart.
Gregory nodded at Kidd and gave him a pill. "This is what Fein gave me last time. I can strengthen the heart. It might help you."
"Okay?" Although Kidd was confused, he still stretched his hand towards the pill. His eyes landed on the red pill in his hand. 'Fein made this? Well, I forgot that he's a Doctor and a Scientist.'
He was having a hard time imagining Fein from a Scientist. After all, although Fein wears glasses. He looks more like a model and a rich prince from some country. Though, he doesn't look like that after he became a perfect organism.
