sitting outside the bronze supermarket, waiting area. michael asked. "How are you this past few months?"
Hu Bai smiled. his eyes secretly glance at Yei on his left side.
"I'm doing quite fine. I'm curious about.. ermm.. about you guys!" Hu Bai slightly stuttered on his words.
'Crap. if I didn't think fast I would be saying I'm curious about Yei!'
"Were also doing fine." Yei said. her cold voice resounding.
as her cold voice were pretty normal in their circle of friends they didn't think too much about it.
but for some reason Hu Bai could feel it was directed towards him.
'what is this cold feeling?'
Aina patted both of his shoulder her red eyes staring at his face.
'too close.'
as she was standing up in front of him he could see her entire figure well. it was curvaceous. paired with her slightly tan skin she looks like a model.
well as for Hu Bai he didn't think about it too much. because in his eyes Aina was like his sister although were the same age. you should call me brother! haha.
"Hey. tell me. you.. didn't you fail the aptitude examination?" Aina suddenly asked. her eyes have strange glint onto it.
"Yes. why do you asked?!" Hu Bai annoyingly asked her back.
as if realizing she hit a soft spot on his heart she quickly said. "Well, I'm just curious ho- how did you dodge me at that time. if you're free tom- tomorrow I will buy you food as an apology."
her words was fast.
both Yei and Michael stared at her dumbfounded.
they only have one thought.
'Is this a confession?'
seeing their expression Aina slightly blushed as she clarified, "t- th- this i- is not what you think it is!"
Hu Bai thought a bit for a moment before nodding his head.
"Okey."
then again Michael stared at him weirdly.
in his thoughts.
'Don't tell me this two are already dating but they want to make it public?!'
but in Hu Bai's thought it was quite the opposite.
as you know after passing the aptitude examination.
the Lysabel Government will gave those who passed a unique book.
in this book various 'Walkers' abilities and also information on the outside world could be seen.
'If my theory was true. then why did she need to make me unconscious?'
looking at the time on his black bank watch. he sighed.
'time was really fast.'
Time: 13:21
"Guys, I will go first. Aina I will chat you up!" with that said. he left not minding their strange glances towards him.
especially Aina her gaze towards Hu Bai became complicated.
' How do I reject him?'
"This.. is awkward. it's looks like we will have a couple in our friend group haha." Michael laugh awkwardly. but before he could laugh more Aina could be seen running away full of tears.
Yei shook her head. she also left.
shaking his head Michael was confused. 'What did I do wrong? I just want to make the atmosphere a bit...'
he sighed.
.....
Back home.
after helping his mother cook and eating with her.
he finally sat down in front of his computer.
looking at the replies he couldn't help but sigh. his face have a faint smile onto it.
he also proceeded to chat Aina using a private text message.
'Why am I curious.'
he thought.
closing his eyes. he immediately fell asleep.
Hmmm?
as he opened his eyes again he could see his computer already turned off.
'Did I fall asleep? this is really tiring.'
massaging his temples again he stood up. but before he could move towards the door.
the surrounding area distorted in an eerie manner giving him a dizzying feeling.
suddenly a strange masked person appeared in front of him.
wearing black all over from head to toe.
a gas mask that looks like an ant.
an armor and also sword on his back.
drawing it out. the soldier who looks like a standing ant dashed towards him.
Hu Bai was shocked as he dodged to the side.
'What?! too fast who.. who-'
but before he could think any further the blade of the sword was already on his neck giving him little time to think.
but instinctively he dodged it again. with wide eyes Hu Bai felt like a piece of leaf dodging the sword just a hair distance away.
just then he remembered Aina's words.
how did I dodge her super fast charge?
he feel nervous his heart beating fast.
he was scared. because if this Ant soldier was in his room what about?
his Mother?!
No please no...
as he tried to escape the Ant soldier sword with great difficulty he Immediately rammed towards the door using his entire person.
he felt extremely exhausted although things were happening fast but with Hu Bai's little endurance he couldn't keep up with this Ant soldier.
Gasping for breath he again dodge instinctively.
looking at the slashed concrete floor on his side.
his beating heart was like a drum. beating and beating it was as if his heart wanted to exit his chest. it was too painful.
the Ant soldier was looking at him menacingly he could feel its gaze cold and merciless it was a gaze like an assassin from hell.
although it have a gas mask he still could feel it's intent to kill him.
But it seems luck was on his side as the sword was stuck on the concrete floor he finally went down the stairs as fast as he could.
but what he saw makes his gaze lifeless.
blood.
also dozen or so Ant soldier.
Is.. is this true? am I dreaming right?
how is this even happening?!
as despair surrounded me, various thoughts were getting created in my mind.
suddenly bead of tears welled up in my eyes. my surrounding started to spin.
slowly.
it was the same feeling as at that time.
as his vision became blurry a spinning shadow suddenly appeared in front of him.
his face full of tears as he stared at the familiar ceiling.
'A dream?'
