Kye looked at Tarica's back, intrigued by her words. He didn't know how he should process her words currently.
On the one hand, who was even Tarica to say such things to him? Why would a stranger would give him such advice in the first place? But on the other hand, he couldn't shake the feeling he felt deep inside of him when he was talking to her.
It was strange, to say the least.
He stood there for a moment, deep in thought, before finally shaking his head and turning to join his friends. Still, he made a mental note. While Tarica may be a stranger to him, her words were filled with goodwill. So he'll try to keep those words somewhere in his mind as he didn't want to be a lone bird in the future.
"Kye, are you okay?" Yugo was the first to come back to him, and Kye just answered him with a smile.
"Kye it's been such a long time." Lidi smiled alongside the others as Kye chuckled.
"We just saw each other this morning. Still, I missed you guys."
While they were having a nice time on their own, the other students looked at them enviously. It was such a strange group.
All the students from powerful families joined around a single student. A poor student who looked like he didn't have anything to call his own.
Yet, despite the big families being in constant conflict with each other, the new generation still stood there, smiling and laughing as if they couldn't care less about the world.
But the one who was the most curious was none other than Isis. He still didn't understand how such a thing was possible. Surely Kye must have bribed them all to stay by his side, right? Yet it wasn't feeling right. Kye didn't look like the type to do such things. Sure he was scary earlier, but it was clear that he was a good-natured person.
But what surprised him the most was the behavior of Yugo, Ven, Sylvia, and Enzo. He knew the four of them since he was little. They were all full of pride, especially Yugo. He was a genius since he was little, and so he was looking down on everyone. Yet here he was, smiling as if his old self has completely disappeared.
'Sigh, I should just focus on the matter in front of me.' Isis thought as he was cleaning other students. They still had a long way to go to cure everyone.

On a distant planet, some beings were gathered around a table. They all had human appearances, but their distinctive features clearly showed that they weren't normal humans. Red hair, reptilian eyes, wings on the back, a tail...
It was so many features that showed that those humans were real monsters.
"Insect queen, how are the new monsters you created?" A deep voice resounded around the room. The woman who spoke had long white hair and looked like she was the head of this reunion. She looked quite old as well.
The insect queen has a strange look on her face. She looked both happy and furious.
"The zaionistazer is a success. They are almost invisible and always kill their target if they have the time."
"Then why do you look like you want to kill someone?"
"It's because the few thousands we sent started dying. I don't know how, but it looks like humans discovered a way to kill them." She slammed the table in front of her, but it didn't break. Even with so much strength, the table didn't even have a scratch. It was how sturdy it was.
"Then what are you waiting for to kill all humans there? Surely you don't expect that our truce is still valid, right?"
"Of course not. I would have already sent my army if I could."
"Then?" Another voice chimed in. "What are you waiting for?"
"I would have already done it if I could, sea king." The insect queen sighed in annoyance. "But there are troublesome beings in the base we sent our monsters."
"What do you mean?" The sea king asked.
"My Zaionistazer transmitted to me what they experienced. It was definitely holy power."
"What?"
"Holy power?"
"What are the angels doing over there?"
Multiple voices expressed their discontent. They were all surprised and angered by this new piece of information. Why was there someone with holy power among humans?
"Is it a high-ranked angel?" The monster with white hair asked, calming everyone.
"No. From what I sensed and saw, it is just a low-ranked angel. His holy power isn't that strong. He probably only has enough strength to kill those low-ranked insects." The insect queen said. An angel was problematic, but a low-ranked one wasn't that hard to kill.
"Then why haven't you taken care of it yet?" The monster with red hair asked.
"It's because they have powerful humans protecting them. They are from different families, but they all seem to be close to each other."
"So, they are working together?" The monster with wings on his back asked.
"Yes. And I can't sense any malice from them. They are just trying to protect their own."
The room fell silent. They knew what it meant. If humans could work together, they would become an even bigger threat to them.
"We need to do something about this," the monster with a tail spoke up.
"Agreed. We can't let them continue to grow in strength," the sea king added.
The sea king narrowed his eyes. "If that's the case, why don't we just send our own forces to deal with this angel?"
"That's easier said than done," the insect queen retorted. "We don't know the full extent of their capabilities. It could be a trap."
The others nodded in agreement. They had been at war with the angels for centuries, and they knew not to underestimate their enemies. Even a low-ranked angel could pose a threat if they were caught off guard.
"Then what do you suggest we do?" asked the monster with the red hair.
The insect queen thought for a moment before responding. "I'll send some of my strongest monsters to investigate. They'll gather information on the angel and report back to us. From there, we'll decide on the best course of action."
The others nodded in agreement. It was a sound plan, and it would give them more information on their enemies. They knew that they had to tread carefully, for they didn't want to provoke a full-blown war with the angels just yet.
The meeting continued, with the monsters discussing various plans to deal with the humans and their protectors. But little did they know, there was one human among them who possessed more power than they could have ever imagined. And his protectors would do anything to keep him safe.

Meanwhile, back on Earth, Kye and his friends were heading back to their dorms after this long and tiring day. They had been discussing the events of the day and making plans for the weekend.
"Hey, Kye, have you decided what you want to do this weekend?" asked Yugo.
Kye shook his head. "Not yet. I was thinking of exploring the city a bit more. Maybe check out some of the local shops and cafes."
"Sounds like a good idea," said Ven. "I heard there's a new cafe that just opened up downtown. We could check that out."
Sylvia nodded in agreement. "And maybe we could go shopping too. I need to buy some new clothes for the upcoming ball."
Enzo rolled his eyes. "Of course, you do. You always need new clothes."
Sylvia playfully smacked him on the arm. "Shut up, Enzo. You know you love my fashion sense."
Kye chuckled at their banter. It was good to have friends who could make him laugh and forget about his troubles, even if it was just for a little while.
As they neared their dorms, they noticed a commotion near the entrance. Several students gathered around, looking agitated.
"What's going on?" asked Yugo.
One of the students turned to them. "The infection suddenly became more dangerous and more prominent. The school has quarantined all the affected students, but they're saying that it's spreading fast."
Kye felt a sense of unease settles in his stomach. He had a bad feeling about this.
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
