While Yugo and Ven were busy being worried about Kye, the latter was just about to enter the principal office.
It was rare from the very first day to come to him, but they had some questions to ask him, and there wasn't a better person than the principal. He was charismatic and gentle at the same time. So people were quite open in front of him.
So the military man that brought him to the principal's office knocked on the door, and after a few moments, a voice came out from behind it.
"Come in," The man said, and the big guy by his side open it before letting Kye alone with the principal.
This man was quite old, in his early sixties. He had white hair and a clean beard. As for his body, he wasn't that big nor too thin. Just between both of them. And the most important thing was his gentle smile.
"Please sit," He said with a kind voice. "You don't have to be scared of anything since this is just formality."
Hearing that, Kye accepted and sat on the couch in front of the principal. And when he stared at his desk, there was a little sphere on top of it.
"This is a lie detector. It's to see if what you answer me is the truth or not. And it would beep every time you lie." The principal said seeing his look. It was something quite eye-catching for young people, so he immediately knew what he was looking for.
"I understand, but if it's just formality, is there a need for that?" Kye pointed out. "And I still don't know why I'm here too,"
"You're quite an observer, young boy, that's a good asset when you fight," The principal smiled. "But yes, we need that even though all of that it's just some formalities. To be honest, I don't care about what you really did. You're the one who came out alive whilst you don't have any abilities. So it only means that you have a lot more potential than a level 3."
"Excuse me if I'm being rude, but you're talking as if I've done something wrong," Kye said with a d*mb expression. "And you just said that I came out alive from something, but I don't understand what."
"Haha," The principal chuckled. "You're indeed interesting. Being able to talk like this when the lie detector is active." At the end of his sentence, Kye didn't even listen to him anymore. Something more interesting appeared in front of him.
[People are praying for your well-being and your protection]
[Heaven shall grant their wish]
'I guess this is Yugo and Ven. I should thank them later.' Kye thought seeing that.
And when he saw his golden window, he wanted to use his angel's eyes to see if what the principal was saying was true, but in the end, he decided against it. His eyes would be a dead giveaway that he has some sort of secret ability.
"I don't understand anything, sir. Would you be able to explain to me, please?" Kye asked. He didn't know if it was thanks to the system or the boys that the lie detector wasn't beeping, but in the end, he was happy that it didn't.
"Yes, I should probably tell you then," He smiled as he put the lie detector away. He already got his answer, so there wasn't any need for those things anymore. "We found Kord Brat's body this morning, dead in the forest just behind the academy building. And a lot of people had witnessed that he had some things to settle with you. So you're probably the only person having been with him before he died."
"So if I understand everything right, you are accusing me of something with the only proof being what people had witnessed even before he asked me to go somewhere with him?"
"So you indeed went with him somewhere?"
"Yes, it's not as if I could lie about that since there are indeed a lot of people who had seen me going with him. Especially my classmates or even the people in the hallway who didn't even lift a finger to protect me," Kye said with a disgusted voice. It was clear that he wanted help from them, but they didn't come for him. "And in the end, I just followed him until there were enough things to hide for him to not see me anywhere, and then go back to my room because it's the safest place in the academy for me when I'm alone. I don't know when I will be bullied after all."
"Well, then everything is settled. You didn't do anything and just ran away for your life, so you won't be sentenced," The principal said before adding something else. "But I will still believe that you did it and you won the fight against him."
"And could I know the reason for that?"
"I don't know, probably just this old man's intuition."
"This isn't the best reason if I have to be honest."
"Well, actually it's more than that," He smiled seeing his perseverance. "First, Madison told me how a student named Kye was amazing during her training session. Second, the fact that your previous dead blue eyes are now shining like beautiful jewels, plus your body that looks a lot healthier than before. And last but not least, how you took all of this so lightly just show me that you're hiding something from me. But since the lie detector didn't detect anything, I will stay with that until you tell me the answer."
Hearing that, Kye made a weird smile. He first didn't expect to hear his new teacher praising him again. Then, he didn't know that his physical changes would be that much eye-catching. And last, he just wanted to punch the principal intuition. Everyone around him was seeing too many things whereas they didn't. And it was beginning to frustrate him.
"I don't know if I should be happy or not hearing that."
"You should be happy of course. Especially for the first one. I know Madison since a long time ago, and she praises people only on rare occasions. So that means that she had seen something precious in you," The principal smiled. "But anyway, I won't hold you anymore. You should go train or rest a little bit with your friend," He then stood up and went to accompany Kye to the door.
"Thank you for your time, Sir, and have an amazing day."
"Thank you, Kye, you too have an amazing day," The principal said as he closed the door and went to the window to look outside. The city's view from his office was beautiful.
"So what do you think?" He asked someone who came out from the corner of the room. She was there from the beginning. "Did you find him interesting?"
"Yes, thank you for that," The person who said that was Madison. "He is a lot more interesting than what I thought. And it's still only the beginning of his growth I guess. We just need to guide him to the right path and not let him fall to people who want something from him."
"Then should we pay close attention to his friends, Yugo Pendora and Ven Tigo?" The principal still looked outside. "Their family is too big and influential for him, don't you think?"
"Not really. I will even say that Kye is well surrounded. Yugo and Ven seem to like him a lot and want to protect him as much as possible, so everything should be good."
