[Sylvia would like to join your group. Do you accept?]
"What?" Kye couldn't help but shout when he saw that. He was surprised to see that a person like Sylvia, who was very strong first added him as a friend in the game, and second that she wanted to join his group. "Should I accept? But what if she knows me? After all, the military has a private server that separates their students from the world server, so this Sylvia is surely in the school, or at least on another base. But what if she's in this one? What if she knows me?" Kye kept asking those questions himself. He didn't want to be discovered, especially now that he used his angel's ability.
While Kye was busy thinking about what to do and what not, Sylvia was watching the fight they had. The fight had been recorded, and it was so intense that there were already a lot of people who saw the video. A lot of them already knew Sylvia since she had already made a name for herself, be it before coming to the military, or even after. But Kye was a stranger. This Fallen Angel was strong enough to go toe to toe against Sylvia, and the fact that he wore a mask made people's curiosity skyrocket. They all wanted to know who this Fallen Angel was, and they were ready to watch his future fights.
"I wonder if we're in the same military or another because I want to meet someone as strong as him. And he didn't seem like the type to be all high and mighty. He wouldn't have covered his face if it was the case anyway," Sylvia said to herself while she was waiting for Kye's answer. "What's sure is that he is in the weapon class because I would have seen him otherwise. There's not any person that could do this light-ray in the ability class."
Just at this moment, she received Kye's answer. And she immediately joined him.
Sylvia appeared out of thin air in Kye's white space. They then stared into each other's eyes for a few seconds. Sylvia had a smile on her face with her arms behind her, while Kye…, well he had his mask on.
"Nice to meet you, Fallen Angel, how are you?" Sylvia finally said after some time.
"...I'm fine, thank you," Kye answered. "How about you? Aren't your ego hurt because you made a draw against a newbie?"
"What? Haha, of course, no," She chuckled. " On the contrary, I'm glad to have met someone as strong as you who doesn't act all high and mighty. It's quite rare, you know?"
"What's rare?"
"To find people like you. Nowadays, all the strong people had such a big ego and so much pride that they disregard people's life. Most of the strong people tend to discriminate against those lower than them, and that's quite sad, don't you think?"
"Aren't you a high level too?" Kye answered her question with one of his own.
Sylvia would have looked to the sky if there was one right now, nonetheless, she still looked upward. "I am. But I'm trying my best not to be like them. I do not care about being at a high level or not. All humans live have the same weight. So I can't disregard their lives," She made a gentle smile. "And that's why I wanted to add you as a friend. You seemed to be at a high level too. However, you do not act like one of them. You seem to be humble and a good person."
"Do you really think so?"
"Yeah, though I must say. Your username makes me kinda perplex. You seem to be someone good and kind, but you consider yourself a fallen angel. Quite the pretty oxymoron, don't you think?"
Kye wanted to laugh a little because there wasn't any real meaning behind his name. But even so, it seems that Sylvia wanted to believe that. "Well, thanks I guess," Kye answered, not with a defensive voice anymore. "Anyway, why did you want to join my group?"
"Uhm, would you like to do some 2vs2 with me? Or even fight monsters?"Sylvia asked straightforwardly. "I wanted to find someone since long ago, but I never found anyone. Well actually no. I did find people, but they were either full of themselves or big trash. If you see what I mean," She winked as he nodded.
Kye took a look at the time he had left before he needed to come out of the pod. It was indicating twenty minutes left. "Well, I guess I can. But I only have twenty minutes left." free(w)ebnovel.com
"Yay, thanks," She clapped her hands together. "And don't worry, it's already enough. And we can still play another time. We're on each other friend list, after all. So we can contact each other whenever we're both available."
"Then what should we go for?" Kye asked. "I never fought against a monster though."
"Don't worry about that, we can try one now. And a low level if you want."
"That would be great," He said as he made Sylvia the leader of the group. She was more knowledgeable than him on that topic, so it was better for her to lead. "By the way, I have a question."
"Yes, what is it?" Sylvia was setting the environment and the monster they would fight. fre(e)webno(v)el
"Why didn't you try to ask for my identity?" Kye asked, looking at her moving her hands in the air to adjust the difficulty.
"Well, first because we don't know each other enough for me to ask you this. Second, because if you put a mask on, then that means that there's a reason, and if you do not want to tell me, I won't force you. And even though I'm curious, I respect your choice and will wait until you will be comfortable enough to tell me," She answered truthfully. "Of course, you can as well not tell me anything at all, and I won't say anything to that."
Kye thinks of her words for a little bit. Sylvia seemed to be someone kind enough to not do something that others won't like. And so, even though she was at a high level. "I see, thank you for saying the truth," Of course, Kye had his Angel's eyes active when she talk from the very beginning. At least like this, he was sure that Sylvia didn't lie to him and didn't have any hidden agenda.
"All set," Sylvia said once she finished setting everything. "We will fight against a Zora. It's a dog-like monster that can fire bullets of water from its mouth. So be careful of its range attack. Zoras also had great strength, so don't underestimate it in the close range too. And even though it's not real-life, fight as if you're in. Like this, you will be able to progress further." Sylvia warned him and Kye nodded seriously. Those details would help him fight.
