After Kai and Emma met, they started to walk together, but Emma was embarrassed that Kai had seen her in her wild state. Kai tried not to laugh every time he thought of that moment.

'"You ****** child, what kind of ******. I'm going to visit you in the normal world when I get the chance and rip your head off!!! You should be grateful that you were killed by a princess like me!!!"

As soon as Kai heard these words, he knew that Emma was spending too much time with Alvar. Alvar had taught the others his way of talking and it seemed that the young man before her had made Emma very angry. Kai was glad that at least they had not yet reached Alvar's level. Alvar could curse a person's whole life with the smallest incident. At least Emma was only angry with her attacker. Alvar would have tormented him for a century.

Kai turned his head and saw Emma's face. Emma was embarrassed and turned her head away, but as Kai watched her, he could easily see how sweet she was.

"Why are you looking at me like that?"

"How should I look?"

"I... I don't know."

Kai didn't care what Emma thought. It had been a long time since they had seen each other. He wanted to have a good look at Emma.

Kai and Emma walked on. But strangely they didn't meet anyone. Emma found it strange, but when she turned her head, she saw that Kai was very calm. She knew then that Kai had something to do with the silence around them.

But as they walked on, no one confronted them and Kai didn't say anything. Emma really couldn't understand what Kai was trying to do. Kai and Emma walked until the evening and didn't speak more than 3 sentences.

Finally, Kai stopped. Emma expected Kai to say something, so she was excited, but instead, her face was pulled back because of Kai's cold face.

"Let's camp here. We'll look further in the morning."

Emma opened her mouth and was about to say something when Kai moved faster than her eyes could see and plunged his sword into the ground. At the same moment, the earth shook for a few seconds, and then 2 earth tents appeared from the ground.

Kai then swung his sword and used the 4 Elements to create a soft floor inside the 2 tents and a place to sleep. The floor Kai created was no different from a normal bed.

"I'll make a fire and you can change if you want."

Kai was about to go into the woods to get some firewood when he froze as a hand grabbed the cloth around his waist.

"You can make a fire just by swinging your sword, Kai. Why do you want to run away from me?"

Kai didn't turn his head and Emma never saw his face. Kai grabbed Emma's hand and pulled it away from her waist. Then he walked on.

Emma sighed and went into the tent. If Kai didn't answer, she had no way to force him to.

Kai left and was gone for a while. But after a short time, he came back. He had firewood in his hands and his look was sad again. Emma seemed to be asleep and Kai, after just a glance at Emma's tent, made a fire, sat down on a log, and took off his clothes.

As soon as Kai took off his clothes, the bandages on his body became obvious. Especially Kai's back was wrapped in many bandages and Kai felt a great pain in his back. So he had prepared an ointment and every evening he tried desperately to apply it to his back.

Once again Kai put his hand on the ointment and tried to touch his back, but it was no use. Just then Emma came out of her tent. Maybe Kai was wrong when he thought she was asleep.

Emma hadn't slept. She had waited for Kai until he had arrived that night and in the meantime, her eyes had become sleepy and she had been tired for a while, but as soon as she had heard the voices she had come to her senses and had carefully made her way outside, not expecting to find Kai's back covered with wounds.

Emma was not embarrassed when she saw Kai. She had seen Kai naked countless times and was no longer embarrassed by it. But when she saw Kai's scars, she was worried.

Emma jumped up and came right behind Kai.

"What happened to your back?"

Even though Emma said this calmly, a storm was raging inside her. It hurt her that something had happened to Kai. She felt the damage to his hair in her own body. She was connected to him in a way that was invisible to the naked eye.

"When I fought Miguel, I got hurt a little bit. I have a strange bruise on my bones. That's why it hurts me to heal myself. So I use an ointment to remove the damage."

Emma knew who Miguel was. She had met him once and felt a deep energy coming from him. Miguel was really strong, but Kai had still managed to defeat him.

When Kai tried to put the ointment on his back, Emma took it from his hand. Kai didn't mind at all and kept looking ahead. With her emotionless face, Emma started to remove Kai's bandages.

"You have to take care of yourself."

"I'm alive because I take care of myself."

"Take more care! At this rate, it won't be long before you're eliminated from the World Tournament."

As Emma applied the ointment to Kai's back, Kai turned his head and looked at Emma with cold eyes. But in truth, the emotions in those eyes were fighting a senseless resistance to come out.

"Why do you care? "

Emma shuddered at Kai's look but said nothing. She knew Kai well enough, and even after not seeing him for a year and a half, she was sure that he liked to laugh. He just wanted to show Emma the consequences of her words.

"Do you know who Randal is? He said he was the first Kingslayer. You must know something about him."

"He was my master. And he died. He didn't make it through the levels."

Kai always spoke in single words. He didn't seem to care about Emma at all. And he had a casual attitude. Emma continued to put ointment on Kai's back. Kai's injured back showed how hard Kai had fought, but even after that, Kai had been in countless fights and destroyed academies. These wounds weren't only from Miguel.

Kai couldn't stop his eyes from widening when a cold drop fell on his back.

"Why don't you stop acting stupid for once!"

Emma's two hands touched Kai's bare back and Emma's tear fell on Kai's back. Kai suddenly felt his breath catching in his throat. He was fighting like crazy and enjoying the World Tournament. Even if it hurt, he was used to it, but some people couldn't stand to see Kai suffer.

"Why are you so inconsiderate!!!"

Emma cried. Because Kai didn't care about her and he didn't care about himself and all he cared about was fighting. But Kai ran away again. He got up and quickly put his bandages back on and went to his tent.

"Stop!"

Emma's painful voice made Kai's eyes flutter again and made him stop.

"You asked me a long time ago what I am to you! "

Emma's voice was shrill, but this time she didn't stop. This time she wouldn't make that mistake. After all this time, she didn't want to leave Kai for so long again. 1,5 years! She had been away from Kai for a year and a half because she hadn't told him anything! Her voice trembled, her eyes welled up, but she didn't stop.

"I'm!...... Me!..... The one you love-"

BOOOM!!!!
