Chapter 22: Wild One

"Enough, let me go. Why are you torturing me like this?" shouted Kai. Ezra had brought him to hell. He was making Kai do push-ups as his body melted. At the same time he was sitting on top of him, pounding his back. His strokes were no ordinary strokes, and they were like flames. By this time, Kai was unable to do push-ups continuously. Ezra had ruthlessly rebuilt his body and made him do it all over again. Was this torture or what?

As time passed like this, Ezra must have got bored, because this time he started to make Kai run. That wasn't so bad. Only the bottoms of his feet were burning and he had to run all the time. He was able to do what he could because he didn't have any permanent damage, but still, once he fell, he would scream and Ezra would start him all over again. She felt like a little girl.

"Get angry. Run with anger. Whatever your normal speed is, your anger increases it. That's how you get stronger. Use your strength to increase your endurance. Don't be calm. Be violent. "As Kai ran, his anger grew and grew. How could he not be angry. He was angry at the man who was tormenting him here. Unfortunately, he was far from strong enough to do anything to him. A baseline formed in the lower right as his eyes turned red. It was starting.

Kai's speed increased as he tried to direct his anger at his feet. But it wasn't easy. He couldn't do it. How could you direct your anger at your foot?! Isn't that what you're supposed to do when you're scared?

You have to have an enemy to direct it at your feet. You had to want to kick. You had to have a kick that wanted to destroy him.

Kai saw the earth as his enemy, while Ezra fuelled him. He kicked him and he sped up.

For 9 days, Kai ran. Finally, he collapsed at the sound of Master Ezra's voice. He couldn't even move. All this time, even though he kept starting over, his mind was getting tired. He wasn't training his body. He was training his will. The endurance of his will increased.

For 7 days, his eyes flashed red as the energy his body made finally entered his body at a sudden speed. Thanks to the barrier created by Ezra during the run, no energy had been able to enter Kai's body. Thanks to this, he would now be able to recover faster.

"Yellow lightning middle start" As the energy entering Kai's body continued, it reached the middle of the middle grade.

"Brat, your work here is done for now. You can go back now." As Kai started to wake up with Ezra's wave of his hand, Kai did not hear what Ezra said later.

"You're really not as lame as I thought you were."

***

When Kai woke up in the real world, no one was around. When he looked over, he saw Kevin and Emma coming out of meditation.

He knew he hadn't run for 9 days. It was only in his mind. They had to be here somewhere.

When Kai came to what he thought was the kitchen, everyone was sitting there eating. No one was making a sound. He noticed a strange burst of self-confidence in everyone's eyes in this American kitchen.

"Why is everybody quiet?"

They looked at Kai. It was a very excited look.

"We've been waiting for you to tell everyone what level you've reached," Emma said. Everyone was looking at each other as Kai sat at the table.

"So who starts first? " said Kai.

"Well, I'll start, since none of you are at this level right now. "said Lena. They seemed to have made up with Jace. They sat side by side.

"The beginning of the Orange Lightning," Lena spoke in a snap. Everyone was looking at her with a puzzled expression, but they soon lost interest. After all, they had been developing for a long time. Wasn't it foolish to compete with them already? One day they would reach that level too.

"Shouldn't you be in the centre of the green lightning at most? I mean, the ones who are the same age as you are now should be. "said Jack. Lena laughed and Jace joined her.

"We're the geniuses of the academy. One of the best. So it's normal. "said Jace.

"Well then, let me tell you now. " said Jack. You could tell by the smile on his face that he'd jumped a lot of degrees. He looked proud.

"The summit of the peak of the yellow lightning," he said. Everyone was looking at him, even Kai was quite surprised. Normally at this time, the strength of those in the 1st zone was average mid-grade or peak. But he was at the peak of the peak. They could prove that Kai wasn't really the only genius.

"Damn it, mate! I'm in the middle of the peak of yellow lightning. How can you beat me?! "Kevin exclaimed. He put his hand to his face and leaned back in his seat, staring at the ceiling. He sighed bitterly.

Everyone was once again surprised as Jack laughed. Even though he was weaker than Jack, the healer was more likely to win in a normal fight. Of course, if they fought right now, Jack would definitely win, but you never know.

Everyone looked at Emma as she huffed. This time too.

Taken from Royal Road, this narrative should be reported if found on Amazon.

"Don't look at me like that, I didn't reach the summit. It's an intermediate summit," Emma said. As everyone turned their heads to Kai this time, Kai gave Emma a pitying look. But Emma didn't seem to like this look. It might have even angered her.

"I'm not as advanced as you are, middle of the middle of the middle grade of yellow lightning." everyone nodded. They weren't surprised. It upset Kai, but he had predicted that this would be the result because he hadn't shown the limit of his ability. Kai was using 6 emotions. Of course they knew he could fight stronger than him.

"So are we going then?" said Kai, changing the subject.

"We're leaving now. Everybody pack up what you've got. "Jace said as everyone was packing up, a voice from outside made them all turn their gaze in that direction. A smile formed on Kai's face. It was a rather bitter smile. But it was also full of confidence.

"I think they're here. "he said.

As they went out quickly, Lena took them quickly in the direction of the market. They blended into the crowd. They had to lose the people coming after them. So the caravan wouldn't be followed.

Lena and Jace moved together and separated from them. Separation would ensure their safe arrival. Lena didn't know where the caravan was, so Jace went with her.

They were very careful. They watched the hunters in the crowd. They were a dangerous and remarkable people. Kai could not yet use his sense of curiosity for the near future. So he hid and arrived at the caravan with a blanket over his head.

Jace and Lena had not yet reached the location of the caravan. But the hunters were there. Apparently one of them hadn't dodged the pursuers. Kevin clenched his fists.

"Looks like we're gonna have to fight."

But it wasn't all that easy. They threw a smoke grenade. Then they pulled out their guns. At a distance, they were clearly in danger.

But why did they throw smoke bombs? Wouldn't that disadvantage them?

That's when Kai realised. These people were not strong. They were just a few simple weapons users. They were no match for them.

Kai looked at the stone near his feet. He knew the difference in power was great. He knew how much stronger than the humans.

"Disperse into the mist."

As Kai said this, he struck the stone with his foot, hard. It hit one of the hunters directly in the stomach. The man was hurt.

They ran into the fog. Gunshots rang out and even a quick sweep, but it was too late. Kevin rushed forward and before any of them could react, he pulled the pin of a smoke grenade from someone's waist. Then he punched the man in the chest and turned back into the fog, using him as a shield. He did everything too fast. The hunters didn't react fast enough.

But after the pin was pulled, everything changed. Kai knew he wanted to live. He hadn't been shot. But still, his mates might have been. He wanted to protect them.

He couldn't see out of the corner of his eye. He was like a wild animal in the fog. He moved on. He came across a hunter. He didn't think. He grabbed his neck and tore him to pieces. Six red lightning bolts appeared in his eyes. This was his power. But who could understand its limits?

The rage intensified. It returned to Kai's body as power. Kai tore apart the hunters he encountered. He lost himself. He forgot how to think. People who lived with anger were free of thought and acted purely on their desires. He said what he wanted to say. He heard what he wanted to hear. Kai couldn't stop himself. And he killed.

But when he opened his eyes, he saw the fog had lifted. He felt hands holding his hands. He saw his friends standing in the caravan. Lena and Jace had arrived. Emma was holding his hands. Bloody hands.

How many people had he killed?

"I... What kind of monster am I?" said Kai. He regretted it the moment he realised what he had done, but wasn't it too late? He was a notorious killer. Even though they were hunters, did he have to treat them so cruelly?

'We hunt those who hunt us.'

Ezra had certainly done it on purpose. But in any case, he had killed these people.

"You're not a monster. You're definitely not a monster."

Emma shut him up. She didn't want him to use such cruel words against her, but Kai wouldn't shut up.

"Then what am I?" As Emma looked into Kai's eyes, the last red in Kai's eyes gave way to blue. His eyes were returning to their old state.

"You're you, Kai. It doesn't matter what you do! Don't feel like a hero. You don't have to be. You're not a saint. You wanted to survive. Don't regret it. "Emma said. Kai looked at her. She must have been born with a killer instinct or something to accept him so easily, but Kai couldn't see Emma as such a person. He saw her as sweet. He loved her.

Until he heard a gunshot.

Hunters' weapons were superior to normal weapons. A bullet was definitely powerful enough to pierce through the strong skin of Kai and the others. So powerful, in fact, that even the area around where the bullet entered was damaged. It was like poison. It was destroying.

Kai felt a pain in his arm and immediately pulled Emma out of the way, preventing the bullet from touching him. He wasn't faster than the bullet, of course, but his reactions were still impressive. The bullet passed through Kai's shoulder. It travelled quickly and entered Lena's shoulder in the caravan. Lena was thrown back in pain, but Kai was still standing. A pair of hands grabbed him as he slowly fell into the darkness.

***

"Come on, Emma, you have to do it. If you don't, there could be something wrong with his body." At Kevin's words, Kai woke up, unable to open his eyes. There was a deep pain in his shoulder. It even felt as if they had pierced his shoulder. Actually... They had already punctured his shoulder.

Kai was lying on the seat of the caravan. He could sense with his aura that everyone was here. He just couldn't sense Jace and Lena's aura. The only reason for that was that these people had learnt to control themselves.

"Why me? Why can't Lena just heal her? Or was she already healing fast? Just do it," Emma said.

"Lena's only strong enough to heal herself right now. Kevin can't heal a wound like that. They put poison in the bullets, and these guns are special, so they penetrate. You have to stop it before it gets to his heart. He needs to be awake to heal himself. If you kiss him, his body will automatically recognise you and heal. The more he loves you, the faster he will heal. "Kai could hear Emma sighing.

In fact, Kai could heal himself right now, but he wasn't doing it on purpose. If he healed himself, Emma wouldn't kiss him. Kai wouldn't have been able to take advantage of this tremendous opportunity. The Guardian of the Sense of Love named Eros had told him to do so.

"All right, then. He's asleep anyway, he won't know. And none of you dare tell him." As they all swallowed, except Lena, Kai felt Emma approaching. He was feeling quite excited.

"It's a good thing you won't know about this. Otherwise I would have killed myself from embarrassment." said Emma in a whisper. Kai was trying hard not to laugh. Meanwhile, Emma's lips met Kai's lips. Soft and sweet. That's what it felt like for Kai. As someone who had never been kissed, of course, the author could not describe such a feeling, but he could not help imagining that it tasted like candy.

The wound on Kai's shoulder slowly began to close.

Emma looked at him dumbfounded as Kai immediately got up. Kai was licking his lips. He seemed to want to take another bite of that sweet aroma.
