Surprisingly, he planned on skipping class. Xuyun watched him as he piled up unused school's tools, making a step stone to jump on the school walls. Weird, was he skipping school because of his rejection? Or was he came to school just to confess to Xuyun?
.

He went to an arcade. Because he was still wearing the school uniform, he quickly pulled a grey jacket from his bag and wore it. Xuyun watched him as he played a lot of machines. He was quite terrible at playing, it seemed.
People usually kept quiet when they were losing to save face, but he was making a lot of noises, cursing and kicking the machines as he threw tantrum. A gang of thus noticed him, ready to teach some son a bitch a lesson for disturbing their turf.
Surprisingly, instead of running away, the wimp put on a tough face and set up a fighting stance.
Xuyun watched him as he got beaten, half dead. Not dead, because he would eventually be killed by another criminal. He watched him as he got up, face full of bruises, went to the colosseum.
He lined in a long queue before facing the ticket counter. He stared at his wallet, flipped it a few times, before he walked out of the line with depressed face. He looked at the huge colosseum building from distance, then he changed his sight to the sky which had changed into orange colour. He lifted his arm to look at the watch.
Xuyun knew it. This was the time and place where the accident would happen. Where was the criminal? Everything seemed normal. Xuyun sharpen his sensor and watched as Sui walked besides the traffic light. Recalling that last time he died from a car crash, Xuyun quickly came out of his hiding and walked closer to the boy.
Suddenly, he could sensed a lot of magnetic field appeared from his right side. A huge portal came from nowhere, a huge truck came from inside, rushing toward them. Xuyun could see the criminal from the car's windshield. He shouted to Sui, "RUN AWAY!" before ran toward the truck at maximum speed.
They crashed each other. Xuyun tried to hold the truck force with his power, he got dragged a few metres before it stopped. Xuyun quickly broke the windshield and strangled the criminal before he could do anything. He pointed his sword to the his neck, ready to cut it.
But he heard the criminal chuckled.
A powerful force came out from behind, pulling the truck backwards. Xuyun could sense the magnetic force once again, and it tried to suck them in. Not just them. The force was too strong it could even pulled the colosseum building in.
Xuyun gripped his sword harder, ready to end the bastard's life, before he said,
"If you don't let me go, your friend will never get out from that darkness."
Xuyun got stiffed. Was he talking about the Sui guy? He got sucked inside?? Didn't he told him to go away earlier??
Xuyun had countered this situation so many times, usually he would always think of a most rational decision without blinking an eye. He would choose a decision that would benefit the most. But, this time, he couldn't help but cursed in his heart, why, even though he had interfered, the victim was still the same guy from before??
But he couldn't think for too long or the victim would multiplied. He slit the criminal's neck, his head rolled outside the truck. Behind it, the portal disappeared.
The next day, the news of the wanted criminal appeared on all of the media. All people talked about was this dangerous criminal, the peace that would come after this, and the hero that had saved so many lives. No one grieved for the poor special grade student, a victim in the accident, except his close friends.
The report Xuyun gave to the higher ups was that he failed in protecting the student, thus he asked for a punishment. Yet, all he got was a promotion, making him even more famous among the citizens.
"He also died as a hero, without his sacrifice, a lot of people will die. He must have known this himself up there."
There was nothing wrong with the statement; Xuyun who grew in military background knew better than anyone, there was no war without deaths, there was no peace without violence. But Xuyun got annoyed by the fact that, even though he could easily defeated the bad guy, he couldn't save one life that should have avoid death. It was his second death, even though he got second chance, he still died.
Wasn't that annoying?
So, he broke the government rule and said the keyword again,
"Repeat."
