The other students who were watching the exchange between Basil and Eugene slightly widened their eyes at Basil's passive-aggressive comment. Looking at Eugene who had flinched at Basil's gaze, they became even more worried of what would happen in the future.
Since they were aware of the history between the two, they were afraid something unwanted would happen. Darius was about to step up to lighten up the mood when suddenly Basil extended his hand.
"I've heard people become even more religious after surviving a disaster. I believe if you survived the Outbreak, you would not only surrender your body but also your soul to your Gods."
"O-Oh. So, that's what you mean? Ha-ha..." Eugene laughed awkwardly. He glanced at Basil's extended hand, before righting himself up. "Kuhum! Just for your information, Basil. The moment I chose to believe in Gods, I have surrendered my everything to them."
