Xin's eyes were shut tight as he received several messages from the system. He was so weak that he couldn't hear anything that was talking in the background. Xinny and Michelle have been asking several things from Xin about how he was feeling but he was too far to hear or answer them.
The two girls where clueless as they didn't know what to do next, or where to go next. They would have taken him to the clinic bay but they're worried about Lauren stopping them on their way. They have been thinking of every option available but the more they thought about it, they couldn't seem to find any solution. They have been waiting for almost an hour for Chris to come back but there was no sign of him coming in.
"What do we do? Xin is not opening his eyes and Chris is not back yet. Do you think something happened to him? How about we check on him?" Michelle asked, worry was evident in her tone.
"No, we are staying with Xin. I know Chris will be alright, he'll come back soon." Xinny said as she went towards the door as if to check if someone was coming, but surprisingly, before she got to the door, she heard it unlock as it gave a beeping sound. What surprised her most was that the person who came in was Chris. Her eyes brightened as she saw that the person they have been waiting for the past minutes had arrived unexpectedly. Xinny didn't know what came over her that she had suddenly went to hug Chris, not even minding the bare chest of his.
Chris was shocked and at the same time, he was glad that Xinny wasn't avoiding him like before. Michelle herself who had saw the whole thing couldn't help but open her mouth wide in amazement. She almost called out for Xin's attention but suddenly remembered that Xin was ill and wouldn't be able to see what was going on.
Finally, Xinny realized that she's been hugging Chris for quite too long and even still, he didn't mind. He wouldn't lie but he really enjoy hugging her, and had even wished she wouldn't let go.
Xinny cleared her throat as she tried to balance herself, scoding herself for acting beyond limits.
"Err... so how's Xin?" Chris finally spoke out, not acting as if he cared about what Xinny had just done. In fact he was looking straight into Xinny's eyes.
"He's the same as before, if not worst. We would have taken him to the clinic bay but we're unsure of the decision." Michelle suddenly replied, knowing fully that Xinny might not be able to provide the full details of what was going on as she had already started blushing and her face was as red as rose petals.
"Really?" Chris suddenly moved towards Xin to see how he was doing.
"We were worried about you and were afraid that Lauren will stop us on our way to the clinic so we had to wait."
"I see." Chris moved his hands to check Xin's body temperature. As his hands touched Xin's, he could feel that it was so cold like ice but before he could take his hands off, an hand had suddenly held onto it tightly, refusing to let go.
It was when Chris touched his body that Xin received a notification from the system.
< An immense amount of Mana could be sensed from the body that is approaching you >
< Do you wish to drain the Mana? >
< Yes > < No >
Xin eyes were shut tightly but he could still see the messages and notifications from the system, so he was able to see the message that was recently sent to him. Filled with thirst to drain this Mana, Xin didn't even think twice about it that he had chosen the yes option and his Mana drain ability had suddenly activated.
Slowly but fast paced, Chris' Mana was being drained by Xin but Chris could feel an energy going forth from him into Xin. He didn't want to stop at first as he thought that perhaps it was Xin's ability but he was wondering what effect it would have on him. He feared for the worst, even though it wasn't painful to him, so he had immediately jerked his hands away from Xin. But as soon as Xin stop draining Chris' Mana, something started happening to him that the other students also found strange.
