Serina walk through the forest, green and lush in color while surveying her surrounding slowly in detail.
No signs of humans anywhere.
Which is odd since Kyle should be here.
(He should be here since he was heading down by the time I came to stop him)
She remembered taking some of the students away from the floor but found no traces of Kyle which made her happy that he isn't in danger but make her worry worsen as it means that he delved further into the Dungeon.
Arriving at a clearing where a large pool of water is Serina walk towards it noticing something strange.
(?)
Then her eyes that has the passive skill Far Sight noticed something.
"!!!"
"Kyle!"
Sprinting, Serina leaped into the water and trudged towards the body of Kyle that is lying on the front side of the body in the water.
She pulls him by the shirt and drags him across the water, despite the gear weighing him down and hers, Serina endures them with her strength and will until they reach the edge of the pool.
Serina climbs out first and pulls Kyle out.
"....Kyle?"
Serina takes a better look at him, his face and body are torn with bleeding in many places, but the most notable part of him is his lack of reaction to her voice.
"Kyle!"
She slaps his cheek scared that she might hurt him, but at the same time the thought of him not waking up, so she slaps him hoping he would wake up and scold her instead.
"!!! Kyle!!" Serina shouted louder this time hoping to wake him up.
"!" Seirna whipped her head around taking out her wakizashi.
"H-Hey...." said Callum, tired and carrying Aerina in his arms.
"Maverick?"
Putting Aerina down gently, Callum rushes to Kyle.
"Do you know CPR?"
"? Oh, I know" Serina began to compress Kyle's chest rapidly.
"Oh, no, do it in a steady rhythm"
"Uh..."
"Just push once, stop, then continue"
Following Callum's instruction, Serina began a rhythm compressing on Kyle's chest.
"Great, now"
"Breath into his mouth"
"Woah, woah, no need for that"
"What?! Why?!" she shouted.
"You're not breathing oxygen into him if you do that"
"....Eh? It isn't?"
"Yeah, just keep doing compression and wait"
"Got it"
Water Magic (Intermediate) Water Call
Preparing a spell just in case Callum watches as Serina continues doing chest compression with a worried look in her eyes.
______________
Remembering the last thing he did was to take a drink from the water, Kyle gasped only to feel something suffocating him so he let it out.
"Watch out!"
Someone shouted.
The two figures moved away letting Kyle lean to the side and let out the water inside him.
"Kyle!"
A familiar voice came to him, worry clear in her voice as she rubbed his back and patted it.
(Serina?)
Kyle looked at her, white hair and striking lapis lazuli-colored eyes that seemed to shine brighter than usual, her clothes are wet which he questioned why but he wasn't bothered due to focusing on something else.
"Get away from me!"
"?!"
"What?" said Callum.
Shoving her away, Kyle clumsily gets up from the ground.
"Why did you follow me here?! To take my glory?!"
"What?" said Callum again.
"I don't remember you being able to come down here...I knew it!!"
"?" Callum look at Kyle with confusion on his face.
"You have something up your sleeve but didn't tell me!"
(What?!) - Callum.
"You...You always have something that I don't...I knew it!!"
"No, I don't, Kyle I really don't have anything"
"Then why are you here?! You're a monster or something?!"
"No, she isn't," said Callum.
"Are you?!"
"No, a monster would rather go somewhere else instead of dealing with you"
"Huh?!"
"Kyle!" Serina raised her voice, alarming him.
(She can shout?!) thought Callum.
"Please...come back with me"
Serina looked hurt and in pain, as she said that, looking at her long-time friend in the eyes.
"....", Kyle seemed to be stunned by this, the weapon he had drawn lowered a bit.
"...." Serina slid her foot forward a bit to not startle him, then slid her other foot forward.
"...." Callum watches the two in worry.
(...I don't know why, but something about their relationship is a bit...strange) Callum doesn't have the context of their relationship, but seeing their interaction was enough for him to guess what it is.
And he doesn't like what he is getting at.
"You're hurt, let me help you"
"...."
"Okay?"
She extends her hand out once she reached a certain distance and hope for him to grab it.
"....." Kyle look at her hand then at her eyes.
His meet hers before he look at the ground.
"?"
Serina followed his line of sight, noticing him looking there often.
(Is something on my legs?)
"!"
(Oh, flick!) - Callum.
Large volume of water rushed out of the pool towards Kyle slamming into him as he swung his sword at Serina, the latter eyes were wide with shock as her friend took a swing at her for some reason.
Callum look at Kyle and thought.
It's time to throw hands with a prominent student in the upper class.
He will definitely not come out of this unscathed.
