The written exam went by rather quickly. Before she knew it, Sora had to pass her paper along with the rest in the long hall. It was the first time in two hours that the hall was filled with noise again for the two hours of exam were in utter silence.
" That was hard... I've left the last two questions." She turned back to her two friends during the short break they had.
" Finished it all half an hour early." Yumei shrugged.
" I finished it at the last moment." Yuu stated, crouching down by their side, which enticed curious glances from the other students around them.
" Because you were shaking the whole time!" Whisper shouted.
" That ghost behind me... She was breathing down my neck..." He shuddered further, making the white ghost sigh.
" Anyway, why are you crouching down like that?" Yumei glanced down at him.
" I... I feel safe like this..."
" Safe?"
" You see, because he can see ghosts and Yokais, doesn't mean they're tangible for him." She elaborated. " However, it seems when we phase through them they get very angry. We can't see or hear them but for him..."
" So he wants to avoid getting yelled at."
" Precisely." Continued Whisper. " So he huddles on himself to avoid them the most he could."
" So that's the kind of worlds you're in."
" It's the worst..." He buried his head in his knees this time.
" Listen! Don't you dare getting all gloomy now! We still have the practical exam!" Yuu snapped at Whisper's yell and shot up on his feet. Just at that moment, a ball of fire manifested by his right side. " Oh, they're coming already. It's about time."
Yumei checked her watch. " We should head to the amphitheater." She led them through the halls of UA to the dark circular room. Sidling along the chairs, they found themselves a place and settled down.
One row beneath them, Yuu and Sora saw as the boy from earlier came and sat down with another blond boy. It seemed that they were from the same school.
No longer than they had settled that the lights went on, illuminating Present Mic on the rostrum with UA emblem glistening on the screen behind him. " For all you examinee listeners tuning in, welcome to my show today! Everybody say 'hey'!"
He was met by utter silence. " What a refined response. Then I'll quickly present to you the rundown on the practical exam! Are you ready? Yeah!" Nothing so much of whisper was heard.
" Is he trying to make a show of the exam orientation. Not professional." Whisper sighed.
" I think it's kind of him to try and lift our spirits." Sora smiled.
" I didn't know there was a show included..."
" Certainly it isn't. It's just Present Mic acting as he pleases." Yumei leaned her head on her hand. She looked at the curly head beneath them who was squealing at the hero. " Can't believe they allow such people to apply as well. They're not taking the hero course seriously."
" Eh?" Sora blinked at those words coming from her friend.
" I bet most , if not all, of them are just applying because they liked heroes since childhood. But not all of them are ready to bear the load that comes with it. The hardship, the pain, the pressure and the losses. They're not ready to take that much." Yumei seemed more serious than Sora had ever seen her.
" As it says in the application requirements," They once again focused on Mic. " you listeners will be conducting ten-minute mock urban battles after this!"
The screen behind him elaborated more about the test as he spoke." You can bring whatever you want with you. After the presentation, you'll head to the specified battle center, okay? Okay?!"
There was a wave of silence again as they all checked their papers. " Eh! We're on different places?" She casted a look at the two by her sides. " I'm in D."
" I'm C." Said Yumei as she held her paper up. " They want to make us depend on ourselves. No helping each other."
" F." Yuu gulped. " Sounds like a bad omen."
" F for Failures. That's how you'll be if you don't put your heart in this." Whisper stated.
" I don't think I have the heart anymore."
Whisper's body tightened around Yuu, almost strangling him. " What's with that now!" And he embarked in a long lecture.
" Three different types of faux villains are stationed in each battle center." The screen showed a small city along with three giant shadows each labeled with its allocated points. " You earn points for each of them based on their level of difficulty."
The scene changed to that of a game as Present Mic's avatar walked through the game and defeated the villains, earning points. " Your goal, dear listeners, is to use your Quirks to earn points by immobilizing the faux villains. Of course, attacking other examinees and any other unheroic actions are prohibited!" The blond hero wagged his finger at them.
" May I ask a question?" A rather bulky boy shot up with his hand raised high.
" Okay!"
A pitch of light was casted upon him, revealing him. He was quite tall, with blue hair perfectly combed and a pair of half rimmed rectangular glasses. " On the printout, there are four types of villains. If that is a misprint, then UA, the most prominent school in Japan, should be ashamed of that foolish mistake. We examinees are here in this place because we wish to be molded into exemplary heroes."
" Hee!" Sora blinked in surprise. " He really is a serious kid." She whispered to Yumei.
The blue haired male whirled over, pointing his finger at the green haired boy. " In addition, you over there with the curly hair. You've been muttering this whole time. It's distracting!"
" I'm sorry..." The curly haired boy mumbled through his hands.
" You too!" His finger now pointed at Yuu and Whisper who was still lecturing him. " I have no idea what that thing is. But if you have something to sort then do it elsewhere! Also, shut that glowing fire of yours!" There was two balls of blue fire hovering by either sides of Yuu by then.
" You!" Whisper forgot about Yuu and was about to launch on him if it wasn't for the purple head wrapping his arms around his large head and restricting him.
" I'm... I'm sorry... I'll keep him calm... As for the fire... Sorry... I can't do much about it..."
This didn't seem to please him. " If you're here on a pleasure trip, then you should leave immediately!"
Very strict. Sora though.
" Okay, okay. Examinee number 7111. Thanks for the great message." Mic managed to pacify him. A forth shadow then appeared on the screen. However, much to everyone's bewilderment, it was labeled 0 points. " The fourth type of villain is worth zero points. That guy's an obstacle, so to speak. There is one in every battle center, an obstacle that will go crazy in narrow spaces. It's not impossible to defeat, but there's no reason to defeat it, either."
The game scene appeared again, though with Present Mic running away from the villain this time. " I recommend that you listeners try to avoid it."
" Thank you very much! Please excuse the interruption!" The boy bowed and settled down.
" He is definitely from an elite school." Yumei commented.
" I see... It's like the obstacles you avoid in videos games, huh?"
" The whole thing is like a video game."
" That's all from me!" Said Present Mic. " Finally, I'll give you listeners a present, our school motto! The hero Napoleon Bonaparte once said: ' A true hero is someone who overcomes life's misfortune.' Go beyond, Plus Ultra!" The motto flashed with large letters across the screen.
There was no reaction from anyone so far. Only Sora was clapping her hands. " Sora?"
" Well, no body answered to him so I felt sorry about that. He is doing his best to cheer us up right."
" Now, everyone, good luck suffering!"
Yuu gulped. " Did he just say... 'Suffering'?"
Yumei glanced over at the white haired girl. " You were saying?"
She chuckled awkwardly. " My bad."...
________________
They first went to change. Once Yuu stepped out of the changing room in black pants, blue short sleeved t-shirt and white and green sneakers, he had three blue flares flattering around him. That seemed to catch Yumei's attention, who was the first to get out of the girls' changing room. She was in a white and green track suits, pink sneakers and a kusarigama was attached to her suit.
" Sora isn't done yet?" Whisper asked, always wrapped around the boy.
" She will be done in a few seconds." Emerald eyes narrowed at the boy in front of her. " You really are stubborn. Didn't I tell you to give up? Do you want to always drag her back?" She flung her hand at the changing room.
Yuu's look dropped. " I don't want... That's why I'm here."
" Nonsense." She folded her arms. " If you really cared for her you should have known where to stop. I'm saying this because I want the best for her. I'm just glad we were assigned to different battle centers." With that, she strolled away from him.
Whisper seemed taken aback by that. " Did something happen between you two?" Yuu didn't say anything, merely looking down and his bang covered his upper face...
________________
The buckets of water dropped down as their holders froze in place. Yumei sighed as she put on her glasses again and casted a look at the boy on the ground who reached for his soaked notes. Her eyes narrowed at him.
" It's no use."
His eyes snapped wide open at those words.
" Putting aside your Quirk, you yourself can't do it. You can't be a hero."
He looked up at her, slightly stunned. For someone who just saved him from the bullies who were saying the same thing moments ago, he didn't see it coming.
" You want to go to UA too, right? Seijin-kun, you better not."
His hands tightened in fists.
" You will just drag Sora's feet like this. She will have to look after you again and again. If you keep sticking around her, you won't allow her to get stronger. You're nothing but a burden to her."
His lips quivered. " I... I may not be strong... That's why I want to get there... That's why..."
" You're selfish! Don't you care about Sora's future!"
" I do!" That was probably the only time she heard him raise his voice. " I really do... That's why, I want to be able to be of help to her... That's why..."
" What someone like you can do! Huh! Getting picked on everyday! Can't even defend yourself! Sora had always stepped in to help you! She would always do! But you! You can't do anything for her!"
She pointed her finger at him as if accusing him. " Can you help her! Can you support her when she is down! Can you correct her when she is wrong! You can't do anything! You've been always in her shadow! You will always be!"
She took in a breath, trying to calm herself down. She didn't expect to burst out at him. She had seen both of them up close, and she definitely couldn't stand him. For her, he wasn't any better than those weakling trudging behind the strong to keep themselves safe. " I fail to see why she would stick around you all the time, even if you're childhood friends."
Seeing that he had no reply to her, she whirled around to leave. " Just, do her a favor and stop holding her back. Sora deserves more. For her sake, don't apply to UA. She will end up helping you in the entrance exam as well."
She started strolling away, yet stopped on her tracks and casted one last look at the boy who pulled himself up. " I won't..."
Her eyes narrowed. " Selfish..."...
_______________
Yuu's hands balled till his knuckles went white in color. " I will definitely get into UA."
" That's the spirit kid!" Whisper slapped him on the back.
" Ah! Yuu, Whisper!" Sora came out of the changing room, clad in a white hoodie vest with short sleeves, beneath the knee black bike shorts and cyan sneakers.
She waved and ran off to them. " Glad you're here. I can wish you good luck." She casted a look around but didn't see her other friend. " Guess Yumei just went ahead right? Well, our rides are awaiting us. We need to hurry. Good luck again."
He nodded. " Good luck to you too."
She then hurried off towards the bus with the letter D printed on it...
________________
She stood along fifty other people in front of a large metallic gate. " So... So large. Are the other ones the same size at this. Just how much territory UA has?"
Everyone around her where mumbling or trying to calm themselves down. She would be lying if she said she wasn't nervous. But she shook her head as if trying to shake away some bad thoughts. " Get yourself together, Shirogane Sora! You decided to become a hero! So give it your best shot!"
" Huh! What's that?"
" A blimp?"
" It's!"
Everyone glanced up the sky upon hearing that. True for that, a blimp with the school emblem was floating overhead. It has a screen attached to it, one that was broadcasting Present Mic's picture. " Okay, start!" He yelled.
" Eh?"
" What's wrong? There are no countdowns in real fights! Run, run! The die has been cast, you know!"
Everyone immediately rushed through the gates and fanned within the routes of the city.
" This is bad, I was late to react." Before she knew it, she heard smashing noises and glimpsed pieces of robot armors flying up. " They're already starting! Guess I have to go for it then!"
Wings started growing out of her back. Just as she kicked the ground and flew upward, she was just in time to avoid a 2 point robot's attack. " That was close!"
She flapped her large wings and dropped with a neck breaking speed on the robot, with a single kick aiming at the torso, she managed to break it, earning her first points. If it's robots, then they don't have auras. I can't predict their moves. Also...
She looked at the other examinees in that place. That robot stood still and focused on me even after I flew out of its reach. It could have gone for any other moving target. Which means...
She smirked widely as she realized it, soaring ahead at a high speed and passing by each robot she could encounter. After a minute or so, her guess was proven right as a bunch of them kept chasing after her. " A lock on system, huh? So you guys won't leave me alone until either of us is over."
With a quick beat of her wings, she was flying in the other direction, back towards the robots. All it took is a punch and a kick as she sped through them and she already had 14 points.
" Oi! For real!"
" How did she!"
" Watch out!" Both boys didn't realize the 3 point sneaking behind them. But in a split second she was already in front of them. They couldn't see her, only the strong wind issued by her as she passed them. With a round house kick, she took down the 3 point.
" Incredible strength!"
" This is no human thing!"
She merely breathed out.
" Eh? Didn't she just take down our prey!"
" You did that on purpose!"
Upon hearing that, a tick manifested on her head. She whirled to face them with an annoyed smile. " You know, I just saved you guys. I could have gone and earned myself another 10 points by now."
They didn't have the words to retort. " Well then, good luck with the rest." She flew away and rested on a high roof, trying to search for more robots. " Yumei would have said I was being stupid."
" Six minutes and two seconds left!" Present Mic announced.
" Man, now I've done it. Because I rushed to help them I've missed my chance. Now most robots should have locked on someone." She glanced over her shoulder and back at her white wings. " And I can't use those for a long time. I've gotta catch up." She spread her wings to fly and find more robots, however, her eyes caught something.
It was an orange haired girl with a mob of robots on her tail. It seemed like she managed to figure out the same thing as Sora, so she tried to lure as many of them. However, Sora could see it was too much for her. And the girl was sprinting down a nearby alley with a dead end. It wasn't like she could see it from her spot, but once reaching the end she will be cornered.
" That's bad!" Sora's first thoughts were to save her. But before she would do so, Yumei's words rang in her ears. " You're always rushing over."
She stopped and thought of it. Yumei would have said that it wasn't time to worry about others. Now her points weren't near what others had earned and half the time had passed. Most of the robots were littered on the ground by then. Her wings will be out of order soon. And if she helps her, she will be out.
That was the logical way of thinking, yet...
Just at that moment the whole city trembled. Smoke erupted from the other side of the field." That's..." Her red eyes widened as she saw what was coming. It was a gigantic robot, even by passing through the street it caused glass to shatter. " No one said it was this huge!" She complained.
Even being that far from it, she could see it clearly. One punch from it causing a vigour wind that pushed some of the examinees of their feet. Most of them were rushing away from it, not wanting to get caught.
" I should go there. The confusion is a chance for me." Still, her eyes darted back to the girl she saw from earlier. And as predicted, she was cornered.
" I want to be a hero and find the truth myself!"
" You're always rushing over!"
Her eyes wondered in between the 0 point and the girl. What are you doing, Sora! More than UA! What was it that you wanted!
" Be it as trivial or plain as people may see it. But we should always-"
"Reach out for those in front of us!" Sora zoomed through the air, reaching to the whereabout of the other examine. " Hand up!" Upon hearing that, green eyes narrowed as she held her hand high. Sora swept down, grasped it and hurriedly rushed upwards away from the swarm.
" Th- Thank you..." The girl said, looking down at the robots standing still down there. Sora immediately knew it. " Don't tell me, you're still at 0 point!"
" I thought I could handle them after gathering many. Didn't expect to get cornered." The girl was frustrated with herself. Sora casted a look at the giant robot. It was miles away from them.
" They're coming after us!" Sora's eyes snapped back. True, the mob of bots were on their tail.
" They won't leave us alone!" With the lock on system, it was all but impossible to escape.
" Less than two minutes left!" Sora gritted her teeth as she racked her brain for some idea to get them out of that dilemma.
" Are you okay? Can you still fight?"
The girl's fist magnified in response. " Ah! I wasn't hurt! Lower the attitude! I will deal with them!"
Sora did as she was told and the other female swung her gigantic hand around, thrashing away the robots. " Yosh!"
" Be careful!"
Some of them clung to her hand, pulling her towards the ground, she struggled to get free but their weight together was much for her. Albeit Sora wouldn't let go of her easily. " How persistent for robots!"
She dug through her pockets and pulled a few throwing knifes, throwing them at the ones clinging on the giant hand and forcing them back.
There was another tremor, closer this time, and a wave of wind. Sora managed to hold still in front of it. But debris were thrown off by the strong gale and headed their way. " No you're not!"
She used her giant hand as a shield, all the thrown debris came ramming into it, which made her wince in pain. When the wind died, both girls were panting heavily. At that moment, they could see it clearly, the large form of the 0 point. It turned around towards them and its visors glistened.
" One minute left!"
" Oi... Does this mean..."
" It locked us on!" Sora quickly zoomed as far away as she could from the robot.
" Let go of me! I will slow you down!"
" No you're not! We're getting out of this together!"
The 0 point was still following after them, stretching its hand as to capture them. Sora was doing her best to keep a safe distance. This is bad! I'm nearing my limit!
She glanced down at the girl holding to her hand. It's not the right time to think about that! Be it whatever it be, I'm saving her! No matter how I'll-
" Time's up!"
Just when the giant hand almost, almost closed around them, the sound of a siren blared through the whole place. The huge robot stopped inches from them. Both girls dropped to the ground, tired and shaken. " We're saved."
In a few minutes, they were all talking about what they had done, how much points they gained and commenting on each other Quirks.
" Thanks for helping me out there. " The orange head smiled at Sora who scratched the back of her head nervously.
" It was nothing, really. And you saved me back then from the flying debris."
" But if you hadn't come I would have been caught up in there and probably got run over by the 0 point. Thank you again...uh?"
" Ah, Shirogane Sora."
" I see. I'm Kendo Itsuka."
" Kendo-san, thank you for today."
" Okay, good work!" They heard thudding approaching them. Looking back, an old lady leaning on what seemed like a large syringe. Her hair pulled up into a netted bun and secured with a smaller syringe. " Good work, good work! Have some gummies. You too."
" That's..."
" Recovery Girl, UA's nurse." Kendo elaborated. " She must have been roaming around all centers healing injured people. It must be tough for her."
" Why would they make such dangerous test in the first place."
" Here you too." Kendo snapped when Recovery Girl offered her some gummy bears. " And you too. You must be tired after that hard work. "
" Thanks." She said taking her gummies.
" Well, seems no one here is in need of a kiss. Thankfully. You all did well. You can all go home and get some rest then."
With that, their entrance exam has ended...
________________
" Yuu!" She waved at him as soon as he reached the main gate along with Whisper. She was waiting there with Yumei who, more or less, seemed displeased. " Then, how did you do? How much points you got? I had 17!"
" I... I had 12..." He looked down.
" Think we should wait for the results to come." Yumei shrugged.
" Even if, there were those who had above 30. I doubt Yuu has any chance. " He looked down at the boy. " That's why I told you, you should leave him be!"
" I... I couldn't..."
" Enough!" Sora piped in. " You know what? We're all tired and hungry. So let's go back home and rest well. We did our best after all, nothing to feel sorry about."
" She has a point." Muttered the ghost.
" Then let's go." Said Yumei as she walked ahead of them back to the station...
________________
" So? When the results are coming up?"
The purple head blinked as it was unusual for his parents to address him on the dining table. " ... In one week."
" And you really think UA will take someone like you? I bet you didn't do well in the entrance exam."
His mother's words made it hard for him to swallow the mouthful of rice he just had. " I don't know."
" Well, there is always still some other options. I can have my friends find you a part time job first." His father stated nonchalantly.
" I didn't give up..."
" Huh? What do you mean?"
" Thanks for the meal." He placed down the chopsticks and left behind a half full plate...
If I just... Left him...
________________
"Run, run! The die has been cast, you know!"
By the time he snapped out of it, everyone had already advanced.
" What are you doing?" A voice called out as one of his three flames dropped down and enlarged. Soon he was riding a large white fox with nine tails that manifested out of the blue fire. " You will be left behind!"
(Kyubi)
The fox rushed at full speed, jumping overhead the rest of the examinees and taking down one of the robots under its weight. " Nice way to go Kyubi! Now we have 3 points!" Whisper cheered.
" Focus, Yuu. We need to work together." The fox reared her head at the boy. " You're my master, I can't do much without you."
Yuu nodded as he held on to Kyubi. " Everyone are trying to gather points hastily... But... We need to get ahead of them..."
" How?" Whisper closed in to him.
" We should focus on the 3 points." He pointed at a bunch of robot ahead of them. " If we take as much of them as we could..."
" I see... We can take the lead."
" Good thinking soldier!" Whisper slapped his back, almost knocking him out.
" Hold on tightly!" She rushed ahead, taking another 3 points as she used it as a stepping stone. "Fox Tail Inferno!" Each of her tails had a blue fire at its end before she discharged them at the faux villain, earning another 3 points.
" Cool! We're taking the lead!" Whisper was shaking Yuu ecstatically.
" It's not... But, we can save our energy more this way... With Kyubi's speed, it should be easy..."
" We better hurry before the others embark in battle as well." She bounced from one wall to another in the search for their target. Whisper as well was whirling around in order to glimpse one.
" There! By the convenient store!" He pointed at a 3 points chasing after a girl. Kyubi nimbly changed her direction and dropped on it, smashing it under her weight.
" Way to go! Let's keep this spirit! To the next one!"
Kyubi quickly rushed away, jumping from one roof to another.
" Six minutes and two seconds left!"
" This quickly! Hurry up Kyubi! And Yuu too! Use your eyes more soldier!" The ghost was whirling Yuu's head around to look for more targets. However, what he saw was something else.
" Kyubi! Get back!" He yelled. Kyubi immediately backed just as what seemed like a huge ball of rubber zoomed through where they were. The ball was bouncing around in between the buildings, gaining more speed and power.
Upon second look, Yuu could see it was no ball, but a human huddled on themselves like one. Whisper seemed to notice that too." What's that! Didn't this guy hear that it's prohibited to attack other examinees !" They could see that they were bumping robots and humans all along.
" Something must be wrong with them... Kyubi... Please get closer!"
Kyubi was slightly surprised by that. Whisper was enraged. " Listen! It's not time to worry about others now! If we don't hurry with gathering points we will be disqualified!"
" I have to agree with Whisper, Yuu."
Yuu pursed his lips as the ghost shouted. " If you lose your time here, you won't be able to get to UA! They must have some...extra plans to deal with things like this! Let's leave it to the UA team!"
Yuu truly didn't want to lose his time. Losing the chance to get into UA means losing everything. He didn't want to imagine the satisfied smirks on his parents' faces when he returns home defeated.
Meanwhile, the person rampaging down the street plunged into the glass windows, breaking them and bouncing off. Yuu's eyes widened when he spotted threads of red coming out of their body.
" And I will become a hero who can protect what he holds dear."
" Kyubi... Go after them..."
" Yuu!"
His lips quivered slightly. " If I can't act to help the one in front of me now... How can I ever... Protect those close to me."
" Nonsense! This is nonsense!" Whisper's translucent white face was shifting to red. " Are you sacrificing your own dream! This way you won't really be able to protect anything!"
" Even though..."
" What someone like you could do?"
" Please... Kyubi..."
Kyubi stayed silent, as if making sure of his resolve. " Your stamina will be over soon. Then I will dissipate. You won't be able to earn anymore points."
" It's fine... Just..."
A rumble was heard nearby, Whisper twisted his ghostly body so he could get a glimpse of what was happening. " 0 point ! 0 point is right behind us!"
Kyubi's head reared one more time, checking her master's expression before finally nodding. " Hold tight!"
She jumped from the roof top just as the 0 point grasped it for support. She dived down at a high speed and did a summersault midair to lend properly then sprinted down the route, catching up with the human bouncing ball.
" Yuu! At this speed I can't catch up!" Trembling as he was, Yuu hunched over, his purple eyes shining brightly as he poured from his energy onto her. Kyubi's speed increased as she managed to follow the other examinee.
" Hey you!" The purple head shouted through the wind. " Slow down!"
" I can't!" By the voice it was pretty obvious the person was a boy. " Get away before you're hurt!"
" Less than two minutes left!"
Yuu had to duck his head as the other boy unintentionally bounced towards him. " Can't he turn off his quirk?" Whispered questioned.
" It seems his Quirk makes him as flexible as rubber." Kyubi explained. " If he shut it down at that speed, he will..."
She felt Yuu's grasp tighten on her fur. " Then... we have to stop him."
" It's impossible! With those random moves!" Whisper shouted, wondering if he was the only one being logical there. " And we're not out of the 0 point range yet! It could come for us!"
" All the more reason to help him."
" Yuu..."
" You can do it... Kyubi... With your speed..."
" One minute left!"
The white fox nodded.
" Then I will pour my very last onto you... Please save him..."
Feeling the energy surging through her, Kyubi's speed increased, she overtook the other boy and sprinted ahead of him. " I will!"
She skidded to a halt and bolted back, with her momentous increased speed and power, leaping on the rubber like boy, she managed to pin him down into the ground, causing a crack due to the force. If the boy's body wasn't rubber back then, it would have smashed under the force. " Did I overdo it?"
" Time's up!"
The sound of a siren lingered in the area. Kyubi sighed and looked down at the boy on the ground. It seems he was knocked out. By the look of it, his body was back to normal. He had few wounds from his rampaging but other than that, he was unharmed.
She looked back at the boy who passed out on her back, but still clenching tightly to her. " This is what you wanted, right, Yuu?"
Her body was becoming transparent by the second. Now that her master was out of stamina, she could no longer hold a physical form. Gently she lowered and laid him on the ground. " I will leave the rest for you Whisper."
The ghost nodded before she was completely gone...
_________________
Yuu shut the door of his room and slumped face down on his bed. He was still tired and beaten up from the test. Even Recovery Girl couldn't do much for him seeing his stamina was almost drained. " You're an idiot. You know."
Whisper's head phased through the ceiling, upside down with a deep scoul. An irritated air visible all around him. " I know..." Yuu sighed, burying his head in the pillow further. " If I just left him... I could have passed... But..." He closed his eyes. "... I don't regret it..."
And he drifted away to sleep...
