[Ciel's POV]
After Ryujin fell asleep, I removed my hand from his own. I would want to stay like that forever but he would want me to rest.
I got out from the room. Zerox was standing behind the door.
"My lady! You have been discharged but right now the academy is in chaos so we will have go to one of our mansios in this city."
"Ok."
I replied to him bleamingly.
He also gave me a small smile. I got into the car. As I was scrolling through the internet, I had a proud expression on my face.
Every news article, magazine was talking about the heroics of Ryujin. There were also articles of me but I didn't care about mine.
(The boy with the Divine Ability saves thousands of students lives.)
(Unbelievable: An E-rank hero fights on equal terms with an S-rank )
( The hero that will lead this generation)
Out of all the articles there was one that gained the most attention.
(Astrik's Dragon)
Ryujin is strong. He could be called one of the best hero of our generation. Hmm..but I wonder why they called him a dragon?
" Zerox do you know why they are calling Ryujin dragon?"
Zerox looked at me from the car's rear view mirror.
"His name originates from Japanese language. . His family must have a japanese origin. The 'Ryu' in 'Ryujin' means dragon."
Ohh! That is quite a cool name. When we were driving towards the mansion, I could see thousands of heroes and reporters around the academy.
"Looks like grandfather is going to be busy."
"Yeah! The academy is going to be closed for a week. If not for Ryujin then the academy would have to face even more problems. Your grandfather could even have lost his position as the headmaster. Thank God! We managed to convince him to join the academy."
Huh? Convinced him. I thought he wanted to join the academy but he got caught up in the attack at Sunset city.
"What do you mean by convince him?"
Zerox realized that he revealed too much. I could see sweat form on his forehead.
"Zerox, If you don't tell me I am hoing to stay in a hotel rather than going to the mansion."
"Haaa"
Zerox let out a long sigh.
"Master may kill me for this. Ryujin didn't want to join the academy. He only filled the registration form and ran away to Sunset city but stuff happened and he had to help your grandfatherdefeat the monster. We went to his house and convinced him to join the academy."
That is a lot of information. Grandfather might kill you for revealing too much but why did Ryujin not want to join the academy?
"Zerox bring me tp the hospital tomorrow as well."
"That might be difficult my lady. The goverment and almost every guild in the world is protecting that hospital, especially Ryujin but I can take you there when he is going to get discharged."
"Why do even the guilds have to protect him?"
"The Government ordered them and even if it didn't, the guilds would automatically protect Ryujin. He has already shown the world his value.
I wanted to see him everyday but still if he is well protected that is fine by me.
"Ok! Lets meet him when he gets discharged."
******
Three day later Zerox dropped me to the hospital. Ryujin was moved to another room. I had brought some fruits for him. I noticed many fruits in his kitchen at his dorm so I decided to buy some.
I was never conscious of what I wore but today it took me an hour to decide on what to wear. I wore a simple black colored shirt tucked in blue jeans. I rolled my sleeves a bit to look a bit cool.
I was a bit nervous to see him. His words from yesterday still made me fell stuffy. I was on a cloud nine when I thought of him again and again.
I stood behind the door and was ready to open it but I could hear some voices from inside the room.
" You know the girls on the internet are calling you 'Ryu'. They think you name is cute."
" I still remember one of the girls in middle school called you Ryu. What actually happened to her ?"
"She proposed to him but Ryujin again rejected her. That must have been your 200th rejection."
"Just shut up."
I could hear four voices coming in from the room. One of it was of Ryujin. I could never forget his voice. Next was of Adam and I think George and Paul.
From of close they sound they must have been close friends since middle school.
I was hesitating to enter the room but I entered the room anyway. As I entered the room all of them stopped talking. I took a seat right next to Ryujin. Adam,George and Paul were sitting on the opposite side.
Geroge Adam and Paul couldn't believe I was here. Ryujin just smiled at me. Oh! I could kill for that smile.
"I brought some fruits." I put the fruits basket at a table.
"Thank you."
Just a thanks from him makes me the most happy person in the world.
"Ahem."
Adam cleared his throat.
"So how did you come here?"
He asked me.
"On my car. Why do you ask?"
" I mean who gave you permission to enter?"
This guy tries to rile me up for no reason.
" I have a official permission from my guild. What about you? How did you get permission?"
"I don't need any permission to meet my best friend."
Adam emphasized the world best friend. The situation was heating up.
"Guys, don't fight."
"But Ryujin, your safety takes priority right now."
Adam tried to make a solid statement. I can also see where he is coming from but there is no way I would ever think of hurting Ryujin.
"I know you are worried about me but Ciel is someone I trust."
As Ryujin said that I smirked at Adam.
"Tsk"
He just looked away.
"Clack"
I turned towards the door and saw Mei enther the room. There was another woman following her. She must be her assitant.
" Its time for your discharge. Everybody else get out."
We didn't say a word and got out. While we were outside I could see Arlo.
We came to visit him but looks like you beat us."
Mei came out of the room. She walked towards sensei.
"So where will he be staying?"
The academy was closed. Not even the dorms were open and every student had returned home. I guess Ryujin doesn't have anywhere to go. He didn't have a family he could rely on.
"Don't worry.The Emmitt guild, the Dunamis family and even other have offered a place for him to stay. The headmaster also offered one of his mansion for him to stay. Ryujin accepted the headmaater's offer."
I am glad grandfather stepped up for him and offered him a place.
She then looked at me.
"His life is not in a danger anymore but his injuries are still severe. He had almost hundreds of broken bones. Some of the nerves in his legs are damaged a well. If it was other person they would have lost the ability to walk but he is going to be fine. Don't let him walk too much."
Why did she say this while looking at me?
The door opened and Ryujin walked out. He was wearing a white colored t-shirt and blue trousers. However his whole body was covered in bandages. I clenched my fist when I saw him like that.
He looked at all of us.
"Hmm! Thank you for being here. Now lets go."
No thank you Ryujin! You don't need to be so humble. If not for you many of us wouldn't be here.
I stood beside him. I wanted to grab his hands but there were many eyes on him right now. As we were heading out, I could hear a lot of noises.
Once we got of the hospital, many heroes immediately surrounded Ryujin.
"Click! Click"
The sound of camera clikcing could be heard.
I looked around and saw millions of people surrounding the hospital. Each one of them had a camera on their hand.
"Ryujin! Ryujin! Ryujin!"
All of them were shouting his name.
People were cheering. Fireworks were let off. All of us were mesmerized by this. I could see some people holding signs that said.
(Thank you for saving my child.)
(Sorry that I called you a monster)
( Will you marry me? )
No he won't marry you. I looked at Ryujin. He had a stoic expression.
"Ryujin! How do you feel after saving so many people? What is the secret to your strength?"
A reporter got too close to Ryujin and asked him this question. The security was fast to push that man back.
A hero approached us.
"We will have to escort you from the back.There are almost millions of people here. It is impossible for you to get out."
"Ok."
We turned back. There was a exit from the back of the hospital. Before people could arrive there, Ryujin got into a car.
"I will get going then. Bye"
All of us waved back at him. As we tached his car go somewhere, sensei said something under his breath.
"Now I am sure it was him back then."
He said it in such a low tone that none of us could hear but I was a half-vampire and my hearing was a 100 times better. I wondered to myself. Just what did Ryujin do in the past to receive the attention of the hero among heroes.
