Lee Hyun had already made its decision from the first moment the window showed him the choices. "Golden Dragon Sword, here I come!'
...
His finger got closer and closer to the Golden Dragon Sword's miniature on the transparent window, but just as he was about to touch it, something hit him on the head.
"You fucking bastard!" Cheon Wonryou, with her face all red from anger, yelled at him immediately after having hit him. "When did you get this fricking strong?! How did you dare to hide your strength from me?!"
"Cheon Wonryou..." Lee Hyun muttered, his face now dark. That hit... that hit made him accidentally touch the Third Eye's icon! It made him choose the Third Eye! His Golden Dragon Sword... his Golden Dragon Sword was gone!
"And how many times do I have to say that you aren't worthy of calling me by my name!" Cheon Wonryon, now even more enraged because Lee Hyun, her servant, called her by her name, immediately went on to hit him once again, but, strangely, her hand was caught.
[The reward will be now received!]
[The passive/active skill, Third Eye, has been received!]
"What? How dare you catch my fist?!" Cheon Wonryou's rage rose even more now, and she threw another punch at Lee Hyun's face, but she strangely stopped almost immediately.
[Lv. 14, Cheon Wonryou]
'Huh? What's this?' Lee Hyun thought, startled by suddenly seeing one of those strange windows above Cheon Wonryou's head. 'Level 14? What does that mean? Is this telling me how strong she is?'
"Ehm, Lee Hyun... your eyes..." Cheon Wonryou once again started talking, this time her voice devoid of anger, but instead filled with bewilderment. "They are... glowing..."
"They are what?" Lee Hyun, releasing her hand from his grip, repeated in confusion. "They are glowing? What do you me-"
But almost instantly, a sharp pain erupted in his eyes, interrupting him. "Ah, fuck! What the fuck's happening?!"
"Why do my eyes hurt so much?!" Lee Hyun started groaning in pain, his eyes hurting as they had never done before. They felt like fucking burning! As if they had entirely immerged into freaking scorching lava!
[Your body is still too weak to handle the Third Eye's true power. Your body is being greatly damaged!]
'Fuck you! Couldn't you have told me before, invisible window? And why did this skill even activate on its own?'
"Lee Hyun... w-what's happening?" Cheon Wonryou, seeing him in that state, couldn't help but worry for him. How could she not? They were childhood friends! She always treats him badly only because that's her way of showing that she cared for him! Yeah... quite strange... How did the Sound Clan even raise her?
"Hehe... you're worrying for me now?" Despite being in extreme pain, at her words, Lee Hyun smiled. Their relationship was developing faster than it did in his last life! Just to make her show a single hint of emotions towards him he had to court her almost every single day in his last life untill after the Third Test! But now... it happened right after the First Test ended! He was so happy in that moment that he didn't even care for the pain!
Sigh... he was such a simp.
"Shit head! This is not the right moment for playing! What's happening to you?"
"Hehe... I'll only tell you if-" Lee Hyun began when, suddenly, from his eyes blood started started leaking.
"Lee Hyun!" Cheon Wonryon instantly yelled in a high pitch voice, her worry now even clearer, making everyone's attention immediately shift to the two of them.
"Huh? What's happening to that guy? Wasn't he standing as if nothing was happening during the 5th Elder's Musical Energy Wave?' Everyone was wondering. 'Why is he suddenly bleeding?'
'That guy... why is he in such a state now?' Even the other young masters couldn't help but be surprised.
"Left Guardian!" Cheon Wonryou continued to exert all of her voice, turning towards the Left Guardian. "Please! Bring him to the infirmary too!"
"Sigh..." However, the Left Guardian just furrowed his brows, looking pissed. Normally, he wouldn't care about someone being in critical conditions or even dying after a test, but since he had personally rushed to the 7th Young Master in front of everyone to ensure his safety, he had to bring this kid too to the infirmary. He couldn't be accused, as the Demonic Academy's principal, to make favoritism. "Take him to the infirmary!"
And at his words, other two mans, dressed the same as the other two, appeared out of nowhere, put Lee Hyun on a stretcher and brought him away as well.
"Thanks, Cheon Wonryou..." Lee Hyun managed to say, blood now covering half of his face, before losing his consciousness. That stretcher... it felt so comfortable. He was right about envying Cheon Yeo Woon being brough away by it before.
"Lee Hyun..." Cheon Wonryou, with her eyes glued to him being taken away uncounscios, muttered. She didn't know why but her heart had almost felt like suffocating when she saw Lee Hyun in that condition. Why did something like that even happen? He was just her servant! Even if they were childhood friends, that shouldn't have happened! She clearly repugnated him when they were training under the Sound Clan together because of his talent being nonexistent, so why? Why did she even choose him as her servant to bring with her in the Demonic Academy? Everything seemed... so... unlogical! Why had she done all of those things?
But while she continued wondering about why she did those things, a certain memory suddenly resurfaced inside of her mind...
...to be continued.
