When Keira opened her eyes, the first thing that she saw was the hospital's ceiling and the first voice that rung on her ears is someone she hated the most.
"The ugly monster is awake!" Theo exclaimed, so she grabbed his hair when he came closer to her proximity.
"Damn you, Keira! Let go!" He shouted as he tried to get away from the claws of Keira. Rylan, Reverend Anthony, Lucas, Harold, and the Commander of the 4th Division of Veritas who were sitting on the sofa, witnessed this hilarious scene.
Harold laughed out loud because of how funny Theo is still struggling from the clutch of Keira on his hair and said, "Keira's fierceness means she is perfectly fine.".
"Do you want me to go bald?! Let go already!" Theo shouted, but Keira won't let his hair go.
Keira who is not letting go of his hair coldly replied, "I don't mind. A loser losing his hair… not bad. You should have kept your mouth shut, fucking loser. You know how annoying your voice is that I had a nightmare."
"Let go now or I will use my fist even if you are a patient. Also, just to remind you, monsters like you do not have a nightmare as you yourself is a nightmare." Theo said while gritting his teeth.
"Go ahead. I will smash your head on the floor. Fucking loser." Keira replied and they started their never-ending brawl like there is no tomorrow.
"I wonder what sacred book should you two copy in addition to the Holy Bible?" Reverend Anthony interrupted them as they are now being an embarrassment. Keira immediately let go Theo's hair while the latter distanced himself to her as he does not want to get bald yet.
"You two never know how to stop." Reverend Anthony commented and sighed, rubbing his temple.
Rylan stands up from the sofa and sat on the chair beside Keira's bed to adjust her bed.
"How long am I unconscious this time?" Keira asked while seriously looking at him.
"Keira, I think you should focus on recovering first. Why do you always pick a fight with Theo?" He dodged Keira's question as he unwrapped a plastic bag and grabbed one pink-colored puto and feed it to her.
"I don't pick a fight with him. He is the one who always started it." Keira explained while Rylan fed her again another piece of puto in purple color this time.
"What are you saying? It is obvious that you are obsessed with me." Theo confidently said with a smug on his face while leaning on the edge of the wall, but seconds after, his cool disappeared when Keira threw the red apple that she grabbed on the table and throw it on him. It hits hard on his lips, that his tongue and mouth bled.
"Oh… watch your mouth, it's bleeding." Keira coldly said.
"Damn you, Keira!" Theo clenched his fist and was about to throw a punch on her, but Rylan stopped him, dragging him out from the room.
"Both of you won't calm down for a minute." The Reverend said as he heavily sighed and left the room to look after the injured Theo.
"Tch." Keira clicked her tongue and was about to lay down again, when she finally realized that there are still people inside the room. She flinched a little when she saw Lucas and the Commander of the 4th Division sitting on the sofa, on their back is a group of unclean spirits.
"You are really fierce, contrary to your innocent-looking beauty." The Commander of the 4th Division of Veritas, Gregorio Jimenez, commented while she grabbed another apple from the table.
"Who are you?" Keira coldly asked while tightening her clutch on the apple.
"Hey, hey… please calm down." Gregorio nervously said while raising his hands, as if he is being arrested, but Keira already threw the apple to Lucas in a speed of light.
"Why are you resorting to violence all the time?" Lucas asked as soon as he dodged the apple, and a loud smashing sound was heard when the apple hit the wall.
'Whoa…scary." Gregorio thought while awkwardly smiling.
"Answer me. Who are you?" She asked again, looking at direction of Gregorio with her expressionless and blank ebony eyes.
"Well… I am the Commander---" Gregorio was about to introduce himself, but he was interrupted by Keira.
"Not you. Shut up and call those men from the Special Division now!" Keira hurriedly said, looking fiercer than before.
'What is this creature? I did not sense it before. Same with the others, they did not sense it. I cannot also determine their class. Damn!' Keira thought while looking at the unmoving and smiling faces of the unclean spirits in front of her.
Gregorio felt chills over his body, and sensed danger when Keira told him to look for the people from the Special Division, so he immediately left the room to inform them what Keira said.
"Are you seeing them again?" Lucas curiously asked, and Keira looked at him with a surprised look.
"Why are you still here? Get out!" Keira shouted as she removed the IV drop injected on her arm. Lucas was worried on her reckless action that led her arm to bled. She did not hesitate to stand up from her bed and grabbed Lucas' wrist to hurriedly go out of the room and run in the hospital's corridor.
"Keira!" A beautiful lady with silver locks worriedly called her as soon as she sees her. Behind the lady are Theo, Reverend Anthony, Theo, Gregorio, and Rylan. Keira run towards them, still holding Lucas's wrist. She only let it go when she clung at the arm of the beautiful lady to rest as she heavily pants and said, "Safe…"
Rylan worriedly asked, "What's wrong?"
Keira's ebony eyes widened as she replied with a trembling voice, "I cannot determine them. They do not belong to any of the class, but I am certain… they are stronger than the Demon-Class."
Rylan opened his communicator, "Urgent. Gather the family heads of the IPEA. A 'New Class' appeared. Posing more danger than the Demon-Class."
After he closed his communicator, he turns his gaze for a few seconds at Keira, then spoke to everyone, "Go back for now. I will inform you after our meeting."
"Keira, wait in the apartment. I have more delicacies from Japan and Taiwan in the fridge, you can have them." He gently said to Keira.
Keira looked at him, then sighed before she gloomily replied, "Okay. Give me a blessing before you leave. All of you."
Rylan placed a kiss on her forehead without any resistance from the other person which will made anyone think that they are in a relationship, unless they are members of the IPEA.
Lucas clenched his fists and gritted his teeth as he spoke in a cold tone, "Don't you think it is inappropriate?"
Keira got irritated and let out a "Huh?" sound while glaring at him.
The beautiful lady with silver locks chuckled and casually said, "Ah! I heard you are the one who stole the first kiss of our Keira. Do not worry, these two are just friends with benefits."
She is Jasmine Silvestre, the only sibling of the Reverend who is 20 years younger than him and is described by others as someone who has a carefree personality.
Lucas got even more furious when he heard the relationship of the two and Keira did not deny it, so he coldly replied, "I see."
Keira who is thinking hard whether it sounded right to be called friends with benefits with Rylan and upon reaching a conclusion she said, "We are not just friends with benefits. We are the closest friends with benefits."
Jasmine laughed out loud while veins appeared on the neck of Lucas and coldly replied again, "I see."
Rylan sighed and the Reverend spoke in a hurry but in a gentle tone, "Just wait for us. Do not run around like last time without informing one of us. We were really worried about you."
Same with what Rylan did, the Reverend also placed a kiss on her forehead.
"I know you are an ugly monster--- ugh!" Before Theo could finish his sentence, he felt a heavy pain on his stomach, Keira landed a good punch on him.
"Hurry up and finish the blessing." The Reverend immediately instructed but sounded like a threat, and they both complied while gritting their teeth.
A blessing is transferring a small amount of their spiritual energy to other members of IPEA through physical touch. The spiritual energy is like a connection where the receiver can see and hear the surroundings of the giver.
The three men left the hospital in a hurry while the remaining waited for a few minutes before the driver from the Special Division, Mr. Bartolome, came to pick them up.
When they all settled down inside the car, Mr. Bartolome asked, "Sirs, is it okay if I drop our members to the Commander's apartment?"
Lucas who is sitting in the passenger's seat, got uncomfortable and a black aura surrounded him as he replied with a smile on his face but not his eyes, "Of course. It's no problem."
Looking uneasy as she is troubled on the unidentified class of unclean spirits that she just encountered, Keira reached for the car door handle and said, "No. I need to meet someone---"
She stopped when the car doors were locked. "What are you doing?"
Mr. Bartolome awkwardly smiled and nervously replied, "It's the Commander's order."
Keira glared at him without saying a word. Mr. Bartolome opened his communicator and contacted Rylan.
Mr. Bartolome nervously spoke in the communicator, "Um, C-Commander… Ms. Keira---"
Rylan knowing that Keira is making a fuss right now, he said over the communicator, "Keira must be safely confined in the apartment no matter what. Locked her, chained her, knocked her out, I don't care. Do whatever it takes to confine her or else you, Mr. Bartolome will suffer the consequences."
Rylan turned-off his communicator before Keira could say a word on the communicator that she immediately grabbed from Mr. Bartolome as soon as Rylan responded.
Keira heavily sighed as she scratched the top of her head and murmured to herself, "What an asshole."
She threw the communicator back to Mr. Bartolome. He caught it by luck, and he immediately started to drive.
Lucas, whose eyes did not leave the car's rear-view mirror to watch Keira, saw how troubled she is, so he curiously asked, "You said that he is your closest friend. Then, why does he treat you like a captive?"
"…"
