Chapter 228: A Stilled Heart



Nikolai shrugged. He couldn\'t hide his disappointment. He had expected the fight to be as grueling and exciting as the one Kiro had vs the Queen.

"Most importantly, system why the f*ck would you give those two true blood potions?"

Ding!

[I\'m not your personal search bar for answers, guardian. I didn\'t give them anything, it\'s up to ones luck whether one finds these or not. Shut up and do your job.]

Kiro wished he could get a moment with the system, so he could pummel it into ground beef. Ursa and Isaac started walking towards them, they clearly hadn\'t the slightest clue about harbingers before this.

He was a bit mad that the system didn\'t transport them back where they were. The system was just all sorts of disrespectful.

Then, like magic, the fallen rubble started moving on its own. Inserting themselves on the fall buildings, slowly the buildings started to rise once again.

"I know what I did was wrong..."

"You do, do you? Great job." Kiro dismissed her before she could inflict her poison.

"I\'m really sorry doing what I did, I do regret it even if it seems I don\'t. I\'m not asking us to be friends or anything like that, but it seems we have to work together anyway." Ursa finished her thoughts, she didn\'t let Kiro deter her.

"You have some nerve." Isla chimed in, putting herself between Ursa and Kiro, as if to protect him from her poisonous words.

She was a bit weak from the last attack, he noticed that much but he let her do as she pleased.

"I\'m not asking for forgiveness," she was now directly speaking to Isla. "I know what—"

"Maybe you do know, but I don\'t think you understand the repercussions of your actions had you succeeded." She looked her up and down and then at Isaac with contempt. "None of you do."

"I—"

Isla had already formed her mana arrow, aiming right at them. She didn\'t think they should trust them, they were too self-centred to care about anybody else but themselves. That\'s what she believed.

"You aren\'t welcomed in this space!" She shouted.

Isaac, like the coward he was, was the first one to log out. Ursa followed shortly after. Isla\'s arrow decipated into thin air before she fell, in Kiro\'s arms.

"Are you okay?" He asked concerned.

"I am now. Just a bit tired." She smiled a little.

She was being held by her favourite person, of course she was okay to an extent. Kiro couldn\'t help but chuckle. He\'d really gained am exquisite partner, he wasn\'t sure how to really keep her happy but he\'d grown up in a household with two parents that were madly in love even after a decade of marriage. How hard could it be?

"Saanvi, your friend is dying here, why aren\'t you doing anything?"

"Right..." She started healing her.

"You\'re pretty careless, you almost went into a coma because you drained your mana." He whispered to her, playing with her hair a bit.

"It was worth it, I think." She smiled blissfully, as this was a kind of heaven for her.

It didn\'t take much time, just several minutes for the capital to be back in its original state. But it was a ghost city, no NPCs or players on sight.

When he checked the system and what he could do in-game, there was only one option, which was to log out.

"Well, that\'s a bummer, having this world to ourselves, to do as we please would\'ve been great." Kiro said as Isla was done being healed.

They decided to all log out, there was nothing to be done after all. The game was going through a patch.

When he got out of the game his phone was blowing up, he had over 50 missed calls from Ishaan and just as many messages asking what was up, whether they were okay. He called him to ease his nerves.

It was already their time for the afternoon training so he didn\'t tell him a lot, he figured they\'d talk while doing sets. They lived far apart, especially with Nikolai and Felix.

So their ingenious idea was that, they\'d use their own house gyms, while on call with each other, to ensure everyone was doing their day\'s work.

They did this from 5 in the morning to 7 and from 4 in the afternoon until 7. They all told Ishaan what happened, which made him more left out of the group. He didn\'t feel like he was part of after dark unless he was also a guardian.

"Don\'t worry, I have a potion recipe for it. I\'ve been working on creating one the last couple of days." Hiro told him, trying to console him.

"Oh and Ishaan, I don\'t know if we\'ve said this already but speaking about that thing in real life is strictly forbidden." Kiro told him.

He simply nodded, as if that lit a fire under him, he started to do everything faster than the rest. They didn\'t ask him to slow down, instead they worked harder to catch up to him. They understood his pain after all.

After the workout, Kiro asked them if they wanted to tag along as he had to check out their headquarters, he received a message that afternoon that it was finished.

They all passed, Ishaan wasn\'t in the mood. The other two were busy with other things, only Hiro agreed to accompany him. He didn\'t take that as a loss, he understood they had lives, especially with Ishaan, he had a lot on his mind.

"Well you guys, we\'ll see each other soon. We should prepare for the guild wars next month, it\'s going to be a lot of work. I\'d prefer we didn\'t choose a strong or already known guild."

They dismissed themselves. Freya had her concerns letting her son out of the house after the incident, but Kiro managed to calm her down. He\'d have to leave for school after all, they can\'t keep him there forever.
