He could hear the hydra’s growls as it started chasing after him. Why was he in that place again? He could feel his heart beating wildly as he ran. The heavy steps and the humid air.The hard-to-see terrain because of the darkness of the night.He groaned in pain when he tripped from a root. He immediately stood up and tried to run as fast as he could with his limping foot.He checked his ability cool down and let out a sigh of relief when he realized that it was done with it. He was about to activate his ability but the hydra’s foot almost stomped on him. He dodged but he ended up losing balance and rolling on the ground.“Ah!” Once again, he found himself jolting up from his seat. He didn’t even notice that he fell asleep in the middle of the class. “This is getting annoying,” he mumbled.He looked around and noti

Erin tried to call Xander but he was unavailable. Though she didn’t want the day to end with those two being in a sour mood, Erin had no choice but to let them be. Maybe spending time by themselves would also make them feel somehow better, and it would also give them time to think about things.“Hey, Erin!” Jeffrey called for her when he saw her in front of the DME building. “Where’s Kane and Xander?”“Why are you looking for them from me?” Erin just laughed it off.“Well, you and Xander were inseparable and everyone knew that Kane had been added into your bunch.” Jeffrey smiled. “Knowing Xander, he wouldn’t leave him alone and he would drag you around just to chase after him.”“Well, I guess you’re right about that, Jeff.” Erin smiled awkwardly. “Do you have any idea how to cheer Kane up?”Jeffrey seemed like he wanted to ask more but she sh

The two were impressed as they watched Kane cook the sinigang for them. Though he didn’t look like it, Kane seemed to be skillful as he went on with the cooking. Erin and Xander couldn’t help but admire him. Just imagine a handsome guy with an elegant presence inside the kitchen holding a ladle and preparing something delicious! Wouldn’t that make him seem like an ideal man? “You don’t expect me to prepare the table for you, right?” Kane said as he took a sip of the soup. “What a bummer.” Xander sighed. “Were guests here, you know?” “Guests?” Kane looked at him with his left brow raised. “You just casually barged into my place and now you call yourself a guest?” Erin laughed when Kane looked so annoyed after he said those words. If he had time to get annoyed, did that mean that they finally cheered him up? It was somehow gratifying to watch Kane act like that. He had always been a bit distant and quiet, but at that moment he wasn’t even trying

“Are you seriously ignoring me?” Erin’s eyes grew wide when she noticed the resemblance between the two. Though it wasn’t obvious, the guy resembled Kane when his forehead creased.“Keiffer, don’t make a scene.” Another guy who seemed a little older than Keiffer walked towards them and looked at Kane with disappointed eyes. “There were people who didn’t deserve to exert your energy on.”The guy pulled Keiffer away and the latter glared at Kane as he was being dragged back to their table.Their table was silent when the guy was finally out of sight. Erin was watching out for the atmosphere to become lighter and looked at Xander. However, Xander was still mesmerized as he was looking at the older guy.“Dude, that was your eldest brother, right? Froilan Keith Vasquez…” Xander still couldn’t take his eyes off the two. “He’s so cool.”“So? Go aft

Eren couldn’t stop himself from thinking about that Kane guy. It was the first time that Erin had an argument with their father. Even when she badly wanted to be a member of team nine, she gave in to their father’s order and left the team because their father didn’t allow it. She would be willing to compromise for the situation to settle down but not that time.It was his first time hearing his sister sound so desperate. He even had the thought that Kane could be her boyfriend and that could be the reason why she didn’t want to avoid him. She even asked their father to give him a chance to prove himself!Eren jolted up from his bed and scratched his head as frustration surged within him. Even if Erin already had her coming of age, he couldn’t just give her away to some random man! Erin was his precious sister and he wouldn’t just let any man have her. He needed to have him investigated!He dropped his body back on the bed and
