13 Ch. 13 Rest.

( Zero Pov )

Bam has been in unconscious for two days now, and he has yet to awaken.

' If he doesn't wake up now. He won't be able to join the test tomorrow.' I thought as I sat on a bench outside of Bams' room.

Khun was inside checking on him.

" Hm?" I turned to see Rachel walking down the hallway to Bam's room.

She glanced at me as I observed her.

A gut feeling told me not to trust her. As if a snake is trying to slither its way into the room.

" Is Bam inside?" She smiled.

" Yes. And he's still unconscious." I replied before ignoring her.

She knocked on the door.

" May I come in?"

" Yes, come in." Khun replied

Rachel opened the door and entered.

I sighed and stood up to leave.

As I walked through the hallway, I heard screaming.

I peeked inside to see the tracksuit being electrocuted by Bam's sword.

I frowned as I entered.

" Didn't my victory nullify your deal?" I asked, catching the green girls attention.

We both locked eyes before she spoke.

" Try it." She spoke. .

The tracksuit gave me the sword.

" Oh, my! Another cutie!" I heard a voice as I felt a woman's hands touching me.

" Perv." I dropped the sword.

" It...it worked??" Tracksuit exclaimed.

" I see. It's a pervert for cute boys..." The green girl muttered.

She picked up the sword again.

" Sigh, as much as I don't want to touch it. It's best you give it..."

" Hey! Sweatshirt! Let's drink!!" A woman buried through the door as we all froze.

" Not bad, having a girl visit you at night." The green girl turned towards sweatsuit.

" No, that's not a girl. She's an old lady. Doesn't count, Annak."

" What?"

' Hmm, so her name is Anaak. And it seems the woman is interested in sweatsuit.'

I sighed and left the room to chase after Anaak, who still held the sword, leaving the arguing couple.

I was about to call her out when another woman appeared down the hall.

" Hi!" She spoke, but Anaak ignored her.

" ignored me?!" She exclaimed as I ignored her too.

" You too?!"

After a few seconds, she started explaining the owner of the black march.

' Fake?' I managed to decipher that word as Anaak attacked the other girl.

I stepped to the side to dodge as her attack reached the woman, which was blocked by her single things.

After that, she walked away but stopped as she turned around.

" Hey, spooky eyes."

" Who..who's spooky eyes?!!" The woman shouted.

Anaak asked about Rachel.

' Another world?...' I thought as I decided to speak up.

" By " Another world" do you mean by someone who thinks differently or just entirely different." I spoke, catching the two girls' attention.

" Hmm, I say It's close to you, Mr. Mysterious." The woman smiled.

I crossed my arms.

' That... doesn't really answer the question. But it's a start, at least.'

' Bam said he was looking for her on the first floor, which means they knew each other before that time. But what caused their separation?'

" Hey, are you listening?" The woman asked.

" Yes." I replied.

" And the big guy, what's up with him?" I asked.

" Hm? Aren't you asking the wrong question? If you're interested in my team so much, why don't you start with me?" She smirked.

" Uhm...what?" I blinked my eyes.

' Is she... flirting?'

' Maybe... maybe I could use this to my advantage to gain more intelligence.'

" Really? Then what's the relationship between you and the bug guy?"

" Hmm, are you jealous?"

" You could say that." I replied.

This woman had also prived to be useful.

' Maybe I could make an alliance with her as well... if she proves to be trustful.'

( Khun Pov )

" Bam... was a lonely boy. He was always...alone...and lonely. "

" Before he came up the tower, the only friend Bam had was me. When he heard that i was going up the tower... Bam cried and told me not to go..."

" But I left him... and entered the tower...I... thought I would never meet him again."

" But he appeared in front of me. I couldn't fight him nor his friend, so I decided to help. Even though I wasn't as much help as my teammates who helped."

" Do you know Zero?" I asked.

" Zero? No... I don't." Rachel replied.

' So no one knows Zero before entering the tower...'

I finally heard Bam's but never Zero's.

' He's still a mystery.' I thought as j continued to listen to Rachel.

After the talk, I stood outside of Bams toom as the crocodile stood by the corner, acting like a boy with a crush.

" What are you doing, Crocodile?"

" No... I just... it's not like.... I'm not worried about that turtle! I just wanted to check... if my prey is okay... just a food... check!"

" Come in if you're worried. Don't stand there like a guy with a crush." I opened the door.

" You got it wrong! I'm cold-hearted!!" He shouted.

" Hey! Is he dead? Say no!!" Crocodile shouted.

" Open your eyes, turtle!! If not, I'll eat you!! Turtle!!"

" What's with shouting?"

" Hm?" I turned to see Zero entering with a smile.

' He's... smiling?'

" What's with the smile? Did you meet your crush?" I asked.

" Huh? Smile?" He put his hand on his mouth.

' It seems he's not a complete monster.' I thought as I saw Rak pointing at the bananas.

" You ate all the yellow things!? I'll kill you!" He shouted.

( Zero Pov )

It seemed I was smiling while converting with that woman. But the green girl escaped.

I didn't notice until I was in Bam's room.

I touched my chest as I sat down on the floor.

It was beginning to calm down.

' That's odd... I didn't have a fight... yet it's still beating rapidly...' I frowned, not liking this new feeling.
