Duty!

"Thank you!" Jessica bit her lips as she continued to heal him. She couldn't understand why he would go to such an extent to help her.

He didn't say anything. He had obviously lied when he said that his current state was due to the usage of domain.

The truth was that he had used powers from the Cosmic Spark to awaken Jessica's abilities. He had summoned very low power, but that took a heavy toll on his current form. This was precisely why the Cosmic Spark had given him his Kiba form to use its power.

A few minutes later, Zed told Jessica to stop healing him. His internal injuries were healed, but he was still exhausted.

He turned towards Ryan and said, "You were saying something, right?"

Ryan's expression turned unsightly. He had a hard time believing the change in Jessica's ability, but he knew what he saw was true. He had challenged Zed to prove his claims of "there are no trash abilities in this world but only trash teachers."

Zed had proved his words in front of the entire class and assistant trainers. Ryan could hear the sounds of discussion among students and trainers. He knew his reputation would be sullied after the words spread.

"Trash, in the end, is still trash," Zed made a final remark and turned back.

Ryan's eyes burned with fury. He charged at Zed and threw a punch on his back.

With a loud thud, Zed fell on the ground. Everyone was caught off guard by the situation, and it applied to Felicity as well.

"You dare!" Felicity's eyes flashed with a green glow.

Green energy ripples cascaded out of her body and streamed into the ground.

BANG

Enormous roots tore through the ground, splashing soil and stones in all directions. With sonic speed, the roots rushed at Ryan and pierced his thighs.

"Bitch!" Ryan's skin turned into metal. He ripped apart the roots in no time.

"You are going to pay!" Felicity spread her hands apart and then suddenly brought them close.

The branches of nearby trees rapidly expanded in size and then shot at Ryan. He jumped up to dodge the branches and arrived in front of Felicity.

"Stop, otherwise, I will---" Ryan stopped in the middle. He saw strange green vines appearing from Felicity's hands, shooting at his head! He tried to jump back, but the vines were much quicker than he thought. They whipped out, backed by a terrifying force.

"Ahhh!" Ryan was able to protect his head but not his arms and shoulders.

"I tried to show mercy on you!" Ryan gritted his teeth. He could have punched Felicity, but he didn't, afraid of her background. How could he have known she would repay his 'mercy' with an attack?

"Show mercy to your mother!" Felicity clenched her fist, and more vines emerged from the ground nearby.

"Felicity, stop!" Zed rose to his feet with Jessica's help. He knew Felicity was strong, but he also knew Ryan couldn't be underestimated. He was an ex-military and a strength type mutant. Zed was sure Ryan wasn't using the full extent of his ability till now.

Felicity was still adamant, but Zed quickly calmed her.

"I am fine, and he has already paid a price," Zed's voice was magnanimous. The injury he had taken wasn't light, but his voice was full of kind intention.

"You are far too kind for yourself," Felicity made the vines disappear. Zed gave a hollow laugh, but deep in his eyes, there was a sinister glint.

Jessica offered to heal Zed again, but he refused by saying, "There is no need since help is arriving."

"Help?"

"It is here."

A red hovercraft rushed into the training field. Alex and Jamie's faces constricted with envy.

"It is the latest S class!" Alex was annoyed.

"That bastard is sure rich!" Jamie muttered. They were rich, but they couldn't afford to waste money like Zed did.

"You are going home?" Felicity asked. She wasn't aware of the lab in his house, but she knew he had an advanced treatment room.

"Yes. I will come back later on, so don't worry about me," Zed reassured her. He sat in the hovercraft and left.

Jessica looked on as the hovercraft disappeared from her field of vision...

"I will certainly repay him."

The hovercraft was modified by Claudia so she could control it perfectly well.

[[Sir, should I provide the treatment?]] The hovercraft had the facilities for emergency treatment.

"No need," Zed answered. His body started transforming into Kiba.

As he transformed, the wounds on his body rapidly healed. When the transformation completed, all signs of exhaustion disappeared.

Both Zed and Kiba shared the same body. This was why Kiba's sense of crisis automatically activated during his meeting with Hank in White Angel Corporation and made him wary of confronting Sky Fiend Group; even though this ability belonged to Zed and not Kiba.

Similarly, his Zed form could tap into the Power Cosmic, but obviously to disastrous consequences since his body couldn't handle the stress.

Both forms shared everything including exhaustion and injuries. It was just that injuries and exhaustion of Zed form were nothing for Kiba form.

[[What will you do?]] Claudia asked.

"Sleep for an hour or two for now."

[[Of course. Your sleep wasn't complete.]]

"All thanks to you for waking me so soon in the morning."

[[Who was the one who reached home at 4 am in the morning after going on multiple 'adventures'?]

"...I was just kidding."

Kiba always felt a headache when he argued with Claudia. He perfectly knew what she meant by adventures!

[[What about Ryan?]]

"I'm going to tear him to pieces," Kiba's voice was cold. Earlier he planned to forgive him but not after the sneak attack.

[[That will be too much of a punishment. Surely he doesn't deserve death.]]

"Wake me when he reaches his home during the lunch break."

A few hours later. The staff quarters of Royal Heart Academy.

Ryan opened the door of his apartment. His injuries were already healed, but his mood was still bad. The pain of the body was nothing compared to the pain of losing his reputation.

"Honey, you are back!" A woman in her early thirties hugged Ryan. She had dark hair with a fair complexion. If not for the white towel wrapping her body, she was naked!

"Vienna, you took a bath now?" Ryan asked. He could feel her soft, heavy breasts touching his chest.

"Yes, but why is your expression so strange?" Vienna could see the signs of exhaustion on her husband's face.

"Bad day at work. I am in no mood for talk," Ryan entered the bedroom for rest.

Swoosh~

White rays of light erupted in the living room. Soon, the light converged into Kiba.

"Nice apartment."

The apartment had motion sensors to warn about any intrusion, but for someone like him, it was very easy to fool them.

From a nearby food basket, he grabbed an apple. He took a bite and walked around to find Ryan.

He heard the voice of a woman from the bedroom. The room was locked, but that was no problem for him. His eyes flashed with bright radiance, and his vision through the door arrived directly inside the bedroom.

The scene he witnessed made his mouth wide open and his cock as hard as a rock.

"Honey, I can turn your mood around!" Vienna pulled the towel and flashed her mouth-watering curves. Ryan leaned up from the bed and looked at her. In an annoyed voice, he said, "I'm not in the mood!"

Vienna wasn't displeased. She took a bottle of oil and poured the oil over her breasts. She then slowly rubbed the oil on her breasts, giving them a sensuous massage. Her breasts glistened seductively, and she trailed the oil wetness from her breasts to her belly, and finally, stopped just above her most sacred region!

Ryan still wanted to refuse, but she then gave him the most enchanting offer. She took out a blindfold and covered her eyes with it.

"You can do anything you please!" Vienna's vision was fully blocked. As if to entice him further, she cupped her breasts and licked her pink nipples.

Outside, Kiba swallowed the entire apple in one go.

"No! Kiba, you are here for revenge!" He told himself but then cleared his thoughts, "Revenge is nothing but a sign of hate. One mustn't be blinded by hate!"

His vision was still on the perfect curves of Vienna. He could imagine the softness of her breasts and the warmth of her pussy.

"During the history class, the professor told about the sacrifices of the past heroes. If they could sacrifice their lives for the world's freedom...can't I even sacrifice my hatred for my duty?

"There is a woman waiting to be loved! A man waiting to become a cuckold! But here I am blinded by hatred!

"How can I be so selfish and run away from my responsibility?!

Kiba's eyes flashed with determination. Without any hesitation, he opened his shirt and moved towards the bedroom.

Duty comes first!
