Chapter 106

Lucky 105

Calix decided to go back to the dorm first, why? Because he wasn't stupid enough to believe that Lionel didn't have a copy of the scandal in his room. Except for his phone, his computer has a copy too, Calix believed that. After destroying the copy, Calix would steal his phone and destroy the evidence. 

"People who blackmail always have a second copy, that's a fact."

Calix reached the hallway and stopped at the door seven meters away from his own door. He tried to open the door and surprisingly, the door was not even locked. Calix chuckled at this coincidence. 

He entered the room without a problem and started looking around. First, he poured water into the CPU, then he wiped it to make sure that there was no evidence. Then, he came out of the room without a problem. He didn't know why but he felt like Lionel only have two copies, one from his phone and one from his computer. 

Calix decided to enter his own room to look like he didn't trespass on somebody's property. He took a fast shower and left the dormitory. His real mission was to steal Lionel's phone. 

But then, while he was walking down the street, he found that there was an accident. There was a guy who kept crying because he lost his legs, it was painful, he was screaming at the top of his lungs as if he lost everything. Calix's eyes gradually widened as he recognized the person. 

"Lionel Ichiro…"

Calix paused. He found that a truck hit Lionel and he lost his legs because of that, his pretty face was destroyed. He lost almost everything good about him. 

"Isn't that Lionel, what a poor guy."

"Yeah, I heard he was part of the semifinals in the Regional because of his Term Attribute, it's such a shame that he can't use his power ever again."

Calix heard people talking about Lionel. He tilted his head, as he didn't know what they mean. The people started talking about Lionel's power.

"Apparently, his kicks are so strong that they can destroy concrete walls. I heard his Fuel is related to his feet, but now that he lost his legs…"

[Lionel Ichiro]

[Kick Term Attribute]

[Fuel: He has to walk ten meters every day.]

[Backlash: Unknown because he never fails to refuel.]

Calix was dumbfounded as he further listened. But then again, Lionel was a bad guy so karma was just retaliating. 

But was it really karma?

"Apparently, the driver is missing…"

One of the bystanders said and Calix turned around. He walked in the direction where the girls' dormitory is. He wanted to deny it, but his mind kept telling him the possibility. 

His walking started to get faster until it became full-blown running. He ran so fast, he was worried. He didn't realize it but he was anxious, he had to protect Yuna, his heart was telling him that Yuna needed him right now. 

Three hours just passed after Lionel and Yuna had a confrontation. Calix's breathing was unstable. He passed the convenience store where he bought bento last time. Then, he saw a glimpse of a pink-haired woman who was happily eating, as if she was innocent.

Calix stopped and turned to the convenience store. He was panting as his chest constricted and swelled. He didn't know why but the sight of Yuna happily eating brought a smile to his face. He was relieved. However, he had to make sure, so that he could save her. 

"Yuna."

Calix mumbled as he approached her. Then, Yuna's eyes looked up and her pupils brightened when she saw Calix. 

"Calix!"

It was a different reaction compared to when she talked to Lionel. Yuna felt like she was saved just by one glance at him. This was the sensation that she could never get to anyone except him. Calix was the one who saved her from suffering that she experienced for three years. Her cheeks turned pinkish, Calix was the only one for her. 

"Calix do you want to eat, I can share my food with you if you want to."

Calix chuckled and nodded. Yuna raised her spoon and gave Calix a mouthful of food. Calix swallowed the food without hesitation. 

"U- Um, you can have my drink too."

"Thanks," Calix drank the drink she passed. "By the way, isn't this indirect kiss?"

"What?"

Yuna lost herself for a second, she didn't think about it, her golden eyes set on the spoon and bottle. Then, she immediately put the spoon and bottle in her purse.

"What are you doing?"

"They are treasures!"

"… Okay." He was confused and recalled something. " By the way, I can't find my boxer shorts, perhaps do you have an idea where they are?"

"N- no, I don't know…"

Yuna averted her gaze and she used the fork to eat instead. As for the drink, she bought two drinks for Calix and herself. 

"Yuna, did you know what happened to Lionel?"

Calix decided to go straight to the point. Out of his expectations, Yuna nodded and she honestly told what happened. 

"Yeah, I used the truck to kill him. But he didn't die. Well, I'm satisfied that he lost his legs, together with the most important part of his life."

Her golden eyes were staring straight into his eyes. Her hands slightly trembled, perhaps because of guilt or hatred.

"…"

Calix was silent. Yet, he found one important thing. 

Yuna was not afraid to kill. She was afraid to lose him.

"Well, if he found a powerful healer that can bring back his two legs, everything will turn to normal. Although he has to spend millions of dollars to pay that said healer. And if he tried to threaten me again, I'll make sure that he will die."

Calix was seriously listening. 

"That man threatened me, how dare he do that? After what I gave to him. After he witnessed everything about me. I'm disappointed and hurt, I gave my body to him a lot of times… But, he's still greedy and he didn't respect me, he deserved it. Hah!"

Yuna scoffed, she looked dangerous as her teeth showed because of the wide grin she had. 

"To be honest, I don't care about how the others see me…" Her face contorted.

"But I'm afraid that you will hate me."

Yuna glanced at Calix, she was afraid to see his reaction. She knew her title on the campus, she was the dirtiest girl, the easiest girl, she knew her standing.

However, the young man shook his head. 

"No, I will never hate you."

"…" 

Yuna bit her lip and tears slowly gathered in her eyes. That struck her. How could words make her cry?

"Even if I'm a slut? Even if dozens of men used me like a rag?"

"Never will I hate you. It's all in the past and I can't judge you by that, even if you're a prostitute or the biggest slut on campus, I will never hate you. That's all in the past. Do you know that I'm famous too? I'm known as the easiest guy to bully. What I'm seeing right now is the current Yuna, the girl who is desperate for me… Eh? Yuna, why are you crying?"

"Huh?"

Yuna touched her cheeks and she realized that tears were rolling down. Calix gave his handkerchief and Yuna's tears started pouring like rain in the summer. 

Calix is her hero, indeed. What he said saved her.
