Chapter 8: Don't ignore the warning

The nurse's office was quite far from the academy's main building, but Kylian took Stephan there while helping him as a support to walk. Many students were watching both of them cryptically making Kylian ponder what happened between him and Zenith must have already spread like wildfire among the other students. 

But no matter how hard a situation had arisen, Kylian wasn't the kind of guy who would go back on his words. He missed his first-ever class in this academy which he had never done before in his entire academic life, but he was determined to help Stephan first. 

While all the distance, Stephan looked very sick and groggy from those bruises all over him, but he couldn't stop glancing at Kylian whenever the other students gave them a side-eye. When they reached the nurse's office, a pretty middle-aged nurse, supposedly a she-beta rushed towards them and helped Kylian to carry Stephan to the bed. 

"What happened to him? He looks badly beaten up!" The nurse sounded very concerned as she hurriedly started to treat his wounds first. While checking his body, she furrowed her brows as she answered further, "It doesn't seem like his bones are broken but his muscle ligaments must be injured inside…" 

"He was getting bullied by a bunch of jerks who claimed them as the supreme Alpha of this academy…" Kylian informed her as he felt bad to watch Stephan quivering in pain while the nurse was tending to his injuries, "If I hadn't intervened to save him…perhaps they would have beaten him to death!" 

"Supreme Alpha? Do you mean…Zenith did this to him?" With a tinge of concern on her face, the nurse asked Kylian after she injected a potent healing drug into Stephan. 

"Yes! I am talking about that bastard and his bully gang!" Immediately nodding to her, Kylian felt angry while narrating the entire incident to her. He further added, "I had already sent one of his minions to you a while ago, but as I don't happen to see him here now, does that mean his collarbone wasn't broken?" 

Hearing these words, the nurse's face turned a little pale this time when she asked in a hoarse low voice, "Does that mean…you were the one who sent Garrion here a while ago? He cried and claimed about his collarbone being broken by a thug, but it turned out to be a ligament injury too. So, I asked him to go home and take rest for a few days, but…did you do that to him too?" 

"Wait…I am not a thug." With a small cough to clear his throat as the situation turned a bit awkward between them, Kylian narrated to her, "I am a model student who came here after I qualified for the Academy Entrance Exam. I was very keen to look forward to my life here but…it seems like my luck is worse that I happened to encounter those shitty bullies on my first day upon arrival. 

"But…I just couldn't leave this boy on his own…because they looked really evil, especially that silver-haired punk, Zenith! I have managed to teach him a lesson too before bringing Stephan here." 

Upon hearing his narration, the nurse froze in shock for a second before her lips muttered, "T-Then…does that mean…you have hit Zenith Agastya too?" 

"That's right." Feeling his vitals a little stable from the effect of those drugs injected into him, Stephan intervened this time as he answered the nurse on Kylian's behalf, holding an anxious look on his beaten-up face. "You might not believe it, but this boy has perhaps crushed Zenith's manhood member with his kick, so I think…Zenith might come to you soon here as well…" 

"This is unbelievable…" The nurse's face filled with fear this time as she murmured in a confused tone. Averting her gaze down from Kylian, she whispered, "You shouldn't have messed with him on your first day here, boy. It isn't the first time Zenith has bullied someone this badly…so why would you go out of your way and—"

"I don't understand you people." 

Cutting in between her mumble, Kylian scowled at the nurse while pushing his black hair bangs above from his forehead restlessly.

"Within a short time, I have learned that this isn't the first time that bastard has bullied someone this much, but I am even more surprised to see everyone's laid-back reaction here… For a moment, it felt as if some kind of movie was filmed there! All the students were watching someone getting beaten to bleed, but no one tried to stand up for him! But when I did, this foolish punk tried to stop me and even asked me to apologize before that silver-haired jerk!" 

Kylian pointed his finger at Stephan while whining aloud in his irked tone, "Even now I am startled by the way you reacted, Madam! Has everyone in this Academy forgotten the basic ethics that we have learned from childhood? Bullying is a crime…and to torture someone up to the point that they bleed, the abuser should never be spared by such a prestigious authority of this academy! But everyone is lecturing me instead that I shouldn't have butt in…and it's frustrating at this point!" 

When Kylian finished his grunt, the nurse who had bandaged Stephan's wounds by now stood up from her seat and patted Kylian gently on his broad back. Her eyes looked sad but were filled with compassion as she spoke, "I understand your emotions, and I feel like you are a kind boy. But…you know nothing about Zenith's dreadful influence here. His family regulates the authority of this Academy…and as far as I know, he never spares the one who messes with him. 

"Since it's your first day here…I would rather advise that you should better stay away from him and his entire gang, especially Garrion as well. I don't want something bad to happen to you…" Exhaling a heavy sigh, she moved from that spot to fetch some more medicines for Stephan. 

Baffled by her warning, while Kylian stood frozen, Stephan gazed at him in concern as he managed to speak up, "Don't just ignore her warning. That's the reason I was telling you not to interfere there…but…you even beat up Garry as well…" 

"I can understand the nurse's concern for that silver-punk, but what would that red-haired bastard do to me?" Gritting his jaws, Kylian clenched his fist this time while gnawing at Stephan, "I am strong enough to face him head-on!" 

"It's not the matter of strength…" Stephan's voice deepened cryptically when he sighed at him, "Garry is too selfish and ruthless to destroy someone entirely through his family's immense wealth and influence. Last semester a new transfer student tried to mess with him, and…he just issued a lawsuit of defamation against him for 14 billion dollars…" 

"Hah…that bastard and his….Wait…1-14…billion dollars? Y-You must be kidding me right…" When his words hit him hard in his mind, Kylian's jaw dropped in shock from hearing the amount, making the ground slip away beneath his feet for a second.
