Chapter 28: The Aftermath

I went out of the Infinity Rooot out, I immediately used my ability to numb the pain but soon realized that I couldn't because of the titan Acade their abilities inside of school

I shook my head in frustration Anyway, I can still bare it I can just go down to the training room and treat my fractures and wounds We already learned about this just yesterday

I can fix this fucking thing I can handle this alone I was staggering along the hallway so it's good that this place was usually deserted They can't see me like this

I got out from the east chamber and shortly walked back to the hallhere I saw Gin earlier then I bumped into so my arm to his body

”Hey”

I froze when I realized who it was I lightly stepped back away froaze

”Captain”

I struggled totogether non-stop due to the pain

Gin frowned He looked at the hallhere I came from I just realized why Gin had that reaction when I said I was going there earlier The rooms in that hallway are hells on earth

”I have to go, Captain”

I tried hard to keep a straight face and walked as nor me His frowned deepened when he looked down at aze and saw that it's now bleeding shi+t

”Wait”

I froze at his tone I knew that kind of cold and co voice so well

”What happened to your arm?”

He was staring atthat he already knew the answer but still wanted to hear it fro

”It's nothing, Captain”

I looked at hiht in the eyes and for afor me to say the truth and I, who kept onto my lie

The staring contest only came to a halt e heard noises Footsteps fro frohter and voices as if telling sohtened when I realized these familiar voices

da here?

Gin becaaze and saw his knuckles forrasp of what really happened

”Gin,” I warned

I don't care if the for and I can't let that happen The noise came nearer and sounded like they're soon about to coradually became clearer

”She's daring as fuck If only Beatrice didn't get scared; we could have crippled her”

”No wonder she tried to defend the old man in town so much”

I grabbed Gin's ar any actions I winced painfully because of the sudden movement

Gin's aura is so scary But I aets into trouble again

”Gin, calm down”

He paused and looked to ive way froto spread

”Go to thehow he sounded so tranquil and threatening at the same time He started to walk away from me

”Gin, what the fuck are you doing?”

I struggled to follow hih I hurriedly blocked myself before hiers but I ignored it

”You can't hurt theroup already has too , the er”

Gin narrowed his eyes at me I can't help but be overwhelmed and intimidated by his stare

”I said go”

I stood round firmly ”No”

”Go before I drag you” he ordered

I raised et this, Gin”

He ran his fingers through his raven black hair in frustration

”Why are you so stubborn? Can't you see yourself now? You can barely stand on your own feet You think I can just let soet the hell out without a fucking scratch?”

”Then don't treat me as a member!” I shouted ”I'ive a damn”

He froze He looked athe didn't like A moment later, I suddenly fell on the floor— I held to the nearest wall as sudden searing pain shot through my whole body I arduously closed my eyes due to the extreme pain

I heard Gin cursed while quickly approaching me I shove his hand and forced myself to stand alone

”I'm fine”

”fuck it”

I was so surprised when he pulled rip on my hands It looks like he can't stand me anymore

”Why are you always like this?” he asked in irritation as we started to walk Gin was al Pain was flooding

”Gin, letThe way he's pullinghard to keep up with his pace

“I already said go before I drag you,” he replied seriously “You made your choice”

I winced painfully while alking Gin's patience was not one to be tested I had proven that many times Still, this was better; instead of his plan to retaliate those who hurt me

I bit my lips and endured the pain in, it’s te that can be controlled

We were passing in the hallhere the classrooms hen students flooded out from their classes exactly at that time Their eyes widened when they saw Gin and I but they still quickly stepped aside and let us pass Many of the afraid when they saw Gin's face while others regarded reat surprise

This is what I freaking hate; for them to see me in this state, this weak If I hadn't met Gin the case wouldn't be like this damn it

Gin suddenly stopped in the middle of the hallway I almost crashed to his back I heard another voice in front of hi with someone Then, I saw a familiar face peeked over with bewilderment plastered on his face

Ethan

”Hey, what are you guys doing—” he halted when he noticed my condition ”What happened?”
