'Shit, why didn't I think about that sooner?" Suha cursed to himself as he did what Kye asked him to do. He never thought of the possibility of all of them using a weapon. They were all taking the ability class, not the weapon class. So it never crossed his mind. Not even once.
But after he got the sword in his hand, he swam as fast as he could toward Kye to help him.
Maria and John didn't understand why Suha did as kye asked at the beginning, but once they saw him swimming toward the now blind monster, they decided to do like him.
Kye was already searching for another weak point to exploit and only found one. The ass hole. But his sword wasn't long enough for him to use it. The whale was too big to be bothered by such a little thrust. Even in the ass.
And only God knows how many times he used this weak point when he was fighting against the monsters in VR. Alas, none of them were as big as this whale.
So he went back toward the eyes and tried to pierce them again since it was the only way he could damage the monster. But the latter looked as if it went crazy. It moved in every direction, not staying in a single area for more than a second.
And because of that, Kye couldn't attack it.
"What are you waiting for?" Maria clicked her tongue and asked after they all came to his side.
Kye glared at her before answering with a composed face. "We can't do anything anymore," He even gave his sword back to Suha, thus leaving him weaponless. The real sword that he used to pierce the whale's second eye broke after the latter used ice to aim for what hurt her, that is to say, the two swords.
"What do you mean?" Suha looked at him with curious eyes. Kye had grown up a lot during this fight inside of him. While before he didn't care about him because of how useless he was, now he respected him dearly.
"Just look at her," He pointed his finger at the whale. "She became crazy from the moment she lost her sight. And we don't have enough piercing power to kill her or even bypass her defense. So we might as well leave."
"What? You must be kidding me, right?!" John said with an angry voice to Kye as if he had done something wrong. So he looked at him weirdly, not understanding why he acted like this right now. "You want us to give up after all the hassle we went through? You useless trash! You didn't even do anything."
Hearing what he said, Kye chuckled a bit. He never thought of his teammates being such daring people. "All the hassled 'WE' went through?" Kye slowly went toward John with a few golden hues in his eyes. He was pissed by what John dared to say. And the latter, even though didn't want to back down couldn't help but take a few steps back. "You were the most useless of us all during this fight. You and Maria didn't do anything useful during this fight. Yet you dare say that I was useless? Me who dared to face this giant whale for your sorry asses because you didn't have enough power to escape? Me who pierced her fucking two eyes while taking all the aggro! And yet you dare say I was trash during this fight?" During all this time, Kye kept going toward John and kept pressuring him more and more. So much that if they were on hard ground right now, John would have fallen on his butt.
Kye then looked at Maria too with deadly-cold eyes, sending a shiver down her spine. She didn't even notice that his eyes turned completely yellow for a moment. Though, she felt the pressure he was sending on them just by talking. 'W-why am I scared of him?' Maria thought after collecting herself. 'He's just a fucking level 1 trash.'
Suha looked at everything by the side, kind of happy that Kye put them both where they belonged to. As he said, they almost didn't do anything during this fight. He neither actually. But he at least helped Kye to his best piercing the whale's eyes by coating his sword or making him a new one.
Last but not least, Kye turned toward Suha. But instead of feeling a shiver down his spine, he felt a comfortable feeling inside of him. Something calming and soothing. "Thanks, Suha. Even though you still look down on me, you never ceased to help me, and I'm happy to have at least someone like you with me in this team," He even extended his hand, which Suha shook happily.
"Thank you, I guess," He looked at him directly in the eyes, with his lips curving a little into a smile.
"Anyway, what do we do now, leader?" Kye asked while John and Maria slowly went back to themselves. They were still shocked by how Kye could be intimidating, but instead of fearing him, their resolve of wanting to kill him only increased.
'He will pay for his attitude,' Both of them thought while being ready to listen to Suha.

"No thanks."
"Why?"
"I have my reasons," It wasn't that he didn't want to fight monsters. On the contrary, he wanted to kill some and level up. But he felt something inside him telling him not to. He didn't know what it was, but he decided to believe in this little voice. He didn't want to die or be in an unfortunate predicament.
"Well, sure," Suha smiled and began to swim away. The whale could still be seen in the distance, but it was just a harmless opponent from now on. A harmless yet deadly if she were to land a hit on even one of them.
And so they began to fight, rest, fight, rest, and repeat this. After two days, they had killed so many monsters that the bag they used for keeping the monsters' orbs safe was almost full. On the last day of their exam, they decided to return to the city while killing the monsters that were unfortunate enough to meet their path.
Kye didn't manage to kill any monster during the rest of the exam. And he was quite sad about that. The thing he felt a few days ago made him worry for nothing since, for two days, nothing big happened.
There was only John and Maria who were still hostile to him, but other than that, he didn't see nor felt anything. His relationship with Suha also increased a lot. The latter seemed a lot kinder to him. Though, Kye only put this reaction to his energy that was corrupting people's view toward him. So even though he was acting friendly with Suha, it was the bare minimum. He didn't want to be friends with someone who was looking down on him at the beginning. Especially if he can't face him.
Suha had proven that he wasn't a level 6 for nothing. He could make as many constructs as he wanted as long as he had the necessary energy for it. He could also use the form he wanted for his construct. His only problem was his imagination since he was thinking quite straight. But after recalling the things the whale used, he began to be more creative. Though, it was still like baby steps since he mostly used hard-construct in the form of spikes.
That was also why they harvested so many orbs. Suha only had to aim a few spikes at the brain to instantly kill the monsters. And since their skin wasn't sturdy enough to defend themselves, monsters mostly died without even knowing what had happened or how they died. Only when there were too many monsters did Maria and John help. But since it was rare, they didn't do much.
Making them curse that they didn't get any new opportunity to avenge Azul by killing Kye. The whale incident was the perfect opportunity for them to kill Kye. Yet they didn't take that into account since they were thinking more about their survival than anything else. But if by miracle such an opportunity was to present itself to their feet again, they wouldn't hesitate to throw Kye in the mouth of a monster.
