Chapter 103 Reunion
"Mhm, excuse me," Sylvia stopped an average-looking girl. An extra in the story. "Do you perhaps know what happened and why does the staff running back and forth?"
The girl immediately knew who they were, so she answered in a hurry before running away.
"Is she serious?" Lidi was the first to react, snapping everyone from their daze. "There's only one person who disappeared and was left dead!" Tears of joy slowly dripped from her eyes.
"Does that mean that Kye came back... alive?" Enzo asked his friends as everyone turned toward him.
They then all nodded their heads and went toward where the guards were running.
However, they were soon blocked by a crowd of students.
"Why are there so many students on a Sunday?"
Yugo and Ven said out loud and clicked their tongue at the same time. Though it wasn't as if they could go past the students with ease, so they just stood at the very back of the crowd.
Still, they could hear what they were talking about, and it only confirmed their guess that the person that came back was their long-lost friend. Kye.
The group even saw some of the professors. Madison and Azul were the most noticeable. And while the former had a small smile on her face, the latter had a distorted face.
Both of them knew that there was only one student who disappeared, Kye Vermillion. And Madison couldn't help but feel grateful for the miracle that left him alive. As for Azul, he couldn't help but curse it. If Kye were to say that it was his fault, even if he wouldn't be credible to the adults, he could still get sanctioned by the military. But what made him fear the most was the wrath of the Viso family.
He could face severe consequences even if what Kye said was false. And that was only because he would have tarnished the reputation of the Viso family.
So he hoped from the bottom of his heart that the person who came back wasn't Kye.
However, hopes were just wishful dreams.
So once he saw Kye, his heart sank to his stomach.
"Kye, is that you?" Madison asked as she rushed toward him in a hurry.
"Ah, long time no see, professor."
Kye waved his hand with a smile.
Seeing Kye who changed so much, Madison got a hard time believing that it was him. But the staff's thorough inspection forced her to believe that it was him. They had the same fingerprint and DNA, so it was enough of proof to believe that it was Kye.
"How?" Madison couldn't help but ask. "How are you still alive? I searched for you a lot, and even the others searched for your whereabouts, but we couldn't find you. Not even a single trace of you was found. So how?"
Madison bombarded him with questions that all the people present have on their minds. There were other professors since the coming of a lost student was an important matter, but also students who couldn't help but stare at Kye blankly. His otherwordly look stopped their thought process. Even male students stood there in a daze.
"I guess I just got lucky."
Kye didn't say more than that. He didn't prepare any lie. Not that he wanted to say anything about the matter. He didn't know who he could trust anymore, so he didn't want to give any information.
And there wasn't any need to say that he managed to survive even after a hole was made in his body by the whale since it wasn't something possible. No one could have treated his wounds. And such a big hole wasn't something treatable in the first place.
At least those who didn't possess a strong enough healing ability.
After some more questions, Kye was finally left alone, at least by the professors. There was still a crowd of students in front of him that stood in a daze.
And looking at them, he was a little intimidated. There were so many people that he gulped down. But after strengthening his resolve, he began to walk forward.
And as if Moses was parting the sea in two, the students left Kye to walk past them. Everyone except a group of high-level students.
However, this group wasn't here to search for problems with him. And Kye knew them very well. They were his friends.
Yugo, Ven, Lidi, Enzo, and Sylvia looked at him without saying anything.
They were so shocked to see their dead friend that it was as if their brain was short-circuited.
"Hum, hey guys, it's been a while."
Kye smiled timidly and waved his hand. He was a few meters away from them.
But the moment they heard his now a little bit more mature voice, they all snapped back, and the girls were the first to act.
Lidi and Sylvia couldn't help but cry and rush toward Kye to hug him.
Kye was taken aback and almost fell, but he managed to stabilize himself and hug them back.
"Is it really you? Kye? You're still alive?"
"Yeah, it's been a while."
Kye answered with a gentle voice and let the girls cry to their heart's content.
While before Kye was smaller than both of the girls, it wasn't the case anymore. He was far taller than before, being almost the same height as the other boys in their friend groups.
Kye then look up and saw the boys walking slowly toward him. They also have their doubt about this cute man's identity, but the closer they got to him, the more their suspicion went away.
"Kye?"
A single word came out of Ven's mouth.
"Yeah, it's me."
He smiled.
"Is it really you?" Enzo added
"Yep, your cute Lil bro, hehe."
He chuckled a little. But what happened next shocked him greatly as well.
The three boys rushed toward him and hugged him as well. However, two people were okay, but five was too much. So after a few seconds, he fell to the ground, followed by all of his friends.
"I'm so glad you're alive, Kye!" Yugo said while tears of happiness flowed from his eyes.
