Manipulating the power, he formed it into a bullet, pointing his hand at the window, he fired again. A small flame bullet blasted out of his hands towards the window. It created a small hole while the surrounding of it melted due to the bullet’s hotness.

‘Fire?’ Ziek sat on the front seat and leaned down to check Bing Shi’s situation. When he turned her over, his brows furrowed, he couldn’t feel the texture of her clothes. Instead, there was a smooth surface, alike glass.

Curious, he pulled the glass vase up on the seat to study it further, whilst in midair, it woke up.

“...What...” Bing Shi looked up at the person who was pulling at her body, “Waaaaah!” She started to kick him around, “Don’t touch me! Let go of me! Don’t touch me!”

Ziek let go of her legs and waist. “You fainted, I wanted to bring you to the hospital,” he lied through his teeth.

Bing Shi crawled back towards the other side of the car and started to gag; his touch made her sick from the ends of her hair to the nails on her toes. She pulled down her gas mask and began to retch, “...Ugh...”

.....

Seeing her reaction, before he could get near her, he was pushed out by an invisible force, “... What the...”

“Don’t touch me... Don’t touch me... Don’t touch me...” Bing Shi mumbled in between her hiccups; the blue barrier grew on size as it covered the whole truck like a bubble. She lifted her eyes to look at the man who kept on revealing her secrets then around her surroundings. Her eyes got teary again, “...My poor truck...ugh...” She opened the door and continued to retch.

‘What’s my problem?’

‘He was helping me out!’

“What is this?” Ziek shifted the topic and knocked on the structure, “An invisible barrier?”

“You can’t see the color?” Bing Shi felt fatigued again.

“What color?” Did she just ask about her skill? His smile grew wide, “You went through the trial?”

‘He can’t see the barrier? Did I dig a pit for myself? ?’

“...” Bing Shi wanted to slap her face, “Can you leave me alone?” Before he could protest, she added, “I know you have two superpowers.” She didn’t want to fall asleep before a stranger.

How did she know? Follow or not to follow?

Ziek, didn’t care about his new parents nor his teammates. Learning from his past life, he decided to use everyone to his benefits, and Bing Shi wasn’t an exception. He hopped on the front seat and asked for car keys, he needed to get rid of this evidence, “I want to keep one power as a backup plan, lend me your truck.” He reached his hands out. But the girl, trying to avoid his fist, fell out of the car, “...”

Remembering her repulsed reaction on the platform, it felt like Deja Vu, like he went through such a scene in the past.

“Are you afraid of touching people?” he analyzed the past few days and raised his eyebrows, “What a great weakness to have.”

If he didn’t know, he would’ve thought that she was lying about her relationship the whole time! This girl was using her boyfriend as an excuse for everything! And everyone was buying it!

“Not afraid, I hate it,” Bing Shi crawled up the truck, sitting on the passenger seat, she threw her car keys at him and closed the door, “Are you going to assault me? I can’t promise that I won’t puke on you.”

“...” Ziek caught the keys and started the engine, “I’m the one to say. What the fuck did you do to LuLu Tan’s face?”

He couldn’t even see her eyes; that’s how puffy they were, while her bottom side off nose and face was a bloodied mess.

‘To scare away my assaulters.’

“I wanted to surpass you,” Bing Shi said with half-closed eyes, she lay down on the seats, curling up, she whispered, “Did I do a good job?”

Comparing her face with his, Ziek’s face cracked, “You did.”

“Thank you for the praise,” Bing Shi closed her eyes, after assuring her safety, she fell asleep, “Good night.”

“Your kindness will be a death of you one day.” Ziek looked at the road. What was she hiding under that happy facade? He destroyed her truck, did something that she hated; she didn’t take revenge. Instead, she threw it at the back of her mind and continued to act as nothing happened, that’s not normal at all.

“I know, right? I’m too good for this world,” answered Bing Shi with closed eyes. Too conscious of the surroundings, she couldn’t take a rest near strangers.

Ziek was startled by her response, thinking that she was deep asleep, “I thought you fell asleep.”

“Yeah, I did. But you woke me up. Don’t be sorry. I don’t mind.”n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

“...” For the rest of the ride, Ziek was lost in his thoughts, keeping his silence. Arriving at the destination, he parked the truck before a mansion hidden in the woods.

Felling the car stop, Bing Shi opened her eyes and looked around her surroundings, “Meeting with the parents?”

“Wait here,” Ziek stepped out of the car, opening the gate, he went inside. He didn’t even ask how she knew about this place.

Bing Shi opened the drawer of the truck, grabbing a package of wet tissues she cleaned her gas mask and face.

Ziek walked inside the bedroom, covering the two dead bodies in a white sheet; he carried them to the garden. Placing them inside a hole in the ground, he covered his parents with soil.

When Bing Shi and Ziek were inside a new van, he started the engine and drove back to the base.

“Can you lend me your knife, please?” Bing Shi asked nicely.

“...” Ziek took out a tactical knife from his sheath with his mind and handed it to her.
