The chapter starts right at the moment when **Shun is shocked** upon seeing the dead bodies on the ground, and he spots **Kyle standing right there**.
He says nervously, "Did you do this, Kyle? Huh? Tell me!"
Saying this, he moves toward Kyle and grabs him by the collar.
Kyle's face was completely covered in blood as he said, trembling,
**"Please forgive me… I didn't want to do this."**
In anger, Shun snapped,
**"Then what *did* you want to do, huh? Everyone's always scared of you!"**
He let go of Kyle and shouted,
**"Why is no one telling me what's going on?! What the hell is happening?!"**
Just then, hearing the commotion, **Rin and her friend arrive** at the scene.
Rin quickly walks over to Shun and asks,
**"Shun, what are you doing? Why are you shouting like this?"**
Shun, still furious, replies,
**"Can't you see what Kyle has done here?!"**
Rin turns to look at Kyle — and freezes in fear.
**"K–Kyle… what is all this?"** she asks, her voice trembling.
She steps closer to him and demands,
**"Huh? Tell me… please."**
**"Don't ask me... I don't have the answers,"** Kyle says quietly.
Saying that, he turns and walks away from the scene.
Just then, **Rin's friend, Lee,** arrives and says to her,
**"Where should we dump these bodies?"**
After that, **Shun also walks away** and heads to his room.
Some time later, **Rin enters** and sees Shun sleeping.
She gently wakes him up and says,
**"You made a fuss for no reason, Shun. The people here already know very well *why* Kyle killed them."**
Curious, Shun looks at her and asks,
**"And what is that reason, Rin? What is it that everyone's hiding from me?"**
Rin refuses to answer and starts walking away.
As she gets up to leave, Shun, in a playful tone, says,
**"Then maybe I should go and tell Kyle that *someone* (coughs) has started to like him… right, Rin?"**
**Rin blushes slightly** and says,
**"W–Who told you that?"**
Shun smirks and replies,
**"I know, Rin. I've seen you… more than once."**
Then he adds,
**"And if you don't tell me, it won't take me long to tell Kyle about it."**
Hearing this, Rin panics and quickly says,
**"Please, please, *please* don't tell him! I'll tell you… I'll tell you why people are afraid of Kyle and what they know about him."**
**"But first, promise me… you won't get angry."**
Shun nods and says,
**"Alright. I won't."**
**"Alright then,"** Rin says softly,
**"Let me tell you the story… the story of a boy named Kyle Orion."**
Shun stays silent, his eyes fixed on her, ready to listen.
Rin begins to narrate, her voice calm and steady:
**"It all started back in 2047… when Kyle Orion's parents left him at this very academy. He was only 7 years old."**
**"At first, he was completely silent — barely spoke to anyone. Not that it mattered much to the people here… no one really cared about him."**
**"Then, a year later, when he turned 8… I got admitted into the academy. I was Rin Okinawa — and yes, I was the only one he truly talked to."**
**"He shared everything with me… all his feelings, fears, and memories. I was the only one he opened up to."**
Rin continues her story, her voice dipped in nostalgia:
**"After some time, both of us got selected into the academy's force. We were trained hard — really hard."**
**"After every intense training session, Kyle and I would sit on the academy rooftop at night and just talk."**
**"Time kept passing… and I didn't even realize when Kyle stopped being *just* a friend to me."**
Shun cuts in with a teasing grin,
**"Ohhh… now I get it — *that's* when the love story began!"**
Rin blushes slightly and replies,
**"Stop focusing on that part and listen to what happened next."**
Shun chuckles and nods, listening carefully.
Rin continues:
**"Later on, I was transferred to the academy's medical division, while Kyle stayed in the combat force. I was genuinely happy for him when he got promoted..."**
Rin's expression turns serious as she continues the story, her voice softer now:
**"When we turned 10, things suddenly started to change. One night, it felt like everything was floating in the air… because that was the moment the *Celestial Shift* happened."**
**"Everything around us began to fall apart. People… so many people started dying. But somehow, Kyle and I survived. We witnessed that horrifying scene with our own eyes."**
She pauses, takes a deep breath.
**"Huff… anyway, moving on."**
**"The next year, Kyle was selected for a mission. Not just any mission… an *S-Rank* mission."**
**"The moment I heard that, I got scared — really scared. But then I reminded myself… he's *my* Kyle. He can handle anything."**
**"That day was August 16th."**
**"Kyle was training harder than ever. Practicing with guns, perfecting hand-to-hand combat… he was excited, happy even, because this was his first S-Rank mission."**
Rin's tone grows heavier, her voice laced with emotion as she continues:
**"Before he left, I went to Kyle… and said, 'Please, if possible… come back alive. I have something important to tell you… someday.'"**
**"Kyle smiled and said, 'Don't worry. I'll come back alive.'"**
**"A few hours later, he and his team left for the mission."**
She pauses, her expression darkening.
**"But what we didn't know… was that the academy's head and several top officials were involved in drugs and weapons smuggling. They were making crores through it."**
Shun, shocked, blurts out,
**"What?! They were smuggling? Oh my god!"**
Rin nods grimly.
**"Kyle was a threat in their path — a thorn they wanted to remove. They knew that if Kyle ever found out the truth… he wouldn't hesitate to kill them all."**
**"That's why…"** Rin continues, her voice trembling slightly,
**"The academy's head secretly sent his own men on that mission — not to help Kyle… but to kill him."**
**"Neither Kyle nor I had any idea about it at the time."**
Rin lowers her gaze, her voice now filled with pain:
**"For two whole days, we didn't receive *any* report about Kyle or his team. I started getting nervous… scared that maybe Kyle…"**
She pauses.
**"Forget it..."**
**"Then one day, Kyle's uncle — Robert — suddenly came to the academy and told us… that villains had killed Kyle and all his teammates."**
Her eyes glisten with the memory.
**"When I heard that… I broke down."**
**"I cried and cried… and slowly, I began to fall into depression."**
Rin wipes the corner of her eye and says softly:
**"I kept thinking… I never even got the chance to tell Kyle how much I liked him. That I—"**
She trails off, her voice choked.
Just then, **Shun**, still listening closely, gently asks,
**"And then? What happened next?"**
Rin takes a deep breath and continues, her voice shaking slightly:
**"A few more days passed… and then one night, the guards found a body lying near the academy. It was completely covered in blood, clothes torn… unrecognizable at first glance."**
**"The next day, that body was brought into the medical room — where I and my friend were assigned to examine it."**
**"As I slowly began cleaning the blood off the face..."**
Shun interrupts, eyes wide,
**"Who was it?!"**
Rin looks at him and says in a quiet voice:
**"Kyle."**
Shun's eyes widen in disbelief as he stammers,
**"W–What… what are you saying?!"**
**"You mean… *that's* how you all found him?"**
Rin nods slowly and says,
**"Listen… let me explain the rest."**
**"After seeing him like that, my friend and I were completely confused. We couldn't understand how he ended up there in that condition."**
**"So I decided to report it to the higher ranks."**
**"But the moment I told them…"**
**"They panicked. Completely. They didn't know what to say… or how to react."**
Rin continues, her voice low but intense:
**"I started wondering… why were they so scared? What were they hiding?"**
**"But then I brushed it off… I went to the cafeteria and sat alone, thinking."**
**"Was that really Kyle? Or just someone who looked like him?"**
**"Because Kyle's uncle had clearly said… he was dead. Then how…?"**
She looks at Shun and adds,
**"But one question just wouldn't leave my mind — *why were the higher-ups so panicked?*"**
**"So… I decided to find out."**
**"I started spying on them."**
**"And that's when I discovered the truth — they were involved in drugs and weapons smuggling."**
**"The moment I realized it, I ran. I had to get out of there and tell someone… but while running, my foot hit something — and made a loud noise."**
**"That's when they realized… someone was watching."**
Rin's voice trembles as she recounts the moment:
**"I tried to run… as fast as I could."**
**"But I tripped and fell hard to the ground."**
**"Before I could get up… two of their men came rushing in and grabbed me."**
**"I struggled, but they held me tightly… I was caught."**
Rin's eyes darken as she continues, the memory vivid in her mind:
**"They locked me inside a container… completely sealed, no way out."**
Shun clenches his fists and asks sharply,
**"Are those kinds of people… *still* in the academy?"**
Rin shakes her head.
**"No. Not anymore."**
She takes a deep breath and resumes the story:
**"Two days later… the boy who looked like Kyle finally regained consciousness."**
**"Still weak, he quietly slipped out of the medical room… and started searching for me everywhere."**
**"But he couldn't find me."**
**"So he went to my friend and asked her where I was. But she was stubborn… she told him flatly, 'I won't tell you. Besides, I don't even know who you are.'"**
**"Kyle was confused. *Why aren't they recognizing me?* he kept wondering."**
**"He started asking others, one by one… but everyone just stared at him in shock and fear."**
**"Finally, he approached an old man — someone who had been in the academy a long time — and asked, *Why is everyone so afraid of me?*"**
**"And that man told him the truth: 'Because everyone here was told… that you're dead.'"**
Rin speaks softly now, her voice laced with tension:
**"Kyle was completely shocked when he heard that… that everyone thought he was dead."**
**"He looked at the old man and immediately asked, *'Then where's Rin? Tell me where she is!'*"**
The old man sighed and replied,
**"She's… exactly where the academy head is."**
Kyle narrowed his eyes, confused and tense.
**"How do you know that?"** he asked.
The old man looked at him gravely and said,
**"Son… Rin found out that the academy head was involved in smuggling guns and drugs. So they captured her."**
Rin's voice turns cold as she narrates the moment:
**"Kyle's eyes flared with anger. He grabbed the old man by the collar and shouted,**
**'How do *you* know all this? Huh?!'"**
The old man didn't resist. He looked tired… defeated.
**"Son… not just me. *Everyone* in this academy knows where Rin is. Because…"**
**"Every single member here is involved in the smuggling."**
**"I'm old now… I've seen too much. Maybe it's time I just disappear."**
Kyle's fists clenched tighter.
**"How many?"** he asked, his voice low and deadly.
**"How many of them are in on this?"**
Rin's voice drops to a whisper, the weight of the memory clear in her tone:
**"The old man looked into Kyle's eyes and said quietly…"**
**'All of them. Every last one.'**
**The moment those words left his mouth… Kyle's face turned cold. Expressionless.**
Without saying a word, **he reached forward—**
—and **snapped the old man's neck** in one swift, merciless motion.
**"That was the moment..."** Rin says, her voice almost trembling,
**"…when Kyle Orion stopped holding back."**
Shun's eyes widen in horror as he stammers,
**"W–Wait… Kyle killed the *same man* who told him where you were?!"**
Rin nods slowly, her tone steady but cold.
**"Yes. He did."**
Then she looks directly at Shun and says calmly,
**"But there's no need to be scared, Shun…"**
**"…because that was just the beginning."**
**"There are *many* more kills yet to come."**
Rin resumes her narration, her voice turning tense once again:
**"After that… Kyle quietly walked back to his room."**
**"But the moment he entered, he found a letter placed on his table."**
**"He opened it cautiously — and inside, written in rough, hurried handwriting, were the words…"**
---
**'Kyle Orion,**
**I know *you're* the one reading this.**
**So listen carefully — Rin is with us.**
**If you want to save her, come to the academy's fighting garden at 1 AM tonight.**
**If not… then consider Rin already gone.'**
---
**"Kyle clenched the letter in his hand,"** Rin says, her voice lowering,
**"And that was the moment… everything inside him snapped."**
Rin's voice grows darker, steady and grim:
**"After reading the letter… Kyle didn't panic."**
**"He walked to the back of his room, opened a hidden panel in the floor — a secret bunker no one else knew about."**
**"From inside, he pulled out a sword… not just any sword — his favorite one, the same sword his father had gifted him."**
**"He also took a gun… loaded, ready."**
**"That night… something inside Kyle changed completely."**
**"He had only one thought left in his mind — *to kill them all.*"**
Rin leans forward slightly, her voice filled with tension:
**"Just as Kyle was about to step out of his room… he heard voices outside."**
**"Two academy members were standing near his door, talking casually."**
**One of them said,**
**'The academy head said he'll give us our cut too… the smuggling money's coming in tomorrow.'**
**"The other laughed and replied,**
**'He better. We risked a lot covering up that girl's location. If Kyle finds out, we're dead.'"**
**"Kyle stood silently behind the door… listening."**
**"And with every word they spoke, the grip on his sword tightened."**
After hearing this, Kyle stabs the sword into both of them and finishes them off.
Due to their death, their blood gets spread on every wall.
Rin's voice drops to a chilling calmness, the weight of what she says hanging heavy in the air:
**"After that… Kyle didn't stop."**
**"He moved room by room — quietly, methodically."**
**"He would step in, look each person in the eye, and ask just one question…"**
**'Did you know about this?'**
**"If they said *no* and their fear looked genuine — he'd leave them."**
**"But if they hesitated… if even a flicker of guilt crossed their face…"**
**"He didn't wait for a second answer."**
**"One by one, Kyle Orion began cleansing the academy — not with justice…"**
**"…but with silent, merciless fury."**
Shun, pointing nervously toward the gate, asks with a dry throat,
**"Is… is *that* what he is now?"**
Rin glances in the same direction, her eyes clouded with emotion.
She replies softly, almost like she's questioning herself too:
**"I still don't know…"**
**"…whether he's truly *Kyle Orion* anymore… or just someone who used to be."**
Rin's voice grows heavier, tinged with sorrow:
**"After that… Kyle went to my old friend — the same one who refused to tell him where I was."**
**"But this time… he didn't even ask her anything."**
**"He just looked at her… and ended it."**
**"Because he already knew — she would never give him a straight answer."**
**"To him, silence was guilt."**
**"And in that moment, Kyle wasn't looking for explanations…"**
**"…he was delivering judgment."**
Shun asks out of curiosity if she looked good i.e. hot
Rin rolls her eyes slightly and replies with a flat expression:
**"Seriously, Shun? *That's* what you're curious about right now?"**
She sighs, then says reluctantly,
**"Fine… yes. She was considered attractive. But trust me — looks didn't matter to Kyle in that moment."**
**"He wasn't seeing faces… just betrayal."**
Rin's voice turns hauntingly quiet, almost like she's reliving the nightmare:
**"It must've taken Kyle around 30 minutes…"**
**"Just 30 minutes to erase every single member of the academy from reality."**
**"Room by room… hallway by hallway… without rest, without hesitation."**
**"No alarms were raised."**
**"No one escaped."**
**"Because no one even *understood* what was happening until it was already over."**
**"Kyle Orion had become a storm — and the academy… was his silence."**
Rin's eyes darken as she delivers the final image, her voice barely above a whisper:
**"The entire place was soaked in blood…"**
**"…walls, floors, even the ceilings in some rooms."**
**"It was like the academy itself was crying crimson."**
**"And then… silence."**
**"Not a single voice. Not a single footstep."**
**"Only the sound of dripping blood echoing through empty halls."**
**"Kyle had turned the academy into a graveyard."**
Rin's voice turns cold and eerily calm:
**"Kyle killed everyone so silently… so methodically… that the academy head and the top drug dealers didn't even hear a sound."**
**"There were no screams. No alarms. No footsteps."**
**"Just death… creeping like a shadow."**
**"By the time they realized something was wrong…"**
**"…they were the only ones left alive in a building full of corpses."**
Rin's eyes narrow slightly as she continues, her voice barely louder than a whisper:
**"And then… it was 1 AM."**
**"The exact time mentioned in the letter."**
**"The academy grounds were silent… the moon hung cold in the sky… and Kyle — drenched in blood, sword in one hand, gun in the other — stepped into the fighting garden."**
**"The final act was about to begin."**
Shun suddenly leans forward, eyes wide with anticipation, and says with a grin,
**"Now *this* is gonna be fun…"**
**"Ab aayega maza!"**
Rin gives him a sideways glance, unimpressed.
**"Shun… he literally just slaughtered half the academy."**
Shun shrugs, still caught up in the intensity of the moment.
**"Haan, but come on… this is Kyle. You *know* something insane is about to go down."**
Rin sighs but can't help the faint smile tugging at her lips.
**"Yeah… insane doesn't even begin to cover it."**
Rin's voice sharpens with tension as she recounts the moment:
**"And then… he appeared."**
**"Jared — the academy head. The one behind everything."**
**"He stepped into the fighting garden, standing tall… confident… but with a hint of rage in his eyes."**
He pointed straight at Kyle and shouted,
**"Kyle Orion! Tonight, either *you* survive… or *I* do!"**
**"You've ruined my plans too many times!"**
**"And without waiting another second, he charged straight at Kyle — his aura bursting with power."**
**"It was no longer a battle of academy ranks…"**
**"…it was war."**
Rin's tone turns intense, her words painting the fierce scene vividly:
**"Kyle didn't flinch."**
**"The moment Jared charged, he threw aside both his sword and gun —"**
**"— and met him head-on, with nothing but his fists."**
**"The fight that followed… wasn't ordinary."**
**"Both of them were insanely skilled — their punches, blocks, and footwork were brutal and precise."**
**"But slowly… little by little…"**
**"…Jared started gaining the upper hand."**
**"After all, he wasn't just some corrupt official — he was the *head of the academy*, trained for decades, a warrior built from power and manipulation."**
**"And in that moment, Kyle realized…"**
**"…he'd have to go beyond his limits if he wanted to end this."**
After fighting for some time, Kyle starts to lose.
But then, suddenly — something unexpected happens.
As Kyle throws a punch, instead of just his fist landing…
**a powerful electric blast shoots out** from his hand,
and **Jared is sent flying far away**, crashing into the distance.
Rin's voice tightens with rising intensity, her hands slightly clenched as she speaks:
**"Jared started to panic — you could *see* it."**
**"His stance broke for a second, his eyes darted… but still, he fought back."**
**"He wasn't going to run — not yet."**
**"But this time… Kyle wasn't just fighting."**
**"He was *unleashing*."**
**"Every punch Kyle threw sparked with lightning."**
**"Every kick echoed with thunder."**
**"It was like his entire body had become a weapon of raw energy."**
**"And Jared… he tried to block, tried to counter — but each strike blasted through his defense like it was nothing."**
**"It looked like he'd be finished with *every single attack*."**
**"And still… Kyle didn't stop."**
**"He didn't show mercy. Not this time."**
END
