Chapter 6 - Inside The World

Xi was discharged out of the hospital and went back home a few weeks later. Xi removed the white dye in his hair, and there was only black hair, because it just made him feel bad. He looked outside and just saw the buildings with advertisements. For Xi, there were few advertisements, but for everyone, it looked like Time's Square. He got out to see what's going on, because he was bored. He walked to the city to see what fun they have. He came across an abandoned library, which got him interested. He walked in and got to the classics aisle to get a novel. He saw the novel 'Gone with the Wind' by Margaret Mitchell. 'It looks interesting.', he thought. He took it to his dorm and turned on the radio. He played the classical music channel and lied on his bed, opening page one. Just then, the intercom said, "Tian Xi, got to the classroom for the meeting immediately.". Xi walked to the classroom wearing a black shirt and black trousers. Everyone looked at him with his new look, especially his hair in his natural color. He apologized for being late and took his seat next to Jun-lee. "It has come to report that an Alpha has been using hymns to sing songs for humans as bait to kill them. It is said to be in tier S+, and it is one of the eight bodyguards of Judas. We lose our men while fighting and we need to come up with ideas.", the director said. She walked to Xi, and they gave a long stare. "I have a plan.", Xi said, breaking the silence. The director asked what it is, but Xi said nothing. They looked at each other, and the director knew that there is nothing she can do. She told Jun-lee to make space and when he did, she sat next to Xi. Xi wasn't surprised and instead sent her a file. Jun-lee looked at him and could see him just relaxed. The main head began speaking and the director just sat next to Xi, grabbing his arm. Jun-lee looked at Xi and could see Xi just looking at the main head, not getting an erection. The director passed a note to Jun-lee saying, 'When this meeting is over, let's speak.'. Jun-lee looked at her, and then just nod. The main head said, "Everyone who is A or B tier will be going to the mission.". Jun-lee looked at Xi to stop him, but he agreed for no reason. Jun-lee thought maybe he feels suicidal, but this is Xi, the man who always protect people than himself. He smiled looking at Jun-lee, "I should be considerate of the people around me. I mean, would you rather mourn over one person or mourn of not saving the world. When this whole thing is over, I'll mourn in peace. So, I should move on for now.". Jun-lee looked at Xi with the mixed emotion of being worried and being proud that he has matured. When the meeting was over, the director and Xi went outside to talk. "What's wrong?", Jun-lee asked. "He lost a girl he cared about, because I noticed that he never got hard by the touch of my breast. This guy is depressed at this and we didn't even know.", the director replied. It was obvious, because he hasn't communicated to women at all. He saw that he should lighten up Xi at least. Jun-lee was walking and came across a conversation between Xi and Sergeant Langit. "Xi, we should send you to Europe, because you can be the best you ever had.", Langit said. Jun-lee was shocked and thought he was going to take it. "Is Jun-lee coming with me?", Xi asked. "Jun-lee is your distraction. Leaving him would make you stronger. You will become powerful and mighty.", Langit said.

Xi looked at him, "Then I decline. Jun-lee is not a distraction; he is my light. He always looks up on me, even if there isn't danger. He has always been good to me. He showed me that power is only for idiots. He showed me that doing the right thing can change people. No one ever protected me and I'm not going to let people suffer, because of that. So, if you have something important to say, please make it worth my time.". Jun-lee had never seen Xi so matured and actually began seeing that even though there are problems of Xi, he also saw that he has a good heart.
