Chapter 227 227- Origin Basics (Part 3)

Even Kai found himself instinctively listening to her even though he could\'ve ignored the lesson as a whole. 

As for what Kaya explained, she simply dived more into details, talking about each class and how it worked in great detail. She also picked a few random Ascenders and helped them use their powers with more efficiency than before so that everyone else could see how it worked.

She surprisingly didn\'t choose Kai amongst the examples even though Kai knew that her playful nature would\'ve told her to do it. Perhaps she thought that could be risky for the plan. Kai was grateful for that since Kaya and Eva saw how crucial it was for their future. There was no time to joke around when they were working.

After the end of the class, the group had a one-hour break before the next class which was a practical one. All the students moved to the restaurant as they chatted and discussed the class. Well, it was mostly about Kaya and how beautiful she was but they still talked about the lesson itself aside from that.

However, Kai didn\'t follow Aria to the restaurant as he stayed behind to talk to Kaya in private. 

"Did they tell you to take this class or was it an idea of yours?" He asked as he approached Kaya\'s desk.

"Fufufu, it was mostly my idea but they were intending to give me a class that I can teach anyway. I just suggested this class since I knew that you were going to end up in it."

"Is that so?" 

"I\'m sorry for not telling you but I didn\'t want to risk it. You want to stay completely inconspicuous, no?" Kaya approached Kai as she gave him an intimate hug.

"You don\'t need to apologize. It was a good idea that you didn\'t tell me." He said as he hugged her back.

"Fufufu, so I did a good job?"

"... Yes."

"Then, give me a kiss." She said with a mischievous smile as she cupped Kai\'s face. The latter gave her a squint for a few seconds.

"What? I\'m being serious. Or am I not worth a ki-" Before Kaya could even finish her words, Kai closed the distance between them, connecting their lips.

His kiss was gentle yet also impactful, sending a shiver down Kaya\'s whole body. This was the first time Kai kissed her out of his own accord and it felt so amazingly good that it took her a few seconds to even register what happened.

Then, he body naturally relaxed as she closed her eyes and allowed Kai to kiss her passionately. He didn\'t make it a long kiss and neither did he turn it into a French kiss since they were still in enemy territory.

After a few moments, he pulled away and looked at Kaya from up close.

"Are you satisfied now?" He asked in a whisper.

"Yes…" Kaya replied in an almost dazed state. She felt as if she was flying on cloud nine. 

Seeing how she was still irresponsive, Kai snapped his finger next to her ear, waking her up.

"You\'re almost drooling." He said as he wiped her mouth with his thumb before he pulled out a handkerchief and wiped her mouth with it.

"H-Hey, I\'m not a kid, I can do it myself." She said with an embarrassed tone.

"Don\'t move your head." Kai, ignoring all of her tantrums, grabbed her chin gently yet sternly and continued wiping her mouth. After that, he nodded his head with satisfaction before he turned around to leave.

"Just call me if you find anything suspicious. Ok?" 

"Yeah, I will." 

Exiting the class, Kai left Kaya alone in the empty classroom. Her face was still flushed red from what happened and her eyes sparkled with countless emotions. Her fingers slowly moved up to her mouth and touched it, reminiscing about the sensation of Kai\'s lips on hers. It felt way better than the time when she kissed him herself.

Something about Kai\'s willingness to do it felt way too good, too addictive. So addictive, in fact, that she felt her body reacting in all kinds of ways to it.

"I\'m really too naughty, aren\'t I?" She murmured.

***

In the restaurant, Kai found Aria sitting in a huge group of people. They were a mix of boys and girls that all tried to speak to her with friendly vibes. Perhaps because she was the most beautiful out of the whole class, she naturally grabbed their attention.

However, Aria seemed very quiet as she ate her food timidly. Even before when they were young, Aria was only open and talkative when she was with Kai. Outside, she was a very quiet girl.

Kai sighed inwardly as he drew a smile on his face and approached the group.

"Hello, everyone. Are you perhaps getting to know my best friend?" He asked, catching their attention.

"Huh? Best friend? Who are you?" One of the boys didn\'t seem to like the fact that Kai introduced himself as Aria\'s best friend so he asked aggressively.

"I\'m Jack, a fellow Ascender. Calia and I came here together. I\'m glad everyone is getting to know her better."

His words made everyone whisper and talk as they gave him side looks. However, Kai kept a calm and friendly front.

"Is that true, Calia?" A girl asked.

Aria finally stopped eating and lifted her head before she nodded it.

"Yes, we\'re childhood friends. I would like to eat lunch with him if you don\'t mind." She smiled charmingly at the group.

"O-Oh, is that so? That\'s fine. You heard her, guys! Let\'s give them some space." 

Although they felt unwilling, they still complied and quickly dispersed from the table, allowing Kai to sit down.

When Aria felt that everyone had gone away, she exhaled a long breath and finally continued eating.

"Why were nervous?" Kai asked.

"... I wasn\'t."

"I can hear your heartbeats. They were faster than normal a few moments ago." He said.

Aria knew that she was already cornered when he asked her that question so she simply answered.

"Their voices… They\'re too loud." She explained, her voice wavering slightly.

"Loud?"

"They were booming in my head… It\'s painful."

\'Is this some kind of trauma?\' Kai was a little confused as to why she couldn\'t handle their voices. In fact, not that long ago, she did a concert in front of hundreds of thousands of people and she didn\'t seem to be that affected by it.

"I\'m sorry for not acting properly… I promise it won\'t happ-"

"I will keep in mind to make them stay away from you," Kai replied as he received the plate from the waitress before he started eating. 

"..."

"It shouldn\'t be that hard to do. Just make sure not to stay away from me whenever we\'re around them." 

\'If she ends up having a panic attack, it could be dangerous to the plan.\' He thought to himself. That was his intention with those words.

However, Aria interpreted them slightly differently which shocked her.

After a long while, she finally spoke out.

"Thank you."

"Don\'t mention it," Kai replied coldly as he continued eating. The atmosphere around the table grew softer ever-so-slightly.

Lunchtime passed quietly as the group finally was brought to the arena where they would have their physical practice lesson. In that place were countless training machines, known and unknown to the Ascenders. However, the students stood in front of training dolls instead.

The dolls were made out of an elastic yet tough matter that seemed to be very resilient against punches and kicks. It was the perfect target to practice channeling Origin on.

After a while, Kaya appeared in front of them.

"Now, everyone. We\'re going to start the first practice lesson. Two hours of theoretical studying must\'ve made you eager to try what you learned. This is your opportunity to do so." She said as she looked around her.

"You will punch these dolls to begin with. Don\'t underestimate this training as punching using the right amount of Origin is very hard. These dolls here are very special as they can also absorb the punch and then quantify its power before showing it in the form of numbers on the screen on the dolls\' forehead as you can see."

Everyone naturally looked closer at the dolls\' foreheads and surprisingly, they could see the reflection of a screen that was otherwise hidden before.

"Now, let me show you an example of how to properly punch."
