ch.13 Another Problem

With both hands on his back, he asked.

"Finally awake?"

"Regeneration of vision: 10%" It said.

Mikaela forced his body to sit on the dirty concrete.

💭 "System, how long was I asleep?" He thought.

"23 hrs and 50 seconds." It said.

*Sighs

"What are you sighing for?" The man asked, leaning infront of Mikaela.

He immediately felt uncomfortable, his eyebrows scrunched.

"Regeneration of vision: 25%"

"....."

The man laughed and smiled, extending his hand to help Mikaela.

"Need a hand?" He asked, tilting his head.

"Regeneration of vision: 65%"

But Mikaela didn't respond, forcing himself to stand up.

*Crash

💭 "Huh?" Mikaela's face was full of confusion after attempting to stand a couple of times he still failed.

"Regeneration of vision: 68%"

The man continued to watch, waiting for Mikaela to stand by himself.

*Sighs

💭 "I give up." His temper was starting to get the best of him.

"Calm down Mikaela.." He mumbled.

"So?" The man extended his hand once more.

"Regeneration of vision: 70%"

"....."

Finally accepting the man's offer, he carefully lifted Mikaela's body.

*Woosh

"There you go!" He smiled, holding Mikaela's back for support.

"Regeneration of vision: 78%"

💭 "I can finally see a little." He looked around, only seeing dark shadows.

Glancing at the man who's holding his shoulder he squinted his eyes.

"Kairo?" He mumbled, unsure of his answer.

"What?" The man stopped walking, turning his head at Mikaela.

"Regeneration of vision: 88%"

💭 "His voice is too deep." He thought, looking away from the man.

A few seconds later, Mikaela felt dizzy grabbing the man's collar tightly.

"H-hey!" *Jolts

Holding Mikaela tighter.

"We're here." The man whispered.

"Regeneration of vision: 95%"

The faint light blinded Mikaela, seeing the flashes of cameras focusing solely on the two of them.

"THE TWO SURVIVORS GOT OUT!!" The soldier waiting outside shouted.

💭 "We got out?" He thought, hearing the system fixing his vision.

"Regeneration of vision: 98%"

His vision slowly turned clearer.

"MIKAELA HELP!" A familiar voice lingered in his ears.

"Kairo?" He mumbled.

Squinting his eyes.

Kairo was held by two soldiers, forcing him to enter a military vehicle.

"Hold him down!" The chief commanded.

"MI- "

*Bang

His head slammed on top of the military van, losing his consciousness.

"Regeneration of vision: 100%"

Mikaela's eyes switched into gold for a few seconds, immediately changing back to it's original color.

💭 "Oh?" The man saw Mikaela's eyes full of rage, glancing at Kairo who was being taken away.

"Sir Letero! (Heinz)" A soldier ran towards them.

*Thump

Mikaela's eyes widened unable to look at the man who was holding him.

*Thump

*Thump *Thump

His sweat dripped from his forehead.

He froze on the spot.

💭 "Brother?"
