1383words
While I can't do anything, I can only avoid it and try to keep myself from burdening others. I hid behind a tree, hoping it would provide a little protection from the attacks of wild bats. I watched the three of them with admiration. But I saw Grey. I could see darkness getting stronger inside him as if it was about to swallow him whole, and time was counting down.
I hid behind a tree and was discovered by wild bats who attacked with magical powers.
I immediately emerged from the hiding place, picking up the board pieces. As soon as the bat approached, I immediately hit it until it flew away. The other wild bats saw me injuring their comrade and immediately attacked me with magical powers until I ran endlessly, looking for a safer shelter.
"Get away from me!" I said, shouting.
Lily saw that I was in a desperate situation and immediately tried to help me using her magical abilities. She attacks the vampire bats with a protection spell that makes them retreat.
"Oh, my gosh! Thank you, Lily, for protecting me," I said, immediately approaching her.
"It doesn't matter. We have to help and protect each other in dangerous situations like this," Lily replied with a relieved smile.
Grey smiled sarcastically when he saw the incident, "Hah, it's true. Why does a burden like you have to be in a place like this? You'll only make the situation even more dangerous!"
"You can just shut up, Grey," Lily said sharply.
The wild bats started to join in and showed something out of control. A woman appeared in the crowd of bats. Professor Aria Star knew the woman and was surprised to see her.
The woman smiled at Professor Aria Star, "My friend, I'm back. Sorry for hurting you. See you in the next life," said She, who suddenly coughed out blood, then vomited blood and fell to the ground. Professor Aria Star, who was shocked, immediately ran over to the woman, trying to help her.
"My friend, I'm here to help you. Please stay with me. Look at me!" said Professor Aria Star frantically, trying to save the woman's life by administering first aid, namely healing magic. But the woman refused with a smile on her face.
"I'm happy to have a friend like you. Take good care of yourself, Aria," said She, who breathed her last breath into the air and disappeared along with the magical wild bat.
Professor Aria Star hugged herself as if hugging her friend tightly, sadly feeling a profound loss in her heart. Lily, Grey, and I immediately approached Professor Aria Star.
"Professor Aria, we are here for you. We will help you get through these difficult times. We will support you and be your source of strength as long as you need it," said Grey.
Professor Aria Star looked at us with eyes full of tears, feeling comforted and grateful to have a friend who was loyal and ready to help in a difficult situation like this.
After that incident, Professor Aria Star's study. She is still grieving and feels it is too late to save her friend. Grey took Lily to the Undermoon Academy maintenance room to check Lily's condition. Grey was very worried about Lily and hoped that nothing serious would happen to Lily.
"You have to examine yourself well. There may be something stuck in the wound that causes you internal injuries. It can't just be healed. Healer, please check Lily's condition?" Grey said worriedly to the healing expert in the treatment room.
"Leave it to me! "I will sift through her to make sure there are no serious injuries," said the healer, immediately taking Lily into the examination room.
Grey waited in the waiting room outside the room. He sat on a waiting chair.
"Hah, damn it! It's really annoying to be friends with someone who doesn't have any abilities. He's just taking advantage of Lily's abilities. He indeed has a friend like that. I'm sure he deliberately made Lily hurt, especially since he couldn't protect himself," said Grey. Annoyed at heart.
Grey really hates people who can only take advantage of other people's strengths without contributing anything or even caring about the safety of their own friends. Grey finds it difficult to trust anyone except professors Aria Star and Lily.
Not long after, Lily came out of the examination room with the healing expert. Grey immediately got up from his seat and approached.
"Lily, it's fine. There are no injuries whatsoever," said the healing expert.
"Thank you very much for your help," said Grey with a sigh of relief.
"Yes, no problem, I'm just doing my job. I'm very happy to be able to help," answered the healing expert in a friendly manner.
Grey and Lily immediately left the examination room and continued their day, feeling relieved and grateful that Lily had not suffered any severe injuries. While walking towards the dormitory, they talked to each other.
"Don't be friends with that girl anymore. She's just taking advantage of your power," said Grey in a firm tone to Lily.
"Hah, that's not true at all. That girl is very kind. Now I'm fine, but she has protected me from that attack," Lily boasted firmly to Grey.
"Huh, is that your stupid reason for protecting your friend? You're clearly hurt, and you say she has protected you. Don't be stupid!" Grey smiled sarcastically.
Lily was suddenly shocked, "Oh, my gosh! Where is Moon now? She must have been seriously injured from that attack," said Lily worriedly.
"Don't divert the conversation, Lily. We have to talk about your friend who uses other people's power without involving any contribution. He intends to harm you!" said Grey angrily.
"I'm serious, Grey! I'm not changing the conversation. What if she's seriously injured and dies? Aren't I an irresponsible friend? I'm responsible as long as she's here until she finds her way home!" said Lily, arguing with Grey in her defense of her friend being attacked by Grey.
"Okay, let's find your friend and ensure she is safe. After that, we can talk further about how your friend really uses your powers," promised Grey in a more relieved and understanding tone.
Lily and Grey continued their journey towards the dormitory, their hearts still arguing. They both looked for Moon anxiously, wanting to ensure their friend was safe.
Strolling, swaying, I immediately sat under a tree in Undermoon City Park. Suddenly, I vomited blood, and my body felt lethargic and weak.
"Ah, my goodness! Who is taking advantage of Lily's abilities? Ah, how annoying!" I said, vomiting blood again. I wiped the blood from my mouth with the back of my hand and tried to gather the strength to get up. However, my mood was erratic, and my thoughts were chaotic. I decided to stay here and try to calm myself down.
"Stupid! I should have protected Lily properly and not let her get hurt like this. She must be very disappointed in me because I couldn't protect her. I'm useless as a friend, I'm sorry! "Next time, I will try better to look after and protect Lily," I muttered.
I looked at the view of this place. The falling leaves felt slower with the gust of wind. I felt peaceful and touched by the natural beauty around me. I suddenly fell to the ground hard, and a sharp pain suddenly shot through my body. I started to feel comfortable and closed my eyes.
I felt like flying into the sky, seeing the beautiful light, and feeling an indescribable calm. I looked at my father and mother, who reached out to me with gentle smiles, giving me a sense of understanding and reassurance.
"My little princess, you came too fast. What's wrong with you?" said my mother, hugging me tightly.
"I'm sorry, mother. I don't know what to do, I've tried to protect my friend, but she keeps getting attacked. What should I do?" I answered in a weak voice.
