"Damn it, I stink." Matt clicked his tongue loudly before raising his head from where he was sitting.
Kai, who had been staring at him as he mumbled to himself, lingered for a bit, almost as if letting him process the embarrassment of being caught acting like a lunatic. "You look rough, man."
Veins popped out on Matt's forehead, but with clenched fists, he barely held himself back. Sighing, he asked, "So, how was your fight? And don't give me any deadpan answers."
Kai nodded. "Well, I killed three mid-level B-ranks who bullshitted me into thinking they were A-ranks, but I guess they were using the four energies. After that, I turned them into mage saints."
Matt looked at him, then at the ground. "Why do I always end up choosing crazy people as my friends? And of course, my best friend just has to be the craziest of the bunch."
Kai grinned. "Oh, were you worried?" His grin abruptly vanished. "Just to say, I'm into girls, okay?"
