The Protagonist's Matchmaker

Chapter 24

"damn it!"

Shin wanted to follow Ren, but he knew what was more important right now.

He walked towards Glen, feeling a little guilty.

After all, he and Glen used to be close. But Glen slowly became more selfish and unrestrained with hid action, leading them to frequent fights.

"GAAARGHH" The red eyed Glen shouted

It would be a stretch to say this man still had humanlike features.

With a pained look, he said
"I'm sorry"

There was nothing he could do now to save him.

With Asil, he slowly freezed Glen and let it break along with him.

Watching the fragments of his old friend dissipate, he just stood there in silence.

••••••

Ren, "-cough-cough-"

As he walked away from the arena, more and more blood was coming out of his mouth.

In anger, he looked up at the sky.

Ren, "You fucking bastard. You just had to make it painful"

Although he was complaining, he still kept moving forward, as if he was trying to search for something.

'I have to find it'

'I can't lose'

Almost out of the Academy, he slowly halted.

Ren, "What was I trying to find?"

"...."

••••••

'ah...I've done it now. Glen's dead'

This was the first time he had to kill someone he was close to.

Reaching the gate, he spotted Ren just standing there.

When Ren looked behind, Shin was shocked

'is he okay?? I thought he didn't get hurt???'

He looked more injured than Shin who did most of the fighting.

He was genuinely worried.

Ren, "ah I'm okay Master Shin. Must be from that spell"

Shin, "...I'm going to request for a healer. You're allowed to accompany me"

He was going to call a healer for himself. Not just for Ren. Of course not.
....

Ren, "Thank you master"

Shin looked around and saw no carriages.

'They must've all escaped or called for back-up'

He inwardly sighed
'things will get hectic soon'

Shin, "Can you walk?"

Ren, "....I'm standing right now?"
'It's so obvious???' Ren thought

'Why was I even worrying', Shin thought being annoyed

He grabbed something out from his bag.

Shin opened the top and shoved it Ren's mouth.

"Don't waste a single drop"

Ren was shocked by this but did as he said.
'Just hand it to me next time you idiot!'

It was a bit wide so it strained his mouth when it entered.

When Shin saw Ren swallow everything, he slowly pulled it out from his mouth.
