Chapter 56
56 Meeting Lotus
But upon getting out, Kate saw the scene that she hated the most.
There were piles of giant insects on her road.
“Meow...”
Kate sighed and then tried taking those light dots into her body. She could sense that the moment she took them; it was also strengthening her ability slightly. And the black dots of these insects suddenly grew and then the entire body collapsed.
Looking at the insects that suddenly rotted on the ground, Kate froze on the spot.
What kind of thing is that light and black spots?
Kate thought of taking the crystals and a crystal appeared inside her space even without her approaching the rotting insects.
“Meow?”
Kate looked at the row of insects in front of her and suddenly felt that they were not so bad looking. At the very least, they would be useful for her to gather a lot of cyrstals and to strengthen her ability. Even if it was only a little bit, it was more than enough for her to advance again.
.....
Maybe advance a bit more?
Anyway, Kate went on insect killing spree. Since she already hated these insects from the very beginning, she had no burden from killing them.
*pant* *pant*
After around three hours of insect killing spree, Kate was thoroughly tired. She could also sense that her body seemed to be full from both the crystals and also the light spots. It seemed that her body will need some time to completely digest what she had ‘eaten.’
The leftover crystals were still in her space and it was estimated that they would melt directly when she was no longer full.
“Meow~”
Kate looked at the row of rotting insects behind her and shook her body slightly. In any case, she had no intention of staying here and then see these insects rotted until they turned into dust.
Huh uh.
She would rather move towards other locations and made sure that she was could hide.
Hmm, should she take care of the cameras? But she had been moving around within the insects, so it should be hard to see the figure of a small cat amongst these giants rats that were rotting here.
Kate looked around and realized one thing.
She’s lost.
She didn’t know the way back at all.
“Meow...”
Kate frowned and looked at the clock nearby. It was already half an hour past nine in the morning, so Kyle and the others might have started to wake up. After all, she was only sleeping for nine hours back then.
Hmm, but Kate herself was not totally sure how much time was needed for the humans to wake up.
Oh forget it.
Kate walked to the nearby river and washed her body slightly. The smell of those rotting corpses made her sick and she didn’t want to keep her body continue being so smelly. Anyway, she knew that she wouldn’t be able to repeat this massive giant insect killing again in the future.
These insects were all passed out, which was why Kate could afford to kill uncountable amount of insects.
And the most pleasant thing was that these insects provided her with various colors of crystals. It seemed that they were all of different elements and maybe it also had some relationship with what kind of insect they were.
Hmm, Kate definitely didn’t want to study these insects deeply.
Splash! Splash!
Kate happily played in the water. The temperature was just right and Kate had the feeling that Kyle will be able to find her easily. She just needed to wait a bit for him to come and fetch her.
“Meow~”
Tep! Tep! Tep!
Hearing the sound of footsteps, Kate raised her head and was surprised to see her university classmate Lotus along with several people she didn’t recognize. One of them was walking beside Lotus, so he might be the leader along with Lotus.
Considering Lotus’ reputation as the school belle and also her beautiful appearance, Kate was not that surprised that she will have another group to follow.
She might also have some kind awakened ability?
She didn’t care.
“Meow.” <Time to go. I'll just wait in other location."
Lotus suddenly stopped and her eyes were fixed on the cat that had just finished washing. Traces of ruthlessness flashed within her pupil. "That cat..."
"Do you know that cat?"
"Yes, it's the cat belonged to Professor Kyle." Lotus gnashed her teeth. From the way she behaved, it seemed as if she and that teacher was mortal enemies.
Kate was stunned when she heard the tone.
Didn't Lotus always adored Professor Kyle when they were in class because of how handsome that professor was? How did it change to deep seated hatred in just 2 weeks?
