━───After making sure that the aftereffects of Limitless is no more, Chiye stood up from her position and started walking towards the medical room, knowing that the others are there. After all, Kartein specifically told her to directly go there after the fight since he wants to check up on her for any injuries --- which is a forgotten plan given the fact that Chiye didn't even received the slightest of scratch on her body.
While on her way back, Chiye was thinking about many things. The 'what-ifs' and the 'what-wills' are occupying her mind as she walked leisurely. She has been in this world for quite a while now, and she's already starting to get used to the life in here. Many people are friendly towards her and communicating with individuals who have fiery passion for improvement caused her to forget the previous mistreatment she suffered at the hands of her own family.
"Chiye!"
The sudden and unexpected call of her name caused Chiye to pause. Given that she didn't expect it, it can be seen just how deep Chiye has been immersed in her own thoughts.
Looking behind her, Chiye met four pairs of worried and delighted gazes.
"Huh?"
'Aren't they...' Chiye was just thinking their names when she felt herself being enveloped in a hug.
"Chiye! Are you alright?!"
The hug wasn't tight, showing that the initiator was testing how Chiye would react and giving her the complete right to pull away if she ever gets uncomfortable.
"Jihye?" Chiye called out hesitantly, testing whether she got the name right. Once she saw the bright smile on the older girl's face, she knew she got the name right, causing Chiye to relax a bit as she speak in a calm and whisper like tone. "Why are you all out here? Shouldn't you be resting?"
The four smiled after hearing Chiye's concern. It was true that they should be resting, especially Gangwoo and Jeongsu. The way their body was beaten up heavily by the world awakeners academy students is truly severe, and if it weren't for Chiye, they would be in a lot of danger.
