AGENT: The Agent of Mutants

34. Try Not To Disappointed

[Author’s POV]

“Claire, Kim says, Apesta just met you?! Let's gather in the auditorium! Tell me everything there, huh?” Ruby's voice from earzoom Claire was heard.

The pretty face remained gloomy, he was not in the mood to answer Ruby now.

Claire's been off the rooftop dorm. He was sitting in the garden behind the dormitory right now, wanting to be alone, clearing his messy mind.

Suddenly, he heard the approaching footsteps. Reflexes, he looked back.

“What's first?” said Jack with both hands put in his pants pocket. Cool. Cool until it cries. But unfortunately Claire's mood was again at the worst point.

“Gak ngapain, go there.” Claire turned her face.

Unexpectedly, instead of leaving, the man instead sat right next to Claire. He looked at Claire's grim face. There's nothing he's done but that. He just stared at the beautiful bead.

Claire glanced at Jack from the end of her eyes.

That look... No, don't.

The gentle gaze that made Claire's bead felt so comfortable locked her gaze.

The fact that the girl had already fallen into the dark bead of the man, made her even more annoyed.

Claire chuckled bitterly. A few seconds later, he smiled.

There's too much he wants to say. He wanted to be very angry, venting all his frustration. If he could, he wanted to scream in front of this man. But, everything he held.

Jack frowned confused, “You why, Claire?” said astonishment.

Claire turned her face away, she looked down, teary-eyed.

It was so painful, so painful. Claire can't even speak anymore.

Noticing Claire's tears dripping down, Jack gasped.

“Claire-“

“Di. am.” Claire said in a trembling voice. “Do not... do not be nice like this..” Claire grabbed her hair in frustration.

“Claire, what happened-“

“GO!” claire with tears. He was tired of holding back his emotions. The disappointment was too big to be locked up. He is not at all a person who can hold something, let alone play a show.

Dark red aura started to come out from the girl's body. Things always happen when he loses his control. Almost.

Almost once. Before Jack approached and held the girl in his arms.

Claire rolled her eyes.

Warm. Very inconvenient. Instead of being calm, Claire's cry became more and more so.

Claire banged on the chest of the man's field, “I.. hate you..” she said in a trembling and humbling voice.

Jack tightened his arms, saying nothing. She didn't know what Claire meant right now, but she didn't want to see her cry without her in her arms. The man himself did not know clearly why he felt claustrophobic when this girl in his arms cried in front of him.

His heart beat fast. Either because this was the first time he held a girl who was crying, or because he was clinging... Claire.

Realizing that Claire was still not improving, she rubbed the top of the girl's head in her arms gently.

“Su-alah...lah, a. I ma-hiks-want to the canteen only!” claire said with a whim. He pushed Jack's body away. But nil, Jack did not feel encouraged because Claire's energy was weak.

Before Claire walked away, Jack clasped his hand, making Claire look back again.

Jack wanted to keep Claire from leaving, but her mind instantly became empty when the beads of the two of them met. He can't say anything. Claire's tired look was clearly implied in her eyes. His eyes were red, and so was his nose. The former stream of tears was clearly visible on his cheeks.

Jack sighed softly, admitting, this girl indeed had to rest. “I inter.”

Claire does not respond, but she walks more slowly, a sign that she allows Jack to drive her.

The two of them walked together, without any conversation. Jack was too reluctant to ask, because he thought, now was not the right time.

But one thing filled his mind now.

Does Claire really hate him?

What makes Claire hate her?

He continued to think about what mistakes he might have accidentally made.

Meanwhile, Claire feels stupid for venting her frustration on Jack. Although the subject is not wrong, but with this unclear context. Claire was both embarrassed and stupid.

Even so, in the depths of his heart, he still felt relieved to have let out his emotions.

Who would have thought in this first mission, not the science of how to fight and shoot more used, but the rules of acting perfectly and how to train mentally to be more useful.

Can't do. He can't give up here. This is already halfway to the chip's existence. He cannot be weak just because he obeys his heart. Although tight, but he had to continue this. Inevitably, Claire promised herself, she would use a brain, not a heart.

Disabling his human side for a while would be a good idea, that way, his chances of winning more. He agreed with his common sense, well, that all of this would continue.

“Jack..”.

The man turned his head, he raised both eyebrows. A little shocked because Claire suddenly opened her voice.

“Tadi Apesta meet me.” Claire stared at Jack's bead expressionlessly. He swallowed his saliva. “He sent me to AOM center, in the United States.”

Jack flinched, “That said Kim was right?!” he said, but, his face turned calm in an instant, probably because he knew, he should not look panicked in front of a girl who had just cried.

Claire nodded small.

20 Meters in front of them was already plastered female dormitory building. Which means they're almost there.

“Claire.”

Claire turned, “What, Brother?” she said with a thin smile. He's going to carry on all this. He had convinced himself, it would not hurt to entrust everything to Kim, so pretend nothing happened. Not knowing anything.

Jack rounded his eyes, “Kak?” tanyanya. Obviously because Claire never used the ‘Kak’ frills on the man.

Claire chuckles little, “Iya, I'm your underclassman. Right?” claire said with a sweet smile.

Jack smiled, displaying his dimples. He was very relieved that the woman in front of him had already smelled a smile on his face.

The man ruffled Claire's hair pinnacle, “For you don't have to wear ‘Kak’.” Her hand dropped from the top of Claire's head, and ended up resting on her cheek. He rubbed the tears on both cheeks of the girl. “Do not cry again, later if you want to cry again, call me first.”

When Claire realized that she was smiling, she immediately turned her face away. “A-ah, what the hell! Yes, I went in first! Thanks-but I didn't ask anyway, so, y-yaudah go sanaaa!” claire said as she stepped inside the female dormitory, leaving Jack chuckling.

Jack looked at Claire from behind, a smile engraved on her face.
