Celestial Bloodline-Novel

Chapter 40: Bia

Kyle's usual peaceful morning was disturbed by the sudden sharp pain inflicted on his left cheek.

With an annoyed expression, he tried to bury his face under the blanket but unfortunately, the endless pecking didn't stop at his face, It started pulling his hair.

Kyle was still sleepy to see the reason for all this, that's why instead of checking what it was he just wrapped himself inside the blanket to avoid the pain disrupting his sleep.

-'Wake up. I am hungry.'

'?..'

Hearing a child-like voice inside his head, Kyle was jolted awake.

"What? Who."

With eyes wide open he looked at the dorm door to see who was talking to him, but there was no one.

"Was it my imagination?"

He briefly glanced at his room, but as usual, the room was empty.

As it was still too early in the morning that's why after shaking his head, Kyle was going to bury himself inside the blanket again.

-'Are you ignoring me? I am hungry!'

"? Who."

This time the childish voice resounded too clearly inside Kyle's head to be ignored.

He hurriedly started looking here and there to see if anyone was present inside his room when suddenly something fluffy touched his hand.

"Huh."

He looked down and saw a small bright red color bird staring at him eagerly with her big blue eyes.

"What are you?"

Kyle picked up the small bird which was barely the size of a fist with two fingers and looked at it curiously.

The bird started wriggling inside his hand trying to free himself.

-'What are you doing? Let me go! Don't you know how to gently pick up someone?'

-'Also why are you still sleeping? I am hungry give me something to eat.'

Hearing the familiar child-like voice inside his head Kyle was dumbfounded.

"You.."

-Crick! Crick!

With an expression full of disbelief he was going to confirm something when he heard the sound of something breaking under his blanket.

Kyle hurriedly removed the blanket and confirmed his suspicions after seeing the red broken pieces of something, which was once an egg.

-'Hey, are you gonna let me go or not?'

His shock was interrupted by the endless chattering that resounded inside his head, coming from the small bird.

Or should he say the small Phoenix?

He wasn't sure... Why is it so small? Kyle couldn't help but think was it adopted?

"Why are you so small, did the Phoenix give me someone else child?"

The small bird seemed to be offended as its skin started burning with golden flames but she made sure it wouldn't harm Kyle too much.

Due to the sudden heat burning Kyle's finger's flesh, he let go of the bird with a wince.

-'I am not short! I am a legendary being.'

-'And here you are being ungrateful by making fun of my appearance.'

-'Also, I just came out from that egg that's why I am hungry, so give me some food.'

Kyle looked at the proud expression of the small fluffy ball with a complicated expression.

'I thought I would have a phoenix as a pet but what is this thing, it's not a phoenix at all!'

But amidst all the grumbling Kyle wasn't able to deny the fact that she was quite strong despite her small and cute appearance, because the moment she used the burning skill on Kyle, he was able to feel her Rank which was (E)-Rank!

Even higher than Kyle!

'As expected from a Phoenix. No, I should call it a bird.'

Kyle sighed before taking out something edible from his storage ring and placing it in front of the bird.

The bird started eating the food and after finishing she had a satisfied expression on her face before she flew and sat on top of Kyle's head.

Kyle looked up and smiled because for some reason he found it cute.

He could feel a small thread connecting them, and because of that Kyle was also able to feel a portion of her emotions.

He wonder if she could do the same.

-'Stop staring and give me a name.'

The bird looked at Kyle with her big blue eyes filled with expectations.

Kyle nodded seriously and started pondering about a suitable name for the little fellow.

"A name hmm."

"How about birdy? or reddy? I think it's similar to your appearance."

The bird looked at Kyle with wide eyes filled with disbelief, making Kyle doubt his naming skills.

"Was it that bad?"

-'Just bad? No, It's terrible! Your naming sense is very bad.'

Even though Kyle was getting scolded, he still found it cute how she was trying to speak like an adult with her child-like voice.

He also noticed that she had knowledge about her surroundings and was able to converse with him very easily.

'It seems it's true that monsters with intelligence can share some part of their knowledge with their offspring.'

"Then how about Bia It's the name of the goddess of strength."

Kyle lightly tapped the head of the bird who seemed to be enjoying herself.

-'Okay considering the previous options Bia is 1000 times better! I will go with it for the time being.'

-'I am a little sleepy, so I will sleep for a while don't wake me up for a while.'

"Alright."

Kyle picked up Bia from his head and carefully placed her on the pillow.

It seems Bia was getting tired too easily because she just left the egg.

Afterward, Kyle started preparing for the morning class he had been missing for a few days.

On the other hand, Nine also woke up early morning and after getting ready he knocked on Kyle's door.

But then he realized how waking up Kyle had become a habit because Nine had been doing it for the past month.

Nine sighed and was going to knock again but Kyle opened the door and greeted him with a small smile.

Afterward, both of them started walking toward the classroom.

....

As usual, the first-year classroom was filled with students but today a heated discussion was going on inside the class.

Everyone was chattering about the Tower and what kind of competition would be held to fill the 7 spots given to the first-year students.

Alec and Carcel both were sitting in the first row where Kyle usually sat with Nine, while Lara and Mia were sitting behind them.

They were also discussing about the Tower and the competition which will be held in a week.

The classroom door opened and two familiar faces entered the room, attracting the attention of everyone as they were the last to enter.

Alec looked at Kyle who entered the classroom with Nine, he waved toward them and gestured for them to sit beside him and Carcel.

Kyle replied with a greeting and sat on one of the two unoccupied seats beside Alec, but Kyle was feeling somewhat confused.

'Did he leave these seats for me and Nine? I wonder why. We are not that close.'

And just like Mia and Lara the four of them started conversing with each other, but like always among the four Carcel and Kyle were quiet only nodding their heads or speaking when necessary.
