2 Reunion with Parents (2/2)
”I'm not done yet, go with your dad first and I'll call you guys when food is ready.” Raven nodded and kissed her cheeks. She just shook her head and went back to cooking.
Raven felt weird. He found it somewhat embarrassing to act like a kid but he is one. This was always how he acted whenever he's with them. He had almost forgotten what it feels like but it feels natural to him as well.
'Whatever. I'll act according to how I feel. I'm a kid now after all, just an old soul.'
Wearing a foolish grin, he skipped around and went towards the back of their house where the yard is. He found another door and gently opened the door and saw a bare chested man holding a broadsword horizontally.
Like him, his father also had a black hair, albeit longer than what he had. His shoulders were broad and most of his facial features were inherited from him, even his temperament. This father of his was performing casual swings of his sword, but Raven could tell that there's a profound meaning behind these 'casual' swings.
He was after all an old soul, his vision was trained into the point where he could easily point the weakness of a low grade battle art without any difficulties, if he seriously consider it he could even give them instructions that would allow them to see the path beyond them.
With one glance, Raven could see multiple seals around his father's body. They were placed on his hands, shoulders, spine, thighs, legs and feet. These seals adjusted the weight around the area where they are placed. Each time his father swung his sword, the seals will adjust the weight on his limbs, making it extremely challenging to perform even a casual swing.
This is a very old way of training but it was definitely effective, but with his father's current cultivation realm, this won't be enough. He sighed and looked for a towel to help his father wipe of his sweat. He went into a corner and saw it, he also found an unfinished work of his mother.
It was his father's military uniform, there was a hole on both of the sleeves. He could see that she was on the middle of sewing it since there was a ball of thread and a set of needles beside it.
Seeing this, Raven's eyes shone. It was fated that since he experienced rebirth, he will disrupt the original timeline and destiny of those who were around him, and since it was gonna happen anyway, would it really matter if he started now or later?
He secretly stashed the needles on his pocket and picked up a towel and entered the back yard.
”Dad!” He exclaimed as he went inside. His father looked towards his way and smiled, he stabbed his sword on the ground and waited for him to come closer. As Raven did, his father placed his hand on his head and ruffled his hair.
”You fine now little brat?” His father's voice was deep and full of vigor as he asked about his well being.
”Mn! I'm fine now!” He nodded in confirmation, he beckoned his father and said: ”Sit, I'll wipe your sweat, Mom would pinch my ears if I won't do it.”
”Hahaha, then I'll be on your care.” His father grinned and sat down with his back facing him.
Raven grinned and wiped his back carefully. He slipped his other hand on his pocket and placed needles between his teeth. He withdraw one and wedge it swiftly on his nape. His father lost consciousness right away, not even knowing what happened. He placed the towel down and lift up his sleeves.
”Alright old man, I'm gonna give you one hell of a boost. Slap the faces of those pigs in the army for me and show them what real talent plus hardwork means.”
Saying this, the pupils in his eyes changed. A golden corona appeared on it's outer layers, it's barely noticeable unless someone was really paying attention. His vision changed along with the appearance of this golden corona as well.
His vision was boosted by ten times, he could now see everything in a 180° angle clearly. If he chooses to, he could focus his vision onto a straight line and zoom in closely. A smile formed in his lips, he lifted one needle after another and poked it onto the acupuncture points on his father's head and spine.
Once he's done, he deactivated his vision and slumped onto the ground while panting, good thing his father was still unconscious or else his cover will be blown. Now he only had to wait until the treatment was done.
”Old Sam, you're book is really amazing. Thanks to it, my father's true potential will awaken and his foundations will be extremely solid. I just need to think of a solid plan so that I could give him a Cultivation Techniques plus some Combat Arts that suited him the best. Then he will really be unstoppable.”
Raven laughed in delight as he could see the foul air that's drifting off from his father's orifices. This treatment that he did to him was not only to cure any lingering damages on his body but also liberate his true potential. If it weren't for the fact that he is trying to hide the knowledge of his rebirth to everyone, this process would be so much easier. Nonetheless, he succeeded in the end.
”Alright it's done, time to wake him up and act.” He whispered as he silently crept up on his back.
