Chapter 51:Shooting (1/2)
When Yman finally arrived at their room, his sister was so shocked when she saw him. He looks so beat-up and sluggish.
She asked him worriedly of what happened, Yman told her that he went to map the Underground Channel where his solo mission as a trainee was located.
But unfortunately, he had met with the monsters so soon and a fight was inescapable. He did not mention the evolved one and about his power. Because he knew that his sister would feel regretful if she knew what happened to him in the past after they were being separated. Even though she was not at fault about it. However, she keeps on blaming herself for being a disabled person. Which Yman is trying to avoid.
An idea popped up in his mind. He must bring extra clothes next time so that before coming back he looks fine and avoids worrying his sister. Hmm… why did it just come to his mind? Yman regretted. Anyways, he was too exhausted to think of any sensible things.
Regardless, at the moment, only he and Ms. Pai knew about his secret.
He also told his sister that the monster inflicted a poison on him but good thing that he was well-prepared, not only he wore some suit with poison resistance, he also bought potions for poison ailments.
He explained to her that after drinking the potion, the poison healed but his body protested because of the side effect and that he was having diarrhea at the moment.
Yana had a worried face and was trying to get up and sit on the bed. He hastily said that he's fine now and that no need to get worried about him. This diarrhea will probably go away after taking some medicine.
In reality, his diarrhea was the after effect from using his Black Mana, and it could not be healed by ordinary medicine. Although it would be gone even without medicine, he just needed some rest, but for the main time, Yman had to suffer before that.
To assure his sister that he was really fine as of the moment, Yman self-proclaimed that he was a strong person, and this kind of disease was nothing to him.
Yana could only force a smile to her brother's act. She knew that he was forcing himself too much, and right now he was acting fine. She could even feel his deep breathing at the moment, and his messy hair was even messy and clearly wet from his sweat. He's exhausted no matter how she looks at him.
Certainly, Yman was not a good actor in front of his sister.
If only she could stand on her own. If only, she could help even with the house chores, she could help to lighten up some of his burden that he was lifting through his thin shoulders.
However, here she was, limped lying on the bed. Could only sit but could not walk. She doesn't like this, being an addition to his heavy loads that he carried on by himself.
She really doesn't care if her brother was the weakest person in the world, as long as he's fine and away from danger.
Yman noticed that Yana had a solemn face, and at the corner of her eyes, started to wet. He then moved beside her and gently touched her head while forcing the sweetest smile a big brother can muster.
”Sorry, I made you worry again. Don't worry your big brother will be more careful next time.” He said with a gentle smile and gently wiped her eyes that started to get wet and red.
Yana also smiled from her brother's words: ”Mhm.” And she nodded her head. Then entangled her arms on Yman's thin waist.
Yman knew what his sister was thinking. That she felt like she was a load on his shoulder, which is not true. He was very happy to see her again, after many years that they had separated. Every day he was praying to reunite with her. Because of her, he was able to stay alive from that torturous hell-like place.
And because of her, he did not lose his sanity and remained sane even after that horrendous past of him.
Yman gently brushed Yana's hair with his hand. His hand slides on his sister's long silky brown hair.
A moment later, she asked about Sistela when it came to her mind. Yman explained truthfully, he said that Sistela was in hibernation mode at the moment. Then he handed to her the soundless sleeping ball-shaped deity. Every 2 seconds, blue flashes of lightning occasionally trailed in the imprint that could be seen around its body. Indicating that it was charging at the moment.
The next morning,
Yman woke up early per usual, he needed to attend the physical training which is held at 4 AM - 8 AM early in the morning.
But this time, Yman was not in his top condition. His stamina did not regain fully. He had to suffer being woken up and had to run to the toilet several times last night.
He didn't even have a good sleep last night. And now his eyes have black circles surrounded around it.
Sistela was left in the hotel to take care of his sister. There is no need to bring her to the training grounds.
After he finished changing his uniform into a training suit, he directly went into the training grounds where he saw Bob and his deity doing some stretching in front of one of the punching dummies.
Near it is a shooting area, where every trainee can practice their shooting skills.
He even saw some trainees using magic-based guns and some using bows and crossbows while shooting at a distance of 30 - 50 meters, each one of them was busy trying to hit the bullseye target inside the flat wooden cardboard.
Yman noticed from Bob's face that something good happened to him. He guessed that he successfully advanced into level 3.
When Bob saw him, he immediately lifted his hand in the air and called out to Yman excitedly.
