Chapter 240 - Rean vs Karon (2/2)
Using my earth magic, I pull the hammer through my magnetic magic, and the hammer, Rean and myself are in one alignment. The hammer will surely hit Rean's spine shall he not avoided it
”How naive” [Rean]
”!?” [Karon]
”Circle of fire” [Rean]
As if he was dancing, he swing his katana around, making a full 360 degree with flame following him. The flame and the rotation cause the hammer of mine to be deflected in the air, before he grab it and about to attack me with it
(This is bad!) [Karon]
~Sudden halt~
”!?” [Karon]
”I believe it was my win” [Rean]
”How irritating...” [Karon]
”Hahaha. Sorry abou...” [Rean]
~Sudden headbutt~
””Ouch!!”” [Rean, Karon]
I know that he wouldn't prepare for my sudden headbutting, but I feel like my own brain is going full numb from it.
”Hahaha... I kinda understand now” [Rean]
”About what” [Karon]
”You're actually a nice person Karon. Don't ever doubt that about yourself” [Rean]
”What are you talking about?” [Karon]
We both get up before Rean continue to talk
”You see, your bloodlust just now, was actually like how Brother Ash was when he was confronting Motra” [Rean]
”!?” [Karon]
”Well, in Brother Ash case, it's from his own desire, and in your cases, there's another person driving it, am I correct?” [Rean]
~Nod~ ”It was my father...” [Karon]
”I see... Well, in any case, your father was nothing more than a passenger in your mind, behind every action of your” [Rean]
”Meaning?” [Karon]
”Think of it like driving a bus golem around. You're the driver for your own mind, and everyone else is a passenger. Some passenger, let say Brother As... Princess Diana will always bring positive influence to the driver. Encouraging the driver and putting the driver mind in a state of ease” [Rean]
(He wanted to use Brother Ash as an example of a person with positive attitude isn't he...) [Karon]
”And this father of your, in each swing of your hammer, in each spell of your, he actually interfere with your true reason of fighting” [Rean]
”My true reason?” [Karon]
”Yes. You're fighting to protect those who you care, and yet I got this feeling, your father isn't someone like that, he was like Motra. Those two conflicted with each other, making you rather uncomfortable” [Rean]
I see. Master Jacks must have taught Rean so well. It feels like Rean is dissecting my brain pieces by pieces to understand what I am feeling right now. I wonder if Mrs Gizzere, who people always call someone that can read other people's mind was practicing the same art, albeit in a different manner
”So, what should I do?” [Karon]
”Well, you're the driver of your own mind, and your father is only a passenger, so you can just kick him out from your mind. At least that is what I am thinking” [Rean]
”How?” [Karon]
”That... I don't know. Maybe we can ask someone else?” [Rean]
”That's a let down...” [Karon]
”Sorry” [Rean]
”No. It's fine, and Rean... Thank you” [Karon]
”You're welcome” [Rean]
”Ohh Rean, can you please tell Princess Diana and Guild Master Ram that I would like to tell something during the briefing” [Karon]
”Huh, sure” [Rean]
The fight and talk with Rean was rather a refreshing feeling. Like something suddenly vanish from my mind, though the core problem doesn't go away just yet. I should talk with other about it, but who...
Anyway, I better tell the other that we should all go to the adventure guild this morning. I'll tell them about...
