29 Departure (1/2)

”gah”, a painful sound came from Ryuu's throat as he was kicked hard by Maheswara, he spit a glob of blood, then he charged at his teacher with a punch with his right hand, Maheswara went to catch the punch with his left only for Ryuu to crouch as he used his momentum to punch him in the groin, with a surprise show of agility his teacher placed his right hand on the offending arm of Ryuu, then he cart wheeled using Ryuu's right hand as a support, as he went on in an arch while holding his right hand then using the momentum he flung Ryuu. Ryuu was sent flying, but he did not give up, he used his hands to grab one of the branches of the tree on whose direction he was flung, to change the direction, he gained the desired effect as he now shot towards his teacher like a stone released from a sling.Maheswara sidestepped going out of the way of Ryuu's attempt of flying kick on him and kneaded him hard, Ryuu felt his ribs crack as blood flowed out of his mouth; he bounced on the ground before hitting another tree near the arena, before falling unconscious.

He opened his eyes, as he found himself inside the hospital room again. 'I really should make this my personal room from now on, instead of staying in my house, as recently I have been spending more time here.', he thought with a deadpan.

Suddenly a voice came from his side, ”Welcome back Ryuu.”

Turning to his side he saw his First Mistress sitting by his bedside.

Ryuu quickly tried to seat only to wince from the pain in his ribs, Veena stopped him from sitting.

Veena:”Child there is no need to sit, you injured yourself during the practice and now your bones are almost healed, so rest for a little bit before moving again.”

Ryuu nodded before asking Veena, ”um First mistress how long I was unconscious.”

Veena: ”Just half an hour I healed all you injuries during the time. Due have any more problems? And more importantly due you remembered anything?”

Ryuu: ”No First Mistress, except the slight pain I felt when I tried to sit I am alright. The last I remembered I was sparring with master before everything went black.”

Veena nodded: ”Do not you hurt your ribs when Mahes kicked you, but the force of the kick was great so you were sent flying towards a tree, before hitting your head which caused you to faint, well since you are mostly healed I will release you soon after that you go and take a bath in that medicinal hot spring for as long as you can, before you go home. Oh before I forget the tomorrow is a holiday, as your older sisters are taking you on an excursion for a few days, you should pack your things and spent some time with your mama.”

Ryuu was astonished with the news, before hurriedly asking Veena a question,” What is an excursion?”

Veena: ”Well since your progress is satisfactory, your older sister thought of taking you to some places where you can relax and learn a thing or two outside of cultivation. Now what you will be learning is a surprise, but remember to listen to your sisters and try to be on the best of your behavior.”

Ryuu nodded at that, after he was fully healed he went to take his daily deep in the medicinal hot spring.

While Ryuu was busy having his daily doses of stink and pain from his medicinal bath, Maheswara was currently sitting on a seiza position, as he had a bruised and battered look, cowering under the combined glares from his wives.

Veena strolled as she leveled an angry glare which promised pain on his husband, before scolding in a scathing manner,” What possessed to hit him so hard? He had 7 shattered ribs, one of them broke so badly it punctured his left lung, internal hemorrhage, collapsed lung, not to mention his brain injury, he could have died.”

Maheswara tried to whimper out, ”But you he…..”

Veena shouted out at the top of his lungs, ”Do NOT 'YOU' ME, you imbecile, if had not reached 'Advanced' realm in his 'Virtuous Buddha's Jade Body', few days ago we would have been holding a funeral now, he is a seven years old, I understand due to his unique condition he has advanced by leaps and bounds in cultivation, but he is immature and not strong enough as he still hasn't finished his growing, you should have held back more.”

Maheswara: ”I understand, but my body reacted on reflex and …”

Nuwa: ”No excuses we have decided to punish you accordingly.”, as she leveled a glare on her husband.
