212 Lazy Days (1/2)

Ryuu was sitting near the pond, he was lazily moving his legs through the water as he dropped small bits and pieces of food inside it giggling as the fishes were trying to eat it.

Celestia arrived from behind him as she approached Ryuu she grimaced as the wind lazily blew the sleeves of his left hand.

Ryuu was alerted by sound of the movement of feet behind him, he turned to see one of his teacher arriving as such he tried to stand up in order to greet them only to be stopped by her, ”How are you Ryuu?”

Ryuu: ”Good morning and I am fine third mistress, although I wish the training ban on me is lifted.”

Celestia simply smiled as she spoke, ”Well your Spirit Veins are healing so it cannot be helped, but we can help the cultivation of your soul. In fact I should be blamed the most for your mishap I should have upped your training even more than you could have been able to protect yourself against soul based attacks even better. Those attacks caused you to get disoriented and I know how difficult it is to focus after receiving a soul based attack, and you even managed to counter attack so fast I am very proud of you, but you do not need to worry even you cannot train in anything you can cultivate your soul in this case, I believe we should start immediately since you have nothing else to do you can completely dedicate your time training your soul to make it stronger so that similar situation does not happen and if you manage to complete the training I will teach you some cool. ”

Ryuu started heavily sweating at that amongst all his teachers 'Celestia' was a sadistic slave driver and it did not help him as she was the 'LIBRARIAN', of the creepy library of Ayindril it was the cause of his nightmare when he was younger.

Ryuu: ”But teacher my soul is injured how I am going to train it.”

Celestia: ”Your soul getting damaged may have been a boon actually, the next phase of your training I was going to have you do after you came back from your adventure would have caused me to break and heal it continuously in a controlled environment, it is already damaged now I have to simply heal it and then repeat the cycle for 1000 times. Now let us go child it is time to begin your lesson”, she chirped happily.

Tears welled in Ryuu's eyes as he became visibly pale as he thought, 'Why why do I have to suffer so much. Getting my soul damaged and heal a 1000 times, what kind of masochistic person devised such method the horrible of training. If I find that person I will…. No trying to hit or kill the person will not be the perfect punishment because of masochistic tendencies it might just be opposite but….'

As Ryuu was suffering his internal crisis Celestia certainly burst out into laughter at seeing Ryuu suffer from internal crisis, as she spoke, ”Oh my you seriously fell for the ruse? There is no such training method that I know off which includes self harm.”

Ryuu's jaws opened wide at that as he shouted out at Celestia with his outstretched finger pointing towards her, ”That was mean so mean.”

Celestia controlled herself as she spoke, ”Well joke aside, I will be helping to heal your soul and I will not lie it would be a painful process, akin to sewing a part of your body to another, then we can work on strengthening your soul, but now follow me I have something to show you.”

With that Celestia placed a hand on Ryuu's shoulder as she teleported Ryuu in front of a room, she then moved forward as she injected her KI inside an array which caused the door to open with a hiss.

Ryuu had never been inside this room before, he walked in looking curiously looking a t various arrays and jar with greenish liquid before he was guided towards a jar containing a lone hand from just above the elbow.

”Ah you brought Ryuu here.”, came a calm voice from behind him.

Ryuu turned around as he greeted the woman standing in front of him, ”Good morning First Mistress.”

Veena smiled at him as she replied, ”Do you like that hand, Ryuu.”

Ryuu's eyes widened as he spoke, ”Is that for me?”

Veena nodded at that as she spoke, ”Yes Ryuu it is for you. Normally there are heavenly treasures and pills that can be used to grow our hand but I do not wish to strain your already damaged Spirit Veins too much as such possible as such I created your hand like this, now I will be attaching it to your body within a couple of weeks.”
