Chapter 487 - An unimaginable situation (part-4) (1/2)

Neacht embraced Antariksh with a large smile on her face as she spoke, ”Congratulations sister.”

Antariskh returned the gesture as she spoke, ”Thank you, sister.”

It had been a month since her tribulation but because of the coup d'état the celebration was put on hold but now since everything had been settle Maheswara decided to celebrate Antariskh's accomplishment to lighten the mood after the tragedy.

Neacht looked around as she spoke, ”Where is your baby brother, I heard he was injured is he alright now.”

Antariksh's smile dimmed a bit at the thought of her brother she replied, ”He is recovering well, for now, mother was forced to remove his entire nervous system as well as certain parts of his brain before growing them, now he is trying to acclimatize with his newer parts otherwise it is alright.”

Neacht let out a sigh of relief before she spoke with a frown, ”Ryuu really has very bad luck being forced to suffer something like that one after another.”

Antariskh could not help but nod in agreement as she spoke, ”You are right though you can also say it is Heaven's way of balancing the fact that he has risen so high so fast.”

Neacht nodded before her eyes roamed around as she spoke, ”So where is he?”

Antariskh grimaced as she spoke, ”Remember how I told you he was acclimatizing with his new nervous system well…”

A few minutes before Ryuu was pleasantly chatting with Leo one of her elder sisters' acquaintance though his mood had soured seeing how even his Aunty Khygnos had tried to persuade him to leave the army, and with each second he as getting more and more agitated but he was soon rescued by none other Leo who dragged him away in the guise of having some small talks.

Standing a bit away from the rest Leo spoke with a small smile, ”I believe amongst all my friends I had the least interaction with you.”

”So true senior brother.”

”I heard about you surpassing us in Eden, congratulations.”

Ryuu simply gave him an embarrassed smile as he replied to him, ”Thank you though it was mostly because of my luck.”

”Luck is a very important part of you Ryuu, it is as much your strength as your sword techniques so please do not downplay your strength.”

Ryuu nodded as Leo continued, ”Ryuu I know I might sound like I am preaching but please they are only worried about you.”

Ryuu groaned inwardly as he quickly deduced the direction their talk was heading too, 'There we go again.”

Leo raised his hand in mock surrender as he spoke, ”I apologize for trying to sound like that but you know they are saying and trying to persuade you because they care for you right.”

Ryuu's jaw hardened as Leo continued to speak, ”So why are you trying so hard to stay in the army despite all odds, despite the threat to your life.”

Ryuu with a frustrated sigh was about to retort only to be stopped by Leo who raised his hand before continuing, ”You know Pangu despite being praised as a golden child was not without his faults, he had an ego larger than a planetary system, in fact, I have never seen anyone as prideful as he was, are you the same are doing so because of your pride and ego, please tell though do not worry I simply wish to understand you not to order or advice you to do something that you do not wish to do.”

Ryuu was silent for a moment as he stood still before he began to speak again, ”True maybe my pride and ego are involved in it but that is not the only thing that is at work here, I since I became my teachers' disciple I have been handed everything, if I said I liked the moon then the moon was brought down to me.”

With a small breath Ryuu continued, ”Everything I had achieved it was handed down to me, unlike others who had to work hard I was handed down everything, I hate it, being the army meant no matter how insignificant the accomplishment maybe but I achieved it through my own work not because it was handed to me.”

”Every place that I have been safe for some extreme cases like Eden I had guards following me, no matter how foolishly I had acted no matter how dangerous my foes were the worst I had received was a few broken bones because they always rescued me.”

”Even my increase in my level is because of an accident I had nothing to do with it as su…”, whatever he was going to say was stuck in his throat as he rolled his eyes as he fell unconscious, as Leo quickly caught him with a dumbfounded look on his face.

'Eh, what happened? He was speaking with me just not and all of a sudden he collapsed.'

His answer came in the form of Maheswara as he quickly came by his side as he spoke in an apologetic tone, ”I am sorry Leo, Ryuu is healing from severe nerve damage and thing like this tends to happen from time to time, though it is becoming less and less as time passes by.”
