Chapter 20 - Level 15 [ part 2 ]. Nightmares of the past (2/2)
”You know how to cook?”
”But of course. I woke up early and had nothing to do, so I decided to make breakfast for everyone. I ate already by the way, so you can begin. Here's the tea. Let it stay for some time before drinking, so that tea can give taste to water.”
”You are truly experienced with it. Almost feels like you are a chef.” Miss Granger smiled.
”Hm? Am I? Well, I don't know. After all, the greater our knowledge increases, the greater our ignorance unfolds, so it's hard for me to perceive my own skills.”
”Wise words, young man.” Mister Granger said, while entering the kitchen.
”Thank you very much. Have a nice breakfast. I will go out for some light training. In school I have completely forgotten about training the body, consumed by all that new knowledge” I laughed embarrassingly.
”Oh. Okay. Have a nice training I suppose.”
Both ȧduŀts looked at me looking amused and interested.
”Thanks a lot.”
I exited the house, without changing clothes. And started running while trying to remember all the locations I was running through and mapping it inside. I was running slowly to warm up and not get myself too overworked.
I am growing, thus healing fast, but still it's not an anime where you can push your body without limits. After all, human is incapable of regeneration. Rip or damage a muscle and you are in a big trouble. Therefore, I will take it easy and slow.
Also, running allowed me to obstinate from all evil thoughts and emotions, at least temporarily. However, at one moment I heard a scream.
”Help me! Help…” I heard woman's shout.
”Shut up! Nobody is going to help you, now.”
'No way. Chance to vent my anger, right when I need it the most? No way, I will miss it. Sorry guys, you can only blame you shitty luck for meeting me.'
I had no idea if I had the 'Trace' on me, but it was as good possibility as any to try it out to see. Granger's house is far, at least 5 kilometers away, so I think Hermione won't be a suspect if I use some magic.
I used quick and temporary transfiguration to change color of all my clothes to gray while moving my hand over my face at the same moment and equipping the mask. Honestly, I have no good reason to move my hand like this, but I felt it will be flashy and satisfying to do this, so…
I also equipped bracelet and entered nearby alley where scream came from. Thanks to bracelet, group of people there didn't notice me yet.
'Perfect. Let's do this, quick and nice. Empowered Fumos'
Smoke veiled whole alley in its clutches, me wearing all graying mixed in perfectly in that smoke. I started moving to seek my target.
Any man silhouettes were my targets.
First. My right hand tightened into a fist and then my fingers sprang out as if some force from inside my fist forced it to unclench in the direction of that first target.
'Flipendo!'
He flown away and struck a wall, which I hope knocked him out. Power of the spell was tripled thanks to the sneak ability.
Second target.
'Flipendo!'
Third one, was just about to turn in my direction when I struck him.
'Flipendo'
I did not find anyone else, except for a woman silhouette on the floor.
I left the ally, same way I entered it, while un-transfiguring my clothes and moving my hand over my face once more, but this time to stove away mask into the inventory.
Some may say, that I should stay and help damsel in distress, but I would disagree. I am not some kind Samaritan. What I did, I did for myself to vent anger and frustration I felt. Helping a person was just reason to involve myself and not the main goal.
Anyway, I continued my running.
I am not completely calm but smashing people with magic still allows to let some steam out and I also can expect this experiment's results soon.
'Ah! Feels nice.'
