Chapter 257 - Loss Of Memory (2/2)
[Why... Why...?]
Serena and Ariel didn't know what to do, they just stared and watched as the young man tried to recompose himself.
”There's no doubt about it... We're a moderate distance away from the city. Hey... How long was I out for?” John asked
A transparent blue clock which was visible for both of the two was formed in front of him just as he asked that, Showing that time.
”Out for...? We don't know... It's been half an hour since we found you.” Said Serena
Hearing this, John turned to Serena before asking
”No, not that, I mean... How long was I out for since you brought me and everyone into the carriage... There's no way we would have gotten everyone on this carriage and have gotten this far away from the city in just 30 minutes... 30 minutes ago I was...”
”John... What are you talking about...? It's been 6 hours since we left, And it's been 2 hours since you brought Lydia with the two kids over... It wasn't us... But you.” Said Ariel
John's felt his heart sink as he heard those words. It wasn't possible, it just wasn't possible. Not only did the time add up, he could feel that. He then looked at the clock before clenching his hands into a fist
”4... Around 4 in the evening...” John muttered
”When did you-”
Before Serena could finish, John suddenly ran and jumped straight out of the carriage. The two tried to stop him, but he managed to get through.
”John! Wait!” Ariel called out to him
”Come back you idiot!!” Shouted Serena
Without looking back, John quickly propelled himself straight into the air. Leaving the carriage behind.
”There's no way... How could I forget...?” John muttered as he flew straight up.

”Mrs Sylvia! Why didn't you stop him!?” Serena asked as she turned to Master Sylvia.
Lydia also stopped the carriage due to all the activity before turning looking at the two. Serena looked rather angry while Mrs Sylvia looked completely undisturbed.
”C-Calm down Serena...” Said Lydia in an attempt to lighten the mood
”No, she's right.” Ariel joined in
She then looked straight at Master Sylvia who hadn't said a word and continued to look at the road.
”Why didn't you stop him? It was obvious that something had happened, he was confused. Leaving him in a condition like that...”
”He'll be back when he's feeling better.”
”You always do that, always saying that everything will be fine, but how can you know for sure?!” Serena asked
”Because, that kid is much stronger than you two think. Both physically and mentally. Throughout the time we've trained together, he never gave up no matter what I threw at him. You two can continue to spoil him just as he spoils you. But you won't get stronger that way.” Said Master Sylvia
