64 Please heal me (1/2)
When Leon snapped out his thoughts, he realized he was making a very scary face in front of Lina, which made her seem frightened.
”Sorry.” He smiled awkwardly.
”I-It's fine...” Lina replied in very soft mumbled voice with her head down. She was startled Leon could have such a scary expression.
She was just concerned about him. If he didn't want to talk about what happened, then he doesn't have to. There's no need to give her such a look, right? She felt a bit wronged, but being the older one, she thought she should be more open-minded and bicker with him.
Their small talk descended into silence. Leon inspected the state of his body in detail and gave a self-depreciating smile.
The healing pills did not heal his body well. He could still feel the medicinal efficiency working on his body, but the recovery rate was slow. He suffered too many wounds. Tier 1 healing pills weren't effective enough for him.
”Do you have my bag?” He suddenly asked.
”Yeah... but what do you want to do with the empty bag?”
”Oh...never mind.” Leon lapsed into silence. He was going to use the bag as a pretense to take out some Golden Ointment from his world space to rub on his external wounds. But since his bag had been searched, he dropped the idea. He didn't want to deal with troublesome explanations.
”You bandaged me pretty well.” Leon suddenly complimented. Due to suffering wounds to various parts of his body, he was wrapped up like a mummy.
”Thank you...” Lina flushed with embarrassment at his compliment. She had to remove his clothes in order to bandage all his wounds.
She was drawn to his body, while she was bandaging him. She wasn't sure if it was because she was already attracted to him or curiosity towards the body of the opposite sex.
His body wasn't big, but he was tall and lean. His muscles seemed lacking, but they were packed with power underneath.
She couldn't help but touch and roam his body a bit. It was like the devil's whisper when no one would know what she would do.
Mia was relieved when someone was willing save her big brother. She was struck with weariness after her relief and fell asleep as soon as she hit the bed.
If Mia had suddenly woke up and saw how she was touching Leon, she would want to find a hole to hide in.
If Mia said something like ”Big sister is perverted,” It would have been the finishing blow and she would never crawl out. But that is all just a what if.
Her guilty conscience made her heartbeat quicken when the bandaging was mentioned.
Leon didn't know his body was taken advantage of and just thought his teacher was not used to taking compliments.
”Umm... I don't really know how to control my ability yet...” Lina bit her lips. She would have done it if she could. Did he think she like seeing him in such a horrible state?
She had only recently awakened and had not received prior training or knowledge.
There wasn't any reason to as it was public knowledge that those who drink the Water of Absolute Nothingness could never awaken for the rest of their lives so her parents never taught her when she was younger.
Leon seem to have forgotten that everyone else did not have a strong soul and powerful divine sense ability like him. It might be easy for him to use his ability upon awakening due to it and his 2 dozen odd years of playing with fire, but the same could not be said for the others.
They had to learn and practice their ability slowly like normal first-time awakeners would. What he asked was a bit insensitive.
”I'm sorry... that was insensitive of me...” Leon apologized.
”It's fine... My father or mother might have been able to help... but their abilities have been sealed.” Lina tried to appear nonchalant to hide what was on her mind. She wished Leon could cure her parents, but it was inappropriate to ask with his present condition.
”I can go cure them now but how will you repay me after?” Leon said with a teasing tone and hidden implications in his words. He sensed her unnatural behavior and figured what was on her mind. Her expressions were quite cute. It was at least better than when she is in teacher mode.
”No way... how could I make you do that?” Her face grew red. She could sense his teasing tone. Was this considered flirting? Did Leon like her?
