Chapter 95 - 95. The Calm Before The Storm (1/2)

Time passed, and another day came.

Mack woke up and took a bath, then ate some fruits.

He could easily ignore all those things, and pass days without sleep or eating, let alone taking a bath. But Mack enjoyed doing those small things.

He enjoyed the taste of the food, the freshness that came after a bath and, above all, he loved having dreams during his sleep.

Mack knew he could avoid those 'routine' tasks if needed, but if he could, he would keep his days as usual. After all, he was raised as a normal human from Earth, and habits are hard to die.

Mack routine had become a little different from before, because now he would train his sword style for hours a day.

Usually he liked to study runes by the morning and practice sword forms by afternoon, but since he came back to Earth, he had nothing to study.. Because of that, Mack focused completely on his sword style now.

After a few hours of practice, Mack stopped to drink some water and to eat another fruit.

Walking to the kitchen of the penthouse by the corner of the eye while passing a room, Mack saw the old man using a device that looked similar to a smartphone but also completely different, it was fully made of something akin to glass, but was smooth dark and no light was reflected from it.

Mack's curiosity was picked and could not avoid asking.

”Hey old man, what is this thing in your hand? It's a smartphone?”

The old man touched the device a few times, and it vanished in his hand.

[Yes, similar, don't you know it's rude to peek?]

Said Harlack, turning to where Mack was.

”I seriously doubt that I will be able to do that. You have too many tricks”

[What do you want?]

Asked Harlack, with an annoyed tone

”Nothing, I was just passing by and saw that thing in your hand and got curious, that's all”

[Kid, don't you have other things to care? If I don't see any improvement by the end of the day I will give you a beating, I swear]

”Ok, Ok, leaving.”

Said Mack, already leaving the room, but by the corner of his eyes he could see the old man taking the device out again.

Mack went to the kitchen, and Harlack started to press some buttons on the device.

Harlack looked back and to the device again.

(Unknown: 'Harlack, you said that he killed everyone in the airport, but I don't see that as a problem')

(Me: 'Why do you think so?')

(Unknown: 'Didn't you said he got rid of the purple spectrum? This is good news, ')

(Unknown: 'The airport incident, I think, is normal because of the way he was raised, alone, with no one to relate but his father. Also, how many people did we kill when young? I lost the count before I turned 15 years.')

(Me: 'Alright, I will stop wondering about that')

(Unknown: 'Did you already choose the tower you will send him? I need to inform the Master of the tower about his arrival.')

(Me: 'Yes, but is not one of ours.')
