7 Donst You Have Healing Magic??? (1/2)
Max drifted in and out of consciousness for what seemed to him like days. He saw various pieces and bits of things, some he could recognize and some things he could not. A man long vermilion hair and markings around his eyes who appeared to be carrying him, the face of Mimosa above, and then an unfamiliar ceiling. This was the last thing he saw before he passed out for good, drifting off to realm of unconscious people.
Max hated the feeling of being unconscious, it wasnt the same as being asleep. Sleep was comforting, refreshing and you never really know when you drift off to sleep, you just nod off without even realizing it. Being unconscious however was an entirely different sensation from sleep, one in which you were forced into a state of dormancy, where you felt as if you were floating in an endless sea of darkness. The only good part about being unconscious was the part where you woke up, the relief spreading throughout your very being.

Max barely had time to read the popup that appeared in his head before it vanished, almost as fast as it had come. A wave of energy passed over him, feeling began to return to his body, and finally he was able to open his eyes.
The unfamiliar ceiling didn't surprise him too much as he had caught a glimpse of it earlier. No, what surprised him the most was that the tall figure with vermilion hair was still in the room, standing in the corner, his eyes never leaving Max. Max's own eyes met his, and the man smiled before walking up to him, though slowly and with traces of caution in his steps, as if he found Max to be some sort ofdangerous entity.
”Good, your awake....its good to see that you woke up, and only a day after you nearly died.” The man said with a rather deep voice. ”My name's Fuegoleon Vermilion, its a pleasure to meet you.”
Max didnt know what to say, or rather anything he did say would've been inappropriate to say in the current situation. It was far too soon for him to meet with the captain of the currently ranked #2 magic knight squad in the Clover Kingdom. He couldn't figure out if his luck was good or freaking horrible, just that it was 6 months too early to meet a captain without mental preparation.
”Yes,” was all he managed to get out as Max attempted to sit up. However, right in the middle of pushing himself up, a sharp pain exploded across various areas on his chest, stomach, and thighs. The feeling was excruciatingly painful, causing him to fall back onto his back. It was then that Max noticed the numerous bandages that surrounded his body.
The blanket had hidden them from his sight and he didnt exactly feel them when he woke up, but he wasn't too surprised as he knew he was wounded from battle. However, recalling what the Fuegoleon had just said, it seemed that he had been on the verge of death. The last attack.....he remembered it clearly as if it had just happened, the spears of water flying towards him while he stood there helplessly without any mana left in his system. The image was quite haunting!
”You shouldn't be trying to get up so soon after we bandaged you or you'll just reopen up those wounds.” Fuegoleon explained sitting in the edge of the bed. ”To be honest your lucky to even be alive, since Mimosa completey refused to heal you. She said that you should take it as punishment for acting recklessly. Although I think she had a different reason altogether for not healing you.”
”What reason would that be?” Max asked curiously as the pain began to fade into a light throbbing sensation. He couldn't understand the reason why she would just leave him hanging, other then the fact that he had been to cocky and reckless. If he had used his grimoire from the start, he no doubt would've been hurt a lot less or maybe even have won the fight.
”Think about it, we're currently in one if the manor that houses the nobles and royals of House Vermilion, can you guess whose house it is?” Fuegoleon asked with a small smirk, acting like a patient teacher lecturing a student.
”Yours?” Max asked, though not totally serious as he had already guessed who house it was, but it seemed ridiculous when you think about it. He had barely met the girl yesterday, and he had even lied to her about a number of things, he certainly wasn't anyone that deserved to be treated kindly.
