Couldn't Believe...

Chapter 85

In the training ground, Friday at 5 p.m...

"Alright, let's begin with some stretching"
"... Stretching?"
"Yes. Start."
"Okay" *stretching*

...

10 minutes later...

"More"
"Eh? More?"
"Yes. I'm the coach here."
"... Alright" *stretching*

Good boy.

...

15 minutes later...

"Black Akari, I can't continue anymore"
"Bear with it a little longer"
"... Okay" *stretching*

Just a little more.

...

5 minutes later...

"You can stop"
*phew* "Thank you"
"Now I want to see how good you are at sword fighting"
"... Sword fighting?"
"Yes. Here, you can use this sword" *hands over*
"A wooden sword?"
"Yes. It's safer this way"

As if.

"Oh, okay"
*takes a wooden sword* "Let's start. Show me what you've got"
*attack*
*clang clang*

He's really bad at it. I should go easier on him, but...

*slash*
"Woah!"

... Seeing him like this is so much fun.

"What are you doing? Don't tell me you gave up this easily?"
"No way!"

There's no way I'd give up! I'll impress her with my skills!

*attack* "Here I come"
*clang clang*
*slash*
"Ouch!"
"Is that all you've got? Are you serious?"
*cough*

Now let's add fuel to the fire~

"Eluma's way better than you"
"!"

THIS GUY IS NO MATCH FOR ME! I'LL SHOW HER THAT I'M MORE SUITED TO BE BY HER SIDE!

*attack* "HAAAA!"
*smirk*
*leg hurts* "Eugh"

My leg hurts because of the stretching, but I can't give up!

*clang clang*

Oh but you don't need to give up, because I'll make you stop.

*trip*
"WOAH!" *falls down*
*smirk* "Oh my god, are you alright?!"
"Yes, I- OUCH!"
"Careful not to hurt yourself!" *helps*
"... Thank you- eugh!"

Black Akari is still kind hearted. She's helping me-

"Yamel?! What happened?!"
"... Nothing, I just fell down while training"
"Oh my god, are you alright?!"
"I- OUCH!"
"Careful!"

I did well by giving them a break right now. They only saw him on the ground.

*turn* "YOU, WHAT KIND OF TRAINING IS THAT?!"
"... A training worthy of this academy."
"YOU B-"
"Monica, Black Akari did nothing wrong. I just fell, and it's my fault. So stop blaming her"
"..." *angry*

I should've expected that. Of course, he'd defend her.

"Can you help me"
*sigh* "Alright"
"I'll also help."
"!"
"No-"
"Thank you"
"!"
*nod*

Black Akari was sweet enough to help me get up. Monica shouldn't overthink this.

*tries to get up* "OUCH!"
"What is it?!"
"I, I can't walk on it"
"... Could it be broken?"
"I don't know, but it hurts so much"
"Call the doctor"
*nod* "Maria, go and call him!"
"... Alright"

Seriously, ordering her around, is she a toy or something?

...

A few minutes later...

"Yes, it's broken."
"!"
"Oh my god!"
"Is it really bad?!"
"Well, he needs to be examined first at the hospital, but I'm sure he will need a splint."
"Let's go to the hospital first!"
"You can use magic to carry him"
*nod*
"We'll go with you"
"... Okay. Let's go, dear"
"... Alright"
*woosh*
"Thank you, doctor."
"You're welcome. I'll take my leave then"
*nod*
*leaves*
*woosh*
"Satisfied?"
"Yep! I'm so excited to see what will happen to him"
"Well, same here"
"By the way, Hexy. Did you see Diane today? I was busy preparing for this lesson, so I couldn't visit her."
"Don't worry, she's fine now. It has been almost 3 weeks now."
"That's a relief"

I know it's been this long, but since it's not a normal cold, it takes longer to heal. Plus, it's my fault for not being powerful enough.

"Anyway, where's Eluma?"
"He's still working. If you want, you can go to the hospital now, and we'll meet you there"
"Alright, see you"
*nod*
*woosh*

...

At the hospital...

"So, what happened?"
"Black Akari!"
"His leg is broken. Though it is not that serious, he still needs a splint, and it will take him at least 4 weeks before he can start walking again."
"Oh my god!"
"Does this mean that he won't be able to go to school?"
"Well, for the time being, it'd be better if he stays at home and rests."
"..."

Only 4 weeks? I should've tortured him more, but this much is not bad either.

*tok tok*
*clack*
"... What are you doing here, Eluma?"
"I heard about what happened, so I came to check on you."
"No need. Black Akari's here, and that's enough"
"Yamel, you shouldn't get angry at him like that."
"..."
"Anyway, let's do the rest of the exams before applying the splint, alright?"
*nod*
"Then, we'll take our leave-"
"Black Akari!"
"?"
"Thank you for helping me out"
*nod*
*woosh*
"You don't have to thank her"
"She did help me though. It is only right to thank her"
"..."
