Chapter 175 - Chapter 175 A New Spell Book

As Thomas woke up he looked around and seen that he was laying down in one of the inn beds with Mira sitting in a chair leaning onto the bed asleep. Thomas stared at her and for a few moments and mumbled "I must've passed out due to blood loss." As Mira opened her eyes she raised her head and stared at Thomas. As she stared at him she looked away and said "I'm sorry." Thomas stared at her confused and asked "Sorry for what?" She glanced back and pointed to his eye as she said "It's grey, and neither you or my father would've gotten hurt if I hadn't done anything." Thomas held his hand over his eye and said "It's grey?" She nodded and said "That means your near death doesn't it?" Thomas took his hand off of his eye and said "Yeah, but I don't feel like I'm about to die." Mira stared at him and said "Please don't die, I don't know what I'll do if my actions cause both you and father to die." Thomas sat up and said "I wouldn't worry about it to much I'm sure it will be fine." Mira pushed him back down and said "You shouldn't move, not until your eye returns to normal." As Mira took her arms away Thomas laid there and said "Apart from all the pain I feel fine, actually I feel like I have more mana then I usually do." Thomas teleported behind her and said "It's strange, when this happened last time I had the same feeling but I just figured it was all in my head." Mira turned around and said "Please sit down." Thomas walked towards the window and asked "Where are the others?" Mira stared at him and said "They're our doing quests, now come lay down." Thomas glanced at her and said "Nah I'm good." As Thomas jumped out of the window Mira began to panic and rushed over to the window as she asked "Are you alright." Thomas glanced up at her and smiled as he said "See told you I'm still in tip top shape." As Thomas began to walk away from the inn Mira rushed down and out of the inn. As she caught up with Thomas she said "Please at least go back to the inn, your bandages will need to be changed momentarily." As Thomas entered a building he said "I'll go back in a minute." As Mira followed him in she said "Fine, but while we're here I'm gonna protect you." Thomas glanced at her and asked "From what, we're in a book shop." Mira looked around and said "I'll protect you from whatever, I just don't want to be held responsible for your death." Thomas stared at her and said "Don't go killing me off." As Thomas grabbed one of the books off of the shelf he said "If you really wanna help me then help me find a new spell book." Mira stared at him and asked "Why?" As Thomas flipped through the book he said "I already learnt all of the spells in mine." Mira turned to the bookshelf and said "Okay but once we find you one we have to go back to the inn." Thomas put the book he had back and said "That's fine with me." After searching through the books for a while Mira handed Thomas a book that read "Powerful spells for amateurs." After Thomas bought the book they began to head back to the inn. As Thomas began to read the new spell book as they walked a man with spear approached them said "I heard a demi human killed the werewolf that killed the noble, are you him?" Thomas glanced at the man and said "The noble?" Mira glanced at him and said "I think he means my father." Thomas stared at the man and said "If your looking for the werewolf's corpse you won't be able to find it." The man stared at Thomas and said "Finding the corpse does me no good, I wish to do battle with the person who slain the werewolf." Thomas continued reading and walked right past him as he said "That sounds fun and all but I'm good." Mira stared at Thomas and asked "But don't you normally fight people who approach you?" Thomas glanced at her and said "My body is aching right now I'd rather not." The man tapped Thomas on the shoulder and said "I wasn't asking you to fight me, I was demanding you fight me." Thomas stared at the man and said "I'd rather not." The man swung the spear towards Thomas's head and said "If you won't make the first strike I will." Before the spear could even come close to Thomas's head Mira stepped in the way grabbed it as she said "He's not interested in fighting you." The man stared at Thomas and asked "Are you really about to let a woman handle your fights." Thomas shrugged and said "Say what you will but your more likely to survive a fight with her then me." The man kicked Mira's feet out from under her and said "I am no amateur, now fight me." Thomas caught Mira as she was falling and said "I'm kinda in the middle of something." As Mira stood up straight the man began to jab at Thomas rapidly with the spear as he shouted "Fight me!" As Thomas dodged each of the spear jabs effortlessly while reading he said "Seems being in a near death state increases my ability to dodge attacks as well." Mira grabbed the spear and stared at Thomas as she said "Please be careful and stop messing around." Thomas closed his book and said "Fine, I'll wrap this up so we can leave." Thomas held his hand at the man and said "You can still give up, your call." As Thomas said this an apple was thrown and hit him in the back. As it hit Thomas some blood came out of his mouth and he fell to the ground as he mumbled "What happened, why do I feel like I've been stabbed." Thomas wiped the blood from his mouth and said "Any damage I take is increased right now, if I were to get a stab wound, I'd probably die." Mira let go of the spear helped Thomas up as she asked "Are you alright." Thomas glanced at her and said "I'm fine." As a lady walked up to Thomas while Mira helped him by letting him lean on her the lady apologized and said "I didn't mean to hit you with the Apple." The man with the spear stared at Thomas and asked "Are you really the one who defeated that werewolf?" Thomas stared at him and lifted the bottom of his shirt revealing the bandages as he said "If you don't believe I did how's this for proof?" The man stared at Thomas and said "You were bitten?" Thomas nodded and said "That's not the only bite I got from him either but I'd like to go now." The man stepped out of the way and said "I have no right to fight an opponent who risked his life in a fight in such a condition." As Mira helped Thomas back to the inn she asked "Are you going to be okay." Thomas glanced at her and said "I should be fine after I rest a little." As they entered the inn room they seen Ocis and Poppy waiting patiently. Ocis stared at Thomas and asked "What happened?" Thomas glanced at her and said "I was hit by an Apple." Ocis stared at his eye and said "But your close to death." Mira set Thomas down on one of the beds and said "His eye was grey when he woke up however it turns out as long as it's grey just about anything can kill him." Poppy stared at Thomas and said "That could be a problem." As Thomas laid down Ocis sat in front of him and said "Then I'll just have to keep an extra close eye on you!" Thomas yawned and said "There's no need for that, I'll just have to be more careful whenever my eye is grey." Poppy stared at him and said "You should just be happy that the grey eye doesn't cause your other one to bleed." Ocis stared at Thomas and nervously said "If your other eye bleeds it could kill you." Thomas nodded and said "Yup, but I don't think it's something we need to worry about." Ocis stared at him and asked "But why not?" Thomas began to fall asleep as he said "If it was gonna bless it would've a while ago." Poppy nodded and said "He's right, if it was gonna bleed he would've been dead hours ago." As Poppy said this Mira stared at her and said "It's all my fault." Poppy stared at her and said "It's not your fault he would've ended up like this either way." Mira looked down at the ground and mumbled "But it really is my fault." As Ocis sat down beside Thomas she said "Poppy's right, he would've ended up like this sooner or later even if he hadn't fought a werewolf." Ocis stared at Mira and said "Think of it this way, you just gave him the chance to get used to the grey eye." Mira stared at her and grinned as she said "I guess your right."
