Halym tried to understand this situation. Rhen's expression and anger right now were totally not making any sense to him.
"Rh...Rhen? mocking? i've never intended to mock you"
"I SEE....-fuuh-" Rhen closed his eyes
Halym stood up and felt his arms shaking from Rhen's signature impact. If he's not equipped with crimson eater on his arms, his arms were totally gonna be broken.
"I'm sorry Rhen...I..."
"what're you doing? we are still in sparing, aren't we?"
Rhen took his stance again.
"o..ok" Halym still felt confused
He took his stance again, though his arms still felt quite numb from Rhen's signature impact.
"what's Rhen talking about? mocking? -kggh- my arms are hurt....why i can't feel or see Rhen's attack back then?" Halym's mumbling mode on
Rhen's zero step changed its dragon head like position.
When he did his
-craak- those black golden arrow like slided from the dragon heads and formed a claw shape and the tip of each dragon head was bent making an absolute claw looks.
This indicated Rhen will do a different attack's pattern than what he did last time.
"claw mode"
-whuung- the moment Rhen said that, a golden light could be seen from each of his "claw". It's only mean a danger situation for Halym.
Rhen made his move. He dashed to Halym's direction with a hi-speed move and targeted Halym's center body with a slash attack.
-zhiing-
Halym could react to that and jumped one step to the back, but Rhen already anticipated that and dashed again for closing their gap.
"wha!! it's totally different when i practiced with those shadow this morning!"
Halym didn't think that Rhen could move that fast.
Rhen raised his left hand and Halym remembered what kind of attack that would be come from that gesture.
"cra...."
-baaaam-
Halym got Rhen's signature again. He tried to not fly again this time and held it by anchoring his feet to the ground.
-zuuuurr-
He kept dragged for a few meters before he finally could stop.
-kgggh- "so heavy...i almost can't feel my arms... Hey Rhen, don't you think this is enou..."
Halym looked to his front and saw Rhen already did his stance.
He spreaded down his arms about 45 degrees and his claws were ready.
-fuuuh-
Rhen took a deep breath and..
-zhiiiiing-
A cross shape golden slash attack ravaged Halym's guard. Halym's crimson eater was having some scratch mark on its surface, even though it created from the strongest steel.
That's showing how strong Rhen's signature is.
-brrughh-
Halym's down.
That's it. He couldn't feel his arms anymore. For someone who never fought before in his entire life, this kind of intense fight with an A rank fighter was super scary, regardless he used an S rank fighter's body.
It's about his mental, not physical.
Rhen was looking down to his sparring partner. An anger looks still could be looked from his eyes, meanwhile Halym's confused expression was looking to his eyes.
"HOW?"
"wha..Rhe....Rhen... i don't understand. Why you suddenly take our sparring this far?!"
"-tch- this far? seriously..., o the mighty Arva?! child of origin?! perfect fighter?! absolute king?!!"
"that's why i ask you Rhen! what's wrong with you! i agree to spare with you!! yet you said i'm mocking you?! mother of origin...i don't get it at all"
"i see.... let me tell you then Arva. You said you want to help me by sparring with me.... yet you don't use your crimson eater... not using any energy enchanment in your body.. let alone any signature... what? i'm not worthy enough to become your opponent? this filthy A rank fighter is not good enough?"
Haylm showed a quite dumb face after hearing Rhen's explanation. He finally understood about Rhen's strange behaviour from earlier.
"...Rhen.. i'm sorry. Listen! this is just a misunderstanding! I.."
"yeah.. we will talk after you see me as an equal opponent"
Rhen raised his claw and got ready to attack again. The only thing that Halym could do was only seeing that in his position.
"mother of origin..... will i be dead here?" Halym thought with despair feeling
-zhiiing-
Rhen's claw was brandished toward Halym's head and...
-traaaang-
A clanging sound could be heard. Rhen didn't expect that his attack would be blocked by someone's hand.
"that's enough sir Rhen. Judging from young master reaction, your action is already too far"
Nanika blocked Rhen's attack while gives him a warning.
"ho....now an androdyne thinks that she can threat me? really?"
"your words is not relevant sir Rhen. I'm not threatening anyone. It's my duty to protect young master. Could you stop this at once?"
Nanika calm voice responded to Rhen question.
"NANIKA!!!! you're really a realiable ally!!!" Halym screamed in his mind
"-sigh- MOVE"
-dhaar-
Rhen enhanced his foot with energy and kicks Nanika.
Nanika pushed around two meters before she's landing on the ground then Rhen continued his attack towards Halym.
Nanika won't let that happen, so she dashed towards Rhen.
"i did give you a warning sir Rhen"
Nanika activated her battle mode. Her arms glowed and emitted blue light that looked like vein. She's ready to exterminate any threat to her young master.
"Nanika!! wai..." Halym tried to warn her
Too late, Rhen already raised his hand towards Nanika. She was in Rhen's signature attack range.
-baaamm-
Nanika tried to block it with her two battle mode arms, yet it was futile.
She's flying about 7 meters before she's lying on the ground. Her two arms were destroyed and her body center was damaged, that could be shown by her torn maid uniform.
Halym was shock. He didn't think Rhen would go that far.
He's angry because Rhen hurts Nanika, He's afraid because he can't move, and he felt so powerless. Meanwhile in front of him, Rhen used his signature.
(can't lose..... father's hope... Nanika...)
"eh.....?" Halym heard Arva's voice
-zhiiiing-
"wha...?!"
-whuuup-
His signature was gone. It felt like it had been wiped out.
Then, he saw Halym stood up with his fully activated crimson eater. He felt a chilly atmosphere coming from Halym.
"...hm, this is too far"
A cold gaze could be felt by Rhen. That gaze was like coming from inhuman eyes.
It was so empty, so emotionless, yet an arrogant gaze could be felt from it.
"haha...now you want to do it properly Arva. Let's we continue then"
-whuuung-
Rhen enhanced his whole body with energy. His physical state was boosted and he's getting far stronger now.
-fuuh- "hup!"
Rhen dashed towards Halym and raised both of his arms. His opponent was already in his signature attack range.
"hm, i said.."
Halym still didn't move.
-baaaammm-
A huge pressure could be felt in the air.
Rhen signature was really giving a huge impact yet he didn't see Halym figure flying in front of him.
"where's....."
He was too late to realize that Halym dodge his attack by ducking it. Not only that, Halym made a claw shape like by bending his fingers.
Rhen couldn't react, it was happen in an instance.
-dhaaaar-
Rhen got blasted by Halym's signature for about ten meters and he's not moving again.
"...you're too far"
Halym finished his words.
-----++-----
"....lym....Halym....can you hear me?"
Raninta's voice could be heard vaguely.
"give him time Raninta. We already check and his body is not receiving that much damage"
"i know doc, but.."
".....hm, it worked"
Arva woke up and took a sit position.
"Halym!! thanks mother of origin! are you really okay? nothing wrong with your body?"
Raninta grabbed Arva's shoulder and showed a glad expression.
"I'm okay Raninta. Thank you"
"humm, as long as you're okay. -sigh- those barbaric men. I'm really pissed off whenever I remember that"
"hm, about that.."
"wait a minute Halym.. can I ask you something?"
"sure doctor. What's wrong?"
"you know.... you have just got knocked by Banri's attack directly. How come you only have little damage on your body? well, that's a good thing tho"
"hm, about that. I focused all my center energy's flow body to create an energy barrier. Tho I don't expect his attack can penetrate it"
"I see. Ahaha, of course that's because your body is..." doctor almost said that
"wait a minutes. Energy barrier? since when you can do that Halym?"
Arva was silent. Well, he never lied in his entire life.
He didn't need to. But he knew, he couldn't give a direct answer too. At least, not until he discussed it with Abhin and Halym.
"Halym? how you can do that? you even can make Jaron flying with that sort of attack"
Raninta kept pushing her questions.
"..hm, I just can do it when I'm thinking about it"
Arva gave his best lie that he could give.
"wha..... Halym..why are you lying to me?"
Raninta could see through Arva's lie instantly.
"that origin boy..."
Doctor didn't think that Arva couldn't lie.
"-ehem- I...I think you should tell her Halym. Your secret training in Allex plaza every Sunday morning"
Doctor was trying at his best to follow up.
"secret training? what's that Halym? is it true?"
"hm.... that's secret training...yes, I do secret training to improve my energy control"
"hee, I see. So you don't throw your dream to become a fighter! waah, I totally don't know you very well Halym! aunty will be proud of you!"
"hm, I'll never fail my mother's hope" Arva would be Arva
"seriously though! you can use signature and create an energy barrier? that's in D or C rank fighter level! what kind of training that you do Halym?! I've never heard a training method that can allow someone to use signature at non-fighter level!!"
Raninta maniac mode was on.
"hm, that's really a hard question"
"well!! Raninta! why don't we let him rest for awhile!!"
"eh, why?! I need to know what kind of training method that he use doctor!!"
"well... wouldn't you be late for your routine check? it's already 7:15 now"
Doctor changed the topic.
"ah crap! you're right doctor!! I'll go then! Halym, make sure you're getting enough rest!" Raninta went in a hurry
-whuung-
Raninta's EBW engine roared up on the street and finally Arva and doctor could rest for awhile.
"geez origin boy! have you never lied before?!"
"hm, I never do that doctor. I don't know the merit by doing so"
"you.....haaah never mind. Try to learn it from now on, we need that until you can get back to your body"
"got it doctor" Arva replied instantly
Doctor took two bottles of minea and gave one for Arva.
"this drink.. almost taste like melln tea with milk. Hm, but something is missing"
(*melln = one from best three tea's type in the country)
"-pfft- melln? of course it's different origin boy! this is a normal tea with milk and mint leaf!"
"I see. No wonder its taste is different" Arva nodded
"just...drink it and get some rest before you get back home"
"before that doctor. Can I ask you something?"
"hm? sure, what is it?"
"why are those three men bugging you and Raninta? they even do some violence. Hm, it must be something serious"
"haaah.. those punk? they're Bhoren's men. They get order to persuade us for closing this clinic. At first, they only do some little harassment, but now... as you can see, they're getting desperate"
"why would this Bhoren want to close this clinic?"
"beats me. I'm asking the same question to Jaron and Banri, and they just told me to do what they say. They even want to pay some compensation money for me. those kids, I wonder they really know what it's mean to close this clinic"
"hm, then can you please tell me where's this Bhoren's place doctor?"
"and...why would you want to know that?"
"I want to go there and ask him myself. Hm, that's the most efficient way to deal this problem"
"efficient? geez... origin boy, let me ask you something first"
"sure doctor"
"if I give you Bhoren's location, how would you take care about Jaron and Banri? not only them, Bhoren still have more men in there"
"hm, i only want to ask his reason why he's doing all of that thing to you and Raninta"
"and you think he's gonna welcome you and give you what you want?"
"give me answer? yes?"
Doctor was looking Arva with a sceptical face. He kinda understand Abhin's feeling when he had to deal with Arva super simple mind set.
"listen origin boy, Bhoren is definitely not gonna meet you, and you will face Jaron and Banri for sure. That's the situation you would likely to encounter"
"hmm... I don't know you have to face that kind of complicated situation only to ask someone. Strange"
"no it's not. Remember, you are in Halym's body now. If it's your old body, then I'm pretty sure everything will be simple thing for you. You have power and everything you need to do that"
"I see, so this body makes several options become unavailable"
"well.. not just that body. Basically, almost every people have their limitation with their choice"
"hm, then I will consider another option"
"good. I'm glad you can accept your condition that quickly"
(open.....shop.....must.....back...)
"hm, seems like I need to go back now doctor"
"is that so? well, go then. Try not to get into trouble on your way home origin boy"
"I'll remember that doctor"
Arva said good bye to doctor and left the clinic.
He observed the scenery around him. First tier of sunra's district, the lowest income in the entire country. Arva would expect a lot worse condition rather than Kharsa or Bharna's district.
Yet, he was seeing more positive look rather than negative on people face here.
Their body energy flow was far more stable than people in upper city. That's mean people in here were moving their body regulary more than people in upper city.
-dzeet- spark pain in his left leg could be felt again.
"hm, I must find solution for this energy's flow contradiction in my left leg. So I can have more available options with this body"
Arva was thinking for awhile.
"hm.. so that's why he was mumbling.. he didn't have many options for his life... I still believe he can find other solution, but now I know apparently that's not so easy to do for most of the people"
Arva continued his way back to his home, but he saw some people gathered around the alley. He remembered doctor's advise.
"hm, I better take another route"
Arva turned right and took the main street.
He could see so many people doing so many activities. Children's voice, energic adult's voice, music, so many things blended into one.
That was a public market in the first tier of sunra's district, where majority of the people got their income.
For Arva, this was definitely a rare sight. Although he's doing many visits to lower city with Abhin, they only went to plaza or social center to meet many people. So this was the first time Arva seeing a public market.
"interesting, it is like a festival or party situation"
Meat, fruit, vegetables, and many daily needs were sold here, so crowded situation was an obvious thing.
Arva kept walking while observing his surrounding. When he arrived at the end of the public market's area, He's seeing a familiar face.
A woman around her 40s with a lean 158 cm body and her braided long black hair sat in the tanna stall with a boy with 80 cm and short dark crimson hair.
"aaa!! look!! mama!! it's the one who told me to not cry when papa hit you!"
An energic kid's voice could be heard.
"hey Lin! it's not proper to shout somebody like that" Lin's mother warned her son
"i'm sorry mama"
Arva approached them. He remembered that this kid was the one who almost got crashed by Abhin on that day, and he also met them when he and Abhin did their visit to lower city last week.
"She is the one who need help to pay her husband's debt, and her son almost got crashed by Abhin" Arva confirmed his memory
"ah, i've heard you from Lin. You saved him when he almost got crashed by someone. I can't thank you enough"
Lin's mother stood and bowed to show her gratitude.
"hm, no need to thank me madam. I'm just doing what i can do"
"!! madam... you're a polite young man. Please call me Ara"
she's feeling weird being called madam.
"hm, i get it. No need to thank me miss Ara"
"you're Halym right? i know your mom since we were teenager"
"you're right miss Ara. I'm Halym, Tyan's son"
Lin grabbed Arva's hand and asking him question.
"hey are you okay? i see you're not moving when you got crashed by that EBW? was doctor from the clinic save you?"
"hm, it's true. The doctor did save me"
"ahaha, i knew it!! mama, doctor is really an awesome person!!"
"yes, yes i know Lin. He saved mama for many times too" Ara smiled
"then.. why papa want the doctor to close his clinic? i don't understand" Lin tilted his head
Ara showed a panic face and tried to shut Lin before he spoke any further.
"Lin, you don't have to worry about such a thing. That's an adult problem"
"hee, but i want to know.."
Lin didn't satisfied with his mother's answer.
"just help me with this tanna Lin"
"ah, ok mama" Lin helped his mother
"ah, Halym please take this tanna as my gratitude"
Ara gave two wrapped tanna to Arva.
"hm, wouldn't you get a minus income by giving me this miss Ara?"
"waah, to think Tyan's son is a mature son like this. -smile- don't worry about it Halym, i'm really grateful when you saved my son" Ara pushed it to Arva
"hm, then i'll take it. Can i ask you about something miss Ara?"
"sure Halym, what is it?"
"Lin said something about his father want to close the clinic. Do you know why?"
"!! that is..." Ara hesitated for a moment
"..... my husband said it is an order from Bhoren, and he will get a lot of money if he success to do that. That's the only thing that i know"
"hm, thank you miss Ara. That will become an useful information for me" Arva nodded
"for you? why?"
Should he lie? or telling the truth? while Arva thought too much about it, his body automatically responded.
"i'm just heard the rumor about it miss Ara, so i get curious. That's all"
"ah, i see. -sigh- why he always do bad thing like that..." Ara mumbled about her husband
"i'll take my leave then miss Ara, Lin"
Arva wanted to get back home as soon as possible.
"ah, take care Halym. Tell Tyan i say hello"
"hm, sure miss Ara. I will tell your message"
"bye bye Halym!"
Lin waved to him with energic voice.
"hm, see you Lin"
Arva replied and left Ara and Lin.
"-fuuh- to think Tyan has a polite and responsible son like that.. so her and her husband sacrifice are meant something huh?"
Ara talked to herself while seeing Arva disappeared from her sight
-----++-----
[rebooting... starting second energy cell... preparing sensor....calculating damage..]
-niin-
Nanika slowly opened her eyes. She's still waiting her energy flow spreading to her whole body.
"Nanika, are you okay?"
Halym kneeled near Nanika.
"young master... forgive me for my weakness. I'm really glad that you're fine" Nanika tone was slightly down
"it's allright Nanika! you're really saved me back there"
".....this shameful condition is proof of my incapability as your androdyne and head maid young master" Nanika said her conclusion
"-fuuh- at least you're okay Nanika, and I hope Rhen will be back to his sense when he wakes up"
Halym's feeling tired from sparring earlier.
" "the okay" condition is referring to my brain and energy's core young master. As long as those two parts are not damaged, whatever happens with other part of my body is doesn't matter"
"well... if you said so Nanika"
Halym rested and tried to catch his breath. All that sparring thing with Rhen was really intense, that's the first battle for him.
"that is an A rank fighter fighting skill...with my old body, I'm pretty sure I can't see any Rhen's attack.. -sigh-"
Halym realized something important.
"wait... how I can train these fighters? my incapability with energy already cause Rhen thought that I mocked him... and if I remembered correctly.... there is one S rank fighter too in this morning practice...crap..."
"young master, the rest of the fighters already on their way to this room" Nanika reported the current situation
"-sigh- let see the situation first, maybe i can use Rhen's berserk sparring as an excuse to skip this morning training"
Dealing with problem was a part of Halym's daily life after all.
Halym stood up and tried to calm himself. He didn't want to look weird or something that's gonna misleading those fighters like Rhen did.
-whiiin-
The training room door opened and two figures entered the room and walked down to the training ground.
the first figure was a 166cm height with short and quite spikey golden hair. He had sharp eyes yet they didn't feel intimidating, rather feel warm.
With his casual jacket that had lotus symbol on it and casual training pants, anyone would guess that he was an easy-going type of person.
"hey Ar!!! looks like you already teach Rhen some lesson here"
"yup....here's come the first trouble" Halym prepared his mind
"hey Kerly.. Rhen took it too far when we were sparring"
Wenkerline, one of S rank fighter in Sahasrara family. Good thing Halym could trigger Arva's memory this time.
Arva only had two friends (that's what common people would see it) in his entire life, Abhin and Wenkerline. Both of them had one similarity, they approached Arva first. While Abhin did that by talking to Arva, Wenkerline did it by clinging and "bothering" Arva whenever he had the chance.
The result of Wenkerline's "effort" to make friend with Arva, they agreed to call each other with a nickname. Thus, Arva called "Ar" and Wenkerline called "Kerly".
"too far? what do you mean Ar....."
"good morning sir Wen, forgive me, i can't give you a proper greeting"
Nanika said that on the ground while lying and waiting her energy flow to spread evenly in her body.
"wooah! Nanika! you're suprising me! ....Rhen did this to you?"
"yes sir Wen. But i'm the one that failed my duty to protect young master."
"ahaha, don't mind it Nanika! even me can't do that! who can protect Ar? -smile-" said Wen with light voice
"...you're right sir Wen. If we look into young master's combat ability, no one in this country would be sufficient enough to protect young master"
Nanika's expression didn't change, but somehow she's showing suprised reaction.
"do you realize it just now Nanika?" Wen shook his head
"but really.... he even destroy your arms.... that idiot. He's supposed to know how much it will cost to rebuild Nanika -sigh-, hey Phan! how's Rhen condition?"
"he..is..okay. He's only faint sir Wen" Phan answered with a weak voice
Phan was an A rank fighter just like Rhen. He had 184cm big muscular body and timid face. he wore black short shirt and casual training pants. His short hair had purple colour like Sahasrara's family symbol.
"good then. Hey Ar! let's we start the training then!"
Wen talked to him in a high tension.
"erm... about that Kerly.. can we postpone it? i'm kinda exhausted after sparring with Rhen"
"exhausted?"
Wen were looking at Halym intensely.
"wha...what?"
"hmm, your energy capacity is still more than 90% Ar, how can you become exhausted?"
"we..well, i don't feel really good since i woke up this morning"
"it's true sir Wen. Young master is having several uncommon condition and behaviour since yesterday" Nanika confirmed it
"yesterday? hoo, your schedule to going to lower city with that red swallow? like i said, it's more fun if you go with me Ar! ahaha"
"yes.. so that's the condition Kerly"
"hmm, it's ok then. I'll train Rhen and Phan before they get the training from you. See ya Ar!"
Wen went back and waved his hand.
"Phan. bring Rhen to the infirmary"
"o.....ok sir Wen"
Phan carried Rhen easily and those two disappeared from Halym's sight.
"-sigh- somehow i can take care that problem" Halym wanted to mumble
"-srug- energy flow is stable. Ready to wake up"
Nanika tried to stand slowly
"here, let me help you Nanika"
"thank you young master"
Nanika wanted to bow but her current body condition was prevented her to do so
"so, where we gonna fix you Nanika?"
"in research department room young master"
"ok"
"i'll contact professor Lormhan about my condition young master"
-diiin-
Nanika's call got a response.
"yes? Nanika? what's wrong?"
"professor, i'm sorry. I broke my arms when fighting with sir Rhen this morning"
She reported it with her flat tone.
"-sigh- Rhen? rank A? that's obviously gonna happen Nanika. Your combat ability still can't handle A rank fighter" Lormhan shook his head
"forgive me professor. that's a necessary action for protecting young master"
"protecting Arva? from Rhen? now that's totally unexpected condition.. just come here, i'll see the damage"
"understood professor" Nanika ended her call
They went to the research department room within the same floor and professor was checking Nanika condition.
"hmm.... luckily, your core and brain are not damaged. Your arms are not broken in the joint part, so it won't hard to fix it. But still.... it is destroyed to this extend... so rank A signature can break steel easily, even tho Nanika arms are already enchanted with energy chain armor system... need to improve that part then.."
Lormhan stopped his analysis and looked towards Halym, followed by Nanika.
"huh? what's wrong?" Halym confused
"Arva? why you just stand there? don't you have anything else to do?"
"i suggest to take a break to recover your stamina young master" Nanika gave her suggestion
"ah crap. so i'm not supposed to wait here"
Halym just realized the meaning of their looks.
"don't worry young master. I'll send some maid to replace my position while i'm being repaired by professor" Nanika tried to read the situation
"o..ok Nanika. Then i'll leave"
Halym left the room and dissapeared from they sight. While professor did his work to fix Nanika, he concerned with something too.
"Nanika? it is just me or Arva kinda different today?"
"young master said that he exhausted from yesterday trip to the lower city professor. I also have several records about young master uncommon reaction and behaviour"
"hoo, let me look into it later"
"understood professor"
Halym went back into his room. Today sparring really opened his eyes about fighting between fighters.
He wanted to enter that kind of world without knowing the risk...
"i know sir Rhen is an A rank fighter.. but if i'm using my old body fighting a F or E rank fighter, the result would be worse than today sparring....-sigh-"
Then he remembered he must attended the party at Vishuddha's family mansion tonight. He realized that he didn't know anything about the family.
"better i'm looking for some kind of information, so i won't screw up this time"
-tliing- He opened his SAI.
"Vishuddha family..one from seven great family...located in Kharsa center district.... has more than one thousand members with more than 200 fighters....wow..."
"let see....eldest daughter of Vishuddha family... ah i want to see her image first....woaah...she is super beautiful..."
Halym saw a woman's potrait in his SAI.
Her beautiful face with a long soft blue hair match perfectly. Her height around 177cm with slim and long leg really made her having this "model" aura. Elegant, would be the perfect word to describe her.
"her name is Khana Vishuddha... an S rank fighter..... number three!! woaah....so strong.... to think sir Arva is far stronger than her and other S rank fighter.... why a great person like that come to lower city?"
Halym spent his time to get more information about Vishuddha family, when suddenly he got a call from Abhin.
-diin- "hoi Halym! how're you doing in that mansion?" Abhin voice could be heard
"sir Abhin! it feels like i want to cry -sigh- so many crazy things happen here"
"ahahaha. really? well, guess you still can't catch up with the upper city's lifestyle huh?"
"it's just not about life style sir Abhin! i did sparring with sir Rhen!!"
"....wait.. what? Rhen? the golden dragon? heh! he's not that strong you know!" Abhin sounded pissed off
"he is totally strong for non-fighter like me sir Abhin!"
"hee.. even tho you're using Arva's body?"
"that's the problem..... i can't use this body at all"
"hmmm, let's figure that out together then"
"really?! thank you sir Abhin!!"
"ahaha. relax Halym! like i said, this is 90% my responsibility. Wait.. i don't call you for talking about that.."
"ah, you're right. What's wrong sir Abhin?"
"i'm currently checking guest list at Vishuddha's family party tonight, and i'm seeing Arva's name! it's never happen before Halym!"
"eh...what do you mean sir Abhin? is that a bad thing?" Halym started to panic
"well....i don't know if this is gonna be bad or not. But normally, Arva would never attend any party except from FATE's party"
"crap.... but sir Arva father is really scary and i thought that was the best answer..."
"-sigh- it can't be helped then. It's okay Halym, i'll be there too"
"woah, really?! then i don't need to worry indeed"
"just keep sharp Halym, i need to do my duty as young master's right hand too you know?"
"young master? ah! are you miss Khana's right hand sir Abhin?"
"Khana? what're you talking about? i'm from Anahata's family"
"ah.....i thought you're from Vishuddha's family"
"nope. That's why i need you to stay sharp. Just don't do or say anything funny Halym. Just keep quiet!! Arva never communicates with anyone anyway, so you should be fine"
"ah, ok. I'll remember that sir Abhin. Can i ask you about something?"
"hm? sure. what's it?"
"how about my mom's condition?"
"ah, about that.. sorry! i forgot to ask it when i called Arva..i promise will call you when i have the info. ok?"
"o...ok sir Abhin. Got it"
"ok then, i have many things to do now. Bye Halym! good luck!"
"ok sir Abhin"
-tliing- the call ended.
Halym lay on his bed. He tried to arrange his mind for anything that happen since this morning. He closed his eyes and fell asleep.
"master...young master..." Nanika's voice could be heard
"mmm.... Nanika?" Halym scrunched his forehead
"yes young master. I want to remind you that you need to prepare for the Vishuddha's family party"
"ok...i get it....-hoamm- wow, your arms are already getting fixed?"
"yes young master. Time for the reparation is 3 hours and 10 minutes" Nanika replied
"good then. So what i need to prepare exactly?"
"you need to take a bath and get dressed one hour before the party's time young master. That's the ideal plan by the time being" Nanika gave her suggestion
"ok then, prepare the bathroom Nanika"
"understood" Nanika bowed and left the room
Halym got up and started walking to the bathroom.
He took his time to enjoy the afternoon bath time and got back to his room for dressed. He found a set of elegant suit with purpleish colour and golden trim as its decoration.
That's totally a luxury suit from Halym's perception.
He put it on and saw himself on the mirror.
"wooah, this dress is so nice"
-niin- Nanika voice came from his door
"young master Arva, sir Wen want to talk to you. Can he come in?"
"Kerly? ah, sure Nanika, let him in"
-whuung- the door opened
Wen came into the room and using purple suit too just like him.
"hey Kerly! your dress is nice too" Halym greeted Wen
"...hee.... is that so?" Wen approached Halym
"hm? what's wrong Kerly?" Halym confused
Wen stopped in front of him. He stared Halym's eyes with a serious expression.
"his body.. his energy....definitely Arva.....but this aura....this strange feeling...."
"hey Kerly... seriously what's wrong?"
"ah, nothing! i just want to ask you something"
"sure, what's it?"
"who are you?"
"...sorry? what did you say Kerly?"
"who are you? why you have Ar's appearance and body?"
"....."
"if you keep silent, then i need to find out myself" Wen's energy flow emitted from his body
Halym realized this situation was really serious and his smile was gone from his face.
"mother of origin...how does he find out..."
Wen kept staring at him and ready to take some action if he still silent..... well... Halym got in trouble..... again....
