It takes everything I have to defend. Fighting back is not even an option at this point. She is anticipating almost all my movements. When I turn my leg, she swings from the opposite direction and breaks my balance. When I guard during her swing, she changes the trajectory. When I block her weapon, she punches or kicks me. I feel sorry for Rose and Mark, thinking that they were severe. This woman is fighting me like she means to kill me. After two hours. She finally stops beating me up. I am sweating bullets. But Selene, her face is only glistering a bit.
"How are you not tired?"
"When you are only attacking, it is much easier and you are not a level where I can go all out anyways. But you are good, I won't say otherwise. For a child to even read my attack and block some of them is a rare feat in itself." I really don't know what happened last night, but Selene just complimented me. I would have never thought.
"Ok, tend to your woun… what is that?" Selene is looking at my arms. When I also look, I see a wound that is closing at an incredible rate, disappearing in a matter of seconds. It must not have been a big one anyway.
"What is what?" I ask her like I don't understand.
"Don't play dumb with me. how do you heal so fast? You can use a high-class healing script?!"
"No, I can't even use a physical script. How would I know how to use that?"
"Then how?"
"I don't know. Excafol said I was hurt badly after my fight with Kalok and they had to use a high-class Script to heal me. Restructure or something."
"They use Restructure on you! A child!" Selene's eyes are about to pop out. Please don't look at me like I am some kind of weird creature you just discovered!
***
"Ah, you have finished training already." Excafol comes back and greets us while Selene was about to kill me with her stare. Like a hunter whose prey finally fell in the trap, Selene pounces on him and pin him down, making him drops his stick and the bag he had in his hands.
"Have you turned senile already?!!" I am pretty sure he has Selene. "You used restructure on a child! Did you even see what it did?!!" Selene is angry but not mad, she is not screaming after all. Excafol, even though he is pinned down, doesn't seem uncomfortable either.
"I saw and I suppose you also did. However, as I told him before, just using restructure cannot cause such changes, at least I don't think so. There must be something else causing such a phenomenon." After he said that, Selene stands up and helps Excafol also. I pick up his stick and the bag. It is a bit heavy, what is inside?
"I went to the forest to find some herbs for him." Do I need herbs? For what? Cooking maybe.
"Ah, you want to start with your weird bath already. Is it not too soon? He is a child you know, even if I can't believe it myself." You can't believe I am a child Selene? Even though you keep calling me brat this and punk that!
"What is that gr-Excafol?" I almost forgot that I cannot call him gramps when Selene is here.
"Those are medicinal herbs. I am not an advanced healer like Secily but I do know a recipe to help with fatigue and enhances your muscle's growth. Did you learn your scripts from Selene?"
"No, he didn't." Selene answers before I could.
"He can't use them. I don't know why but he can't. Even though he is using aura properly. Maybe the goddess blessing is not working for him." The goddess blessing? I have never received that. Is it a requirement to use scripts? If so, that would explain why. But should I tell them? From the look of it, it seems using aura also depends on the goddess's blessing. So how will I explain that I can use aura but not scripts? Better not to tell them.
"I have never seen that either. This guy is really out of ordinary." Excafol looks at me with a blissful face. This gramps is becoming weird, I am telling you.
Excafol goes inside to put the bag he brought back. When I look at Selene activating her bracelet to stock her axe, I suddenly have an idea. Since I can read minds, maybe I can use that to know what she thinks about while using a script.
"Selene, could you use titanic slash one more time please?"
"Ah? what for?"
"Please…"
"Tch. Okay." Selene brings out her axe again. While she stands in front of another tree, I use Angas and starts reading her mind.
'What is this kid thinking? Let's just finish this and go enjoy Excafol'
Enjoy Excafol? Wait, like eating him? What does she mean? After that, all I heard were weird noise, a language I have never heard before. What the hell was that?
"Are you satisfied now?"
"Yes, I am, thank you." Selene stocks back her axe and goes inside. A for me, it is better to go hunting since I have little time now. I will Two about all this later.
