Chereads / Crownless King System / Chapter 12 - The day after

Chapter 12 - The day after

"Oh man.", he said leaving the infirmary with his arm plastered. "I think this is going to difficult things."

[TFQ: Stop the drama and use the Healing Touch. You'll be fine.]

"Really?"

[You used Healing Touch on yourself.]

[Broken fingers started to heal,]

[You used Healing Touch on yourself.]

[Broken fingers are almost healed.]

[You used Healing Touch on yourself.]

[Your finger are totally cured.]

"Well, that was easier than I thought.", he smiled. "Ain't it, boy?"

"Woof."

"But for the damage I did on the area, weren't for my arm being in pieces by now?"

[TGK: You only suffered from a few barrier sound brokes. So stop thinking over it and go buy the books before you forget this again.]

[Archer: Are you alright?]

[TGK: It's just that the others had more time to nurture you while I can only watch.]

[Archer: You can teach me about Aura.]

[TFQ: I don't think that this is his expertise area either.]

[Archer: So what you want me to buy?]

[TGK: ***.]

[Archer: This again. Okay I'll use my Intelligence then. Just speak when I'm near what I need to get and don't when I'll go out of the way.]

[TGK: Okay.]

"I already have 'Fire' on the books I bought the other day. So Intermediary and Light should be the proper ones."

[TFQ: The girl will be ever on your room?]

[Archer: I don't know but I need at least her on a good state before she leave.]

"TGK. It's now."

The boy went floor by floor on every section of magic. Then he arrived on Norse magic. This was a surprise for him. He again started going section by section and stopped on Runes and Weapon Enchantments. So he got a few books of it as he himself found that interesting.

'Norse Magic' was a simple cover with spells used on the years not too long after the Crackle. They would use some of the myth of the Earth and bring them to reality. On that days some people received the name of the Norse Gods as they were like their encarnations on the world.

'Norse Runes' was like a complement for the book of simple magic. This was focused on putting Runes to enhance other items such as weapons and magic amplifiers as staffs and wands.

'Olympus Magic' is the same category of the 'Norse Magic' but taking into consideration another myths and cultures.

'Heroes of the Olympus' was the only collection that didn't was about magic at all. This book was a documentary about the Heroes on the myths and their counterparts on the Earth. This book took over a century to be make and had real reports from the counterparts themselves.

"Lets go.", he smiled. "TGK you'll help me enhance the other uniforms."

[TGK: Got it.]

[Archer: TWT. You are quiet. Don't you want something like I did now?]

[TWT: Pick the Aura book and maybe some martial art book.]

[Archer: Oh yeah. They used to fight for entertainment on the Old Ages.]

The library was a great source for the boy. As he gained experience by reading a lot of books. He could afford ten by week for now. So that was a continuos form of obtaining level and gifts from the system.

"Archer?", mister J saw the boy on the library. "Are you alright already?"

"Yes, teacher."

"I saw what you did with the arena. If I'm not wrong and miss H isn't as well. Did your firebol reached the speed of light?", the man asked. "Because that's the only way for a low damage spell become that destructive.", the boy was a little surprised. "After this I looked at the camera footage. Your arms were repelled by the firebolt but the most shocking was that it broke around thirty times the sound barrier near your arm and you are still with it."

"Teacher. All you said is right.", the boy didn't denied it.

"How? This would be only possible if you had..."

"Light mutation?", the boy asked. "Yeah."

"How? When?", mister J was in awe. "It isn't that much people that can obtain another mutations and even more at a fast pace like you."

"Yeah, I know.", he couldn't tell what was really happening with him to his teacher.

"You have your secrets I understand but if you can make others awake maybe you can talk to me."

"I'll see what I can do, teacher.", the boy gave him a sorry smile.

"Okay. Don't lose the next class I have a punishment to apply.", mister J left.

"Punishment?", the boy looked at himself. "His class is obrigatory. DAMN."

"Woof."

"It's nothing, boy.", he looked at Ferdy. "I need to build a magical circuit on you before doing what I have in mind."

[TFQ: Try the monsters section.]

[Archer: Going there.]

So he got the last six books.

'Aura: How to get and use it' is a book on how to awaken Aura and how to use it. Simple and efficient.

'Kung Fu: A step to the past' is two in one. Both being a documentary about the first humans to use a martial art against monsters and too a instruction book on how to learn it.

'Phoenix: The might fire' is a book teaching about the monster.

'Suiryuu: The mightest Water Dragon' is a book telling the story about one of the Water Dragon that reigned on Earth.

'Gato: The Disaster Tiger' is a book telling a story about a Tiger, that might be like the one in the Four Guardians, and his passage on the South America.

'Pandu and Karuna: The Serpent in the Turtle's neck'. This is a fiction about the Turtle Guardian. As in the stories the Turtle has a Serpent as his tail. This fiction tells how the monster might have been brought to life on the real world.

"Sorry, boy, but you aren't in a hurry.", Archer petted the wolf's head.

[TFQ: You didn't bought a Light magic book.]

[Archer: That's okay for now. I can't afford to take more attention over me.]

On his dorm.

"How was the class?", Aurora asked.

"Good but I lost today's."

"Yeah. I know. You didn't come back.", she replied. "What happened?"

"I broke my arm.", she looked at him moving it normally and returned with a doubtful face to him. "I healed it already. I need to do things and can't let it like that.", he said and put some more food on the fridge. "Are you heating the food?"

"Yes, sir."

"How is your injuries?"

"Next week I can return to the classes.", she affirmed.

"Good.", he looked at her. "What are you reading?"

"The Fire magic book. It can help me after I leave this prison."

"I'm being paid to take care of you and I'll say that the infirmary isn't as safe as here. Neither are your dorm.", he replied.

"How can you be so sure?"

"How much do you think your roommates can afford to not stab you on the back?", she didn't replied. "I think they would do for less than a hundred.", she ignored and returned to the book. "I'll leave for a walk. Do you want anything?"

"Can you take my clothes? I need to change."

"This I won't do. Pass me some credits and I'll buy you some.", he returned and his watch beeped. "I need your sizes.", he said.

"Really?"

"The clothes one.", he wrote and passed to him. "Okay. I'll be back soon. Don't leave or open the door.", he looked but she didn't react at all. "Lets go, boy."

"Woof."

He left. She dropped the book and saw the new ones.

"Why is he so interested in this kind of books?", she started to read the titles. "He studied their magical circuits and now will study their history. He is a total weird. What was my father thinking?"

She said that but now she had books that weren't about school itself. She took the 'Pandu and Karuna' and started to read. The story began a little before the Crackle describing the life of two normal animals. A turtle and a serpent. The turtle was walking toward the river when it was attacked on the neck by its predator when the Crackle happened. Both animals were affected and a giant turtle with a serpent tail biting its neck surged.

"That's too fantasious to be real.", she said after reading the first chapter and dropping it.

A knock happened on the door. She was surprised. No one ever knocked it before when she was there.

"Open it, Archer. It's me Ruffus."

She didn't know if she could open it or not. 'Don't leave or open the door.' was on her mind but this voice was acting like it knew Archer. So maybe was a friend of his but then she remembered some interations that he had on class. Never ended well and this was enough to she be in silence letting the boy waiting on the outside.

It lasted a few minutes till she didn't heard the boy but then the door was forced by something hitting it.

"What are you doing?", she shouted.

"So there is someone in there.", Ruffus said with a smile on the face. "Open the damn door. I need to take my books.", he thought that he could manipulate the one inside.

"NO.", she yelled.

"No?", he became furious and kicked the door again. "YOU BITCH. I'LL ENTER THERE AND BEAT YOU."

Hearing the words about being beated Aurora remembered something like this and a push that let her being in front of the living puppet. After that she yelled and started to shake. She took the blanket and rolled herself in.

"Do it, boy.", a beam shoot on Ruffus' back. "Keep going.", another after another were fired to the blonde fellow. "You can't mess with my client, bitch.", Ruffus was on the floor but Archer picked him by the head and hit it against the floor again. Fastly he opened the door and entered with his familiar that was flying. "Are you alright?", he saw the state that the girl was in. "You need a treatment. Go there, boy."

All that Ferdy did was get close and rub himself against the girl. As she calmed down she started to fell unconscious.
