It was about time for dinner when Julius woke up. He felt his whole body soring now. The effect of using warrior-qi was finally showing.
"Don't tell me that my body will hurt like this every time I use Qi for fighting," Julius asked Peko.
"Don't be a cry-baby. Julius, this was your first time using Qi to its maximum limit. That's why your body was showing such reactions. Next time, it will be better," Peko said.
Julius relaxed after hearing what Peko said. His body already hurt like this when he used Qi for 30minutes. What if he uses it for a prolonged time. How much would it hurt then?
Julius stood up from his bed to stretch so he could get some relief from the sore muscles. After half an hour, he finally stopped and changed his clothes that were full of sweat.
"Okay. So, what do you have thought of the future?" Peko asked as Julius was changing his clothes.
"No clue," Julius answered.
"No clue?" Peko asked with a confusion filled voice.
"I mean, I have to start searching again."
"So, back to the original plan," Peko asked?
Julius nodded.
He took a deep breath and opened one of the locked boxes in his room.
"We won't reach anywhere sitting and thinking like this. Let's select the resources that I had to gave Aki and move on with that," Julius said, taking out the stuff from the box.
Julius selected High-grade Qi refining and body strengthening pills. He picked eight portions each. It will help Aki to refine her Qi and strengthen her body for a month.
A Low-grade pill needed to be taken every day for a month to show some improvement. Even then, it depends on the person's talent and hard work how much effect it would have. On the other hand, High-grade pills would show a substantial amount of growth in the same time interval.
Since it had some advantages over Low-grade ones, it would also have some disadvantages. Unlike Low-grade pills, which would be consumed without any break and High-grade ones need a break after a month of use.
That's why Julius had picked only the right portions, which would be enough for a month, one for every four days.
After selecting the pills, he left his room and started walking towards the main hall.
When he reached the main hall, he saw Aki waiting for him there. He was surprised to found out that only Aki was there.
He had guessed that both Aki and Akeno would be waiting for him.
Aki seeing his surprised face, said, "Master Kiara had to do something, so Sister Akeno also followed her."
That's right! Everyone calls Kiara by adding Master to her name since she had reached Master-qi.
At the same time, Julius felt that his decision to chose Aki and not Akeno was correct.
"Aki, here you go," Julius passed the pills to Aki.
Aki grabbed them and started to look at them. Once she found out that they were high-grade pills. She started smiling ear to ear.
"Thank you, Brother Julius. You don't know how important these pills are for my sister and me," the moment Aki said this, she felt that she had spilt the beans.
"These pills are for you, Aki and not for your sister," Julius said.
"But Brother Julius," Before Aki can continue, Julius interrupted.
"Aki, these are for you and not for Akeno. I have decided to give my resources to you and not Akeno," Julius said sternly.
Aki nodded, but Julius was able to saw her sad puppy eyes.
They both stood like that for a few minutes when Julius was unable to saw those sad looking puppy eyes and said, "Aki, you use these pills and tell Akeno to ask me if she needs some pills."
Aki got happy again when she heard Julius, but suddenly she stopped smiling again.
"If I tell sister about this, she will not come to ask you. I am 100% sure," Aki said.
Julius felt bad again watching Aki's sad eyes, so he thought of something again.
"Okay, how about this, Aki. For now, you take these pills, and I would give you more pills tomorrow, which you can share with Akeno."
"Brother Julius, you are great," Aki jumped on Julius to hug him.
Julius felt awkward and happy at the same time.
"Okay, let's go and get some dinner," Julius said to Aki, separating himself from Aki.
Both Aki and Julius started to move towards the dining hall.
"Are you not getting overly familiar with someone who is only 15 years old," Peko said.
"What do you mean?" not understanding what Peko meant, Julius asked.
"Someone said he is not a paedophile and won't be making any moves towards the 15-year-old girl. and here you, hugging her chest to chest." Peko said, teasing Julius.
Julius suddenly felt embarrassed and angry, not expecting that he would be called a paedophile.
Aki watched Julius expression changing and asked, "Brother Julius, did something happen?"
"No, nothing, Aki," Julius replied, shaking his head.
"Okay, then let's move fast. I am feeling super hungry," Aki said and started to pull Julius by his hand.
By the time they reached the dining hall, there were already people eating their food.
Julius and Aki started searching for an open seat when Julius noticed Yura. Yura also saw Julius at the same time.
Yura started moving towards Julius, and she was about to say something to Julius when she saw Aki holding hands with Julius. She stopped.
She moved towards Julius a few seconds later and said, "Hello, My name is Yura. A friend of Julius. I am happy for both of you."
Yura left after she said that.
