Chapter 8 - Failure!!!

So after reading and practicing but with no progress,I became very tensed,I couldn't believe it because I have waited for this day my whole life and this is the result I get.After becoming very sad Prince and Elven decided to cheer me up with some words of encouragement and jokes that I couldn't resist laughing in tears.

"Why would this happen to,Is it only me in this world that can not practice any ability or draw power from surroundings" I thought to myself.

Within thinking I heard a voice in my head but because I was sad I thought I am been illusional or is because I have been very tired or the power I was in to practice has vanished.It seems like the sound was now sounding real so I turned to Prince and asked him if he is talking to but he said" No,maybe it is because you are tired".I turned to Elven and he jokingly said" Maybe you are becoming Mad or is about to die,Hahhaaaa" He said laughing.

" That is not funny"I continued" I am not mad maybe we should head to dorm and I have a peaceful sleep and after that we shall see.

So with that done we headed out.On our way out we chit chat to the dorm and after we had finished I decided to have a big sleep.

.......

At a place,in a big house was a woman who has been crying since the morning after getting back home and not finding her husband.

"Where are you,I have been trying to reach you and it is not going through" "what is really happening,I don't understand anything" she said out lound.After saying that she heard a loud noise ~~bang!!~~and she realized that it could be her husband and for heavenly sake there was two men in the room with one holding onto the other like a drunk.She saw the cloth and realized that the man holding onto the other was her husband.she quickly rushed to the man and held her husband to sit,she rushed to the kitchen and fetched a glass of water for the two of them but they both couldn't even hold the glass well.I sprinkled some on his face and he reacted to it.

"What happened that made you to drink like this.you have never drunk like this in your life,why!,why!!,why!!! did you do it"She asked in a harsh tone in demand of an answer that she didn't even notice that her husband couldn't even speak.She moved to the man and asked for his name.The man looked at her and said"I am Tim, and you".

She looked at him before responding"Mrs.Bow and may I ask where you found him".He answered "I found him in the pub,he was really sober and was saying something about dieing sometime now".

Mrs Bow became shocked and asked worriedly" What! and death,why would he be talking about death".

Tim became supprised that her wife even doesn't know about the problem he has,he thought" should I brief her or not.This is not even a matter concerning me and I can't intrude into someone's family business".

H stood there frozen about some moments and decided to tell her the truth about her husband.He started talking" You know the truth is that your husband is really sick,He has a certain illness that cannot be cured"he continued yelling her and he told her everything he know of her husband.Listening to what he is saying she became paralyzed and tears started to flow from his face, She sat down and started wiping her face with a handkerchief given to her by Tim.

She looked at Tim and said"Thank you for helping him,he is a good man.it is just that he sometimes feel guilty for something that he did long ago"

" Ok,don't worry about it"He said.

We sat there and chatted for long that time passed and he was still not awake.After that we asked ourselves some personal questions but after knowing themselves very well they didn't know what to talk about next so they remained silent. But after some time Tim broke it with his goodbye saying"Please if you need anything call me and please say my goodbye to him when he wakes up" he said handling me a card with his number on and his address.

"Ok,I will let you know when he wakes up" she said.

Tim got up and Mrs Bow escorted him to the door,they hugged and exchanged their gratitude's and after that Mr. Tim went his way.Mrs. Bow closed the door and attend to her husband.After some few hours Mr.Bow woke up and saw his wife attending to him.

"Who brought me home " he thought.

"Did I really drank that much,if she knows I will be done for"he said to himself.

As he was thinking,Mrs.Bow notice that he is awake and sat down.She watched him as Mr.Bow was pretending to be sleeping,she looked at him very angrily and decided to speak first" I know why you got drunk"she said.

"No it is just that I... before he could finish she cut him off saying " is it really true that you are going to die in some days "she asked worriedly.

" No,infact it is in some few hours,about six hours the doctor estimated it for me"he said sounding sad.

" So why didn't you tell me earlier,why!"she shouted turning to leave.Mr Bow was left there on his own trying to avoid crying meanwhile Mrs Bow went running to her room and locked the door crying.She didn't know what to do so all that she could do was to cry.

.................

Back at the school too,two boys are walking around in their fan fit.They were talking about an incredible fight that they had watched on TV.They were Prince and Elven.After staying with Bernard for so long,they decided to head to the dorm lobby and watch TV. As they were watching the movie they remembered that it was left with only Bernard in the room that they have not locked the door.

Prince said"I thought I told you to close the door but you said we will be back in no time".

" Yeah,that's why we are going back"Elven respond.

In the room too Bernard has waken up but to his supprise,nobody was in the room.As he was about to get up and dress a sound of a ding was heard and this time a pop up notification appeared at his face;

System Screen

You need to upgrade system now to be able to learn abilities,magic,combat(sword).

This came as a shock to Bernard that he didn't know wether to accept or decline.He stood there as a child staring at some place without nobody knowing he is busy thinking.

"Is this an illusion,the one Elven said" he thought.

"No ,no no this can't be else they will say that I am mad again"he murmured.Let me try yes and see what happens,if it is an illusion we shall see.

[Yes]he said out loud like a mad man who had won a lottery or bet.
