"Wait, is he always like this? "- The old man looked at me in horror.
" No, he acts like this when he learns of something that his brain cannot accept. His reaction was the same when I told him about demi-hunters! "- Jannu said with a smile.
" He's cute isn't he? "
Shinron looked at her weirdly and thought,
'What is cute about that? '
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I was in pain.
.
.
.
.
My entire body was hurting.
.
.
.
Every corner of my body hurts.
.
.
Every inche of muscle in body was aching.
It's been a week in the timeline outside. And that's approximately 20 days in the white planar due to jannu's help. And in this time I felt that death almost consume me, many times.
I was laying on the ground after a monstrously one sided spar with the old man, shinron. Thinking to myself, the events of the day that led to this.

Flashback

'What's cute about that? '
He instantly cleared his mind and got into business. He coughed and looked at jannu.
"So, jannu I want you to come with me. "- The old man led her in to the cave, then I followed him.
" Ram, you must not come inside at any cost! This might scare you for life! Stay here! "-He instructed me to stay back with a glance and I obeyed.
.
.
.
I waited there for two hours. But they didn't come out. Then I wandered into the cave out of curiosity.
" Ram, don't go inside. I feel a divine energy inside. "
I was startled by what row said, but I felt a need to investigate the matter. Almost, as if I was born to do this.
" What's this blue aura in the air? "- I wondered as I wandered through cave, that contained a dense blue aura.
And then finally I reached the end, there I saw nothing that might have scared me for life.
'What was that old man saying? What even is in here that can "Scare me for life".'
I saw jannu sitting in a meditation position with the old man shinron holding her head. There we're veins popping free m his head, due to some form of strainous activity.
'Maybe it's related to the blue energy in the air! '- I concluded, then I entered the room slowly in order to not throw off his concentration.
That's when the old man suddenly opened his eyes and the surrounding things glowed bright blue. The energy exploded so brightly, that it burned my eyes to look at it.
Then I screamed at the enormous strain that clenched my eyes and due to the killer headache.
Then I collapsed, unable to take it.
.
.
.
.
.
I woke up with a killer headache in an unknown environment. I felt off, though I still didn't open my eyes. I didn't fell the need to open them as I was still sleepy.
"So, he's the human that was able to see me, hmm? "
"Yes, I warned him not to interfere but he did it anyway. But, he is also my grandson. "
"Grandson or not, what he did was incredibly stupid! Though he was not informed of the consequences. "
I heard hushed whispers of two men. I was sure, one was my grandpa from the voice. I opened my eyes to see what was going on until I realized... I couldn't open my eyes. I would have panicked if not for the strange comfort I felt that made me do other wise.
"I should have been more straight about the issue! "
"Yeah, you think! "
I could clearly perceive the sarcasm in the voice of the other person.
"Anyway, I think he woke up. "
"Why is he not opening his eyes! "
"They are probably damaged due to my energy presence when he saw me! "
"So, is he gonna be blind for his entire life?! "
"Probably.... -
Now, I was starting to worry. I could also hear a loud gasp from my grandfather. I would be panicking right now if not for the calming energy because, I was gonna be blind for the entirety of my life-
".... Not. "
Whut!
"Hahaha, got you both. Anyway, nothings gonna happen to his eye sight. Though, he won't be able to use them until his body is strong enough to bear the insane strain that my divine energy can cause. His body strength might need to be at, at least 1% of your body strength. "- The voice explained, though playful still.
"This kid!! Guess, I have to make his training harder than intended. Such a pain! "- I could hear the irritation in shinrons voice.
"Anyway, how long do you think it's gonna take for you to make his body that strong? "- The other voice asked curiously.
" If I focus only on his body, which I will, probably 25 to 30 days tops. "- The old man replied with a irritated grit of his teeth.
" I think he probably only survived due to his special physique. I gotta say it's the most broken thing in the entire world! I mean you actually grew stronger while fighting me that day. Like what the hell?!?! Why don't I have such a cool ability! "
Who even was this man?! He fought shinron and they were talking like old friends. Who was he.
.
.
.
Wait, could it be... No I don't want to think about it.
"Ha, not as cool as controlling time, aqua! "
Seems, I guessed right! It truly was the God of time- aqua.
I felt my self get lifted, then the old man spoke!
"Bye, bye aqua. I got a brat to beat up. "- I felt that the old man was waving cooly while walking with me on his shoulder.
" So, what's gonna happen with me? "- I opened my mouth for the first time.
" Your gonna go through hell, kid! Your gonna regret your entire existence! Haha!!! "- the old man replied with a devilish laugh.
I would have ran away from him out of fear, if not for the iron grip he had on me.
----------------------------------------------------------
Flashback End
----------------------------------------------------------
That's how I'm here! Going through hell and coming back only to go back again!
I would truly have regretted my decision that day, if not for the lap pillows I get from jannu everyday!
Ha!
I can take anything you throw at me if it's jannu by my side.
