Chapter 6 - The Path (pt.4)

After the skirmish that happened Rosier brings Eligot into the Inn where the doctor is waiting for them, as the doctor takes Eligot's shirt off he sees a lot of scars everywhere, the scars looked like they were formed by whips and knives. The scars looked really severe even on Eligot's lean muscly physique, "Huh?! Did these guys injure him that much?!" Rosier asked shocked, "No, these scars are years old, from what i can see, it looks like they were formed by torture equipment." The doctor answers sounding quite shocked himself. Suddenly Amy kicks the door open running toward Eligot, "Whoa what are you doing woman?" Rosier asked, but Amy goes right past him, standing in front of Eligot with a horrified expression on her face, "T - The scars have been revealed?" Amy asks shaken up, "What do you mean by that woman, are you feeling alright?" Rosier asks, "I only saw these scars when i met Eligot for the first time, back then he couldn't hide the scars, and when we took him in to save him and we saw all the scars we were horrified, we were thinking about waht that young child could've went through to get such wound and scars, a few days later the best mage in our village said he had a lot of potent magic power but since even back then Eligot could use a weaker version of the mana shot technique the mage admitted that he could teach him nothing but one technique, that technique was the one that allowed him to hide his scars." Amy said still shaken up, "So he is really knocked out huh?" Rosier said trying to lighten up the mood, "I am sorry but you shouldn't be making jokes at a time like this." Amy says with tears in her eyes, "Okay i am very sorry, but there is nothing to worry about, Eligot is really strong im sure he will survive." Rosier said whole heartedly, "He is strong, but he will be in so much pain and-" Amy's speech ended abruptly as Rosier grabbed her by the shoulder, "You worry too much." Rosier said sincerely, "H-Huh, what are you talking about i don't w-worry at all." Amy said while visibly blushing, "All right then i guess we should leave and give the doctor some space to work, you should go get some sleep and relax." Rosier said as they left the room...

About seven hours later Eligot awakened and stood up off the bed immediately, "W-Wait sir you shouldn't be moving yet!" The doctor yelled sounding shaken up, "What time is it?" Eligot asked calmly, "S-Sir please get back in the bed the injury could be fatal if you dont get back in the bed" the doctor said still scared, "I don't care about that, just tell me the time." Eligot said, still unnervingly calm, "Sir please im beggi-" the doctors words end abruptly as Eligot stands in front of him, "Listen you will either tell me the time and let me leave right now or blood will be spilled." Eligot said in a cold tone, "I-Its seven in the morning sir." The doctor said scared for his life, "Good its not too late." Eligot said as he kicks the door open and walks out...

About half an hour later Rosier awakens and goes to check on Eligot and as he walks out of the inn he sees Eligot sitting still on the rough ground meditating, "Eligot what are you doing you should still be in bed!" Rosier yells, but gets no answer, "Hey im talking to you!" Rosier says as he tries to touch Eligot but his hand gets repelled by a forcefield, "Hm is this Mana... no i would be able to break through it, this ... is compressed air!"
