Chapter 4 - Bath: Alaster

Alaster and Lienna searched for the public bathroom and didn't find it so they went to the receptionist. 'Hello how can I help you', the receptionist said. 'Where's the bathroom please', Lienna asked. 'Go upstairs and turn left, the third door is the bathroom'.

Lienna and Alaster left which shocked the receptionist. 'At least say thank you', the receptionist thought. 'So what's your new name?', Lienna asked. 'Alaster Flamesworth'. She stared at him to express her shock. 'What?', Alaster asked. 'My name's Lienna FLAMESWORTH!!'. It was Alaster's turn to be shocked. He walked to the male section door. 'See you soon' , he said but Lienna had gone inside the female section already. 'Lets do this', he thought as he walked through the door.

Instead of a bathroom, it was a locker room but Alaster didn't need it as he had a storage ring. Storage rings are rings that have a lot of space inside which isn't scientifically possible but in a magic world why not.

So walked straight ahead and saw two doors. One says 'For people awakened people only', while the other says 'For both awakened (people that control mana) and norms (opposite)'.

[Pick the awakened door]. 'I can't control mana'. [I can teach you]. Seeing the logic in Ryan's words he entered.

Instead of a waterfall, river or any water body the place was just flat grass. People chatted while others simply stood still. 'Is supposed to be a bathroom', he thought. [The mana here is called cleansing mana, it helps cure impurities, wounds and it cleans the body and refreshes the soul].

'Am I getting cleaned?'. [Nope, you need to control it]. 'How to do that exactly'. [ Feel your surroundings you'll feel energy around you, closing your eyes will help].

Alaster tried it, at first nothing happened then after a few minutes of concentration he felt an energy. It felt the way you would feel heat except for the refreshing feeling.

Suddenly, a man walked up to Alaster, 'You're new right give me the storage ring and there will be no problems', the man said. The man was muscular but slim making him less frightening, when Alaster didn't react he was furious and kicked him.

Alaster tumbled on the ground, 'Since you want problems I'll give you some', the man said and ran straight towards him at an incredible speed.

Alaster couldn't understand the situation as it was too fast to process. His instincts told him to go left, and he did it and avoided a fatal punch.

'Sword',he said as he tapped his storage ring. A sword appeared in his hands. Alaster had taken fencing classes in his old life, although he wasn't that good he still got some skills.

The man clenched his fists as it began to glow orange. He punched while Alaster swung his sword and when the two made contact.....

BOOOOM!! An explosion due to the impact pushed each other backwards. Alaster suffered from the impact while the man stared at him. Alaster's HP was 20 so his face was bloody. He was wearing armor but the blast penetrated through it and injured him.

'Tsk I don't even need your stupid storage ring', the man said and began walking to the door but that wasn't the end. Alaster was angry, his determination grew as his bloodlust grew as well, then something unexpected happened, Alaster smiled.

He had observed how the man created such powerful impact. He took in some mana and focused on heat.

Soon the mana he absorbed felt like a flame inside his body.

He coated his hand with his mana. It consumed 80 MP, but he didn't care. He ran to the man and punched with all his might.

The punch did a lot of damage but it didn't kill him. Before the man regain balanced Alaster jumped and cut THE REPRODUCTIVE ORGAN OF THE MAN!!

[System: Exp gained 20]

[Told you, you should pick that door]. Alaster wanted to shout at Ryan for not telling him but couldn't do so because he was tired. Although Alaster couldn't see Ryan, he felt Ryan's gaze, not a bad one more of a affectionate gaze. [Sorry, I should have at least warned you].

Then he absorbed a large amount of mana to heal himself and left. No one was in the locker room so he changed to the clothes Alan had given them and went to search for Lienna.
