Chapter 17: Mother like son...
"Money is not everything, brat!"
Human bear shouted and once again released a palm strike towards Raphel. However! After a good session of beating, Raphel finally did dodge the attack!
"Hmmm."
It can be said that he adapted, but in reality this was all luck! Nevertheless, what was more important was that he still stood strong. His vision was all good and his mind was clear even after all this beating.
"Not bad. But can you dodge again?"
"Blurgh!"
He can not! Raphel's luck ended as he once again entered the beating session. During this beating, although Raphel took same position as human bear, he never tried to attack him. Was he too scared? He himself didn't know, but finally after some beating, he decided to attack!
When human bear attacked once more, Raphel blocked with everything he had, then released a counterattack!
"Haaaa!"
""...""
His shout was impressive indeed, but everything else was too pathetic. Closing eyes for example. While Raphel attacked, he closed his eyes and put a little strength into his attack. Such pathetic punch stupefied everyone just like his closed eyes.
Human bear easily caught such punch. He clenched Raphel's wrist and looked at his palm. Raphel's palm was soft as if baby's...
"You have never worked hard, huh..."
"..."
"And why are you closing your eyes?"
Raphel himself asked this question. When he had fought bears or even when he went against the troll, his eyes were wide open. Is it because he is in human body so he is more scared? Or instincs of snakeman are lacking?
"Look at me, brat."
Human bear first threw Raphel at the mats, then with slow movement, he showed the posture and palm strike. Raphel once more thought that human bear is using magic!
'How can air tremble?!'
"Oi!"
Then, human bear gestured one of his disciples to go for Raphel's clothes. As he got them, he threw them at Raphel saying...
"Go back home already. You have to wash our training clothes yourself, got it?"
Raphel didn't say anything. Taking bag with his clothes, he left the dojo with blood still coming from his nose. He didn't mind it because even if they offered to treat his injuries, he would refuse them. After all, all of them laughed at him!
While Raphel was going home with staggering steps. One of adult disciples asked his question.
"Master, so you want him to come here again?"
"Yeah, you have seen his body. After first palm strike, he shouldn't be able to keep balance, but he still stood up and even took all my strikes."
""...""
"Great body, pathetic mind."
There was no way Raphel could hear them. If he did, then he would either tear apart those clothes or call police! For Raphel, the reason human bear told him to wash clothes himself was because he was stingy and by himself, because he wanted to punish him more.
'Human bear here, then monstrous bear on the other side.'
"Good thing I wont see the latter anymore...as human bear... I will send them by post!"
While coming back, he insulted both bears incessantly. Then as he got home...
"HYAAAAA!"
His mother screamed as she fell on her butt. Raphel with all blood on his face looked truly terrifying and her young heart couldn't take it! She immediately went for medicines to treat her son! As for Raphel, he had strange sense...
'Is that how I look when I fall?'
Lame!
After Raphel's mother treated his wounds, she still didn't let him go as she hugged him tightly. Raphel was her only son, and with her husband's death, he was her only family. Because of that, she was overprotective and spoiled him too much.
After he enjoyed mother's warm embrace, Raphel went upstairs to his room. He lied to his mother saying that thugs had beaten him. Only after he said this, she let him go! Then, as he entered his room, Raphel immediately turn on his PC.
The young man couldn't easily abandon his dream. He began playing his favorite competitive game till barely midnight...
As he lost them all... He laid on his desk and Raphel's mind began thinking once more about excuses! Then, the beating of the human bear appeared in his mind...
"If I had money in both worlds, then everything would've been easier. No need for strength. I don't have athletlic body."
Money for sure was the most important thing for Raphel! Then, as he stood up, Raphel noticed the times. It was twendy seconds till midnight...
Even though he believed that he had died, he still coulndn't help, but get tense. As for zeros appeared...
"No...noo!"
His eyelids became heavy and soon, Raphel head hit the desk loudly. So loudly that the wound on his head opened releasing a lot of blood. Raphel's mother heard the loud noise, thus, she quickly checked on him...
"HYAAAA!"
When she saw him laying on desk with blood, she once again fell, then called for ambulance... Soon, Raphel's human body landed in hospital...
