Third Leaf [1]

I stared at my arm with widened eyes. 

The stinging sensation had disappeared, and what replaced it was a strange warmth that seemed to seep through every part of my body. 

Staring at the glowing leaf, I didn't know how to react. 

It was an unexpected situation. 

How was I even supposed to react to this...? 

In the first place, what sort of criteria was there for me to suddenly unlock the third leaf? 

'Could it be because I suddenly reached Tier 3?'

Was that the criteria? 

I thought about it for a while before shaking my head. Surely it wasn't that simple. There was definitely more to it than my thoughts allowed. 

But in the end, I knew that thinking about it right now was pointless. 

Looking around me, I quickly bandaged up my arm and sat down on the bed. 

"Hooo." 

Laying down on the bed, I blankly stared at the ceiling.
