Chapter 96: Runic symbol [1]

".... Arghh."

A piercing pain in my arm jolted me awake as my eyes fluttered open. Looking around, I found myself beneath a familiar ceiling.

Right...

I'm back in the academy....

"Arghh."

Another groan escaped my lips. I lifted my hand slightly, the piercing pain still engulfing my mind.

Lifting my torso from the bed, I gently pushed myself back until my back rested against the wall.

"...Sigh."

A sigh escaped my mouth as I looked at my left hand, which was in worse condition than my right.

It was filled with small cracks formed from torn muscles and broken skin.

When 'he' last attacked Delwyn with everything he had, 'he' overexerted my body so much that most of the muscles in my hand got damaged.

It will take at least a few more weeks for my hand to heal before I can actually use it in combat.
