Chapter 266
"Ugh!"
Andromeda groaned as she felt her hands trembling and trying to fight the pain. She would puke blood at any moment. She was exhausted and consumed all her mana, but she was not allowed to stop. She continued releasing mana so that she could heal the poor snow bunny before her. The snow bunny was bleeding as someone impaled it mercilessly. It was breathing weakly.
"You have to control your mana usage, you should use the right amount of mana to heal a small bunny. Don't waste your mana and spare them rightfully, as a healer you should be aware of your mana pool."
Said by the heartless man who injured the poor snow bunny. Kyle was watching Andromeda squeezing all her remaining mana to heal the creature. The snow bunny was cute and pitiful, it kept crying asking to be saved and Andromeda took pity on it.
"Guh!"
She groaned as she released her power and cast heal, thankfully the mana was enough to heal the poor bunny. Andromeda's face was pale as if she lost most of her blood, at any moment, she might pass out. Her mind was in a groggy state, this was must worst than the life she experienced in the Punishment. She couldn't think straight and her saliva was falling out of her mouth, she was like a zombie.
However, her training was still not over. Kyle tossed a mana potion to her, urging her to drink it, and started healing again.
"Drink it."
"…"
Andromeda swallowed a cry as she was breathing hard, her forehead was covered with layers of sweat but she didn't stop. She extended her hand and grabbed the potion using her trembling hand. Andromeda uncorked the potion and gulped down the content. She almost puked because of the taste of medicine but she pushed herself and drank it.
"Good, now heal another one."
"T- They are going to get hurt."
"I don't care."
Next to Kyle, a cage full of snow bunnies was shivering as the bunnies tried to escape. The bunnies were afraid because they witnessed how Kyle stabbed every bunny that he grabbed out of the cage. Kyle actually stabbed 300 bunnies and no one didn't die because Andromeda kept healing them, so far everything was going fine and only 28 bunnies remained in the cage.
However, Kyle was not impressed at all. His opponent is time and no one could beat it, even him or the Protector. Kyle knew that the catastrophe is coming and he needed Andromeda to become stronger and help him.
"K-Kyle, I think Andromeda needs to rest."
Miriam joined in, she could see that Andromeda was barely opening her eyes. The fatigue built up and she was obviously exhausted. Miriam turned around and looked at the sniffing Adalyn. The young girl was crying as she couldn't accept seeing her big sister like this, suffering just to get stronger.
"She has to rest, you know that."
Miriam said in a firm tone, she knew that she was the right one here. She understood that Kyle had a tendency to go M, but everything has its limit.
Kyle glanced at her and Miriam slightly fidget, it was difficult whenever Kyle looked at her eye to eye.
"Miriam, you know that I only said that I will help her if she tried to do her best. Besides, I gave her a warning that this is going to be hard."
"But-"
"I believe Niña said to Andromeda that she must be alert about me, yet she still decided to agree with me teaching her. You know that I'm the best teacher that she can find."
"T-That's true but-"
"Miriam you don't know what is coming."
"Because you're not telling me!"
Miriam's voice quivered, she was frustrated being treated like this. She glared at Kyle and waited for his reaction, she saw that Kyle's pupils dilated but it immediately disappeared. Kyle massaged his forehead and sighed.
"Hey, young girl, take Andromeda to her room, the training is over now."
Adalyn didn't hesitate and quickly helped her big sister. Before they left, Adalyn glared at Kyle and she was furious. Now, she knew the reason why Niña hated Kyle. He was heartless.
'If not for sister's dream, I will definitely disagree and stop her from choosing Kyle as a mentor.'
Adalyn knew the reason why Andromeda wanted to become stronger quickly. She wanted to stand equal with him.
'Big brother Mikael, I don't know if you remember sister Andi but she's doing her best just to see you… Please, if you meet, don't be bad to her.'
Adalyn understood that her big sister had a lot of stronger rivals to face, even Niña was part of that, but Adalyn was still cheering for her big sister because she witnessed her determination.
'I don't know if it's sweet or crazy to see someone do her best just to make someone love her back. I don't know big sister and big brother's past, but I think big brother did something to sister Andi that caused her to fall in love. Maybe it was a simple act of goodwill, but that goodwill gave sister Andi a new reason to live.'
Adalyn assisted her sister and took her to her room. Andromeda was weak, she rest on the bed and closed her eyes, she didn't even change her clothes and just doze off. She was too tired.
Adalyn watched her with concern, she felt like her sister's determination to reach Mikael was disturbing. She didn't know if it was good or bad, no one could tell except time.
"If they met each other, I wonder what will happen."
Adalyn actually wanted to consult her brother but Seven already left because he was called by the guild. Aside from that, Miriam had bad blood against the insensitive Seven.
"Kuya, as always you are stupid..."
She sighed, she could guess the reason why Miriam hated Seven. That man definitely asked about her wellbeing while she was in the Punishment.
Seven always put Adalyn first before everything, and now that Adalyn was in a safe place, Seven was not afraid to leave her.
