Bab 91: Finally A Normal Day II
The following few days after my return has gone quite smooth since I didn't have to busy myself with anything. I just lay on the bed and let the girls take care of me while flirting and talking about anything and everything. Sure, Natsu and company would come from time to time and create havoc, giving me free entertainment but they would soon be either thrown out by Porlyusica or be seen kneeling on the ground with the girls surrounding them.
Speaking of Porlyusica, it seems I have underestimated her passion for medicine. Or maybe I have underestimated her pride because the very next day I woke up, she came to find out the cause behind my injuries and why nothing that she did was working on me. The conversation was a bit short but I'm sure that I must have at least given her some closure on her medical skills.
-Flashback-
"So can you tell me why nothing I do has worked on you?" Porlyusica was there sitting on the couch inside of the infirmary with her arms crossed with the ever present scowl on her face as she asked this as soon as I was awake.
"I can't give you the full details but let's just say that what caused my wounds is not something anyone in this world knows about. Maybe Zeref knows, but I am not sure about that." I didn't answer her straight away and instead thought about what to say to her to get her off my back. In the end though, I gave her just a tiny bit of information so as to not damage her already wounded medical pride.
"Are you saying that no one apart from you and possibly Zeref the dark mage has discovered this thing that wounded you? You do realize that there are hundreds of thousands of people who go out exploring the world don't you? Why haven't any of them ever discovered this?" Porlyusica scrunched up her eyebrows even further at my words and questioned again. While this would be true on most cases, this is not something that can be discovered just by going around and looking at breathtaking sights and ruins.
"The wounds weren't caused by an object you know. It depends on a person's strength, comprehension and talent. The reason I am not giving you any information on this is because you are not strong enough. Heck, even Master Makarov isn't strong enough. None on the wizard saints are." Once I spoke up to here, I stopped since I didn't want to continue this topic any longer fearing that I might just blurt out the truth.
"Anyways, let's stop here. Where are the girls? I thought they would be here seeing that it is nearly 12 in the noon now." I changed the topic and sked her as I looked towards the window and then the clock to see it was nearly 12 and yet I hadn't seen the girls.
"They were here a while ago but I sent them out to have this talk with you. I won't ask you any questions anymore so make sure you don't come with a body like that since I wouldn't have any way to deal with such wounds. I'll let those brats know you are awake." Porlyusica stood up from her spot as she spoke and made her way to the door before going out. Of course, not before telling me to stay away from such wounds in the future so as not to trouble her again.
-Flashback End-
After that, Porlyusica and I never talked about that topic again and instead she had already left after seeing that I now had enough strength to act like a normal person and knowing that I could recover on my own after some time.
Starting today though, after three full days of being on the bed, I negotiated with the girls to use a magic powered wheelchair to move around more freely. Being in one place without anything to do and also having to stare at the same place for a long time can be detrimental for any mental recovery so I had to come up with a way to get out of that plain and simple infirmary room.
The wheelchair moves with magic power obviously and I had already gotten used to it after a few minutes of test driving. I used the wheelchair to go about inside of the guild to hang out with the members and have a stroll date with the girls around town, and I have to say that it has been working wonders on me mentally.
Because I had nothing to fuss about and relax, my mindset has become serene like a calm lakes' surface. I could do anything mental related with ease because my thought process was so clear now. And that is one of the reasons I have been able to get out of a good earful of scolding by the girls for so long. Every time it would seem like the girls were going to go off on me, I would start sweet talking and coming up with different topics to get their attention away from their anger.
Apart from this, I also oversaw Natsu, Gray and Elfman's training. They had come up to me while I was talking with the other members of the guild to ask for help in getting stronger. I of course with having nothing better to do, agreed. The following day at 4 in the morning, I dragged their lazy asses of their beds and brought them to the spot where I used to train when I was in Magnolia before I went on the last crusade.
I mainly focused on their physical strength and willpower with Elfman going through mental training more than the other two since he needed it to get better at controlling his takeover magic. The three had become stronger physically, though not a leap in strength like how I do. That is mainly because I can't use time to help them recover since my body has almost entirely been covered by the law darkness so I can't send it out to help effect anything but myself and that too for a minimum amount. But their natural recovery rate is already good enough so they did have an increase in physical strength, speed and stamina wise because of the workout I had them go through.
Aside from that, I had them do meditation. Natsu, as anyone would have guessed, couldn't sit still when we started and I had to go extra rough on the workout session on him to get him completely exhausted so that he could properly sit still for meditation. But after the workout, he would usually fall asleep when we begin meditation so I had to be right in front of him to hit him so that he remains awake.
Like this, I was able to get him to meditate while the other two took it easily. Next was more rewarding to Gray as I had them complete different puzzles and quizzes which can be turned into a form of combat oriented move. The puzzle was about forming the idea while the answer to the puzzle was the end product. Gray had managed to create multiple new moves because of this since he had the most versatile magic among the three.
And this was how I spent the first week after waking up from my after battle coma and it has been fulfilling if I have to say so myself. As I recalled what has happened during the last week, I slowly fell asleep and entered slumber to be prepared for yet another normal day.
