Bab 33: G: The incident at the water's edge(2)
Back in Mals room, mal kicked everyone out of her room before she fully uncovered herself and layed in her bed. She awkwardly stared at Navenia and tried to get her from checking her but She couldn't throw her out. The guys upon seeing that Mal didn't want to get checked stared angrily at him and dragged grace out of the room. Mal had no choice and gave a signal for Grace to get the guys as far away as possible from there. Grace had to comply so she then dragged them to the living room. Mal awkwardly took the towels off to reveal a body of a 15-16 year old guy and Navenia stared in surprised.
Navenia: " OKay so I am obviously older than you all so how come you look like this! I mean cough cough, you loo great."
Mal stared seriously at her, obviously uncomfortable.
Mal : " Well you see...this isn't quite me..." Before she could continue, Navenia grabbed his wanted and closed her eyes. Mal felt an invading force within him and started to panic.
Navenia opened her eyes.
Navenia: " Hmm...You are perfect indeed. Almost... It does seem that slight inflammation is present in...umm...certain regions...Um...your abdominal area. You should be fine. However, this body seem and is obviously older than 14..."
Mal stared at her for a second.
MAl: " Okay, I will say something...secret.wait you saw my insides all my body ugh."
Navenia: " Stop trying to change the conversation! You explain yourself first."
Mal: " RIght...I guess we will trade secrets. I noticed your Special house ring. When i 'change' i can recuperate my body... the change i guess causes those lingering inflammation...Its..embarrassing but..i don't know how to explain... could you call in grace?"
Navenia stayed there dumbstruck. She then replied, "OK." Left and grabbed grace while the guys protested. Once the three were in the room and made sure the guys didn't follow Mal continued.
Mal: " Grace already knows who I truly am. I am a girl Navenia and I don't know how i could talk about this exactly."
Navenia: " Um, what do you mean...but you're clearly a guy... are you?"
Mal:" NO! The ring allows me to change into a guy..older and stronger apparently. Sorry Grace for no teeling you that piece of info. I am trying to change back into my form which as far as I am concerned i AM a girl but maybe something in that lake. First I couldn't change inside and now i can;t seem to change outside. Navenia please check again."
Grace: " I understand you Mal, you know that, you could've told me earlier. You practically almost traumatized me!"
Navenia was still processing everything in her mind whilst she tried to focus on Mal body.
Navenia: " I yes, i guess there's still some lingering water mist thing inside you from the lake. I just checked my self and I seemed to have absorbed it. It's probably inhibiting your change. Let me check you Grace. Yup you are also definitely a girl. Just needed to check because apparently people change and keep secrets from their healers! BUt also you have the same thing as us. We should check the guys and make that as a cover of why I asked you inside."
Grace and Mal just gave her and annoyed look.
Mal then went to grab some clothes and then gave them an angry look when he realized they were staring at him and his body.
Navenia: " Oh right, you are technically a guy right now."
Her and grace realized what was about to happened and turned around whilst guarding the door.
MAl finished changing quickly and then made his way towards the living room where the guys were sulking. Looking all jealous.
Navenia: " Don't worry he is fine. I called grace in to check something peculiar. We three seem to have the lingering effects or substance from the lake. Maybe mal reacted badly to it..."
She was practically not lying to them, just not disclosing the whole reason.
Navenia: " Right so, i can just check you all here without having to see you personally in a room where you all will start thinking wrong! I also have to disclose how i know this...Its my specially ability."
As she checked everyone and confirmed her theory that a special essence was still lingering in their bodies due to the lakes properties, she continued explaining.
Navenia: " I am a bearer of a Special House Ring(SHR), it's a very secret thing. Something that if anyone outside you guys found out...well lets say it wouldn't be pretty for me. I could get kidnapped because of my ability to see inside people, see what is wrong, and cure them...Initially my family didn't want to let me come after the ring awoke. Next thing they knew...I left without their permission. They had no choice but to stop chasing after me and TRUST me. Trust that it was better for my future to develop deep connections to a group of friends who could help me hide this as well as cover for me whilst i did my healing work, curing a lot of people. They knew i needed to go out there and heal people. What better way than go in disguise with a team i could entrust my life to who also had things to hide and who would be there for me. No one ever who has come through this program had betrayed this mission of ours. I can also keep you guys alive while living, even if it's also risking my life. So i have you guys and i hope you guys help me as well."
Jolin: " We understand where you are coming from. As you know. Right now I only have a GHR that is in essence unity. to elaborate more. It allows me to know who I can trust and depend on. Whilst its focus is on my cousin and family, it does trickle down to us as a team. It's why I knew I could trust you all and perhaps why we all are more open than usually about our secrets. We will also try not to die so you won't have to use that ability to much, just minor to moderate healing..."
Grace: " As you know. I also only posses my GHR but not SHR so you know. My GHR allows me to increase my fighting endurance when I activate it. I usually don't because I like increasing my foundations but its there as extra help."
Mark: "Well... Full disclosure I don't have a SHR either but my family does have at least one in our vault. As for GHR...Well, father hasn't given it back to me yet...We can talk about that later."
Liam: " Well you guys know about my Ring's ability to accurately and dexterity to use more hidden knives to hunt down people. It doesn't always work, so i have to keep practicing in order to make it more effective and increase the chance of activating it whenever I need it. It can be frightening once i can unleash more and more of it's power. My other ring allows me to...sort of...know when someone is being truthful, or their truth... kind of like knowing or reading your mind a bit...but I haven't developed it fully yet...No i can't really see your thought...yet jeje. I am kidding but yea...it's more of a feeling right now...Don't worry guys. I guess I can be your lie detector for me..."
Everyone gave a sigh of relief when they found out he couldn't really see their thought yet and that they needed to be willing to do so if he ever did develop that ability later. They all staered at Mal next.
Mal :" Well, as you know...my GHR does allow me to increase my strength when i need to. Making me more powerful. I need to openly saty it... this other ring here is indeed a SHR. I need to increase my regular body...what i mean is, my base strength needs to be built so that when i activate this here...I can become stronger and better... It is still me. Look I want you guys to trust me but... I can't fully disclose certain information yet...What you need to know is that... It can be painful...It does allow me to heal and the less times I use it, the better the healing process for my...umm. original body..my base stats sort of to say..."
Mark: " ugh...Ok. Liam is he telling the truth jaja."
Liam laughed and said yes, she was sincere.
Mal added that maybe this ability of hers interacted with the water and why he must've had a negative reaction to it and left it at that. It was something that he also wanted them to keep to themselves and not reveal it to anyone. After all, having negative reactions to restorative water was weird but didn't press further.
Everyone knew that Mal would eventually explain things later. It was fine since they had just started learning how to incorporate their GHR and didn't need to rush on the SHR since it was a bit of a sensitive topic with some. Everyone finally when to rest early and were recharged for tomorrow mission.
