Chương 53: IT'S NAVI..
***The Upper sector of the Outskirts of 'Eclipse of the Ocean', Chingford's Academy..
Finally getting out of his room today took a lot of willpower, grit and hunger. Navi felt like his entire body has hosted a party to a magnitude five earthquake and is now currently held together by pure pain instead of muscles.
His skin, his head, his heart, his lungs and even his bones felt different in a bad way. At first after waking up he didn't really feel much but as he started putting a pen down on all the things he's gotten from his dreams, the pain started to crash into him like waves followed by the most brutal headache he has ever felt in his life.
It seemed like his brain was so numb and ringing that it couldn't truly register the pain in the beginning when he woke up but that changed,.. that changed real fast.
Black blood through his mouth as his lungs strained like never before. He ended up on the ground convulsing in pain with muffled growls coming out of his mouth as his body folds up with each little movement hurting more than the last.
He soon faints.
He fell asleep in a sense but it seems he couldn't handle the sudden shocks of pain and passed out. Out of some miracle he's very grateful for, he didn't have the usual 'dream' and when he finally woke up, the sun is already making a beautiful exit for the moon.
It's already late evening but atleast the hours of 'sleep' made him feel much better than when he had just woken up.
Navi crawled his way back to his feet then out of the room. He seems to have been lucky enough that none if his room-mates came back to see his awful state but still the first thing he needs right now isn't appreciating his luck but rather a cold shower.
With a towel, a bar soap and a bag containing replacement clothes, Navi makes his way into the public bathroom slowly with his dark circles deeper than ever. The stairs felt cruel to his body even though he is going downwards but soon he makes it through the 'Journey'.
Running and rolling water sounds come from the room with tens of disciples about to retire to their Chambers already getting themselves cleaned up. Navi didn't have the energy to care much about any sort of privacy as he just moves on to an empty slot while attracting a bit of attention due to his height that's less than the average present as he is twelve.
He only gets first curious glances but never a second, it seems he isn't the only one without energy to care for anythingelse but relieve, the Martial trainings has also done quite the numbers on everyone in here with the only difference being that Navi didn't care enough or has the energy to give even a first glance.
A very deep sigh escapes Navi's mouth as soon as the cold water hits his skin and hair as a small shiver rocks through his body. The cold water always brings him back to reality.
With five minutes left on his time, Navi fetches out the soap and does justice to his body. He rinses off the white foam before doing an everyday ritual of checking himself out in the mirror.
Rubbing off the steam on the cold glassy surface with his palm he looks straight at himself without much expression on his face.
The same fiery yet cold orange eyes with reddened veins in his whites, the same pale skin, ink black hair and really bad dark eye circles except the fact that everything is a bit worse than the last day and the day before that.
His circles have gotten worse, his hair a bit more overgrown and his pale face looked a shade more of unhealthy. Still handsome yet cold and his gaze has lost something.
Seeing himself, he subconsciously tries to touch his neck just to realise that his pendant isn't there, he suddenly really misses his mom today and he doesn't even know why.
Either way, his time is up and he knows better than to stay longer and so he makes his exit after putting on a clean set of robes.
He first drops off all he have used back into his quarters cabinet before trailing straight to the cafeteria with his teardrop shaped pendant now hanging on his neck.
The cafeteria is loaded with hungry and tired disciples stuffing themselves up with energy. The normally bland food of the cafeteria doesn't taste half as bad whenever somebody just returns from a set of brutal martial training so Navi isn't much surprised by the canopy of sounds of spoons and chopsticks wildly slapping against plates from different table sets.
Not at all daring to feel selfish to his numb body, Navi soon fills up a tray with energy packed food and two Nutrient packs as he scans the big place for an empty corner.
Unfortunately for him, there's only empty wooden seats and not tables so he's forced to pull a seat with a group of other disciples.
Every body on the table seems to already know themselves as they speak to each other while eating. All Navi had to do is give a polite smile as he pulls a seat.
They paused for a while to give him a side glance but seeing his age and the fact that he immediately focuses on his meal, they soon ignore him as they continue their gossip.
"..because of this, the death duel has been approved and is going to hold in one week in the Academy's duel stage, all disciples that can take in the violence are free to bear witness.",- A girl on the six-man dining table says before diving into the meat soup in front of her with a pair of chop-sticks.
"If I were him, I'll back off from the fight. He hasn't sensed mana and neither has she but considering the amount of help she's getting it wouldn't be miracle anymore if she can sense mana overnight, by then the chances of him getting any sort of justice would be buried alongside his very broken body..", Another guy says as he sucks up some very nasty meat flavoured spaghetti.
"Well that's why you're not him, he's a man and you're missing a pair of balls. He already knows his low odds but he also knows some things just have to be done..", Another Man says while pointing to the other guy sucking spaghetti with his chop-sticks.
"How dare..*Slurp* how dare you insult by balls?!..", The guy yells with his voice high in both anger and embarrassment.
"Yeah, he has balls the sixe of cannonballs!..", An elven lady by the insulted guy's side says defensive while unknowingly explaining their relationship to an uncaring Navi.
The guy who just give out the insult shakes his head and ignore the duo before taking in gulps of water from his cup but another girl on the table gives a *Hush* sound to the last woman who spoke.
"Shhhush, there's a kid on the table..", The young lady says with a glare before giving an upset sigh.
Turning to Navi she says with a friendly smile,.. "Hey kid..
"It's Navi..", Navi cuts her off immediately with a deep and calm voice that takes everyone around the table by surprise.
"Huh?..", The woman exclaims softly in confusion and surprise.
Finally lifting his gaze out of his food, Navi looks straight into the lady's eyes with his distinct orange eyes and then he says calmly.
"My name,.. It's Navi.".
The young lady blinks a couple of times with a little blush surfacing on her skin as she stares right at Navi's eyes and face.
Navi soon takes off his gaze off her as he dives right back into his meal.
