The Villain's Story Chapter [108]Recovery

Chapter [108]Recovery

In a lavish hospital room, A pink-haired girl lay down on a hospital bed covered in bandages.

On her face was a respirator and multiple tubes were connected to her body, supplying her with a blue liquid.

It was Serena Soubuelle, who had drained all of her mana during the labyrinth exploration incident and had gone into a severe state of Mana Exhaustion.

By her sat Elijah, who was currently cutting up an apple and eating it.

*Munch.*

He sat there silently cutting more apples and devouring them, and G.o.d knows where those apples were appearing from.

"hmm?"

Suddenly, from the corner of his eye, he noticed Serena's Eyes twitching.

His eyes shone a bright scarlet hue for a while before he placed his hand on her forehead and spoke with a smile.

"Breathe Slowly."

His words were soothing, and soon Serena's eyes opened slowly.

"Hey, you're finally up."

He said, Serena wanted to respond but was unable to do so, she tried to get up but was stopped by Elijah.

"Don't try to move or speak, you're way too injured."

He said to her, all while chewing on another apple slice.

"You know, You keep saying I'm the stupid one but here we have you, who went into Mana exhaustion healing me."

Elijah chuckled.

"I'm the guy that didn't die even when his legs and arms were chopped off, and you still decided to heal me first. Haha!"

He laughed. All of his words were true.

Even if he was unable to command the system to heal him, the Supreme Dragon of Agri would have healed him if he reached a dangerous state.

Fortunately for him, even if he was subjected to the most gruesome pain, He could simply heal himself with the system if he had enough points. And if he didn't. Agri would just do it himself.

He couldn't let his successor die after all.

Such was the fate of one destined to be a dragon in the future.

His guardian dragon would probably step in to save him if things got far too serious.

As for someone else's case, His guardian dragons were currently missing.

Well technically, One was injured and trying to get his power back, while one had gone into hiding.

"Want an apple?"

Elijah asked her, only to be met with her sighing face.

It was then that he saw the respirator on her face and he slowly muttered.

"...oh."

[Supreme Dragon Of Fire Agri says that the future of the Fire Dragons is doomed.]

And to top it off, Agri made fun of him.

He had perfectly made his earlier statement of not being stupid, invalid.

[Supreme Dragon Of Agri advises you to hide.]

'Hmm, Hide? why?'

[Supreme Dragon Of Fire Agri Says your girlfriend's father is coming.]

And Agri needed to say only those words to get Elijah off his a.s.s, and immediately go under the bed and beg to not be found.

And moments later, the door to the room opened and a man with pink hair and scarlet eyes possessing looks that didn't lose to Elijah stepped inside.

The First rank hero had arrived.

***

I woke and looked around, only to be met with a piercing headache.

I was laying down on a bed and my body was restricted. I couldn't move well.

A respirator was attached to my face and tubes were attached to my body.

I tried to look around and found myself covered in bandages...and

My vision was blurry.

It's hard to see.

Everything I see is blurred.

I rested my head on my pillow and closed my eyes due to the pain.

Had overusage of Dragon Eyes resulted in this? It didn't happen to Elijah as far as I know.

He never bled from using his dragon eyes for extended periods.

I felt severe pain in my eyes.

I just wanted them to be closed forever.

Only after closing my eyelids did I feel some relief.

'...who brought me here?'

I wondered.

The labyrinth expedition should have ended and it was horrible.

...even I didn't expect a full-on f.u.c.king stampede. The most I thought was that a high leveled monster would have ambushed us...well that also happened.

Oh well, good thing I survived.

I thought I would die there, I was so tired and the monsters were endless, that even though they were weak, I couldn't hold on for long.

Thank G.o.d someone found me before I died.

I was currently alone in the hospital room and it was quiet.

A calming quiet.

I should better go to sleep, my eyes hurt.

...but I want to eat a chocolate bar.

I'm craving it.

Unfortunately for me, even though I could access my inventory now, my hands weren't free.

d.a.m.n it and I'm craving it too.

"Oh...well ill just get some shut-eye."

I muttered to myself and prepared to get some sleep.

But unfortunately, just as I was going to go to sleep, I heard the door to the room opening.

'What timing.'

I thought to myself.

"You're finally awake."

'hmm, what?'

I thought as I heard a voice I didn't think I would hear here.

'Richard?'

"We were really worried about you, you got most of the Elders' hearts racing when we heard about your injuries from the Vice-Princ.i.p.al."

I heard his voice again and opened my eyes, only to close them again due to the pain.

"Urgh."

I let out a pained groan.

d.a.m.nit, my eyes hurt even more now.

"Don't try to move right now, you've been sleeping for 11 days, We thought you entered a coma."

"Anyways, you made us worried there, but hey, rumor is you took down an avatar according to your teammates and continued to fight, so hurray kid."

He said.

Hearing his words, I came to a sudden realization and asked him.

"...are they okay?"

My voice was dry and croaky.

"Yes, they're all fine, the Wellingtons also praised you."

He answered as he took a seat.

I then asked him another question.

"...what happened while I was asleep?"

He turned his head to face me and his expression turned grave.

"Well, a lot of stuff happened. Shield is currently facing a lot of backlash from the public, multiple influential families and guilds are also at their throats, us included, after all, multiple of our recruits especially you got severely injured due to their negligence, The parents of multiple children demanded to be let in the campus. Although I suspect there's another reason for that demand. Shield does have a lot of secrets. But most importantly, we should be thankful there were no casualties, or there would be complete chaos outside."

He said, and then continued

"The campus is currently filled with officials, so it's better you stay inside, I, along with the other elders came here to check on Twilight's prospects, and you are the only one who was injured to such a degree."

"We still don't know what Shield has to do to appease the ma.s.ses right now, so I'll give you info later when it's all done, so for now rest, you're gonna need it."

Okay, I got all the info I wanted already, but I truly am surprised there were no casualties. Oh well, there are other things I need to ask him.

"How's my sister?"

"Samantha? Oh, you don't want to hear it, she was crying for days after she found out about your condition. It took Benson days to calm her down."

Well... it's good that she's okay.

But now, comes the important question.

"Do you have some chocolate?"

"?"

He looked at me with a confused look on his face.

What? Im craving something sweet.

And then he laughed.

"Haha, it's amazing you know."

"What is?"

I asked him and he replied.

"That at times you can be really mature, and at times you can act like a total kid."

I was left confused, to me, I just asked for chocolate, What's wrong with that?

It was then I heard his voice again.

"Oh well, I've got to go now, don't worry I'll send someone to bring over that chocolate of yours, what type of chocolate do you prefer?"

He asked me and I said.

"Milk chocolate."

It was truly the best of the best.

"Okay then, I'll send it to you, get some sleep for now."

He flashed a smile and then left.

I closed my eyes and began to ponder about what he said.

'That at times you can be really mature, and at times you can act like a total kid.'

...thinking about it more thoroughly...

I hate to admit but he is right.

I 'do' act like a kid sometimes...
