Chapter 201 [201] Summer Vacations.
Inside a green tube was Alan Peccator, connected to a respirator.
He was naked except for wearing underwear, and his bare upper body could be seen, covered in his bloodline marks.
"How are his vitals?"
Elena asked Vanessa, who after checking on a monitor, said to her.
"Stable, But it's weird..."
"Weird?"
Elena asked Vanessa. who responded.
"His body heals way too damn fast, After we got rid of the Aura around his wounds, he started to heal by himself and we didn't need to do anything, it didn't even take half a day for him to recover from his wounds. But he still hasn't woken up.
His Physical body in the best condition...and disregarding those tattoos, there is no reason for him still be sleeping?"
Vanessa explained, which prompted Elena to ask another question.
"What about his bra-"
"That's fine as well."
Vanessa cut off Elena before she could speak fully, and they both went silent staring at the screen that displayed Alan's Heartrate.
"Just What is wrong?"
Vanessa mumbled to herself as she typed away at a holographic screen.
"What about the rest? I heard Lucas Hiddleston was also in a terrible condition."
Elena Said And Vanessa answered her.
"Fine, he woke up a while ago and should be leaving for his family."
"So it's just Alan, huh."
"Yep, And I don't fucking know what's wrong. He isn't in a coma, his mental state is fine and his physical state is the best."
Elena fell into deep thought as she stared at Alan, Taking a deep look at the tattoos present on his body.
'I knew about the bird one on his right hand, but how did he get that snake and Dragon? And how did he fill his bird in as well?'
Elena thought she was one of the very few people who had seen Alan's bloodline mark but was unaware that it was a Bloodline mark.
The thought didn't even cross her mind, the acquisition of a bloodline was that rare. She just thought it was a rising trend among young boys. To get tattooed so they looked more manly or something.
As she was deeply engrossed in her own thoughts...something happened.
Alan Twitched and a beeping sound were heard as his heart rate increased on the monitor.
Both the women looked surprised and Vanessa Shouted.
"He's waking up!"
She typed some buttons on the holographic screen and the green liquid started to drain.
Alan's eyes opened as the green liquid was drained, the glass also went down...and his body fell on his knees.
His breathing was irregular, his heart was beating fast and he seemed to be out of it.
Elena hurriedly covered him with a towel as she tried to calm him down.
****
It's dark...so dark.
I feel as if I'm falling as if something is strangling my neck.
It's getting harder and harder to breathe, and the feeling around my neck is tightening.
It's as if something is slithering around it, strangling me with its body.
I'm starting to lose consciousness.
Help...goddamn it.
Ahh...what am I thinking of?
No one will help me...no one.
I need to get out of this place myself.
I tried and tried to swim up, I tried to free myself.
I grabbed whatever it was that was strangling me, and but down hard.
*Hiss...*
I bit and bit, ripped it apart.
And then when it was gone, I swam up.
I saw a blue light, up above and made my way toward the light.
*hiss.*
I heard it and looked down.
A large white snake, that could easily swallow me whole looked at me with its jade eyes.
I hurried upwards, and just as I was about to grab that light, something grabbed my foot.
The tail of the snake grabbed my foot, and the snake made its way upward, to eat me.
I tried and tried to swim up...and just as it opened its mouth, revealing its two poisonous fangs...I managed to touch the light.
And then I woke up.
****
"Are you calm now?"
Elena asked Alan who took a sip of tea.
"Yes."
Alan responded, and then calmly drank his tea whilst Elena told him numerous things.
She told him everything that happened, how he was found, about the condition of his fellow students.
"The Wellington family took back Sabrina almost immediately after, and Most of your friends have gone back."
"Most?"
"Yes only Elijah is left, he is still in his room and is making preparations to leave. You should visit him until your ride arrives."
Alan listened to her and replied.
"Ok, but what about training?"
"Why is that on your mind? You nearly died."
Elena said to Alan, and he responded in a monotone voice.
"It's because I nearly died, what if I wasn't strong enough to survive? What if a demon even stronger came?"
A lie, he knew he was lying. Kubrick was far too strong for him, and Alan lost pitifully to him.
If not for Aranus, he would have died. He...was unable to do anything.
The strongest First year, The youngest C rank...what the fuck did those titles mean if he couldn't even fight the guys that came after him?
He thought he was strong...but reality hit him hard.
In actuality, he was strong, no one could call Alan weak...it was just that he was being matched with opponents just far above his League. First, it was Ezra, and Then Kubrick.
He lost so pitifully against them...so damn miserably.
He trained for 3 months to master the Oblivion Thrust...but in the end, he was unable to perform it.
Aranus showed him how to do it...and he still wondered if he could even replicate 1% of that power.
That power that annihilated everything....could he do it?
In the end...he lost all confidence in himself.
"Alan...I suggest you take it easy these vacations, try visiting family, and being in your guild."
Elena said, her face showing pity as she looked at Alan's state.
"Don't worry about training, you have already absorbed all of my skills, and don't worry about your position as the student council treasurer for a while. I will take care of it"
"Just rest, go talk with Elijah for a while, he should be able to cheer you up."
Elena said to Alan as she patted his shoulder.
She told him to meet Elijah and informed him that his luggage was packed and he only needed to wait for his driver from Twilight to arrive.
Alan got up and left, closing the door behind him as he looked towards the ground as walked through the corridors.
He walked towards the gate of the island slowly, and then...
*CRASH!*
"Oww..."
Elijah fell as he crashed into Alan...massaging his bum.
His luggage fell, dropping clothes all around the ground.
"Ahh Damnit..."
Elijah cursed as he bent down to pick up the clothes and Alan helped him.
"Huh? You were still here Alan?"
Elijah Said..surprised to see him, he thought he was the only student still there and that he crashed into some shield staff.
Alan was wearing a hoodie, so it was quite hard to tell from behind.
"Yeah, I was about to leave as well."
Alan said as he handed Elijah his clothes.
"Thanks."
Elijah thanked him and they walked together.
"How are you so cheerful after what just happened?"
"hmm?"
Suddenly, Alan asked Elijah a question as they walked together while they were talking.
"What do you mean?"
Elijah asked he hummed.
"Elijah, we nearly died. How are you still so calm after what just happened?"
"I don't know."
Elijah lied with a straight face as he faced Alan with a smile.
He was just acting, He was confused as well and scared. Who wouldn't be scared after what just happened?
He knew very well what happened, how he was so powerless.
And adding on the weird dreams he had been getting, he was probably even more restless than Alan.
It was just that he was good at hiding it.
"I just don't think about it. If I don't think about it I Don't have to worry about it."
Alan was left shocked at Elijah's answer.
"You are weird."
Alan said, and Elijah laughed as they both reached the gate.
" I guess I am, I have to hurry now, or else I will miss the train."
"wait."
Alan stopped Elijah who was about to run, and Alan pointed at a black car.
"I can drop you at the station."
Alan said as he saw Benson exiting the car and open the door for him.
"Get in."
Alan entered the car and Elijah entered as well as he thanked Alan.
Benson stayed quiet as Alan and Elijah engaged in small talk about school life, and soon they were at the station.
Elijah exited the car, and thanked Alan once again, who was honestly getting tired of the multiple thanks.
But as Elijah exited, he stopped and rummaged through his pocket and handed Alan a piece of paper.
"Hey, if you have time, visit me and my Family's fried chicken shop. That right there is a coupon for 50% Off!"
Elijah said, and Alan looked at the piece of Paper.
[Ardor Fried Chicken!]
"I can promise you won't regret coming!"
Elijah said before quickly running away, afraid that he might miss his train.
And Alan saw his departing figure before he himself also told benson to continue driving.
'I think I'll visit.'
He thought, and then made his way towards his guild.
