Finally A Normal Day

It didn't take long for the infirmary door to be broken from its hinges, as the girls who I have dearly missed burst through the broken door after Porlyusica had went to inform the guild of me waking up. The girls were surrounding my bed while talking at the same time and creating a bit of a noise that was slowly but surely getting to Porlyusica who was standing near the door, if her eyebrows twitching was any sign.

"Quiet down or I won't let you be here!" After a few more seconds, Porlyusica finally snapped as she shouted at the girls and took out a broom which she stabbed into the ground with authority. The girls finally calmed down at that and began to talk to me at a much more orderly manner.

"Are you ok now? What happened to you? How did you get so injured? And what is that black thing on your body?" Anna being the most aware of my powers amongst the girls and also the calmest asked me what they all must be thinking about and sure enough, the rest shut off whatever they were talking about and paid attention to what I had to say.

"I'm fine. Just give me a few more days and I can get my limbs back and recover from the other wounds. As for the other questions, I don't think I should be telling you. It's not that I don't trust you girls, but that you are not ready to be involved in such things." I spoke up with a hoarse voice as I told the girls what they wanted to hear before disappointing them by hiding everything that had happened while I was away.

"Fine, but as soon as you recover, you are in quite the trouble mister. Do you know what was going through us when we saw you in that condition? You have a lot of making up to do." This time it was Levy who spoke up and Cana followed up with a nod and gave my cheeks a tight squeeze, which shouldn't be done on a patient but I let it slide since I did probably worry them a lot this time.

"Ray-niisan!" We were then engaged in a casual chatter when Natsu entered with his usual boisterous personality, and met with a broom to his face courtesy of Porlyusica. Makarov and the rest of the guild tried to squeeze in but were driven away by the combined might of Porlyusica and the girls with only Makarov being allowed inside.

"It is good to see you awake Ray. I won't ask for too much details but I would need you to give me something on what happened on this trip of yours." Makarov spoke with his usual smile and I had to give a nod to his request after giving it some thought. I am after all now a member of his guild and I had come with such injuries and they might have also felt the residual aura from my fight with Black. If not for anything else, then he has to ask that of me for security measures. The guild could be in danger because I was here and I knew that I had to give him something to have him be relieved.

Following this, the rest of the guild made their way inside one by one to have a few words with me after Makarov went out. Natsu was of course loud and over theatric but I could see the concern for me inside him. Gray was glade I woke up and I had to assure him and the rest time after time that they didn't have to worry about my missing limbs. The major members of the guild like Gildarts, Mystogan and Laxus and his team weren't in the guild at the moment but I could guess what they would be like.

That was how the rest of the hour or so was spent as everyone started to slowly flow out and I was left alone to rest. This finally gave me the opportunity to check my body and see for myself on how long it might take for the effect of the law of darkness to leave.

My body was covered in wounds from head to toe so it wasn't a surprise to see my body covered in bandages and there were some broken bones as well. Now for the serious matter, darkness was spreading to my whole body from the bigger wounds. From where my left arm and leg used to be and also a huge slash mark across my chest.

From what I could see, Black's mastery over the law is way over anyone else so I need to be prepared for around a week or more of doing absolutely nothing. It took a few days for the effect to recede when I fought the others and so I can guess that it might take even more than a week and a half.

But until I can fully use my time law, I need to use whatever little control I have of it to stop the law of darkness from spreading anymore. Apart from that, there is nothing else since I don't have to train for any fights and I can just relax while spending time with the girls.

Of course, that doesn't mean that I would be stopping my training at where I have reached. Just because I am now probably the strongest in this world and that there is no real competition anymore doesn't mean I should stop here. I have to reach the demi-god rank fast since the void through which I came here is still being held by god.

But for now though, I can take some time off and do things that are not really serious in nature. Like flirting with the girls, going out for some 'hunting' and some sightseeing around the world as dates with the girls to make up for worrying them. I want to do things like that but I won't stop training though. It's just that I wouldn't be spending too much time on it and just have a workout in the morning and meditation at night to train in laws. That's it, that is all I will be doing for now.

"Alright, now that I have that sorted out let's get some sleep. I have a tough two or so weeks coming up. But at least this will have the girls' scolding postponed, ah now that I remember it, Porlyusica said she wanted to know about my condition but she never asked. Maybe she heard what I said to the girls and decided not to waste any of her time." I mumbled to myself as I settled into a sleeping posture but decided to stop anymore of thinking and just sleep. After all, I needed all the rest I can get for what the girls might put me through and I only have a week or so to prepare myself.
