CHAPTER 28: TRIALS (2)

Meanwhile, in Blu's subconscious.

Blu wakes up.

"Ughh...

Where am I?"

As he searches through the place he perceived.

— It's dark...

He was then perplexed as it was dark and he couldn't find anyone.

Blu then shouted out

"Hello! Anyone here".

As his echoed, he noticed no one was there.

Worried again, he shouted again.

"Hello!! Anyone!

Hello!"

Having no reply, his face turned gloomy as he then said with a low voice.

"It seems like I'm the only one here".

He laughed slowly, as he said.

"Ha... Am all alone again".

Blu then shrouded, hiding his face.

After a prolonged time.

Blu then asked himself.

"How long has it been... A day... A week...

Ahh... Am i dead?

I don't know again".

Blu was almost driven to despair, as he was stuck alone.

*Shine*

Then came a light, it shined brightly, as it rays covered Blu.

On noticing this, Blu rose his head to glance at the source of the light.

The light was too bright, he then covered his face with his hand in view of the light.

With his hand blocking the light, Blu heard a voice.

"Hello".

He then opened his hands, as he saw a white cloth, he said.

"White".

"Hey, when are you going to drop your hands?"

On hearing the voice again, Blu instantly dropped his hands.

What Blu saw was a girl with a smile so graceful and appearing with silky white hair, crystal blue eyes and white dress that shone the entire black space, turning it into white.

"Wow...".

Blu was in awe as he had never seen such a beauty before.

The strange person then adjusted her voice to say.

"Welcome, Blu...".

Blu was surprised as she knew his name.

"Am Elly, your personal angel".

On hearing those words, Blu was angered.

As he recalled all the experiences he had to go through without an explanation of what is happening, Blu stood up and said.

Angel!!

He then laughed a little as he said

Angel... Hah...

Blu then adjusted his breath, calming himself with deep long breaths.

Hah...

Confused by his actions, the angel waited.

Afterwards, he gazed at Elly and said.

OK, so you're my angel right?

Elly then responded with a nod.

Blu then noticed it and said.

"Could you explain to me why all that happened".

She was then confused by his words and said

"What happened?"

*Pow*

Angered by those words, Blu then resulted in violence, as he punched Elly.

While being down, holding her cheeks, Elly said.

Why did you punch?

Blu then said

"You reincarnated me into that hell, and now you don't know why?"

"Are you kidding me?"

Elly then said.

That's what I wanted to explain to you.

Hmm...

Confused by her words, Blu asked.

What did you say?

I'm here to explain your situation to you?

After hearing that, Blu went silent, waiting for the explanation.

Elly then recovered herself, adjusting her breath to say.

"Which kind of a person punches an angel?"

Blu then went on his knees saying.

Sorry

Letting out a sigh, Elly said.

"Hah! Well, it's not mostly your fault."

With a smile, Elly then said.

"Ok now I would explain to you what happened".

"Ehmm... You have been reincarnated into a world, but it's not a world".

Responding with a baffled face, he said.

"Huh, it's not".

Elly then said

"Well, technically it's your former world, but not".

Still puzzled, Blu said.

"What do you mean?"

Replying, she said.

"Well, don't sweat the details,

You would know later,

Am merely here as your guide".

Blu said.

"Guide?"

Replying, she said.

"Yes, your guide".

"You have been reincarnated without notice, so we are giving you a choice".

He then said.

"Choice?"

Gracefully, Elly said.

"Yes, a choice.

You can either go to heaven or return back".

Blu was then pondered, with his head down.

"Hmmm...".

"Well, you have all the time you want".

She said after observing Blu.

Blu then recalled all his experiences back at Area 02.

***

'I was reincarnated without a notice, and now am given a choice to return to heaven or return back'.

'This is a delicate choice, but if I had to choose—I would rather choose to return'

***

After a short while, Blu then opened his mouth with an unshaken resolve as he spoke.

"I have decided.

I'm going back."

Elly noticed his resolve, smiled and then said.

"Why?"

Blu stood still and smiled, as he said.

"Because, I have someone important to me to take care of".

Elly was surprised by the fact that Blu's words didn't have any regrets.

So she said.

"Hmm... OK".

After a pause, she said.

"Returning you back without any special skill would feel terrible, so I'm going to give you a skill, but you would have to go through 3 trials in order to gain it".

She then glared at Blu and said.

"Would you still like to go through them?"

Blu then responded with courage.

"Yes".

Elly then said

"Are you sure".

Blu then pondered. As he recalled all his family.

— All this while I had to fight, bearing everything without any skill but my brain, and because I didn't have any power to protect anyone, I lost them.

Now that I have one person waiting for me, I have to be powerful enough to protect her.

— That is the only atonement i can offer for those i failed to save.

After a while, he said.

"Yes".

*Shine*

Elly then shone brighter as she said.

"OK, here we go...".

After the light went out.

"Ahhh..".

Blu felt himself sinking down a sea, confused over the fact that he is underwater, he said.

"Huh! Where am I?

It feels like the sea, but it doesn't feel like am it.

A short while later, Blu was lying on the grasses.

"Huh, where...".

As he stood up and surveyed the place, he detected a vast land filled with grasses and no hills.

*Thump*

Blu hear voices of foot steep.

As he then shifted his gaze backwards, he encountered his former self before reincarnating.

"What?"
