MESSING AROUND (revise)
"urg my head!!"
as I wake up nobody was there, I began to remember what happen yesterday while practicing
"THAT'S RIGHT THE MATCH!!"
"urgh!!"
suddenly a loud voice interrupt my though
"HAHAHAHA boy you better lie down some more, I'm afraid that I got a bit serious last time haahaha sorry bout that.... well then boy, can you explain what is yesterday?"
"urgh" "hmm it seems like you still haven't fully recovered from the effect, fine I'll summarise for you" Tora-san an elderly who don't look like an elderly at all, having a bare chest like a tiger and a huge waist like a bear, when he sit beside me I couldn't help but to feel the huge gap difference not just in physique but also in strength. "yesterday fight was good, thanks to that it's truly been a while I got a little bit serious in fighting hahahaha boy I need to thank you for helping me move this rusty body of mine" I look at this shameless old man bragging about his strength, sensing my gaze Tora cough a bit and continue "ehem, well then here what happen, yesterday after being cornered you suddenly burst with power, it's like unleashing all of your energy for a mere second however the thing is your movement, energy control, and sight, have exponentially increase not just twice but a new qualitative improvement." "mana berserk state?" "mana berserk state literally what the meaning is, it's occur when certain condition are met causing the flow of mana to being reversed unleashing a powerful energy surge but it did not end there as one enter mana berserk state one literally will able to unearth inner potential that being kept secret inside the body." "however there is severe side effect to it, not just that you lose control, your body will weaken for a period of time and if you didn't manage to snap out of this state you will die" "what die!!?" "hahahaha no need to fear, you are pretty lucky because it's not my first time dealing with people who enter mana berserk state, plus any person who survive in those state is not without benefit, as i say as mana berserk push your body to its limit, its also crush down your potential ceiling or limiter allowing you to go much further without worrying about hitting a wall. well its starting to get late rest first, i want to check on Miori. " .,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, in the middle of the night while resting on his futon, Danial thought was far from calm. "... haih I don't understand anymmore" As he recall the energy that swelling from the last attack, he can feel how much its already being depleted but at the same time Danial notice several improvement on his body plus the flow of the energy in his body much more faster showing that his vein had become more robust and powerful. *knock*knock* peeking into the room was fatty ahem I mean Fangzhi "oh brother you awake! thanks goodness I was terrify thinking that you will be in coma" "huh coma!" "oops!!" startle by my response Fangzhi hurriedly covered his mouth as if nothing happen ".....Fatty, no Wong Fangzhi what the hell happen?" "errr... PLEASE FORGIVE ME!" with innocent face the fat boy in front of me hurriedly kowtow, looking at those lump of fat try to bow down seems very funny indeed so I forgive him. "so what the hell happen?" "uhum well brother you know actually i secretly drug your drinking water, and.... there was a little bit side effect other than strengthen your body and mana to a certain extent it will also corrupt your mind a little bit..... well just a little bit, a really little bit, also please don't misunderstand brother i do that because i want to help you focus during the classes but who would have thought that you would get into the fight triggering the hidden effect!" seeing the doubt in my face Fangzhi who couldn't bear to lie to his own brother in arm finally confessed "... ok fine, fine really I'm sorry, so please stop looking at me like that. actually if it were normal people who consume it..." "if it were normal people?" "well the corruption is enough to make them die" "!!!?"no wonder, no wonder. I am someone who believe my mental strength is stronger than anyone else after all I am a reincarnator however that day while fighting Tora-san somehow my body feels amazing but my mind feels lethargic and all the emotion that was being suppressed flow freely as if it was a broken dam. however Looking at Fangzhi apologetic face Danial realize it was never good to suppressed emotion, for thing like this will eventually happen. looking at Fatty he smile instead of getting mad. "eh.... erm brother you're not angry??" I sigh and smile slightly "Fatty I'll need to thanks you someday, now let's hurry go to sleep we have our test tomorrow right?" adjusting the position to sleep, Danial could not help but smile . 'for today I have learned an important lesson' ................... inside a certain forest, Miori was briefing the objective of the first mission to us "Alright you two, you must protect me from the danger of this forest and depending how much you can protect me, I will grade your mark don't worry I am very partial even though someone who sneak a peak at me like a pervert was taking the test" she then face toward me, I subconsciously avoid her gaze. as if finding my reaction funny she giggle slyly 'this sly fox' looking around the forest made me think that the dimness in the forest here was no different than nighttime "hey Miori-san does this forest always this gloomy?" "Ara? if it were night than you guys probably won't even manage to leave this place alive you know! rather right now it the most ungoriest time ever." hearing her response Fangzhi gulp, but I was not surprised because since earlier my sense was tingling as ever telling as if something very dangerous lurking ahead, one misstep and I will die. my whole body was actually trembling, my muscle is tense, every pore of my cell open wide, in those sense I was at my highest alert level since I lived in this world. However its hard to focus as Fangzhi keep mumbling incoherent thing. "FATTY!" "YEWS!!?" "SHUT UP NOW!" "huh brother what are....." however before he can continue Miori made him shut his mouth "eh weird, why is it suddenly become so quiet?? The forest... is not usually like this!" "so my sense is not tricking me. Damn it, i was hoping it was a false alarm instead" looking around in high alert, the fat boy ask Danial why they are so alert and sensitive when they just recently get into the forest. "My friend, Don't you notice yet? we have walk for a while since now, at first when entering the forest there is a lot of sound yet now, the silent was deadly as if the forest itself was dead" "huh??" "Fangzhi-san look around you" Miori remind fatty to look around him "erm... brother why are the surrounding look environment become so different from earlier?" "heh took you a long time to notice, my fat brother." then Danial turn around to look at Miori, he need to ensure this yound lady from the house of Sayaka is safe while they found the way out from the forest. "Fatty let's go" even now Danial spidey like sense never stop ringing inside the head, over the time as they travel it become even more stronger "RAAARGH!!"a huge specter appear in front of us, "ahhhhh!! wha...what is that??" "calm down fatty the real battle will begin now" then I look at Miori who was not smiling since the very start as if she didn't even expect for the exam to be like this "Fangzhi, whatever you do , never let those entity touch the girl!" from then on our hellish journey begin.at first it was still ok, however as we go further the number of specter we fight keep increasing and so do their strength. "I want an explanation" "huh brother? ah yes well specter is spirit type monster so normal physical attack will do no damage" "no, not that and not from you" "well.... while I also did not expect it to be like this, you do know this is against the rule right?" "and does our current situation looks normal even to someone like you?" thinking for a while Miori finally speak "indeed supposedly as we go further outside of the forest the number of monster should dwindle and their level should drop more, yet as far as we go the opposite was true instead" "eh wait then.. aren't we trap here? I...." Fangzhi couldn't finish his word before Miori continue "Well technically we are, since this place is special" I looked at her " are you telling me this forest was special" "hmm, Danial-san I belive calling it special is understatement! After all this whole forest is a nightmare itself. I heard from my mother in the past when it found some desirable person or thing wonder inside it, that person will never have a second chance of escaping" "then, then how the hell we suppose we get out of here" hearing the question Miori showed a trouble expression. "It is not like i don't want to tell you guys but I also do not know, our original mission was to scout and roam around the outer area of the forest, i do not understand how can we stuck in the inner area instead" Knowing that we will not get any info further, I call Fatty to continue. However as we go more and more further I start to notice that we are going around a certain loop, of course a scholar like Fangzhi also started to noticed the pattern "hahahaha cursed me, i guess were stuck here" "brother don't give up, i think i already get how the formation here work" fatty pat his chest smugly "Formation? are you saying the reason we're stuck here is because a fomation?" "umm formation? what are you guys talking about?" with a blank face, and a questioning expression Miori express her thought "hehehe no need to act anymore Miori-san, while indeed the forest seems like a maze there is a few hint that give me the idea how it's work, for example let's see if we step here..." "huh!??" ding' suddenly a path bright up " hehehehe as expected " 'I never know there is hidden formation here and furthermore never thought that this fatty already think of an idea to solve it' "eh...eh!!? wait..wait a minute why is there a formation here?suddenly hearing miori exasperate voice we turn facing her "eh there suppose not have any formation here?" "ROAAARRRRR"" """!!!!????"""
