SIDE STORY 4: LIGHTNING AND FIRE (2)

"Need any help?"

"Old man."

Cecilia was deep in the forest belongings to the Kaminari house as she placed her back against a tree and tended to her own wounds.

Bandaging her arms had been quite complicated but she had managed to do it by biting the other end.

Right now though, an old man with an old beard spoke quietly as she stood next to her.

Cecilia grimaced as she realized that she had felt absolutely nothing before he spoke.

This realization made her bite her lips in frustration.

The old man, looking at her reaction, could only chuckle inwardly in admiration.

This was why he liked this little girl.

Anyone else in her place would have not cared.

Thinking stupid thoughts like this would stifle their own growth.

"It seems like you got beaten up today again."
