Chapter 14

"Guhh!!!"

Opening my eyes while groaning and enduring the pain. My head felt very sore and dizzy.

Looking at the unfamiliar plain white ceiling. I struggled to sit up and look around.

"Eh! Where am I?"

As I looked around, I saw my body. I was wearing patient clothes.

"Wait! Is this a hospital room?"

No, if I think about it properly. It was only natural that I would be lying in a hospital room. I really pushed my body with all my might.

I was still having too much trouble handling Long Feng Jian's sword skills. In fact, just using one of his moves was already taxing on this body of mine. Although my body still had the abilities and reflexes of Kaito's body, moving as I wished was still rather difficult. Even Kaito's trained body couldn't withstand the power of using one of the Long Feng Jian sword's ultimate attacks.

"What if I use more than one attack? My body might explode."

Just imagining that makes me tremble with fear.

"But, wait! How can I use that attack? I'm just practicing to input magic energy and control it in order to use the sword slash."

Strange, I should probably discuss this with the gods. It could be dangerous if I suddenly used those various attacks and didn't know what effect they had on my body.

When I was pensive on the hospital bed. And realized something.

"How much time has passed since I lost consciousness?"

I searched for my phone, looking around. Next to my bed was a table on which were my belongings. They consisted of my cell phone, my neatly folded clothes, my sword, and a basket full of various fruits. They were arranged very neatly.

As I looked carefully, there was a paper tucked underneath the fruit basket. As soon as I picked up the paper, I realized it was not a paper but a letter.

"Who gave me this fruit basket and letter?"

I unfolded the letter and read it.

After reading the message, I turned to the fruit basket.

"So, the butler brought me this fruit basket and other items."

As soon as I finished reading the letter, I realized the one who sent it and brought me these things was my butler.

He was surprised to hear the news about me and came over immediately. He himself wanted to wait for me to get up here, but because he came in such a hurry, there was no one appointed in charge of the villa. So, he came and took care of my belongings.

"Huh! It looks like she was in a hurry to come see how I was doing."

I put the letter back under the fruit basket. I quickly picked up my cell phone that was placed on the table and turned it on.

"Really?"

Staring at my cell phone, I couldn't believe what I was seeing. I had been unconscious for over a day and several hours. More precisely 31 hours had passed.

I was completely exhausted after using all my magic energy, into that one attack.

There are many things on my mind right now. And they were all things I wanted to ask the god.

"Huh!"

I let out a few breaths and lay back down on the bed.

"I should be resting. There's no need to think about these things while my body is healing. I should think about this later, after all my body still hurts."

I closed my eyes again, resting on the bed without thinking about anything else.

*********************************************

2 hours later.

I was currently eating a banana that was in the fruit basket given to me by the butler.

When I woke up earlier, a doctor came to check on my condition. And the nurse who came to take care of me and cut some fruits onto a plate, and served them to me.

"Hah! Why didn't the gods contact me?"

I sighed. It seemed like god wanted me to contact him first or maybe he didn't want to contact me because he didn't want to get distracted and think of something else while I was healing. After all, it's only been a day and a few hours since I lost consciousness. That god was quite attentive to me.

As I was thinking that, the door to the house suddenly opened.

"Kling!"

The sound of the bedroom door rang out.

"Hello, Mr. Kaito Harukaze."

The person who opened the door was Luna Elisabetta Miyazaki. A beautiful silver-haired girl stood up.

She pulled out the chair next to my bed, and sat down, looking at me with her eyes that were as bright as sky blue.

"So, how is your body condition."

"I'm fine, although my body still hurts."

I responded to his question reflexively, even though my head was currently in a state of confusion.

'Why did she come here?'

"Thank goodness then, I was worried that you would be seriously injured by your own power."

"Why are you here?"

"HM! Am I not allowed to come visit? Even when I previously wanted to visit you, your butler forbade me to visit you."

So, she visited me before when I was unconscious.

"It's not that it's not allowed. It's just that it seemed strange that my opponent during the practical exam suddenly came to visit me in the hospital. Moreover, your nature seems different from when you were in the practical exam."

This was quite confusing, her nature was completely different from the practical exam. She looked cold and serious back then, but here she looked very gentle and caring. Even when she talked to me, she spoke with a smile.

"So, I see. Well, this may seem strange. But I'm not here out of spite, but I respect you for fighting me seriously and also your skills are really great even I have to admit it myself. Besides, you're the first person my age who's beaten me this badly."

"So, I see."

"And also why my nature is different here is that I always differentiate my affairs when in battle and when in a relaxed atmosphere like this. When I'm in battle I'll be focused and serious about my opponent, while when I'm relaxed like this I'll be friendly."

I nodded at his explanation. After saying that the atmosphere turned awkward. Even her gentle smile looks shaky. No one spoke anymore.

Because I felt uncomfortable with the awkward atmosphere. I broke the awkward atmosphere.

"Is that the only reason you came here?"

"Ah! I remember. I brought you this."

Luna raised her hand and there was a unique gift-wrapped box from inside her bag.

"This is a gift from me to a patient like you."

I took the box.

"Thank you!"

"You're welcome. I'll be going then, seeing you healthy like this gives me peace of mind."

After handing over the box, Luna turned around and headed for the hospital room door. Just as she was about to open the door, she stopped and turned back and looked at me.

"Oh! I almost forgot to say this."

"What's wrong?"

"Congratulations on passing the Seiko Gakuen entrance exam. It looks like we'll be friends at the academy."

Saying that Luna then opened the door and walked out of the hospital room.

I froze staring at the hospital room door she came out of.

"So, I passed the entrance exam."
