Year 998

3 Days of Training

I gone back to the private hospital, And remove the stitches, It was painful but it did get heal by the nurse.

I was given a Time off today, So no practice today. But they did recommend me of practice my Mana Affinity.

Someone knock to my door

"Seth? are you there"

I response back "Crista? Is that you"

"Yeah, can I came in"

"Sure" I opened the door and Crista is waiting with food and drinks with her hands. I drag the table and put it next to the bed. We ate for little while and talk each other.

"Seth, I'm strong now, you don't need to protect me"

"Your still not as strong as me you know, But at least you already use your affinity Appropriate"

During our stay here. Crista was request by Ms. Zachary to practice with her on using Light Affinity. Since Crista only been practicing 1 month ago. She never had a proper 1 on 1 with using her Affinity.

"I knew about that. But when I saw you get hurt yesterday- I was scared that I will lose you again"

I Immediately hug Crista and said "Don't worry, I won't died that Easily-"

"Ms. Crista! It's ready for your Practice"

"I'm on it!" Crista rush out of the door in Embarrassed. I look outside the door and I saw someone on the hallway was listen to us. But I think It's just the Maid observing us.

"Wait what did you talk with your father? Ms. Zachary"

"It's an Emergency that's all, Her blood pressure gone high, I don't want him to get involved what's going to happened to me"

"But, You said-"

"I see, But are you really fine, what's going on?"

"With the Lockdown of the entire Capital, Nobody can get in nor out, People in homes literally starving to death- But We need the event to finished so this government can finally fix it's flaws"
