The rest of the day slowly went on, Yumi having returned at some point gave Nero a bowl of the drink that she had made, it tasting incredibly bitter and telling him that she was taking the day off in order to stay around just in case he needed anything
"Where's Aura?" Nero asked
"She went out the moment I got back" Yumi answered "she looked angry, what happened?"
"I over did it in training and ended up like this, then when she ordered me to rest I cimplained back at her and she snapped" Nero explained
"That doesn't seem like her" Yumi commented, having known Aurathia for only a short time she knew that she wasn't the kind of person to get angry easily "there's probably a reason but you should recover before you ask her and let her calm down, I'm sure she will tell you if you ask her"
"I will" Nero said with a small determined smile
"I'll be in the next room" Yumi told him "shout me if you need anything, for the time being get as much rest as you can" taking the bowl away
"Got it, thanks" Nero replied as he closed his eyes
For the rest of the day Aurathia never came in to see how Nero was doing, with Yumi being the one that brought him food and water, the only evidence that she had returned was her talking with Yumi and being able to hear 2 sets of footsteps walking around the mansion
Finally at the end of the day the door to his room opened and Aurathia came in
"Aura" Nero said quietly, not knowing whether she had calmed down enough for him to ask her
"Flip over" she stated
Realizing she was still angry Nero slowly flipped over, his muscles still aching
Sitting next to his back Aurathia began to update his status, her eyes focused soley on his back as she worked in silence
"I expect you to never have stat increases like this after a single day again unless it is the boost that you get from having a new trainer again" Aurathia stated, throwing a sheet of paper next to Nero's head before leaving the room "and don't go into your training zone" being the last words she spoke before walking away

Watching her leave Nero slowly flipped back over and rested his head on the pillow, trying to get back to sleep again
Seconds later Nero materialized in the training area
"Are you alright?" Rias immediately asked, having seen the state he had ended last night in
"I'll be ok with a bit more rest" Nero replied "I'm just here to tell you that I need to skip todays session and to get the system to let me just sleep normally tonight"
"That is a good idea" Rias nodded "you need rest after pushing yourself that hard"
"Aura thought the same thing and got angry at me when I complained" Nero sighed "everyone has told me to rest making me feel bad about what I have done"
"She's worried about you" Rias said with a kind smile "and from what you have told me about her she isn't the kind of woman who would get angry at you for no reason, and I'm sure if you ask her when she is ready she will tell you"
"Now you're starting to sound like Yumi as well" Nero chuckled
"She sounds like a nice woman too" Rias smiled "now get out of here, you promised no staying in the space so you should get going, you didn't need to go out of your way to come here"
"Yeah but I don't know how to interact with the system except for when I'm here" Nero shrugged before looking upwards "system, can you let me out of here for tonight in order to properly rest"
"Acknowledged, training space will be made to be unable to be accessed until the user wishes to return"
With the systems words Nero began to de-materialize with Rias waving goodbye as he went
The next morning Nero woke up, not feeling as rested as he usually felt due to not having the training spaces ability making sure that he was well rested and having lay in bed all day he had not been that tired, leading to him not having the best night sleep
It didn't take long for Aurathia to come in, her gaze just as intense as the day before
"Flip over" she ordered in the same tone as the night before
Nero struggled over in the same way as the night before, but with slightly more ease due to having a whole nights rest
Getting to work Aurathia updated his status, her gaze never wavering from his back before she was done
After she lifted her finger from his back Nero was able to hear a small sigh of relief
"Your endurance went up a point but that's just due to your muscles getting stronger from recovering which I will allow" she remarked, her tone noticably lighter than the day before "keep resting, I'll be back tonight"
"Aura, can we talk?" Nero asked as he slowly flipped back over in the bed, not wanting for her to keep being so cold to him
Aurathia paused in the doorway "tonight" she mummered before walking off, gently closing the door behind her
That day was the same as the one before it, with Yumi bringing food and water, but due to having enough rest Nero was able to take bigger bites and was able to at least hold the spoon with some difficulty, eventually deciding that it was better to let Yumi continue to feed him due to having spilled porridge all over himself the one time he tried to eat on his own, something taht made Yumi chuckle
When night finally came Aurathia entered the room, her expression still not back to normal "so, what did you want to talk about?"
"I wanted to ask why you reacted so seriously to me over doing my training, it's not like you and it worried me, I know I was in the wrong and I'm sorry but I don't like seeing you like this" Nero pleaded "please, tell me why you reacted so strongly"
After thinking for a short while, looking at Nero in front of her Aurathia finally let out a sigh, as if she had been tense this whole time and had been holding in a breath for to long "alright, I'll tell you" she said, taking a seat next to Nero's bed
"It goes back to when I was still in heaven and was still a relatively new goddess" she started telling him.
