MERCIA
45. The Strange World.
The Strange World.
August spread out his arms shutting his eyes breathing Proxima's air.
"ah very fresh" he was surprised to look at the sky, he saw two suns of different sizes and very strange, somehow he could look directly without dazzling and not make his eyes hurt, he said, the size of the sun is one third smaller than the earth, and another half.
August was amazed "so beautiful" he jumped up and down without using his strength, wanting to feel his gravity
'it looks like the gravity in this world is smaller when I hear this world is wider than the earth.it's really strange' he thought.he was not aware there was a pair of eyes that saw it.
"why did you break my flower plant?" the voice of a woman.
August was surprised.he looked behind a woman holding a wooden stick staring hard.he then looked down at his feet, some flower plants had been damaged because he stepped on. August panic.
"sorry I accidentally fixed it."
"are you a spy?"
suddenly two women and a man came closer.
"Based on crazy women, it's your job to get water instead of dating" said one woman in a green dress.
"Hey.. Elyn if the teacher finds out you're dating, he'll punish you." said another woman in brown.
'hmm. So this girl is named Elyn.' August thought.
"i'm not dating, I caught a spy."
"Stop the three of you, why are you always bothering him?" said a newly arrived woman trying to mediate the atmosphere.
"you don't defend Isona, don't you hear Elyn's words? he managed to catch a spy." said a man.
"you think I didn't know you wanted to frame Elyn, Hey Dion did you forget your current position?"
"wait. It's all a misunderstanding, I happened to pass by here and accidentally stepped on Miss Elyn's flower plant" August said.
Isona looked at August. 'hmm. This man had no power whatsoever' he then saw the place where August bediri, looked as if some flowers had been crushed underfoot.
"Elyn why do you think he's a spy? ask Isona.
"he has ruined my mother's favorite flower."
Isona miris heard it. "Elyn go get some water, lest the teacher get angry, I'll fix this, your mother's favorite flower."
"well, thank you Isona."
"the three of you go too."
"don't you think this is over Isona!" said the woman in brown clothes and walked away.
"you'd better go, they'll come back and bring you big trouble."
"thank you for your help, but I'm not leaving I want to make sure Elyn doesn't get into trouble because of where I am" August said.
"you or Elyn's not always getting into trouble with those three guys, they're always bothering her."
"if you insist on helping him, help him bring water from the river to his teacher."
"alright, I'll go help her."
August left Isona, apparently the distance to the river was quite far, he thought.he was very surprised to see about fifteen large jerrycans lying around waiting for Elyn to enter the water into it.
"Hey.. Elyn..!"
Elyn looked at "you want what you don't fuck around I'm gonna beat you up."
"relax.. Isona told me to help you lift that water."
"really.so you're not a spy?"
"no! I just happened to pass by, I'm sorry I ruined your mother's favorite flower"
"if Isona says you're not a spy, I believe."
"who helped you lift this jerrycan?"
"didn't you say you'd help me?"
"why did you do it?"
"teachers will give me money to buy medicine for my mother, sometimes I can also practice, Isona who teaches me. hey what's your name?"
"My name is Mercia."
"your name is weird"
August feels Elyn's personality is extraordinary. she is very strong. she is very patient for the sake of her mother.
"can we take that water now."
"alright" Elyn took a loaded jerrycan and picked it up. While August was carrying two jerry cans, he saw the road they were traveling was very uphill, making Elyn a little difficult.
"Elyn wait a minute."
"what's up? you tired? you should have brought just one."
"no, no, there's a problem on your shoulder, you can get injured and your training will go to waste" August pretended.
"where do you know?!"
"Hey I'm studying medicine so you know, here's how I'm going to prove I'm going to press the nerve point on your shoulder that you'll feel the difference later."
August pressed Elyn's shoulders and back. August just wanted to channel his energy to Elyn, he could not bear the girl lifting dozens of large jerry cans herself.
"why does my back feel cold?" ask Elyn.
"your blood flow is blocked, now it's starting a little smoothly, it's done."
Elyn immediately took his jerrycan.he was surprised.
"why does this jerrycan feel so light?" ask Elyn.
August smiled, and the two of them finally walked back to a temple.When they entered the temple, all eyes looked at them.
"Teachers are them" said Dion.
A middle-aged man looked at August and Elyn, and then walked up next to her, a woman dressed in black.
"so you now dare to bring a spy to my temple?" the middle-aged man asked Elyn.
Isona who sees Elyn in trouble immediately runs "Teacher Irric, he's not a spy."
Isona then recounts a misunderstanding between August and Elyn.
"i'm not going to swallow your story just like Isona, there's only one way to prove it, Miss Ravenna are you willing?" ask Irric.
"of course." The woman named Ravenna suddenly flicked her finger and a light the size of a pinky nail appeared to point to August's forehead
August did not expect to get the woman's attack, he felt sleepy he fell asleep in a standing position.
"what's your name?" ask Ravenna.
"Mercia" replied August still in unconscious condition.
"are you a spy?"
"i'm not a spy."
"Why are you here?"
"i just happen to be here, I don't know anyone here."
"Why don't you go?"
"i don't want Elyn to get in trouble because of me, I'm dealing with the girl, her mother is sick but other people are always bothering her and her teacher isn't being fair to her."
Isona and Elyn are happy to hear August's words, not for Irric and Dion, they are like slapped in front of Ravenna.
"that's enough" said Irric.
While for Ravenna he was a little surprised, August's remarks about Irric contrasted with what he often heard about Irric.
"Elyn from today onwards you don't have to deliver any more water, this is your pay." Irric threw two gold coins at Elyn.
"teacher Irric I'm sorry, I promise to work harder, my mother is sick I need money to buy medicine." Elyn cried broke.
"it's your business. Now go. Take your girlfriend!" Irric pointed at August."
As August wakes up, he is a little confused and slowly understands what has happened, while Ravenna is completely shocked to see Irric's true nature.
"Teacher Irric have mercy on my mother, she is the founder of this temple, let me work here."
August and Ravenna are stunned. While Irric hears emotion he raises his hand to slap Elyn. When the hand almost hits Elyn's cheek, August catches Irric's hand.
"i'll break your hand, if you try again."
Irric immediately pulled his hand.
reposeful.
No one expected anyone to dare threaten Teacher Irric. Ravenna and Isona were surprised, according to them August did not have any ability.
"Elyn was your mother really the founder of this temple?!" ask August.
"i. yes, then my mother fell ill and teacher Irric replaced her."
"Elyn. Let's go see your mother, I'll try to treat her illness." August asked.
"Mercia can you really treat my mother?"
"we'll try." August and Elyn wanted to walk away, but they saw that the gate was immediately closed.
"you think you can just walk away after challenging me?
"do you want me to humiliate you in front of your students?" august said without fear.
Irric immediately shot towards August. August lunged at Irric's chest and then returned to his position super fast.Nobody could see his movements except Ravenna, he could only catch a glimpse. and it again amazes him.
Irric did not know what made him bounce blood, he looked at August before he fell unconscious.
"you..you dare hurt teacher Irric?" said Dion.
August glanced at Dion. "yes, and I'll break your legs and hands if you still bother Elyn."
"do you not know who I am? I'm Dion son of Valon king of the Galan kingdom."
"then I will break your legs and hands and drag you to the gate of your father's palace, tell me where your kingdom lies." asked August.
"Well.you.."
"Mr Mercia, my name is Ravenna, I hope you don't do that to Dion, I'll guarantee he won't bother Elyn again."
"what's your relationship with him?"
"he's my nephew."
