Chapter 61: The Power of the Protagonist

"Michaela Arryndra"

I came to my senses when a name I had not heard for a long time came back from him. My mind was screwed up for a moment.

I opened my eyes and breathed hard. An old woman in a black and white uniform was swarming around me.

"Ah .." I said when I realized that they were changing the bandage on my body.

"My head is dizzy... Are my wounds severe?" I asked the old lady.

"You are lucky this time, sir" he said indifferently as he continued to clear my wounds.

"So yeah .." I said sighing.

I was pensive for a while, trying to re-digest the absurd things that happened during the time I was unconscious.

Covering my eyes with my hands, I tried to endure the pain as the woman began to clean my wounds with cotton and water.

'Michaela Arryndra? Is that what I heard?'

'Who is he? How does he know mylady?

'Or ... just a coincidence?'

'No, it's too coincidental'

'Then who is he? Is he someone who knows us?'

'Well, it's you, mylady?'

My chaotic mind dissolved me more and more in the memory of my past.

"Hey----, you're smart, aren't you?" Asked a girl with black hair and beautiful purplish blue eyes.

"No, I think you're always in front of me, mylady" I said as I continued to comb her black hair.

"Hmph! You just want to make me happy." He said as he pursed his red lips.

"But if anyone wants to ask, maybe I can answer" I said.

"Hei~ is actually a novel I read. But .... For some reason the author has not continued his novel." He began to tell stories.

"At the end of the chapter he updated, there was a question. I want to know the answer" he said.

"What's that?"

"Which would you choose if you were the protagonist of the novel. The power to rise, or the power to win?" Plain asking.

"Hmm, what is it?" I ask myself.

"What do you think, mylady?" Ask her.

"Muu~ if I can answer it I won't ask you" he said, pursing his lips.

"Ah .. alright, I guess I will choose the strength to rise if I am the protagonist" I chanted.

"Why? Why did you choose that?" Ask curiously. His serious expression surprised me a little at the time. After all, I just thought of the question as a past wind. But I think I was wrong.

"Because ... Master called me, I have to go now mylady!" I tried to escape from his question.

"You haven't answered!" The protest was pulling the edge of my shirt.

"Uurgh miss .." lamented.

"Ke ke ke! I am the doorkeeper! You can't leave before you finish your answer!"

"All right! I guess because I'm the protagonist! And the protagonist is always right, right?" Said evasive.

"Hmm .. I guess that's true, but--- the ones I know wouldn't answer something like that! So it's wrong!" Her speech.

"Uurgh .. miss" I complained to her for not being able to escape.

"Hmmm!"

"Well .. let me ask, why did the lady ask me that?" Tanyaku later.

"Hmm? Why yes, I guess because the protagonist is similar to you! He's a good man. But always doing a lot of bad things to protect me, good people in my eyes" he said.

I was a little surprised when the girl said it, with a serious expression without the slightest hint of joking on her face.

I sighed for a moment, "no, I'm not like that" I said involuntarily.

"Huh? Why did you say that?" Ask innocent.

"Wait until the writer updates the story. Until then, I'll tell you what the difference is" I said trying to calm him down.

"Promise!"

In fact, at that time the reason was very different. Back then, my reason was you, Mylady.

'The reason is, if I had that power, no matter how deep you fall, I would definitely rise with you. No need to worry about winning, because with you, I can win everything'.

...□□□...

For a while I muttered to myself in my heart. Long enough for someone to see me.

"Madame .. what you-"

"Aah!" Said a young lady surprised as I turned to her.

"What do you want to say, Eri?" Asked the old lady to the young lady who seemed surprised by my revival.

"You're sober! Master!" Said surprised.

"What did you say? Of course you have been aware since then" said the old woman indifferently.

"Eh? Waitie? You realize sometime!?" The old woman then went into shock.

"You just realized I'm awake!?" Narrator.

...□□□...

"So? Actually, you woke up earlier, but .. madame did not realize it? Even after you had him chat a few words?" Senior Ian's question was greeted by my nod.

"Pff!" The sound of laughter from the other two people, Lance and Senior Judith mocked me.

"Ha huh! Who would have thought that your existence was really thin!?" Lance laughed at me.

"Whisper!" My protest.

While senior Ian just smiled helplessly.

"Raka, do you remember what happened before?" Senior Ian asked opened the conversation. The atmosphere became quieter a few moments later.

"Ah .. I switched bodies, then fought against Deux---" I said, recalling.

"No, we know that part. But after you approached the merchant caravan, you suddenly fainted. The merchant said if you get seriously injured and then pass out, that's all" senior Ian said.

"ah! Thatvs right. Back then, I intended to return the Phoenix egg, but ..who would have thought that the Phoenix had instead eaten the blessing of immortality stone that I took with great difficulty" I said as I sighed in annoyance.

"So? where's the Blessing Of Immortality stone?" Senior Ian asked and then woke me up.

"Eh?"

"yes too! He should have -" I said immediately prevented.

"Ughhh!" I complained when the pain came back to my head-pain.

"Raka!"

"Hey, come on .. don't remember it, however it shows that you haven't healed perfectly" senior Ian was greeted by a nod from several others in my room.

"Sigh." While I can only sigh I'm heavy.

"Ah yes senior. How long have I been sleeping?" Ask her.

The two looked at each other for a moment before finally answering, "two weeks, you really slept for two weeks, you know?" Judith senior.

"Huh? Seriously!?" I'm shocked.

They nodded simultaneously.

"That's right. And you're like someone who's gonna erupt for two weeks. Your body temperature is, it doesn't make sense!" Lance said later.

"That's so ... what is the effect of Phoenix?" Gumamku.

"Wait, Raka. You were talking about Phoenix. But, where is it?" Senior Ian asked confusedly.

I just smiled in response to his words.

"Huh?"

"Don't tell me it's on your body!?" Lance.

I could only smile bitterly, wanting to deny it but that was not the wrong thing. "Ha ha" I said laughing silly.

"Wait on! So it's really in your body!?" Said the three people simultaneously in panic.

There's nothing I can say right now, just smile at what I'm doing.

"really. To know that your body doesn't just explode is urgh" Judith said.

"You monster! Yeah, you're a monster!" Lance commented.

"Well, talking about it .. was a little surprising anyway" said senior Ian to ease the atmosphere.

Sighs. We also breathe heavily. Even though I could say I was lucky to have survived this time, I don't know if my mission was calculated to be successful or not.

After a while, a notice that appeared surprised us.

A letter came from the academy arriving.

31/08

The Successor of Apostle Death God completed his first and second missions;

- Getting Blessing Of Immortality.

- Connecting the connection

Starting today, the next mission will begin until the deadline.

It is expected that the student will meet the masters for appreciation.

Next mission:

Arcnight Liberation.

...□□□...

For a moment, confusion ensued.

I scrunched my forehead, confused, "Second mission? When?" Askaqua.

"I think I understand something here" Senior Ian said.

"What's that?" Askaqua.

"Haiz .. Did you forget something? your followers, I think they're the ones who finished it. Plus, you saved some big merchants a few days ago" he said.

"ah! Is that old man carrying a phoenix egg?" I said aware of that.

Senior Ian then nodded confirming my words.

"Alright, I don't think you can come back today. Then, it would be much better if we returned a few days after you recovered" senior Ian said.

"Why? I'm healed" I said later.

"Don't joke! Your wound was still wet when you woke up!" Lance's protest disagrees.

"Eh? But now it's really" I said as I took off the bandage that wrapped my hand.

The bandage is open, featuring clean skin without any scarring in it.

For the time being today, Clover Castle has become more crowded and in an uproar than usual.
