The Secret Of Werewolf
Chapter 29: Who It Means

Feronica gasped in silence as the green curtain of her room opened, immediately she directed her gaze towards the sound and saw the middle-aged man in the hat standing there.

The middle-aged man looked at Feronica understandingly, and then walked over to his bed.

"Mr Jack?" Feronica was a bit confused to see Mr. Jack was here. He should have been doing his job. This is a busy and important day at school.

"Why is the Lord here?" feronica asked slowly, her voice sounding hoarse and somewhat heavy.

"Waiting you, when I clean here?' Mr. Jack smiled slightly.

It's true that Mr. Jack's business is clean-up. But for that matter in the health center building he's not on duty here.

"Why bother coming here?" Feronica feels bad to be visited by Mr. Jack now, she herself knows Mr. Jack should still be busy at this time.

The man in the hat shook his head. "You forced yourself?"

Feronica was silent at the question, her heart was sad to remember the very important day ended like this.

"I think I'm overconfident, don't you Jack?" Feronica looked at the middle-aged man in the hat closely, as if realizing something.

"Good fight just now." Jack's comments are short while smiling sincerely which looks like someone is so honest when saying this.

"Aahaha...." Feronica let out a small laugh, though what Mr. Jack said did not sound quite what he thought. But he still feels entertained.

"Thank you Sir. Sorry this morning I surprised you."

"It's okay, you don't have to apologize for something you do often...." Mr. Jack responded to Feronica very casually.

The two looked at each other and laughed.

For a while later Jack accompanied Feronica to chat for a while, making Feronica forget the pain she was feeling. And without feeling the time goes fast.

While the Magic Ability Test kept going as it should, many of the disciples who were already paired up then showed each other what they could.

Feronica had to rest up to an unspecified time limit, the Nurse in charge of taking care of her told her like that.

But when it was late afternoon Feronica felt better and although her nurse suggested to stay overnight, Feronica insisted to go home.

Given that tomorrow is a school holiday, of course, he feels more comfortable resting at home than having to continue in the treatment room.

"Alright take care of yourself and no longer use magic for a while," said the nurse in the afternoon that allowed Feronica to return home.

All the bandages and medical equipment had been removed from him. The wounds experienced were not so clear because they had been handled and cleaned by the nurse before. Now he looks as usual and does not need to make his mother worry when he comes home later.

Arriving at Feronica's house greeted by her mother, the look on her face seemed curious about what had happened one day before.

***

- At night, at the residence of Feronica-

After dinner Elisabeth finally poured out the curiosity that was in her from yesterday. Just when Feronica was discovered by a young man named Stephen.

"What's going on? I saw you helpless this morning, and you just disappeared...."

"Ahaha not so mom, I was exhausted but the morning was better. You know it's an important day for me now?"

Elisabeth fell silent, indeed she knew today was an important activity for the final level disciples. Given the parents of the students were informed by the school before, the, but he did not expect in the midst of Feronica's condition that was so worrying last night in the end his daughter could follow the schedule of school events and go home in the afternoon of the same day.

"But you haven't explained what happened in the middle of the night yesterday" Elisabeth said, looking at him in seriousness.

"All I know is that you go to school without my knowledge."

Parents of students are not allowed to enter the school environment except under special circumstances. So that's why Elisabeth, her mother did not see Feronica's direct situation in school because it was so strict rules.

Elisabeth could tell how Feronica was doing through the magic energy she felt near the school gates, just as Feronica began her maiden fight.

That way Elisabeth could tell because the magic energy of Feronica was felt stable and as usual, although it was unbelievable and eager to meet to see the slow state of her daughter. In the end he resisted the urge to meet it and chose to return home and wait for his return. Just before Feronica was pushed and defeated by Fredrica.

Feronica realized her mother's gaze was different from the previous one, and she could accept that after all it was true that she had not explained anything. This is a good time to explain everything.

"I'm sorry mom, I don't have the heart to interrupt mom's break, so it looks like it'd be better to just go."

"On why I was able to be in a place with such terrible rumors I was just curious and visited him to prove the rumors that we've all heard ma'am...."

"Just ... visit?" Elisabeth looked up at her daughter's statement like that. It feels strange to hear it.

How could his only daughter visit a place rumored to be dangerous just because of curious capital alone?

Especially after everything he knew and the terrible place he had been banned, his daughter did not care and was only curious about this?

"Are you kidding Feronica?" Elisabeth held onto her daughter's shoulders, her hands trembling with a look of disbelief.

The emotions in his heart were turbulent even until he no longer knew what it was like. The feeling of tightness, anger, sadness, haru, relief was felt all by this middle-aged woman.

He did not know the worst that could happen to his daughter, angry that Feronica ignored all the prohibitions, haru was sad and relieved to know his daughter could return as usual after returning from the forbidden place.

With all the emotions she felt, Elisabeth just lowered her head slowly down while holding her daughter's shoulder held everything her heart felt.

Feronica saw how her mother's countenance changed so quickly when she explained what had happened. In his heart he was eager to explain what 'actually' had happened, but he tried not to say anything more than what he had said.

Feronica knows she deserves more than this. He deserves to be scolded or even punished by his mother for this act. And Feronica had prepared herself for this from the beginning, even when she agreed to meet the demands of Rossa and Fredirica.

Seeing his emotional mother left him speechless, it was as if her mother's feelings were also channeled to her and in the end she realized how worried her mother was about her as she tried to find out the true truth

"I'm sorry mom...." Feronica held her mother gently, it was painful to see her mother who had to feel something like this. This is indeed his fault but even so he is grateful to be able to go home well from the rumored cemetery area.

After a while Elisabeth, her mother calmed down and her eyes glazed over and she still wanted to know more about it.

"What's wrong mom? Is there something?" Feronica knew the look on her mother's face meant she still had a lot of questions.

"Mom's glad you're okay, but never go to that forbidden place again. It's possible that no one else can help you anymore and it could endanger your life more than this" Elisabeth said in a trembling but clear voice.

"Ah, of course, the mother helped me, didn't she?"

Feronica who lost consciousness knew that her mother who took care of her since midnight was the one who went to help her in the place with the terrible rumors.

"Feronica, don't you remember?" Instead of agreeing with Feronica's statement, Elisabeth now even just knew her daughter did not remember anything when she was unconscious in the forbidden place.

"Hm?"

Feronica thought the other person she meant was her own mother. Isn't that what happened? Why does her mother look so serious now? What does he not know?

"There was a young man who helped you yesterday. He's the one who brought you home." Elisabeth finally explained this, trying to figure out her curiosity about the young man who saved Feronica.

"Young man? Hnmmm...is she the same age as me mom?"

"Well he's young, maybe only a year or two different from you. Wait... You know her, not Feronica?" Elisabeth was trying to lure out the real information. It would make more sense to him if he did not know the young man, but at least his daughter could recognize him.

Feronica was pensive, she thought about what her mother had said, about the young man who had saved her while in that place. He did know some men of his age at school, but he did not meet any of them at that place.

So who exactly does her mother mean? Someone he knew? Is it possible for a young man who might just be one school with her? Or could it be the villagers who accidentally passed by at the place yesterday?

Feronica started trying to figure out who really helped her yesterday. He is not known to many people, after all he is not a famous person either.

But at least he knows some people and their appearance. So it's also possible that someone he knew helped him get home when he lost consciousness yesterday.

After a moment of thought, no one could think of who exactly this young man was meant by his mother.

Given that it is so strong and the impact of the rumors that exist regarding the cemetery area, it seems that no one left at the same time as him yesterday.

Except one guy. A young man too, yet he did not qualify from his mother as a person he knew.

And-wait .. does his mother require that he know the identity of the young man who saved him? Didn't his mother just ask?

"I-mom, how did the young man who saved me look?"
