3 weeks later in the Urgent Healer's Hospital
"Onnnne… twoooo… huff!… huff!" a white-haired kid exercising… or more like panting after performing only a couple of push-ups, looked at the pathetic amount of stamina and endurance he has, imdiately falling on the ground and slowly turning around on his back.
"How did it co to this?" making a whining expression, he started ranting over the mistakes that had happened before.
"I was already so weak, yet I ended up using that move… tch tch… damn, I want to go back and slap that old for being so emotional," He complained as he put his hand on his face before he noticed soone's presence behind him.
A nurse with a paper in his hand was looking at that white-haired kid with a slight glare as she spoke,"Mister Zero. What exactly are you trying to do?"
Zero turned around and stood up and spoke with a sheepish smile on his face,"Exercising."
-Baam
The nurse hit her foot on the ground, and Zero imdiately took a fighting stance against the nurse. The nurse then angrily moved towards Zero and then chanted,"[Bind]" making Zero unable to make a move.
After that, she pulled Zero back to his bed without considering his emotions. She then glared at Zero before speaking," you are not allowed to do any strenuous activity unless and until you get back to pri health."
Zero wanted to say sothing, but the nurse simply left without even giving him a chance to speak.
A few monts after, Clair ca in running and applied her mana into Zero, setting him partially free from the Nurse's bind.
"I am going to kill that nurse… sigh… how co I ended up being so weak," spoke Zero with a disheartened face before looking at Clair, who was observing him with an amazed expression.
Zero observed Clair standing in front of him, and couldn't help but smile at his achievent of saving everyone. He then pondered over sothing before asking," how are you?"
Snapping out of her daze, Clair blinked before speaking," shouldn't I be the one asking you this?"
"Hmm… guess so. Still, I would like to hear from you about everything that happened," Zero asked her with a thoughtful expression. His smile slowly vanished, and a seriousness ca onto his face as he relaxed back onto the bed.
"Well… after you saved all of us, a bunch of people arrived and helped us get out of there. For it was my sister and for others it was their family mber-"
"Skip. I know that much. Tell what happened after everyone went back to their places," Zero interrupted her and she nodded before continuing,
"Sir Claus used his powers from the security departnt to keep the matter under wraps. I hear he occupies a high position in the security departnt so it wasn't much hard.
The saintess went back to her church and began using her powers once again for the people. Her return was quite heavily celebrated by the people.
About others, it was more or less the sa. Either their return was celebrated with the press and dia asking about the whole story, or it was kept undercover by their influence."
Zero gave a nod at her words before speaking,"what about William?"
Clair pondered about sothing before speaking." I don't know. He kind of vanished from there with a butler-like man and from there onwards he wasn't found."
'Well… I have an idea where he went but… it would be better if I don't ddle with his affairs yet.'
"What about you? How have you been?" Zero asked with a curious expression as he looked at Clair and she gave a thoughtful expression before speaking,
"Hmmm… after my sister picked up. I went back to my ho with her. I explained so things to her, leaving the other things which should be unsaid. Though sceptical about my story, my sister still didn't ask anything more. A week later, a call ca to from Claus and he asked to co here and take care of you. Among all the escapees, I was the only one with no strong background and I am the kind of person in whom people would be least interested that is I am inconspicuous.
So by default I was chosen to co here and take care of you while you were unconscious and also to give the others a report about you every 3 hours or so."
After Clair finished speaking, she realised sothing and she couldn't help but look at Zero again, this ti however with a curious look than before.
Sensing her gaze, Zero spoke without looking at her," what is it?"
"Ah! No… it's just that… you are much more approachable than I thought," she spoke as a smile blood on her face.
Zero felt a strange emotion welling up inside him before he sighed and slowly raised his hand, as if trying to catch sothing before it escapes.
"Am I?" He asked himself and Clair looked at Zero with a confused expression.
"Well… it's nothing. In any case, Clair, what are your plans next after this? Now that I have woken up, what are you going to do?"
Zero asked, changing the topic.
Clair didn't dwell much on the previous topic and spoke,"I should be informing people about your waking up and if I am not wrong they will co in secret to et with you from now onwards. Even though I have talked with them only on call, they seed really worried about you. I am sure they would be equally happy to hear that you have finally woken up."
"Isn't it because their life hangs on the deal I made with Mark Leeway?" Zero remarked on Clair's words and Clair couldn't help but turn quite on his words.
It was quite obvious to Zero. Especially after witnessing human kind's nature all over the years, it was crystal clear why these people were so 'worried' about him.
"Forget about it. It's not gonna help mulling over useless things. Let's get to sothing interesting," Zero spoke as he turned towards Clair with a mischievous smile and continued," Would you like to make a deal with ?"
