Howard awoke back in Jarlon Valley a week later inside a small green dical tent.
His mind felt like he'd been torn into three pieces, yet at the sa ti, the pain wasn't as bad as he thought it would be. After using Fire King's Last Stand, he was certain that he wouldn't be able to use his body normally again for at least two weeks. Yet when he woke up, he focused on his Ki Hearts, and noticed he seed to be in sowhat decent shape.
At first, he had thought a ton of days must have passed, buy Jenny was right there next to him holding his hand when he returned from his slumber.
She had tears in her eyes, and looked extrely angry. Howard didn't understand. Did he do sothing wrong?
"You-you idiot! If-If you didn't wake up in one more day, I-I was never going to forgive myself!" Jenny clutched Howards' hand tightly and pointed out the window. "Yet, I-I'm so happy! You-you deserve all the belated birthday presents you deserve," Jenny bit her lip. "Now, before the other three girls get here, do you mind if I get my turn first?"
"Not yet," Howard said seriously, "Before I get any 'present', can you tell if Reslan and Annibell are fine?"
"Reslan He's in the tent next door," Jenny wiped a tear from her eye. She seed beyond happy that Howard was awake that she couldn't stop from tearing. "However, I-I did so experints on you when you were asleep. I have so good news and bad news. The good news is you can use Fire King's Last Stand almost infinitely if you et one requirent. However, that's the bad news." Jenny bit her lip.
"Because you have 60 Ki Hearts, your body can sustain the arrays from Fire King's Last Stand just fine, however, if you use Fire King's Last Stand more than once a year, past the 2nd level, your organs will explode and you'll literally be dood to die a slow miserable death over the course of 10 years. I-I'm sorry, but you think You think for the next year you can just fight normally? If I have to see you in this state again I might not be able to take it."
"Jenny, I plan on never using that ability again, haha! However, did you give so type of new dicine? I feel even stronger than before I used Fire King's Last Stand. I thought I'd be tired, but I'm not. I thought I'd have trouble even moving, but if I have a birthday present, I'm more than ready to receive it."
"Mmmm, well, I think you're really going to like your present," Jenny smiled and leaned in before kissing Howard gently on the lips. "Mmm, you're going to like it a lot. You selfish boy! You're lucky there are so few n down here, and I have no choice but to share you. If I didn't, mmm, tonight, I'd have you all to myself."
"I-I still don't understand. Mmmm," Howard kissed Jenny back and looked into her scorching brown eyes. He could see the passion in her dilated pupils. He felt like she wanted to swallow him whole, and he almost didn't mind it. "Why? Why is Reslan in a dical tent? Shouldn't he be fully recovered."
"He-he got an infusion from Harkel, so he needs 2 more days until he's awake," Jenny said, pulling Howard by the hand to the outside of the tent. "However, the good news is that Harkel only lost a little bit of his strength! He said he can't spar you anymore because you'll destroy him, however, he also said it was worth it to save Reslan! After all, what's 100 years of recovery ti to a Ghost Authoritarian."
"100 years. How strong is he now?" Howard replied,
'He's roughly even with Oclen in strength, but he says you're stronger than him now. Unfortunately, that ans you can only train by yourself Howard. You have 25 days until you can save your grandfather. By the way, I didn't tell anyone else about your grandfather. I didn't want them to worry." Jenny pulled Howard outside, Monica, Harley, and Priscilla were currently surrounding Harkel on all sides. "Yet this is a pretty good situation to be in, don't you think Howard? None of the teachers died! You even get to have the best belated birthday ever tonight? Now co on. Stop staring at , and eat up already!"
"Mmmm, you don't have to ask twice!" Howard smiled and picked Jenny up into the air before he dug his lips into hers. Her beautiful brown hair spiraled into his while their passion ignited in plain site.
Monica, Harley, and Priscilla looked towards Howard and imdiately burst away from Harkel in a sprint. He could only look at the young girls running towards Howard and smile.
'Ugh, Howard, things have gotten so complicated in the last 6 days,' Harkel looked over at Oclen sitting in a circle while he tried to harness the first aspect of how to create a domain.
Each domain had multiple parts, and understanding even one part of an array could lead to huge improvents in manipulation of external Ki. It was one of the reasons why the SS rank took so long to overco and for people to ascend to the SSS rank. And also the part of the SS rank most people would try to comprehend last.
However, Oclen, for so reason, ever since he got back a week ago, had started learning about domains, arrays, and frankly stuff only seasoned warriors would be curious about. Yet, unlike he thought, Oclen didn't try to free the Great Last King. He could only assu that his brothers really did spare him. It sucked, but Oclen was too great of a potential for Howard for his suspicions to be made known to all the others around him.
He sighed, and looked at Annibell bringing over so food towards Reslan's tent. This was the busiest Jarlon Valley, at least in his area, had been in a long ti.
"Howard, we have so much to talk about, but you have four girlfriends. Once you satisfy their demands for your birthday, it's ti to put the weight of the world on your shoulders." Harkel looked over at Oclen one more ti and shook his head. "God, I really hope that Oclen is just acting strange because of a near death experience, and not sothing worse. If soone infected his Ki Hearts, and took over his body, I can only imagine how strong the person who did it is. They'd have to be in at least the SS rank, if not higher. And now The strongest person in the area is Howard. God, I really hope that my decision to save Reslan was right. Otherwise, we're all dood."
