[You really shouldn’t stress yourself too much about little things like this. All you should keep in mind is getting stronger.]
The other voice said, to which Harry simply nodded his head in understanding.
Just then, a low creaking sound reverberated in the air, as a black haired man walked into the room.
Harry’s head swiftly turned towards the door, and his eyes t with that of a man with thick black hair and black eyes.
Draped over his shoulders was a thick black coat, it was the sa coat that he t on him the last ti, which had the bold symbol of the AMO drawn at the side.
"Ohh, you’re awake." Terry mumbled, with a slight smile on his face as he stared at Harry.
Harry simply nodded his head, still unsure about what to say.
"Thank you... for saving ." He finally said, after having a little debate inside of him about what to say to the adventurer.
It wasn’t that he was shy or anything of the sort, it was just that he could already guess what was going through the adventurer’s mind.
To him and everyone else, he was just a late stage one Elentalist, yet he went up against an early stage four Elentalist, only to lose pathetically.
It was nothing short of embarrassing to Harry, especially when he rembered that he wasn’t even able to land a solid hit on the beast.
The man probably viewed him as so sort of dumb, crazy, arrogant kid, who overestimated his abilities.
"Nah, there’s no need for that. I’m even at fault here, i should have gotten there earlier." Terry said. "I would have gotten there sooner... if not for what happened."
The adventurer’s expression suddenly changed into a serious one, and he let out a low sigh, before continuing: "You probably don’t know this... but yesterday, it was not just one rift that appeared."
"Huh?!" Harry eyes couldn’t help but widen in shock when he heard Terry’s words.
He knew how terrifying that one mana beast attack was, and now it turns out there were actually more rift openings... aning more mana beast outbreaks.
"I get why you’re surprised, about five rifts opened up in the city of Vernil yesterday." Terry paused for a second, before continuing: "And the all appeared at the sa place ti, with no prior warning or signal. Luckily for us, none of them remained for long."
’Five?!’ Harry thought in shock, still surprised at what happened. Now that he thought about it, the mana in the air had been completely stable before the rift appeared, and then all of a sudden, it beca very wild and erratic, and the next thing he knew, a large rift spawned in front of the restaurant.
While he was still pondering, sothing the adventurer said suddenly caught his attention.
"Yesterday...?" Harry muttered, as his brows creased slightly. ’To think I was unconscious for a whole day.’ He mumbled inwardly.
Though he only said it in a low voice, Terry was still able to catch his words, and he nodded his head slightly in reply.
"You lost a lot of blood from that injury, in fact you’re lucky to be alive." He said, with a slight smile on his face.
"But I wonder... what made you fight the beast, why didn’t you just run?" Terry asked, and his eyes flashed with a strange glint.
A weird expression appeared on Harry’s face, and he scratched the back of his head in embarrassnt.
’Ahh... i kinda expected this question.’ He mumbled inwardly, with his lips curled into a wry smile. Though he already expected Terry to ask sothing like this, a part of his mind hoped the adventurer didn’t.
’How do I answer this without sounding like so sort of suicidal teenager...?’ Harry thought.
Since he was a stage one Elentalist to others, others would surely see him trying to fight a stage three beast as nothing short of stupid.
"I only wanted to hold it back... to stop it from attacking anyone else." Harry said, after a few seconds of silence.
"Hold it back huh?" Terry muttered, and the edges of his lips curled into a slight smirk.
’While it was reckless of him to attack the beast, I have to admit that things might have been a lot more worse if he didn’t.’ He thought.
If not that the beast was focused on Harry, it would have attacked the other people in the vicinity, and that alone would have resulted in a lot of casualties.
So while it might have been reckless, it still saved a lot of lives, sothing which he respected a lot about Harry’s action.
"You’re quite lucky... most people wouldn’t survive what you just did." He said.
"I’m quite intrigued... how is it that you possess the rare warrior’s physique?" Terry asked suddenly, one of his brows raised in surprise. "I’ve never seen or heard anything like this..."
"Huh? Warriors physique?" Harry asked in confusion.
"Yeah, the thing is, this hospital wasn’t actually the one that treated your injuries... they only stabilised your condition after you lost a massive amount of blood." The black haired Adventurer said, his brows furrowing a little.
’Don’t tell ...’ Harry thought, his eyes widening slightly in realization. With every word spoken by Terry, he was starting to understand where the adventurer was getting to, and none of it made his mind feel at ease.
"Your wounds, the deep cut you got from the mana beast, they all healed on their own." Terry said, finally dropping that bomb that made Harry’s heart skip a beat.
Harry’s eyes widened in shock, and for a mont, he felt his breath leave his lungs.
’Shit, I should have expected this. How could I be so careless?!’ He thought, while biting his lips slightly.
This was the one of the things he had been trying to avoid... for others to discover his regeneration ability.
