The figure in the glass window did nothing but give him pitiful gazes for so mont. Neither did it speak nor did it change it's facial expression.
The already silent room started getting even more silent. As if he was losing his sense of hearing, he couldn't even hear his own voice at this mont.
An eerie silence engulfed the entire room as his eyes beca glued at the reflection on the glass window. And the more he stared at the reflection, the more he felt like he was getting sucked inside the brown pupils of the figure in the window.
It wasn't because he wanted to stare at the reflection. Infact he desperately wanted to look elsewhere, however as if he was hypnotised, he couldn't take his eyes off the reflection in the glass window.
His heart started pounding faster and faster, to the point it felt like it could jump out of his throat at any mont.
He was on the verge of collapsing.
But just as he was about to lose his consciousness, he noticed so changes in the reflection; the reflection in the glass window started moving it's lips.
As if the figure was trying to speak sothing, it moved it's lips. However he couldn't hear anything.
Setting aside his fear, he tried his best to concentrate on the lips of the figure to hear what the figure was speaking.
Instinctively he felt like it was his only chance to get out of this predicant. If only he could decipher what that figure was speaking.
Thus, since he couldn't hear anything, he tried lip-reading.
'You.... Have.... Failed.... The.... Quest!'
Although slow but just as he comprehended the words which the figure in the glass window was trying to speak, his sense of hearing returned.
But at this mont, cacophony of noises which repeated the sa thing at the sa ti in a robotic manner filled his ears.
"You have failed the quest"
"You have failed the quest"
"You jave failed the quest"
Hearing the sa thing ti and again, he started freaking out. His already disturbed mind started going frenzy and he started feeling a throbbing pain in his ear and head.
At this mont, he desperately wanted to cover his ear but his body didn't respond as per his wishes. His face started contorting and he desperately tried closing his eyes.
His face wrinkled as he struggled to close his eyelids. Finally as he could no longer hold himself, he blacked out.
But at the next mont, he abruptly opened his eyes. Panting heavily, he exhaled hurried breathes, "Huff!! Huff!! Huff!!"
For so mont he continued to pant heavily while staring at the white ceiling above. Finally after few breathes, as his breathing stabilised, he lowered his gaze from the ceiling.
Lowering his gaze, he found his mother sleeping beside him while his father was nowhere to be found in the room.
Although he couldn't recall his previous awakening, he felt like he had been in this kind of situation previously as well, déjà vu.
But this ti, he didn't panic like before. Looking at the scene, he softly exclaid as he clad his breathes, "So.... I was dreaming!"
He concluded.
"But why am I in hospital bed?" Murmured Hiro as he felt confused by his situation.
His voice muffled, almost as if he was whispering.
His thoughts were still ssed up by that nightmare, making him unable to recall anything.
Finally after so mont passed as he organized his thoughts, he rembered the reason behind him being in the hospital.
'Right I fainted in the final match. But how long has it been since I lost my consciousness?' while thinking such, Hiro subconsciously turned his gaze towards the window.
However the window was covered by the curtains, making him unable to discern whether it was day or night.
He tried looking at the walls in hopes of finding a wall clock. But the walls were simply empty with no decorations whatsoever.
After trying for a while, unable to find any clues, he gave up.
Hiro then let out a deep sigh as he tried recalling the mont when he lost his consciousness.
Although sowhat hazy, he still rembered fragnts of the mories right before he lost his consciousness.
'I never imagined that the consequences of exploiting the system would be this severe.' thinking about the consequences, he abruptly lifted his blankets as he turned his attention towards his legs.
His heart started to race as he started to panic all of a sudden. Fear was evident on his face, right now.
He was extrely worried about his legs.
Fortunately his legs looked fine, since he didn't have any cast. However his legs were still covered in bandages.
Although he was relieved to so extent after seeing his legs not covered in casts, he was still worried.
Thus, out of worry, he tried to wiggle his toes. It wiggled as per his wishes. Although a little hard, he felt a little more assured after seeing his toes wiggling completely fine.
Hiro then tried to lift his legs.
And as he willed to raise his legs, he felt a stinging sensation of pain in his legs.
However he could still lift his legs, which cald his heart completely.
Right at this mont, his mother woke up only to find her son acting weird, once again.
However since Hiro was so engrossed in testing his legs, he didn't notice his mother's awakening. He kept on trying different things like rotating his ankles, wiggling his toes, bending his legs and many more leg movents.
And the more he tested, the more his smile widened and the more his face brightened. His heart was already calm, right now. Infact he was even feeling quite ecstatic at the mont.
Only when he dropped his blankets did he notice his mother's gazes.
She was staring at him with eyes full of worry. Her brows tightly knitted and her eyes moist, she was concernedly looking at him right now.
Seeing her face filled with worries, his mouth turned dry as he spoke, "You're awake mom?"
