"Are you sure you should be standing right now?"

I nodded at Renèe's fussing. Nasa isang kwarto kami sa inn ngayon at balak ko sanang maglakad-lakad sa buong kwarto. I wanted to start using my left leg that Marcella burnt.

Hindi naman malaki ang sugat. When Marcella used her large-scale flame attack, some of the heat managed to creep inside my shadow cocoon. Dahil na rin sa mainit ito at hindi na kaya ng Mana ko ang pagmanage ng cocoon, my left leg was damaged.

"I need to." tanging sagot ko lang at inignora ang sakit.

Renèe followed me as I circled the room, brows furrowed in concern and arms ready to catch me if I ever fall. I'm really thankful for her presence, pero paano naman ang matches niya?

"Ree. 'm alright." I reassured her.

Renèe huffed, crossing her arms. "Sinasabi mo 'yan pero isang araw ka ring tulog at dalawang araw ka na dito!"

Tumango ako sa sinabi niya. Kaya nga kailangan ko nang ibalik sa dating lagay ang katawan ko. I can't afford to spend more time here.

Ree sighed as she watched me stubbornly walk. Hindi naman siya masyadong mahirap, konting kirot lang ang nararamdaman ko sa kaliwang hita. Since this is a game, our physiology has heightened. Like how our strength, speed, and agility have increased, the defensive mechanism of our bodies also went up. Kasabay no'n ay ang pagreduce ng healing time namin.

The door opened and Caspian entered the room with a plastic bag in hand. Napahinto siya nang makita akong nakatayo at nakatukod ang kamay sa bintana.

I braced myself, waiting to be reprimanded, but Caspian only sighed and placed the items he bought in the bedside table.

"Is it alright now?" tukoy niya sa paa ko.

I placed some force on my left leg. "A bit."

"Come here," Caspian patted the bed in front of him. "Let's apply some ointment."

Mahina akong tumango at sumunod sa sinabi niya. Renèe fussed over me from behind, like a mother duck to her children. Hinayaan ko na lang siya dahil bayad ko 'yon sa pagpapa-alala sa kaniya.

Inilahad ko ang kamay para malagyan niya ng ointment ang ibang burn marks na gawa ng ibang atake ni Marcella. Caspian has been taking care of me since I fainted, and he was actually the first person I saw when I woke up. Nalaman ko kung anong nangyari mula sa kaniya.

Nagbabantay daw si Gavin para sa next match niya kaya siya ang pinakamalapit at agad nakapunta sa'kin. Along with a worried Sebastian and a teary-eyed Renèe, they brought me into an infirmary. May NPC nurse doon na nag-attend ng mga sugat ko. She also possessed healing magic that speed up my recovery process.
