The Evolution Of A Goblin To The Peak

Chapter 147 - Healing

”Hmm...?” Souta slowly opened his eyes and found that he was in his room.

He pushed himself into a seated position and saw Yuko sleeping on the floor beside his bed.

”How did-” Souta was about to say how did she manage to get inside his room when he saw the door was gone and the walls on each side were also gone.

”Damn! She forced herself to get inside my room.”

He was stunned at this sight but he immediately calmed himself down.

”Really... Yuko, you worry yourself too much.” Souta muttered as he gently smiled at her.

He then looked at his body and saw that he was covered in bandages. Souta stretched out his hands and felt his muscles aching.

”This is enough...” Souta said and knew that he could still move his body properly. He grabbed the bandages on his left arm and tore it apart.

Souta saw that his wounds werenʼt completely healed. He knew the reason why. To completely heal his wounds he needed a tier 3 healing spell.

He received his injuries from a tier 3 spell, so the energy from this spell was preventing the lower-tier spell from healing the injuries that he received.

Also, the injuries that he received didnʼt only come from Gregoryʼs tier 3 spell. The best feram and the [Vajra Sword Saya]ʼs energy contributed in damaging his internal organs and mana pool.

Itʼs already lucky that he could properly move his body.

He looked at his system and found that he only had a total of seven hundred ten points of total mana. Before using the monster orb, he had a total of nine hundred ten mana in his mana pool. It seems that his mana pool took damage from channeling best feram.

”What a waste... But Iʼve gained a lot of skill points from that quest and it is enough for me.” Souta said as he forced himself to stand up.

”Hmm?”

He paused and he looked up as he heard footsteps coming from the hallway.

After a few moments, a little girl with long green hair appeared in his vision. The girl revealed a surprised expression when she saw him. It then changed into a smile and without hesitation, she ran towards him.

”Brother Souta! Youʼre awake!” The girl said with a happy expression on her face. She ran around to avoid Yukoʼs huge body before she arrived in front of Souta.

”Cl.u.s.ter, where are they?” Souta smiled at her and asked her. By ʼtheyʼ, he meant Bryan and Lumilia. Those two were the only one whoʼs taking care of Cl.u.s.ter. One of the two was here with Cl.u.s.ter.

”Ahmmm!” Cl.u.s.ter opened her arms and she hugged Soutaʼs body tightly causing him to groaned in pain. She buried her face in his chest.

”Ouch!” Souta exclaimed as he raised both of his hands above his head. He just tore the bandage on his left arm so he avoided direct contact with Cl.u.s.ter. He was worried that she would hug his bare wounded arm.

Yuko woke up from the commotion. She stood up and hugged Souta.

”Ah! Yuko!” Souta screamed as the three of them fell down on the bed.

Crack!

The bed made a loud cracking sound as it couldnʼt handle their weight at the same time.

”Argh! It hurts!” Souta felt his wounds opening up.

Cl.u.s.ter skillfully slipped out of them. She stood on the side as she jumped with a smile on her face.

”Yay! Yuko and Brother Souta are playing! I wanted to play too!” Cl.u.s.ter said while hopping.

”Yuko! Stop! Someone help me!” Souta shouted for help as he couldnʼt get Yuko off him with his current strength.

...

Souta took spent a lot of his stamina before he managed to escape from Yukoʼs killer hug.

”Huff... Huff...” Souta was on his knees. He was breathing heavily as his sweat kept dripping on the ground.

”Damn! Yuko, I know youʼre happy that you saw me woke up but I hope you control yourself more... Youʼre killing me.” Souta said with a haggard look while glancing at Yuko.

”Mu.” Yuko looked at him with teary eyes. It seems that she wanted to play with Souta.

”Later, letʼs play later after Iʼve recovered,” Souta said.

”Cl.u.s.ter?” He then turned his attention to Cl.u.s.ter.

”What is it, Brother Souta?” Cl.u.s.ter looked at him as she tilted her head to the side.

”Where are Bryan and class rep?” Souta asked her. Neither Lumilia and Bryan were here in his house.

”Brother Bryan and Sister Mila? Hmm...” Cl.u.s.ter made a pondering expression as she placed her index finger in her lips. She then flashed a bright smile and said, ”They leave me here to take care of you.”

”What?!” Souta was surprised when he heard her answer. ”Those two left you here in a place where thereʼs an injured person... Damn! It seems that I need to teach them some lessons.” He muttered as he rubbed his chin. He then recalled that Cl.u.s.ter was used to being alone because Lumilia always left her alone in the apartment.

”Okay, I understand they are in the institute.” Souta nodded and he recalled something. ”Oh? The cultural festival is near so the class rep have a lot of things that she needed to do. I completely forgot about it because of what happened in the Gripin city.”

”Brother Souta?” Cl.u.s.ter called him.

”Hmm?” Souta looked at her and wondered what sheʼs going to say.

”Sister Mila said that I could go to the institute on the day of the cultural festival.” Cl.u.s.ter said with a hopeful expression.

”Oh, right? The institute will let an outsider come inside.” Souta exclaimed.

Just like the other schools, the institute didnʼt let an outsider inside the gate. They would only let people that will enroll in the institute.

”Really? Can I really go?” Cl.u.s.ter looked at him with a star in her eyes.

”Yeah, yeah, you can go at that time.” Souta nodded his head.

Souta, Bryan, and Lumilia were like Cl.u.s.terʼs guardian so Cl.u.s.ter felt that she have to ask the three of them if she wanted to go to the cultural festival.

”Stay here and behave nicely,” Souta said as he looked at Cl.u.s.ter and Yuko. After seeing Cl.u.s.ter nodded her head, he went downstairs.

...

Souta went inside to the room where he stocked all the potions that he collected ever since he came in this world.

He picked a mid-grade healing potion and removed its cap. Without hesitation, Souta drunk it.

Souta felt a warm energy coursing through his body.

”Hu~”

He exhaled and he felt that his body was getting lighter. But his injuries still didnʼt show any evidence of closing.

”A mid-grade potion isnʼt enough but I could feel the changes in my body. Its effect is better than any tier 1 healing spell.” Souta commented as he looked at the other mid-grade healing potion in this room.

He took a bunch of mid-grade healing potions before he left the room. Souta went to the bathroom and poured the mid-grade healing potions on the bathtub.

After pouring the mid-grade healing potions on the tub, Souta removed his clothes and the bandages on his body. He then soaked himself on the tub full of mid-grade healing potion.

”Ah~ it feels good soaking in healing potions,” Souta muttered with a look of satisfaction on his face.

”The only problem is that itʼs too expensive.”

Souta looked at his side and he picked up one mid-grade healing potion. He removed the cup and drunk it.

Right now, he was soaking himself in a bathtub full of healing potions while drinking healing potion himself.

”Potions are really too bland. They should make it sweeter.” Souta commented. He felt that his injuries were slowly closing.

Souta has nothing to do so he looked at his system and saw some notification.

”Ah, this...?”

[Congratulations on completing the Bodyguard quest!]

[Youʼve received 10,000 exp, 5 free attribute points, and 3 skill points!]

”So the Gale Group already passed the completion in the Adventurers Guild...” Souta nodded in understanding. It seems that Lumilia used her savings to reward the Gale Group.

”But where is my reward? Iʼve contributed a lot in that quest so I should have received some coins from her” Souta muttered as he rubbed his chin.

ʼUfufu, I thought that you help her out of your own without thinking about money.ʼ A voice sounded in Soutaʼs head.

”How?” Souta asked as he looked around and didnʼt saw the [Vajra Sword Saya] in the bathroom. If he wasnʼt wrong, the sword was still in his room.

ʼYou know that after I ate your life force, we are connected to each other. I can feel you and you can feel me.ʼ Sayaʼs playful voice rung in his head.

”The heck is that!!”

...

He soaked himself for about two hours before he got up and dried himself with a towel. Some of his wounds closed but some were not.

...

Souta found that Lumilia and Bryan were already here in his house. Two other people came along with Bryan and Lumilia.

They were Lynn and Nayo.
