There were so many things that Luke's head seemed to be boiling with so many possibilities, but the half-wolf's eyes were visibly tired. It was already very late.
Meredith ended up yawning. And then put her hand to her face, blushing with embarrassment.
"I'm sorry, it's just that it's late and I haven't had a very peaceful day today." Said the half-fox, explaining herself.
"No problem, we can continue with the plans tomorrow. I'm going back to my room, tomorrow Alice and I will start the amulet project. Try to get some rest, today was really a tiring day." Megan said, as she stood up.
"Really, good rest Luke. Tomorrow we can get together again and plan how we are going to move forward. Good night guys" Meredith said.
When Megan and Meredith arrived at the bedroom door, they turned off the lights and walked out walking down the hallway talking in a low tone of voice. The half-wolf could hear the two girls' voices fading away as they walked down the hall.
Luke then closed his eyes, and before he decided to go to sleep, he chose to ask for some advice.
'What do you think of this plan, Balance?'
[Challenging such a skilled mage to a confrontation is a bit unreasonable. But I believe that in two weeks you can prepare yourself].
'I don't have to beat him, it's just going to be necessary to delay as long as possible. You heard what Megan said.
[Still, I know you're going to do your best in this fight. It's your way, but trying too hard now could end up getting you hurt even more].
'If we complete the amulet in time, I'll have no problem beating this Max guy. Besides, the first moment the demons find out that I'm here, I'll need to go back to Broteforge to finish this fight.'
[You can use the duel exhibition to get more allies. I had an idea, but I don't know if we'll be able to accomplish that].
'An idea?'
[What do you think about asking Megan to show her memories in a broadcast. Then all the students of the academy would find out about the crimes of Melki's empire, it would be the best way to get support to end the war].
'Do you really believe that I would be able to win over so many people? Maybe they would get a little frustrated with the war, but commanding all of them...'
[You are a born leader, Luke. I'm sure that this way of yours will easily win over many followers. But still, if we consider that you will already be able to create the amulet in two weeks, that means that in less than a month you will be back fighting the demons].
'I can't wait too long, Alexis and Ayumi need me.'
[Well, I agree with you. So get some rest kid, sleep soon and recover to beat those demons].
When Luke woke up, without much thought, he got out of bed. He looked in the mirror and felt like he was just going through another day.
*Yawn*
'I really don't want to go through that again.'
[Really, it doesn't sound very pleasant].
'Well, a new day is a new beginning.'
The strong sunlight coming in through the window bothered Luke's eyes, and he put his hand to his face as he turned to see the blue sky. It was a clear day with few clouds, although the wind could be heard rattling the glass window.
Luke walked towards the window and watched the scenery a bit, he kept the window open a bit to let the cool day air into the room.
The half-wolf then began to perform his exercises in a slightly open part of the room. He was completely unconcerned about what had happened the day before, he didn't really seem to care.
While doing some push-ups, Balance tried to get his attention.
[LUKE! You still haven't fully recovered!]
'How can you not? I don't feel anything different in my body.
[Still, you're in a hospital for a good reason, aren't you? Or are you going to tell me that you don't now remember what happened yesterday].
'Yesterday was yesterday, today I am feeling completely healthy. I can't wait any longer, I need to keep training to win my duel.
[Tsc... All right then].
Luke started laughing when he realized that the goddess clicked her tongue at him.
'Learned from me, eh?'
[Hahaha, well, it was obvious I was going to pick up some habit from you].
A few minutes later, one of the doctors was startled when he saw Luke performing sit-ups as if nothing had happened the day before.
"Sir! You need to rest boy!" Said the same doctor who took care of the half-wolf the day before.
Luke just stood up with a quick jump, he then scratched the back of his ear as he tried to explain to the doctor that he was already fine.
"I swear I'm better now sir. I just need a long hot bath."
"Look, I'm going to give you a check-up. If everything is okay, you'll be able to leave at noon, all right?"
"Sure." Luke said.
These check-ups were no different than the ones that happened yesterday, the doctor just wanted to try to understand what might have happened to Luke. The half-wolf's body was still intact, just like the day before, but now, the symptoms that had appeared had actually disappeared.
When Luke finished being examined, he quickly went back to training in his room. Doing squats, sit-ups and push-ups.
As it was approaching noon, an unusual visitor appeared.
"Zhanid commented on what happened to you. So I came to visit you Luke." Said Orion, as he opened the door.
"Whats up!" said Luke, as he continued to do push-ups.
Orion made a surprised face, taking a step back.
"Weren't you hospitalized? Zhanid told me what happened and it sounded pretty serious." Orion said
"Its fine, for real. I just needed to take a nap" Luken said as he stretched his shoulder. "Are you busy today? I wanted to take care of a few things.
