Chapter 3: Recovery

Around 4:45 am, Kirby, wakes up the next day and sees Cat sleeping there on the bottom of the bunk bed. He wondered about where was Cat last night. After a second thinking, he stood up and went to train. At the gym, he recalled what happened last night. "That's right...Manna tried to defend the elf maid. What should I do now?", Kirby asked himself. After a moment of thinking, he decided to visit Manna after his training to see how he's doing since he got beaten up pretty bad. He continued training for an hour and went to shower. After that, he went to check on Manna.

As Kirby walks to the infirmary on the fifth floor he sees a girl with white dotted green hair coming from opposite directions as him. As he enters the doctor's patient room, he sees Manna laying on the bed with bandages wrapped around on his arm. "Hey, Manna?", Kirby called to him. "Yeah?", Manna replied. "Did that girl came to visit you?", asked Kirby. "Yeah, Nat called me Manna for no reason...she must have thought of me as a lowlife, huh?", Manna mumbled. "Who's Nat?", Kirby asked. "The girl with white spots in her green hair.", said Manna. "Anyways, Manna is your nickname because you risked your life to save a girl that you have no idea who she is. She was even a slave and you saved her. That's pretty heroic don't you think? And it's supposed to resemble the hero Eight.", explained Kirby. "I just did what I thought that I did what anyone would have done if they saw that", said Manna. "Well, now you're recognized as a hero. Manna the Hero to be specific. Maybe you'll be like Eight, get Solan's sword", said Kirby. Manna laughs a little before resting in bed again. "See you Manna", Kirby said as he goes back to the dorms to wake up Cat.
On the first floor, he bumped into a sophomore. "Sorry about that", said the sophomore in an awkward voice. "It's alright", Kirby replied. "Hmm...That's weird, why would a sophomore be looking around for something in the freshmen area." Kirby thought to himself as he got to the dorms. As Kirby arrived at the male dorm room, he saw Cat holding an amulet in his hands. "Come on Cat it's time for us to go", said Kirby. "Already? But I don't feel like it right now…", replied Cat. "Dude, it's fine, come on let's go, the teachers don't teach us anything valuable anyway. I mean we can still attend the classes if you want, but there's no point in being here. "Alright," said Cat, and went with Kirby. A couple of days past and Manna received treatment with magic his wound healed a little bit more. He started training a lot harder so he wouldn't lose to anyone anymore. After a couple more days of straight training, he went to go ask Kirby and Cat how to use a sword as efficient as they do, but they weren't around at the school when Aflric's classes were over. It's like they mysteriously disappeared after class. "Where could those two be?", Manna asked himself.
After a couple more days of training passed before he felt a voice call near the hall. "You only have a couple of days left before the raid at Sentinel, hurry and find those that can help you. Quickly now! Before innocent lives are lost. Please, I beg of you to defend them!", cried a mysterious voice. Then it couldn't be heard no more. As mysterious as the voice came it had left. "A couple days? A raid?", Manna said to himself, "at sentinel no less? Impossible there are countless Super and Ultra classes there, how could a raid beat all of them?". Manna knows that he can't fight anyone in his state. Even if his arm was healed it still aches when he uses it. Not only that, his bone didn't heal, the only thing recovered was his flesh. As he went back to go to the patient room, he went to go take a bath.

Around 6:30 pm someone knocked on his door. "Who is it?", asked Manna. "Hey, Manna! It's me, Nat! I just wanted to see how you were doing? I mean with your arm and all you got beat pretty bad.", said Nat as she entered the room. "Well... I'm okay, see I can move it just fine." Manna would try to move his arm but he winces in reaction to the pain in his arm from moving it. "You can say if your hurt Manna", said Nat. As the two spend more time talking about their days at school, life, and friends. It became late. "See you later Manna!", said Nat cheerfully as she left the infirmary. As Manna waved, he went back to sleep.
