I'm back to it. It's been three long years, I think. A small chapter to announce my return. I will come back to write this story some more. Hopefully, I will manage to commit to this one. Well, much has happened in my life. I got job, I'm living my life, but I found it in me to (try) write this story once again. Well, I will try to post some new chapters next week. See ya!
Strange as this is, part of his mind is at ease with the events of earlier this day. This Doctor, an odd and eccentric person at best, despite her shadiness, could ease him… is this an effect of her sort of super power, or something like that? He doesn't care, not now.
The day wasn't long compared to others, it passed reasonably quickly. Yet, he feels more tired than usual. Good grief. At least, somehow, his heart feels better now than how it was at the start of the day.
Such is life… "If you want to be free, become strong." Her words echo inside his head. But what would being free bring to his plate? How would his predicament change? He spends so much time asking himself how to survive in this place, and never questioning himself on what he would do after getting out.
Power? He could obtain that, purpose? Is what he is lacking right now. What to do with the absence of an objective to push forward? That woman has a way of worming inside someone's head… Life being simple isn't on the plate.
Yet, he felt at peace with that. Sometimes, Fate acts strangely, indeed. One of three fights won… two to go. A status card was "dropped" from the guy, even if he didn't die. Thinking about that, the system had said that defeating someone is enough, no?

It could've been just one. No point in looking the gift horse in the mouth at this point; even one point can become a matter of life or death in these fights. The more, the merrier. His future adversaries probably would have the "aura".
An invisible and physically boosting thing… How could someone deal with that…? "Who am I trying to fool? This haunted piece of software made me already super human…" While fighting someone with aura would be like fighting someone cheating, he too has something akin to cheating. Now the question is, how big is the gap of strength?
Mizuki didn't appear to be so much different from someone without aura, but this may be a fruit of his "old age" The other example, the Doctor is a freak of nature regarding physical aptitude. Too much of a nuisance for both, they cannot be held as an average example.
But even normal people could become an even match for him, so the danger of people with aura must be bigger… so much thinking and planning to stay alive another day, such is his new life, a fight for his life.
At least, this would be a day of peace, wouldn't it? A brief calm before the incoming storms ahead.

The timing of that thing… Apparently, not even in his thoughts can he imagine peace. Such is his life…
Taking a drink from her mug with coffee, the "doctor" analyzed the documents on her clipboard, some wounded due to a mine's cave in, and more lost/trapped and missing. Not that many of them matter, just prisoners in this "legal facility". What a joke, honestly.
"Hm? Adam Taurus. Missing… Isn't that the one boy that he has… had a bond with?" Rubbing her temples with her index and thumb, she could feel the headache forming. This will be hard to explain if Alexander inquires about that boy's fate. At least the Old Man he has a bond with is still alive, this can be used for later.
Why can't the events surrounding that brat be easily solved? "It almost reminds me of them." Well, such is her life. This day will be faithful, dealing with patients of that cave-in and thinking about how to train the brat for his next fights.
