The Ruler Of Night

Chap 20's. A sister

Shiiiiin !"

There was the sound of a woman screaming from outside the treatment room, where Shin was treated.

*Daarrr~

Suddenly the door opened so hard that it hit the wall, and made the people in the room surprised.

A girl who was also a student of the academy, appeared and ran hastily towards Shin.

"Shim! are you okay?!" asked the girl frantically while patting both of Shin's shoulders.

While Shin who was still in the process of treatment felt a little pain due to the clap that was quite hard on his shoulder.

"I'm fine, Velis," replied Shin holding back the pain with one eye closed.

"Hey Velis! don't make Shin suffer more!" said a male student who came after.

Realizing that, the girl named Velis immediately raised both hands quickly.

"Ah, forgive me Shin," said Velis feeling guilty.

"Shin, how are you doing ?" ask the boy's student.

"I'm fine Kuzu, just a minor injury," Shin replied casually.

"Then why did the bandage wrap your body ?" ask the boy named Kuzu.

"nothing," Shin replied as he held onto his bandaged chest with his right hand.

Shin turned his gaze and glanced in the opposite direction from Kuzu, and velis.

Kuzu and Velis felt very confused and looked at each other, as if asking each other in their minds.

"Hey Shin... I know you're very strong, but I wonder why you didn't finish the match so quickly ? wouldn't you not get hurt like this ?" ask Kuzu who was curious about the match earlier.

"Yes, you let that girl constantly attack you, what exactly are you thinking ?" velis added a question.

After hearing the question, then Shin closed his eyes for a moment and looked towards the ceiling of the roof of the room with his back leaning against the wall.

"Of course I won't let myself get cornered in the fight, but if that's what you see, it's probably true" Shin said.

Kuzu and Velis fell silent for a moment and tried to understand the meaning of Shin's ambiguous words.

"What do you mean ?" asked Kuzu feeling confused.

"Did that girl really make things difficult for you ?" continued Velis.

"No, it's just that when I saw his serious face facing me, at first glance he looked like my brother," Shin explained.

"Ah, so you miss your sister huh?" Kuzu.

"But if noticed again, the girl is indeed a little similar to your sister," he continued, holding the chin with the finger of his right hand.

"Eeeh, really? what's your sister like, Shin?" ask Velis curiously.

"She is a weak girl..."

"And she is also a stubborn girl..."

"He keeps trying to be strong..."

"And he often forced himself" said Shin, telling him about his younger brother.

"Where is your brother, Shin?" continued.

"She died two years ago" Shin explained.

Hearing this made Velis surprised and felt guilty for asking about her sister.

While Kuzu turned her face with her eyes closed, as if thinking that Velis should not ask that.

"A-ah, Shin? I'm sorry, I didn't mean-" said Velis feeling guilty.

"It's okay, it's not something to hide anyway" said Shin who cut off Velis' words.

"At that time my brother and I were hunting in the forest near our village, but out of nowhere suddenly a very large wolf with fiery red eyes attacked us," shin continued to tell a little of his past.

"I tried to save my brother by fighting against the wolf,

but unfortunately at that time I was not strong enough and I fell limp. When the wolf tried to attack me again, my sister yelled out my name while running towards me"

"I was very surprised and couldn't do anything about it, as he protected me and received a deep wound on his back from the attack from the wolf's claws"

"But shortly thereafter, my father and uncle came to our rescue. But unfortunately the wolf can escape quickly" said Shin who unconsciously squeezed the blanket covering his legs.

"Quite Shin, I understand how you feel" Velis said.

"Well.. So that's why I didn't finish the game so quickly, because I didn't want to hurt my sister" Shin explained.

"Despite that, you still seem to want to kill the girl using your family's secret techniques" Kuzu denied.

"Originally you know, I honestly hesitated a little at the time of that last attack. It's just that I don't want to be defeated by a girl" Shin said.

"Well, that's the Shin we know" Kuzu said with a big smile on her face.

Meanwhile, the match above the arena still continued.

It appeared that the two male disciples were fighting on top of the match arena, with magic elements that each had.

On one side was of the Knight class with its earth element, and on the other was of the Valkyrie class with its fire element.

The Valkyrie disciple continued to attack from a distance with his Fire magic, while the Knight Disciple who was still strong with his defense, seemed to be looking for an opening to counterattack.

The tight and enthusiastic fight of the students on the bleachers, who continued to cheer with cheers made the match look very interesting.

But in the middle of the crowd, there were two male students who did not seem so interested in the match.

They are Oda and Shira, who are still thinking about their friends Rin and Yuuta.

"I can't stop thinking about them" Oda said with his gloomy face.

"I feel the same way as you do, but I'm sure Rin will wake up soon and they'll be fine" Shira said, trying to calm Oda down.

"You're right, but when viewed from the attack carried out by the male student earlier, it doesn't seem like an ordinary attack," said Oda curiously.

"It was one of their family's secret techniques, passed down through generations and only they could do that technique" Shira explained.

"That sounds great, but why would he use that secret technique just to fight a girl?!" asked Oda a little annoyed.

"The technique is usually only done for strong opponents, if he uses a secret technique to deal with Rin, it means Rin is a formidable opponent" Shira explained.

"Also we have a great royal medical team, they are highly trained magi. So don't worry, Rin will definitely be fine" he reassured Oda.

"Alright I understand," Oda replied with a feeling that had begun to calm down.
