It was now nighttime, and finally, Yra wakes up, and the first thing he does is look at his hands and checking his body.
“It’s me… is really me… right?”
He gets up, walking to his bathroom, his steps are fast and agile, and his mind is in chaos, thinking about what happened in his fight against Gara.
He looks his appearance in the mirror, not seeing that long hair, he saw before starting to beat that stronger enemy than him, so easily.
“That power… my physical power increase… too much for a normal strengthening magic… what was that? What happened?”
Then, he closes his eyes, as he makes an expression of pain.
“Tch.”
‘What a headache?!’
“We have a duty, to protect the weak humanity, from the stronger races that we have call monsters… because for us they are monsters, more powerful than us, having greater life expectancy, and more knowledge in magic.”
‘What?’
“I am a hunter…”
‘Stop, this is not me… what is happening…?’
“My name is…”
CRACK
Yra punches the mirror, breaking it, and finally, opening his eyes.
“What the hell was all that? Why did my voice sound so different? Why did I say that?”
After all his lives, now there were few thinks that scare him, but not being able to control himself, his own body, and actions, which terrifying him so much after what happened to his body with the curse that affected him for years.
<<<>>>
The location was in an office on the top floor of Hope Hospital.
"I'm glad to see you again, young Yra." - said Victor Walton, the best doctor in the hospital.
Normally it was rare for someone to have an appointment with the doctor in such a brief time, but Victor accepted and made some time to deal with the young man in front of him, after all, for him, Yra was special, incredibly special.
Without his mask, Yra couldn't help but feel envious when he saw the doctor's attractive face, thinking that surely the doctor must be immensely popular with women, without realizing that he was now also an extremely attractive man.
"Tell me, why this meeting with me? Do you feel bad? Is something bothering you?"
The young man in front of him nods at the questions of the handsome doctor.
Victor looks at Yra's captivating red eyes, something abnormal for a human, and that there was a specific race that possessed them.
But not a human, never a human, although the human race was a race with the most diverse colors for eyes and hair, there was not documentation of a human with red eyes, until Yra was born, and that, should not be possible.
"Hm, it's been months since we saw each other, and I know you don't have a registration in the hospital, so you're not officially a patient of ours, but you can fix that later, for now, let's focus on what is happening to you, young Yra."
Victor continued speaking.
"I'm surprised, I see you in excellent physical condition, very enviable for many people of your age, you're an almost perfect human specimen one could say in the physical aspect, and I can notice that your magic power has increased considerably, and that it's in perfect condition, balanced with your body, so, what's the problem?"
Yra was surprised, he couldn't believe that the doctor in front of him could notice the change in his mana, when at this very moment, or rather, all the time, he was using camouflage magic, hiding that he possessed substantial amounts of mana.
The tale has been stolen; if detected on Amazon, report the violation.
And behold, someone who could see through his ability.
"I..." - Yra finally began to speak. - "I feel... weird... I feel like I'm not myself sometimes... I have... strange memories... sometimes I talk... and I say strange things... I have no idea what's happening to me."
"Hm."
Suddenly, Victor's green eyes sparkled.
"I don't notice any traces of the curse, so it's not that... hm, tell me, young Yra, since when did this start."
Victor clearly saw the nervousness that the young man tried to hide, but for someone like him, with quite a vast number of years of experience in seeing people's faces, he quickly detected it.
"Young Yra, look at me." – said Doctor Victor Walton, after seeing how nervous Yra was, looking everywhere in the room, like trying to find a way to escape, despite him being the one who came here by himself.
Yra looked at the doctor's face, who showed a friendly smile.
"Trust me, after all, I have kept the secret that you are able to use magic, besides, real doctors always keep their patients' secrets."
Yra nodded.
"I... can I trust you? Really?" – Yra asked, with trust issues since the many experiences of his former lives that has affect him greatly.
The doctor's smile grew, and he said:
"No." - seriously despite showing a happy face.
Victor Walton stood up from his seat, looking out the window of his office, looking at the city landscape, it was early morning, and the city was looking great and radiant from the great and nice look he has in this height.
"It would be stupid for you to trust someone you barely know, but I am the best doctor on the island, one of the best in the world, and I am not being arrogant."
The doctor skillfully turned around, now looking seriously at Yra.
"I am the only one at this moment who is able to help you; so, for the moment, trust my ethics as a doctor, and tell me since when you started having these... unusual symptoms."
Yra nodded.
He also thought it was a bad idea to trust the doctor, but now he doesn’t only hear voices on his head, but he himself speak words that he doesn’t want to say, words that he doesn’t recognize what they really mean, strange spoken words that causing him fear of what is happening.
'Hunter? Monsters?' - As far as he knew, in the modern world he now lived in, monsters were just a myth...
Then, when he closed his eyes, he saw the living image of people he didn't recognize, they weren't part of those he knew in his old lives, so, this frustrated him.
He felt like he was losing control of himself.
"It all started... yesterday..." - Yra began to explain.
Doctor Walton occasionally wrote something in a small notebook he had, but his eyes never left the young man.
'Interesting... that old woman must be that well-known magician, the Witch Crow.' - thought the doctor, quickly identifying who the old woman was. – ‘How daring of her? Young Yra is now a worker under Robb Aldrich, someone who has many resources and power equal to many of the nobles houses of Sakura Island.’
At the end of his explanation, the doctor cleared his throat, and with a cheerful smile, a smile of true happiness, he stood up, approaching the young man.
"Congratulations, young Yra, you have achieved AWAKENING."
"'What?" - he asked, somewhat bewildered.
Yra looked puzzled at what he had heard. Not understanding what that mean.
The doctor looked at the clock, an old clock, with a wooden cover, which was more than three centuries old.
"Oh, I'm afraid that will be for our next talk."
"What?" – Yra did not like that, after all, he still didn’t know what was happening to him.
"Soon I will have to go to surgery, so, tomorrow at the same time, I will finish explaining to you." - said Victor, who opened the door to his office, subtly asking Yra to leave. - "But don't worry, I already know what your problem is."
"Really?"
The doctor nodded, and Yra left his office.
"Tomorrow, same time, right?"
"That's right, young Yra, and don't worry, what's happening to you is nothing serious; see you later." - and with that, Doctor Victor Walton closed the door, preparing to soon go to the delicate surgery he had to deal with.
Yra looked at the door with some frustration.
'Nothing serious?' - he thought with a hint of anger. - 'I'm falling into madness! It's something extremely dangerous, how can it not be something serious?!'
Even so, Yra took a deep breath, and began to walk, leaving there.
As he left the hospital, and breathed in the fresh air, feeling the breeze caress his body, the young man began to walk towards the van that he parked half a kilometer from the hospital.
Jogging, feeling every muscle he used.
Feeling in control and wanting to keep it that way forever.
From the top of the building, Victor Walton smiled as he watched Yra leave.
"You've awakened... clearly your bloodline as Vanris is the most abundant in you, still, it's curious... a Vanris with the common eyes that vampires possess, ha, who would have said it."
Seeing him entering the vehicle, the doctor finally stops looking and prepare to leave for the surgery, an old woman who require a transplant of heart, an extraordinarily rich older woman.
With the amazing technology, a new heart compatible with the old woman could be made, sadly for many people, to obtain this, it took an expensive amount of money.
Money that many couldn’t spent.
Not a problem for the rich grandma.
Of course, sometimes, Doctor Walton help people with less resources, good people in need.
And that make some of the higher ups to be mad, after all, to create an organ, although possible, it was expensive for the ingredients necessary for that.
But Victor Walton was not only a doctor, but the CEO, Board Director, and also, the best Doctor of the Hospital Hope.
Popular, rich, and that bring a lot of rich clients to the hospital.
So, the higher ups that have a little bit of voice in the decisions of the hospital have to be quiet when the doctor helps people in need – good people – who doesn’t bring money to their pockets, because only the doctor is above them.
