"What!?" The teen was frozen. He didn't know what to do. One wrong move and he is dead! He was worried if he shows the movement set he is going to be killed soon after.
"I said...Show me the movements!" The kid raised his voice and menacingly said.
"I will, I will!" The teen didn't want to take risks.
"Good..."
The teen started doing the movement set infront of the kid.
----------------------------------------
It is currently 9 AM and Tana just woke up. The first thing he noticed is that he was feeling fatigued.
"What the...." Tana said while checking his body temperature. "42°C! How?" Tana exclaimed after checking his body temperature. Due to him having a stronger body he can still move but the feeling of fatigue is still there.
"What is happening!?" Chris heard Tana yelling and rushed to his room. Chris was awake for a few hours already.
"Look." Tana answered and showed the thermometer to Chris.
"What the!? How are you still conscious? This type of fever would make you unable to move normally!" Chris was shocked after seeing the temperature.
"I don't know. If my guess is right it is that the viruses and bacteria managed to get some way of absorbing the mana. If that is true...I don't know what will happen with humanity from this point onward. I could probably erase the virus from my system with body refining but what about the other humans?" Tana was getting worried and excited at the same time. Worried for the humans in his town and excited about a new discovery.
" You're right...something like that could very likely happen. I will go prepare some herbal mixes and you stay in the bed for today,we won't do anything today." Chris said.
"Wait! Go and check the neighboors too. We need to be sure no one got infected aswell. Also be careful around me. Wear a mask or something." Tana said while getting back to into his bed.
'What now? I need to find a way of fighting the virus. I can use body refining to kill it but then I won't have the immunity against the virus after that. What if I endure it until my body makes some kind of immunity?' Tana thought. If the evolution of viruses is true then they're in for it. If not...that is even worse. If they don't know what they're fighting how can they make a strategy to fight it?
----------------------------------------
In the weird grassland world the teen was still demonstrating the movement set infornt of the kid. The kid had a frown on his face while looking at the movements again and again.
He couldn't comprehend anything from these movements! The looked like some kind of martial art but they didn't seem like something special at all!
"What the hell!" The kid yelled and threw a punch into the ground. He didn't hold back so the ground beneath him was crushed mercilessly.
"Wh-What is it!?" The teen was startled and it stopped doing the movements. The teen managed to find out what the movement set did but the kid didn't! This set of movements helps with the absorbtion of the energy the teen and the kid felt up until now.
They couldn't absorb the energy before but right now the teen could! One thing was off though. Whenever the teen absorbed the energy he would feel energized at first and then uncomfortable later. Like something was stealing the energy back.

"Again! Show the movements again. Don't stop until I find out what is going on!" The kid yelled at the teen
"Y-yes! " The teen continued doing the movements.
----------------------------------------
"The neighboors are alright. I think this isn't an infection of some sort. The problem is probably in your body only." Chris told Tana after he came back.
Tana felt better for a moment but it was just for a few seconds. The mana in his body was becoming chaotic and and more and more impure!
"Chris! Get me the best quality mana replenishing herbs we have!" Tana told Chris while trying to think of a reason this is happening. He couldn't! There was no reason this is happening! This is an anomaly! Tana thought.
...
After a few minutes Chris came back with all the mana replenishing herbs he could gather.
"Here eat this!" Chris said while helping Tana eat the herbs one by one. He wasn't thinking about the side effects because what's most important was his friend's life not the mana purity!
After Tana ate the herbs he felt replenished for a second and then the chaos in his body seemed to have become stronger! Tana didn't expect that and he fell unconscious...
"Tana? Hey,Tana!! Wake up man! You can't die!" Chris was schocked when he saw Tana fall unconscious! He didn't think the friend of his he met when he was a kid would just die like this.
He thought for a moment and then remembered a herb he didn't use yet. The green-purple herb he and Tana thought was used to make a poison. If his guess is right and what Tana is battling isn't a virus but a poison then he is going to fight fire with fire!
"Hope this works." Chris said while feeding Tana the green-purple herb.
----------------------------------------
What the ...fuck!? Tana was startled when he fainted. The first thing he saw was a blue sky and an almost infinite horizon infront of him. The place he was right now was infront of a light blue lake. The lake wasn't really big. Atleast a hundred meters in diameter. He couldn't see the bottom of it though.
He didn't know what to do so he waited...and waited. At one time he noticed the lake becoming smaller and smaller. Like it was being drained by something. Tana wanted to try diving into the lake but he was worried about the dangers.
After waiting for more than 20 minutes tana noticed the sky becoming darker and clouds appearing above the lake. The clouds were emitting a menacing aura ever since they formed.
"What...is that?" Tana said while looking for cover.
...

So...an unexpected thing happened...I broke my arm while riding my bike.
This chapter was a pain in the ass to write with a broken arm! Also.. I will take a break for a few weeks until my arm heals. Or I will just find someone to write until I heal up.
Sorry...I'm really sorry! <3 love you though!
