Chapter 17 - Gozaburo Seto

Lou tries his best, but everything has a limit. Lou reaches his limit before he even steps in the finish line and that is the school gate.

Hee ran at full speed but he forgot that he was already a half-zombie, he did not notice the sunlight because of the cloud covering the sun. When he was about to reach in the end, the cloud suddenly blew by the western wind, and the sun shone in the whole City D.

Seto-Sensei who guarding the gate amaze in his determination but rules is rules, Lou is late so he needs to be punished.

Seto-Sensei is a middle-aged man with a large scar on his face, he looks strict and scary because of his non-smiling face. His face can even rival a gang boss or yakuza boss. Based on the school forum Seto-Sensei or Gozaburo Seto is merfolk other than that no one knows where he comes from or other personal information.

Seto-Sensei punishes all the students that are late to run in the sports field for 3 laps and then they can go back to their own room after it.

Haruna and Onodera complete their 3 laps easily after all the two girls are not tired like others, while Lou who is already walking like a zombie in the middle of the sun can't even finish one lap.

The two girls are worried about him, and want to help Lou. But Lou declined their offer. He said that he will go back after he finishes the penalty.

Lou thought while walking in the sun,' What the hell is this heat, I thought I would not go to experience this thing but who thought that the difficulty would reach a new level.'

In his memory Lou can finish the 3 laps easily even though he doesn't have any ability that he has now, but this time Lou can't even finish an easy 3 lap in the field.

Meanwhile, Seto-Sensei gazing at Lou who walks like a zombie, he thought" What happens to that kid, Last time i punish him like this he easily run the 3 laps"

"But this time he almost can't run for a few meters, and not only that. I can even smell burning meat from the kid"

Seto was confused about what happened to Lou, he has high expectations for this kid. That's why he keeps pushing him to become a real man. After all, he looks sissy in every aspect.

Not only that he is doing this because of some promise that he made from his old friend.

Lou whos walking in the middle of the field looks like a dry fish, from his cheekbone to every part of his body. The water in his body already evaporates because of his unique body condition.

After all, who is in the right mind will run in under the sun and know that is his weakness.

Lou fell down on the sizzling ground, he breathed heavily. He looks like a fish that comes out of water.

Seto was shocked that the kid suddenly collapsed, he hurried to him and checked his condition. He sees Lou's body that almost bone and skin left, He carries him to the infirmary and asks," What happened to you?"

Lou weakly said," W…. a .. t ..e ...r …."

Seto-Sensei did not understand what he said, so he asked again," What?"

Lou used all the strength that left on him and said the word using his dry mouth," …..water …."

Ugh

As if he is in his last breath, Lou eyes turn whiet, Seto-Sensei sees it and suddenly becomes nervous," Kid don't die on me!! You still need to accomplish your Grandpa's agreement!!"

He hurriedly grabbed the drinking gallon from the drinking dispenser and poured the water into Lou.

Like a tissue paper, Lou's body absorbs all the water that pours on him, Seto-Sensei amazes he feels like watching a fast forward.

Gasp

Lou's eyes suddenly open, inhale plenty of full air and stare at the surroundings, seeing that he is out of the sun he sighed.

Seto-Sensei sees that Lou's color and body condition start to return to normal as if someone used super heal on him.

Seto-Sensai asks," What happened to you kid? Why did you suddenly collapse?"

Lou wry smile and said," Well, Sensai I awake my special ability yesterday"

Seto-Sensei's face suddenly smiled, Lou was shocked. This is his first time seeing his teacher smile.

Seto asks," Then what does having awake your ability have to do with what happened to you just now?"

Lou embarrassed smile," I got a cool ability, and same time I got an annoying weakness"

Seto's lips twitch, this kid is really something. Where in the world you can see a person who awakes both special ability and weakness.

He already knows what kind of ability he awakens, but he still asks him," So what kind of ability did you get?"

Seto thought,' He became summoner'

Lou shyly said," I got the ability of a zombie"

Seto choke in his own saliva from this kid, he doesn't know if the information he got from his old friend is right. He already monitored this kid for almost 2 years in this school. He even double-checks this kid information that he has.

He knows that this is the kid that his friend is talking to him but the problem is, he awakes a different ability.

He thought,' Maybe this kid is so mediocre that's why he did not get the summon ability, but still his view of this kid never changes and the promise from his grandfather still needs to be completed.

Lou continued," I got 'Super Regeneration','Strength Amplification','Magic Absorption' and 'Identify"

Hearing all the ability he got, Seto shocked again," So much, 'Super Regeneration','Strength Amplification' this ability is already excellent enough, but you still have 'Magic Absorption' and 'Identify"

"Are you going to become anti-mage in future?"

Lou wry smiled and said," The skill is excellent but the weakness is worse…."

"My weakness is Holy Light, Light Element, Sunlight, Intense Heat, and the worst thing is my body can't keep up to my Strength Amplification"

Seto said," The body strength can be trained so you don't need to worry about that, but your weakness is now like a curse that will follow you in your whole life"

"What are you going to do in future?"

Lou said," I will find a cure to my weakness, maybe sunblock can help me. And for my body strength, I come up with an idea to train my self"

Seto patted his shoulder and seriously said," Keep up the good work kid, I have high hopes for you. Don't worry I will find a good solution to your problem too"

Lou bowed his head and said," Thank you very much sensei!"

Seto strictly said," Don't mention it, you need to go back to your classroom, the class is about to start"

Lou nodded, he bowed his head again and left quickly.

Seto thought," Well, he already awakened his ability, even though he did not get the summon ability he still got excellent ability... so it's my time to accomplish my promise.."

Meanwhile Lou happily walked back to his room. He doesn't know that big trouble will start because he successfully awakens his ability.
