Chapter 17: Leader
I opened my eyes and the first thing I saw was the pair of Misha's blue eyes looking at me while sitting next to me.
She gasped as soon as she saw me open my eyes and hug me. "Big bro Casimir!"
"Don't worry, I'm still kicking."
Misha smiled at me and leaned her head on my arms.
I wanted to pat her head but for some reason, I couldn't move my body.
"Did I end up being crippled?"
"Oh, you're finally awake."
I turned my gaze towards the voice and found Mehrad leaning on the door while looking at me.
Now that I realized it, I wasn't lying in my room. Thanks to the massive pillow I was leaning on, I could see the entire room and Mehrad standing a few meters away.
"How long did I sleep?"
"About 7 hours."
"I see, by the way, for some reason, I can't move my body."
He walked towards me. "Of course, you can't, you've just broken several bones of your body due to the injuries you received from the battle earlier."
"How many of those several? 'cause I think all my bones are completely broken."
He chuckled. "If other people took the beatings you just took earlier, they're probably dead by now."
"I know right? That guy has insane skill!"
"It's funny to hear that coming from the person who actually defeated him."
"Speaking of, where is he? Don't tell me he's in the same condition as mine as well?"
"No, apparently, he's physically stronger than you and well experienced when it comes to his own skill so it's already expected, he's in the living room at this moment."
I nodded. At least I can still nod.
"Misha, can you put my hand on my chest?"
Without hesitation, Misha immediately took my hand and put it on my chest.
"Thanks."
I activated my Healing magic, I instantly felt the treatment through my body, after some time, I could finally move my body.
I sat on the bed and found Mehrad looking at me as if I was a bizarre oddity.
"Is there a problem?"
He just shook his head and smiled. "Let me guide you outside."
We walked through the white corridor with a red carpet lying on the floor.
"Where is this place?"
"This is our base, your battle against Leo took place just outside earlier."
Even Mehrad?
"I did?"
"You did." He repeatedly nodded.
"It's bad. I'm not used to walking around without it."
Leo shrugged. "What do you mean? You are now the very image of this faction, don't be a chicken and show everyone what you're made of."
I exhaled. "Okay, I'll take your advice."
He immediately raised his thumbs up while smirking.
Wow, not suspicious at all.
I decided to take Misha back to the inn, while on the road, I was getting tons of gazes all over the place, everyone was looking at me with their scrutinizing eyes.
We decided to stop by the restaurant and eat for dinner and the moment we entered, all of the attention was already on us, the eyes of the customers instantly locked on me.
One of the waitresses sprinted towards me and bowed her head. "I will guide you to your seat, Master Casimir."
Mast- what?
I just slept for 7 hours and they already know my name? How fast does news spread in this place?
I followed her and sat on the wooden chair they sent me to.
"Here's the menu, Master Casimir."
"Yes, thanks."
I responded while massaging my forehead.
Yep, this is my life now.
