Chapter 153 Back To The Mountain

Fein opened his eyes, the familiar ceiling of his room greeted him, and the soft mattress of his bed gave him a comfortable feeling. He just stared dazedly at the ceiling for a whole minute.

After his head became clear from the after-effects of sleep, he stood from his bed. He sweeps his eyes on his room which he hasn't seen in a long time. The room was spotlessly clean, he knew that his mother took care of his room even when he was far away. Because even the kinds of stuff like his cabinet were arranged neatly.

He looked at his missing right hand and sighed. His mother and sister tried to convince him to get a prosthetic but how would they know that there's a way to regrow it? Their worried faces last night were still fresh on his mind. But her mother and sister were so considerate and they didn't even inquire about it.

He shook his head at his mother and sister's way of treating him. He's not that delicate as a person, right?

Fein walked to the bathroom, he opened the white plastic door, and stepped in. he felt the coldness of the tiles from his feet, the moist floor made it hard for him to walk, so he carefully threaded until he was one step away from the faucet.

He stretched his hand to spin the faucet clockwise, water began to fall from the faucet. He then proceeded to wash his hair, face, upper body, and lower body. After this, he took the toothbrush beside the mirror to brush his white teeth.

After he finished bathing, he stepped out of the bathroom and walked toward the side of the cabinet where a brown towel was draped.

He dried his hair with it before he took a hair brush. He went to the mirror opposite the cabinet and began to examine his face. Now, he can confidently say that he looked like Kaneki from Tokyo Ghoul, Of course, not the innocent version but the 'Black Reaper!'

As if thinking of something, a smirk formed in his eyes. He briskly walked to the cabinet with an excited face. He opened it, and a wide array of white laboratory coats, white polo, red gloves, and different eyeglasses greeted his eyes. Seeing this, a smile subconsciously made its way to his face.

Without hesitation, he took a white polo and wore it. He picked eyeglasses with a black frame. He donned his left hand with the long-lost red gloves. He couldn't help but look awkwardly at his missing right hand.

'Damn, somehow this doesn't feel right... I have to recover this shit quickly, it's ruining my style.'

Just like that, Fein made his way to the kitchen to cook for his family, after that, he borrowed his sister's time, and he learned from his sister's mouth that she was targeted by a group of hunters but she was saved because someone killed them before they could step in their home. Fein knew at this time that Lucius' follower is the one have annihilated the group of hunters. He guessed from the fact that the shadow was lurking in the place. And he also answer her inquiries, mostly about why he didn't tell them that he was a degu user and when did he start to obtain his powers. Of course, Fein who had mastered the Dao of bullshit could answer with ease.

He was grateful for this, who knows what would happen to his family? He also decided to let Voli stay on his sister's side from now on for safety reasons. Of course, he has to make a valid reason for this, fortunately, Voli has a certain cuteness on him.

But the question now is... Where is Voli? Well, he was on the nearby mountain where he first trained his martial arts. He can't just bring him casually to his home right? But now, it seems that he needs to do it, even at the risk of her mother becoming suspicious. Their safety is far more important to him.

...

Fein looked at his sister solemnly, "This is the place where I first trained, now it will be your turn. I will train you properly, so you can maximize the use of your ability."

Fey looked at his brother like she was looking at a monster, she already struggled just to keep her breathing stable, but even then she almost felt suffocated. "But isn't this a 4,101-meter mountain? How can you train in this environment!? I can barely move my body."

"Hehe." Fein chuckled." This mountain cannot only train your body but also your will."

He can't help but remember when he also first trained here with an enormous boulder tied to his waist. He passed out after his training.

"When I first trained here, I have a boulder in my waist, I started from the bottom and pushed to the peak of the mountain. And you're already complaining just with this?" He snorted.

Fey's eyes widened after hearing his exaggerated training, she hesitated and bit her lips before she opened her mouth.

"You won't let me do that right?"

Fein rolled his eyes at her. "Of course not, you're body wasn't at the right age for that. Otherwise, it would only stunt your growth which would be counter-productive. You will start by lifting your own body weight, laying your foundation."

Fey nodded to her brother's word although she didn't really know much about training. "So?"

,m "You will start with the fundamentals-- push up, plank, sit-ups, pull-ups, and squats."

"That's it?" Fey raised eyebrows with suspicion.

"Don't underestimate them, all things start by mastering the basics. Your future achievement would always depend on how well you understand the fundamentals." Fein sighed at her sister's lack of experience.

Fey could only nod her head, after all, she was a complete noob in this area.

Seeing his sister's attitude and willingness to learn, he nodded his head with satisfaction.

"Don't worry, there's no path until you walk it, you have to play the fool in order to learn." Fein smiled as he uttered his favorite profound quote to his sister.

Fey stared stupefied at her brother who currently had his hands on his back like a mysterious expert.
