Chapter 17: Chapter 17

My mother comes back with a tray full of different forms of meals. She then sits at the same chair she was on with the plate of meals on both of her laps. picking up the spoon filled with what seems to be soup after which moving it toward my face. Transferring my dominant hand in a blocking position in the direction of the moving spoon in an attempt to stop her, however my mother looks at me with watery eyes, a face full of unhappiness, but most of all one filled with betrayal. Seeing her that way fills me up with a source of regret.  

So, overall, I ended up letting her spoon feed me all the food she had delivered to me. My pride and glory has once again plummeted. Although it has gone down, I am but within the body of toddler, so I do not believe it is that serious. If someone were to stroll in and see what had happened, they would neither say anything nor feel weird about it since I am a three-year-old child. However, despite the fact that I seem like a three-year-old it still would not imply that my thoughts and way of thinking aren't. After all I'm that what you would call a reincarnator, I used to be far too old to be spoon feed, however additionally not too old to require a person to spoon feed me either.

After that dreadful experience, my mother stands up with the tray of empty bowls while heading towards the door. She looks at me one final time then opens the door and leaves for what I'd anticipate will be the kitchen to clean the dirty bowls. She closes the door very softly as she usually does, leaving me all by myself once more. All alone to ponder on what would be my next move. Getting stronger is a must of course, however ensuring those who are close to me remain safe and sound is also a primary priority of mine. Now that I know that anyone or anything may have the capabilities to turn out to be stronger has expanded out my way of thinking.

Ever since I was reincarnated into this world I have wanted to explore, see, or revel in things I have never experience before. However, knowing that there are beings out there who can bring harm to my family has, how am I able to put it, scared me somewhat. It has stuffed my thoughts with frightening scenarios like for instance, what if I were to return from my journey only to see every person I know and love dead. If I ever want to go on a journey, I must first find a way to rectify that scenario. I know that my father is strong, and my mother is probably one as well, but they're nevertheless human. They can't guard themselves and those around them at the same time if a really big threat were to appear. But that is for future me to decide, I'm still three years old in the end. My first priority is to get stronger whilst assisting Sack get stronger as well. 

Speaking of Sack, I wonder what he is doing. I hope he isn't too traumatized by what he had to go through. Right after I finished my thoughts my mother walks into the room with that same silent careful motion as before. She moves nearer towards me with the identical motherly smile she would constantly give me. "Do you feel better" she asks me whilst sitting down in the chair. I look up at her while reassuring her that I am in good condition and that nothing is wrong with me. Feeling relief and remedy of what I had said she moves and sits in a more comfortable position. "How is Sack doing?, he was hurt very badly as well" i say to my mother with a questionable tone and face. 

My mother takes a small glance at my direction while at the same time smiling lovingly, with sparkly eyes and a prideful aura unleashing out of her. "He is doing just fine, Sara had come over the day he had woken up. Reassuring me that he is doing well" She tells me, sounding happy and prideful. I can only imagine why she's feeling this way, it's probably because i am worried about a friend. I in return smile back at her.

THREE DAYS LATER 

While i was still recovering, three days went by. I am currently at my backyard honing my skills with Sack. My, and Sack's father have still not returned, my mother informed me they would return in approximately fifteen days. A day ago sack had come over together with his mother however, that day Sack's eyes were filled with determination and desire for strength. What he went through and what had happened with Jack must have improved and filled his will for strength. this is why at this present moment, Sack is Sprinting towards me along with his wooden spear aiming at any weakness i may have.

I in return dash towards him as well, side stepping from left to right. Keeping him moving and guessing my location. even though i am a lot faster and stronger than Sack, Sack is still a note worthy opponent. We've exchanged blows many times, like me he must have memorized my fighting style. Performing different types of moves, one after another will help not only him, but me as well. As soon as I'm near him, I aim directly at his abdomen with my wooden sword, however Sack seeing were i'm aiming, blocks my attack than does a counter attack of his own.

He places his spear were my attack would have landed, deflecting my strike. Moving and shifting his spear over his head in a quick motion, his spear dives down towards my head. I in return turn and twist to the right side whilst having my sword to the right of me aiming this time at his feet to trip him over. He by some means must have noticed that was my next move considering the fact that he jumps back, dodging my attack. Mid leap he holds his spear on his right hand than throws it with all his might. Seeing the projectile flying with rapid speeds towards my direction, surprises me a bit, however i than hit the flying spear with my sword, launching it a few feet.

Now seeing and understanding he no longer has any means to protect and shield himself, i dash at him with all my might. With every step the earth shatters below me. Once infront of him my sword goes down, hitting it's target. Since Sack no longer has his spear to deflect my attack, he as a substitute makes use of his arms. Sack than kicks me on the stomach with his left leg, sending me back a few feet. Taking his sudden kick as an advantage, he runs towards his spear. I alas understanding in advance his plan, run even faster, blocking his attempt. Now infront of Sack with his spear behind me looking at him with a look that says 'what now?'. 

Sack on the other hand position himself in a combat ready stance, surprising me. "My father had thought me a bit of hand at hand combat. For the purpose that if a scenario like this were to happen" he answers my surprising appearance. Not waiting a second later, he runs up to me with his right arm aiming directly at my face. Dodging that assault by moving my head to the right, I than use my wooden sword by moving it at rapid speed towards his unguarded area. Mid swing he grabs my wooden sword, taken it from me with force. He than throws my wooden sword faraway from us. Now neither of us have a weapon.

Sack smiles with excitement, believing that his got me in a tight spot. However back when i was in my old world, i had many fighting experiences with hand to hand combat. The hand to hand combats that i knew were more of street fights. But even that is more experience than any small amount of training Sack may have gotten. I smile in return to Sack's smile confusing and surprising him. Taking this to my benefit, i move closer towards him punching directly at his chest sending him back a bit. The small surprise he may have had went away as rapid as it came given that he moves to intercept my next attack.

Now is no longer a duel with weapons, but a full on brawl. Punches and kicks left and right, if someone were to see this they would think we had a major argument prior to this. After approximately thirty minutes of us fighting hand to hand, Sack eventually gives up. Sack is laying down on the floor defeated while I on the other hand am standing subsequent to his laying body. Transferring my dominant hand in the direction of the laying Sack so that i would help him get up. He takes my hand while at the same time saying "I thought i had you this time!, i really really! thought i had you." Looking at his disappointment face i tell him "everyday you keep surprising me Sack, im sure there would come a time when you'll get as strong as me."

Every time Sack and i have trained. We have gotten much and much stronger. I will say that we at this very moment are stronger than most adults in this small village. I... we cant wait for the time when will go and awaken our mana. At that point im sure we will get exponentially stronger. We only have to wait two years and in the mean time we will hone our combat skills for when that time comes.
