CronoOver

The operation that saved his life had put his body in a much weaker state then it was in the OverWorld, so now he is training in order to regain that strength.

"249... 250... 251..."

-He had been training for the fast hour already. First, he started with situps, then went to squats, followed by pullups. And now he is doing push-ups, five hundred of each set.

"You"re up, already..."-Said Serah while yawning very loudly.

"Sorry, did I wake you up?"

"Nah, I was moving too much in bed and fell down, So I woke up. Want some breakfast?"

"I see, Yes and thank you!"

"Waffles or pancakes?"

"Eggs, fried, harder"

"Ah, I Thought you well! Finish up and come eat then."

"Alright!"

-While Serah went and prepared them breakfast, Rin hurried up and finished with his training as fast as he coud. He then went to the bathroom and washed his body, he sweated a lot from the training so he started to stink. A shower was something he definitely needed.

-After he finished he took the towel and dried himself, before dressing up in some casual clothes and heading to the kitchen. While on his way there he pulled his prosthetic technological eye from his pocket and put it back into his eye socket.

"Doesn"t that hurt, having to do it every time?"

"I got used to it already, after a while it"s not that bad."

"Isn"t it waterproof?"

"Not sure, but I don"t want to test it and then end up destroying it."

"I guess not, You did go through h.e.l.l in order to obtain it."-She said angrily.

"Haha... I told you I won"t do anything like that again. I couldn"t think straight back then and was led by my emotions. I won"t be making that mistake again, so don"t be angry..."

"OK, I believe you, so let"s eat!"

"Pluss, I did pay way more than it"s worth for it, that d.a.m.n b.a.s.t.a.r.d ripped me off good."

-Serah finished cooking and put two plated with eggs on the table. Rin took out milk from the fridge and poured it into two gla.s.ses which he placed on the table, one for him and the other for Serah.

"I still don"t get that obsession of yours about milk and cheese."

"What"s so weird about it, I simply love the taste."

"The amount that you consume is not simply loving the taste..."

"Ha...ha...ha..."

-They engaged in simple conversation while having breakfast, they talked about a lot of things like, what kind of clothes he likes to wear in order to get some ideas for designs she was supposed to do for next week. Rin laughed and smiled, he loved the simple and easygoing conversations they had.

"Well, I guess I love something simple and not that much colorful."

"Simple, you say... I"m sorry for bringing it up, but it"s been on my mind lately. How did the search for Finn go, did you have any luck?"

"No, I tried everything but nothing in the end."

"We went to his house two days ago and it seems he and his family moved away three years ago, but we don"t know where."-said Serah with a low tone of voice.

"I tried searching the internet for any kind of information or clues about where he coud have moved to, but I didn"t find anything. More and more, I"m starting to think I"m never going to apologize to him."

-Serah stopped eating and stood up from her chair. She came behind Rin, gave him a kiss on the cheek and hugged him tightly!

"Don"t worry, I sure you"ll find him and make up with him, just don"t give up hope!"

"...Thank you, mom, Every time I think about our last conversation and how stupid I was, I reminded of how blessed I was having him as my best friend. I have to find him and apologize!"

"Once you become a Magician in training, the school will allow you to travel all around the world for your training, so I"m sure you will find him again!"

"Yeah."

"Well then, what time is it now?"

"It"s seven, why?"

"There is a new series I started watching, It"s called Zero Curse. It"s airing right now!"

-Serah took the remote control and turned on the television. The program that was currently still airing was the news, not the show she wanted to watch.

"There was another appearance of the white human-looking monsters with st.i.tches all over their bodies, on the fields of whales. People don"t know what they are and are afraid they might att..."

"Ah! again about that, it seems all the news is talking about these days are monsters this, other races that. Well, better that than politics."

"Something important or?"

"Neh, just the news channel overexaggerating things again, say did you pack everything you need or is there something left?"

"Ah, I almost forgot, I need to go down to the city and find an eye lense. It would be weird going to school with an eye like this!"

"And don"t forget you still need to go for that checkup to Dr. Jurlina, later today."

"I remember, at five, Right?"

"That"s right. There so much we still need to do, it"s good I took my vacation."

"Well, there are just three more days..."

"yes... just three more..."

-It was three days until Rin"s departure for Prestige Island. It has been a week already since the entrance exam, and the letter from the school they were waiting had arrived five days ago. In it, it said that in ten days a cruiser ship shall arrive at the Britan harbor and pick up Rin and another student who pa.s.sed the exam and transport them as well as all other students from around the world to the Island where Magician"s high is located.

-He is to pack his stuff and all the Accessories he things are important and wait for the ship with his parents at the harbor at six in the morning. The ship is supposed to arrive at seven but they said it would be better if they arrived earlier so that the captain can"t complain if he arrives early.

"You know what, what do you say we go out today and enjoy the days we have left to the fullest, huh mom?"

"You think what I think?"

"Cheese land?"

"NO, wait, that exists?"

"Yeah, It"s an entire park made out of cheese, and at midnight they have this thing called "all you can eat cheese", so..."

"I said, NO and that"s a NO. I sware to G.o.d, why would someone even invent that?"

"You just don"t know the greatness of cheese!"

"Yeah whatever, I was thinking we coud go Benji jumping and then maybe camping for the next three days?"

"I never did any of that, so I"m in."

"I would be worried if you did go Benji jumping, but then it"s decided. After I finish my show we leave to go buy all the things we need for camping and what you need for school, visit the good doctor and leave for the woods!"

"Yep, I"ll go check if I have everything one more time."

"You do that, and I"m going to watch my show... Huh, Amanda how coud you, you wh.o.r.e!"

-While Serah watched her show, Rin was going through his bag and looking if there was something he forgot or didn"t take into account for. He packed a couple more shirts and pants as well as some bandages, just in case.

-After her show was over and Rin had checked everything, they took the leave from the hotel and made their way towards the town. They had the objective of going somewhere where they coud buy gla.s.ses as well as contacts.

"Gla.s.ses?"

"Yes, I was using your old ones but it seems my sight got only worse. Now I can"t see jack s.h.i.t with this right eye of mine, and it was supposed to be my good eye!"

"When did it start going bad?"

"I would say around five maybe four days ago."

"Why didn"t you say anything earlier?"

"To be honest, I didn"t think much of it. My body was still beaten up from the tournament so I thought of it as something from that."

"How much can you see now?"

"Mostly foggy, I can specify what"s in front of me, only if I concentrate."

"Ah, don"t worry I know a great girl for the job. We went to the same high school, and we still keep in touch, she is a great eye doctor!"

"Alright then, let"s go to her!"

-And so Rin and Serah had their first destination, a small clinic that her high school friend owns and works at. They drove a few minutes in the car before arriving in front of a small local building in the middle of town. By the look of it, it didn"t look all that professional or newly build, It was older but still in good shape.

-They parked the car in front of it and made their way inside of the building. After entering through the door, the first thing they were greeted by was a nice, well-kept hallway. It had a nice atmosphere and was decorated with a lot of flowers and plants. As they walked pa.s.sed it, they felt like they were in a real forest.

"Knock, knock!"

-Serah knocked on the door, and the sound of a person falling down a chair was heard coming behind the same door. Not so long after that, a beautiful tall woman opened the door and greeted them with a yawning face that had just woken up from a nap.

"I"m sorry, we don"t open until nine, goodbye!"

"It"s me Mai, Serah!"

-The woman Mai rolled her eyes in order to wake up a little as she was astounded at the sight in front of her. She hugged Serah and put her face in between her two big bosoms while full of joy and happiness laughing.

"Oh, how long has it been Serah?"

"Around a year."

"And you didn"t change a bit, so whos the kid?"

"...My son..."

"Hi, I"m Rin, a pleasure to meet you."

"Wow, wow, wow hold on a second there, I knew you got engaged and everything but there is no way in h.e.l.l that kids can grow that fast, even in this era we"re living in! Right?"

"There are a lot of things I haven"t gotten around to telling you, so we might as well catch up while waiting for you to open the clinic."

"Yeah, and you better start from the start!"

-While this one hour was pa.s.sing, Serah told Mai everything that happened to her in the last year. How she got engaged, how she got hospitalized, how she found out about being Infertil, and how her fiance broke up the engagement for that reason. She also told her how she found a young boy all injured and on the line between life and death and decided to adopt him.

-The two laughed, cried and got angry all in the spam of that one hour. They chatted about more than just that, just like they didn"t meet in ten years not one.

"You know, I was always telling you that no guy is worthy of being with you, but you wouldn"t believe me. I don"t want to offend you but I hope this situation opened your eyes a little bit."

"Yeah, it did. I learned I don"t need a man in my life, all I need now is this kid right here!"

-Serah took Rin by hand and hugged him as tightly as she coud, all the while laughing like she had no care in the world.

"I guess I didn"t properly introduce myself to you have I! My name is Mai Cartain, me and Serah went to school together from kindergarten all the way until high school. I guess you coud call us childhood friends."

"It"s super nice to meet you!"

"...Sorry for sticking my nouse in stuff I shouldn"t, but what happened with your eye?"

"Ah, this! I lost it when a monster attacked me, so I got this prosthetic one."

"I really shouldn"t meddle in other people"s business but becouse of Serah I have to. Where Exactly did you get that prosthetic? I don"t look like it but I know my craft, and I don"t recognize that model from anywhere."

"Ah, that..."

"Witch Works! That"s the group that made it, and that"s all I know about it. I don"t want to lie in front of people that mom considers friends, so there is nothing for me to hide if you have any other questions just ask!"

"No, none. And I never heard the name either, Witch works, they must be new I guess. But from what I can see they are very skilled!"

"Thanks, Rin... son!"

"Ok, ok, this is not a place for parently emotions, why did you even come here?"

"Ah yeah, I almost forgot about that. Rin"s eye, well the normal one, he lost his sight all of a sudden. So we came here to get him some gla.s.ses and a lens to cover that prosthetic one!"

"Both of the things are no problem, but I"ll need to test you to see what are the gla.s.ses you need."

-Mai took to the task and did exactly what they came here to do. It didn"t take long before she completed all the tests and took the measurements she needed. After a little bit of looking inside of the closet, she found the perfect pair of gla.s.ses he needs.

"Here you go, and as an extra a contact lens for your eye. It would be difficult to fight with gla.s.ses on and for the other thing you asked, here it is. An eye lens in the collar of your other eye, you just put this on the prosthetic and it looks just like a real eye!"

"Thank you, miss Mai."

"Yeah, the same, thx."

"No need for the thank you, you"ll be paying after all!"

"You may be my best friend, and I may love you as a sister, but I will never understand that greed for the money you have!"

"Equivalent exchange, my dear!"

-Mai took the money Serah gave her and put it in between her large bosom.

"It was nice seeing you again, But we need to be going now."

"Kk, see you later."

"I call you, so we can meet up again, okay?"-Asked Serah.

"I"ll have the phone next to me!"

-While they left the office and made their way toward the car, Rin had this funny look on his face the whole time, which Serah couldn"t resist but ask what it was about.

"What"s that look for?"

"Nothing much, just seemed to me as a few sparks were flying by while you two were talking, real chemistry!"

"WHAT... What are you talking about?"-She said all nervously and with a blushed face.

"Real sparks, yep!"
