"Now then, tell me how your feeling, any headaches, does your body hurt anywhere?"-From know where the doctor started asking Rin all these questions witch only had him confused, he was feeling completely fine.
"No, should I?"
-He asked the doctor in response.
"Hmmm, I did speed up your body"s regenerative function after the surgery was done, but to this extent is impressive."
-Quietly listening in confusion Rin could still not understand what the doctor was saying.
"Still you shouldn"t move, I would recommend you to stay in bed and rest for another month or two, just to be on a safe side."
-While talking to him, a nurse walked quietly into the room whispering something into the doctor"s ear and interrupting them.
"Now? no, he only just woke up tell them to leave and come back another day."
"I already tried to, but they insist on talking now."

"Have they no decency, he only just woke up."
-The two seemed to be talking about something connecting the incident with Rin, all tho the doctor was against it they seemed to be persistent.
"In the end, it"s up to Rin, not us."
-letting out a sigh, doctor Jurlina turned around facing Rin once more and asked him a question.
"Do you remember what I told you earlier?"
-Looking at him, still quiet he lets out a silent "Yes", Jurlina thought that Even thou he told him he still didn"t get what he meant.
"The people I talked about earlier, the Magicians are here and they would like to have a word with you. Even when I told them to give you some time to rest, they won"t listen to me, so it"s up to you, do you want to meet them?"
-The previously confused Rin just got even more confused, when the doctor said "Magicians" the first thing that came to mind was performers dressed in black suits and top hats. Why would these people want to meet with him he asked himself, and not only that the fact that the head of the hospital could do nothing, things just became a lot more confusing.
"Magicians?"
-He asked Doctor Jurlina.
"You don"t know?"
"Should I? are they important?"
"Oh dear, this is worse then I thought, maybe you should meet with them after all, tell me one thing do you know what happened in the past five years?"
-Hearing that he a.s.sumed that while he was in the OverWorld earth must have changed, but saying he doesn"t know would mean he wasn"t here and if he tells them where he was and that he killed people not only would he be sent to a mental clinic but jail to for the murders he committed there but still lying was an option he went with.
"No..."
-Looking at him with worried eyes Jurlina asked him again.
"Then... I think meeting them and having everything explained to you would be for the best, who knows how long it will take you to get used to society right now!"
Get used to the society, everything explained, just what happened while I was in the there.
-At that moment a lot of thought and ideas came to mind like the evolution of technology, new species and even the possibility of sera and other people being able to use it.
No, if I say anything about sera I bight be seen as mentally crazy and being in a hospital of all pleases who knows what hey might do to me, I"ll just be quiet for now and go with the flow.
"Are they bad people, do they want to hurt me?"
-Putting on an innocent act and looking quite scared, It could be said Rin was a natural at acting.
"No, no, they"re a group that serves the people as well as others, all they want to do is talk with you and ask you some questions, that"s all."
-Seeing how he became scared Jurlina must have thought that he was still just a kid, after whatever happened, of course, he would be scared. He put up his voice in the hope of not scaring him and giving him the wrong idea.
"If that is all I wouldn"t mind..."
-As he was saying he stood up from the bed he was sitting and just as the world itself had shifted his head started spinning and he lost the filing in his feat, falling to the ground.
"d.a.m.n it, Now the effect kicks in, don"t worry those were the side effects that I was asking you about earlier."
-He rushes to his side, taking his hand and helping him to the bed.
"We better postpone this, your in no state to even walk..."
"Im alright, I want to meet them."
I want to know what happened, and more importantly how I"m still alive.
"...Fine...sign... sister bring the wheelchair!"
-Bringing in the wheelchair that the Doctor said, the nurse and Jurlina both grab Rin by his arms gently and carefully pulling him up from the bed and placing into the chair, Jurina also told the nurse that broth the chair to take some pain killers as well as other antibiotics just in case.
"Where are the gentleman right now?"
"I told them to wait in your office like always."
"Alright, then let"s get going, the faster this ends the more time you"ll have to recover and well you know..."
-Starting to walk, Jurlina opened the door of the the room they were in and told the nurse to push Rin, they headed to his office where the Magicians were waiting for them, not really caring for them the words that Jurlina said before where in his mind, "Maybe there"s a way to save him", that and the fact that after the condition he was in, was awful, but he still lives and one of his eyes is fixed.
All of it was weird, getting some answers could be good he thought.
"Were here, just wait here for a moment I"ll call you to come in in a minute."
-Going inside and leaving Rin and the nurse alone, silence covered the hallway.
"...nice weather we"re having, right..."
-Not knowing how to break the silence the nurse othered some nonsense that might have made things worse.
"Ok, you can come in now!"
-Relived she pushes the wheelchair Rin was sitting in towards the doors that were opened by two pretty well dressed, looking like being in his thirties.
"You must be the boy, my name is August, Im a member of the Magicians archaeology division, and you?"
-Before answering Rin was sitting there quietly looking around with his head down and hoping they don"t notice, there were four people in total that were not hospital staff, They were dressed weird but not threatening, the man calling himself August was sitting on the sofa with one man behind him and two approaching, the two were the ones that opened the door for him.
"...Rin Kanjo."
-The nurse placet him right in front of August so the two could have an eye to eye conversation.
"Rin, it"s nice to meet you, now I will ask you some questions about what happened, will you corporate and answer them?"
"I will..."
-With a smile on his face Augst started the questioning, he took out from his bag something that seemed like a piece of paper but was in fact photos.
"You were found by the River in Britan by women Three and a half weeks ago, and broth here correct?"
"Aperantlly."
-While looking at the photos he askes.
"The state you were in was a critical one, 70% of your bones were broken, one eye was what would be a.s.sumed to be pierced and the other was cut and heavily injured, you sustained heavy damage to the head and there were cuts, bruises and other injuries found on your body not to mention the whole in your chest, how did you get into that state?"
"..."
-While waiting for the answer, the man that was standing behind August pulled out what would seem to be a tablet and started looking something up.
"Seems like it"s still too hard to answer, hah, let"s move on, for now, I heard from the good Doctor that you don"t know in what kind of society we live now and even of the Magicians."
"Yes..."
"Then, where were you for the last five years and what were you doing?"
"..."
-Still keeping quiet, August thought he was going nowhere, so he decided to gamble and ask about the sword that was found next to him in the river.
"Together with you there was also a sword found, a long sword, its handle covered in bandages and its blade black, do you..."
-Before being able to even finish his question an ominous ora has filled the room, the Magicians could tell from the start that it was killing intent and that it was coming from the boy in the wheelchair.
Rin full of anger and sadness stayed standing up from his chair only to fall to the ground.
"You b.a.s.t.a.r.d, my sword where is it, where?"
-The reality of being alive and everything that has happened in the OverWorld made him forget about his precious sword Kanashimi.
"Give it to me, my Kanashimi!!!"
-His eye starting to tear up while looking angry trying to move on the ground but the pain was too great for him to fight it as he was right now, it was truly a pathetic sight. In the less his killing intent was nothing pathetic it shocks the Magicians to their core.
-Looking at him, August felt like there must be a reason why he reacted as he did, so he told one of the men who were standing next to him to grab the sword that was placed behind the sofa August was sitting on and give it to Rin.
"But sir, giving a weapon to a kid... are you sure."
"Just shut it and give it to him."
"...Sure..."
-Grabbing the sword from behind the sofa and giving it the boy graveling on the ground, Rin grabbed Kanashimi with his full force, still crying while remembering Alexander. Jrlina and the nurse grabbed him by his arms and put him back on the chair checking if he opened up some of his injuries.
-While sitting straight up in the wheelchair he did not let go of his sword nor did he stop crying, but that reaction was the most August got out from his so he felt he was on to something.
"I don"t intend to hurt you all I wish is to help you..."
-Being interrupted once again, but this time it was from one of his men, the person who started looking up something on his tablet, he gave the tablet to August in silence. Looking at it August asked Rin another question.
"Rin Kanjo, you lived in whales with your family, mother, father, no known relatives right?"
"...That"s right..."
"Well, it seems we just discovered a five-year missing case."
"A what?"
"Five years ago you and your family went missing, you disappeared just like that from your house, the police did a lot of searching but no clue about your whereabouts could be found so you were filled as missing, appearing after five years, what happened, you can trust us we just want to help you."
-Knowing that telling them the truth wasn"t going to end well Rin decided to lie, of it meant he would get out of this unpunished he would take the chance.
"We were kidnapped, they... just came all of a sudden and the next thing I remember is we were in a dark room with some other people told we would be used as slaves for them."
"And what happened to your parents?"
"They were killed because they were arguing with each other, they never acted like real parents either way."
It does make sense, the report sais that the neighbors complain about them fighting often.
"Then how did get that sword...Kanashimi was it? and how did you escape?"
"...A person..."
-Starting to get hard for him to talk, his eye started tearing once again but he continued to talk he praised Alexander to the fullest of his abilities.
"He...sob...was like a brother I never had...sob...touth me how to write...sob...and how to behave properly... he even made me a sword and...sob...thout me how to use it... he gave me a way of escaping... but in the end... sob...I couldn"t be there for him... I couldn"t...."
-Remembring his face before he died Rin couldn"t help but start crying, and the men watching felt like they did something bad, the fear from the killing intent he limited before was gone, leaving only sadness in the room.
That explains the weird situation the Doctor described happened during the operation, poor kid.
"Im sorry for your loss, even worst your without your parents now, and missing five years of school, catching up will be hard for you but with our help, you could be going to a good school and we could enroll you in a dorm, what do you say?"
"I don"t care, Whenever I thin something good happens its followed by something even worst, so I don"t care what happens from this point forward."
-Looking at him August felt nothing but sadness, he felt like he didn"t deserve what the world had given him so he decided to ask something again.
"Then what if I told you there is a possibility of bringing back that friend of yours!"
