The day for her trans.m.u.tation was finally here. These three days pa.s.sed by got Soohyun in a blink of an eye, and she was needed to go through a lot of training in that period.
Lee Soohyun could surely see how tremendously she had improved over this training, and she might be able to take out some professional a.s.sa.s.sins.
Her stamina had grown by a lot, and her strength had intensified. She had learned a lot of fighting techniques over this short period of time.
Although Lee Soohyun had grown to become somewhat confident about the entire thing, the bigger part of her was nervous, and she was anxious on whether or not she would be able to be make it perfectly through.
Only three to four more hours for the ritual, and Soohyun could feel her hands turning clammy. The process was not known to Soohyun.
As her heart beat rapidly within her chest, Soohyun touched her chest to calm down her rapid heartbeats, and she gulped.
"Everything will be fine, Lee Soohyun. Don"t get nervous; You do realize that nervousness is dangerous. It will affect you performance. You will be alright, Soohyun. You will survive," Lee Soohyun mumbled to herself.
Letting out a deep breath, Soohyun stood up and rubbed her sweaty palms upon her s.h.i.+rt. Everyone was busy trying to make the preparation for the process whilst she was trying to calm down her nerves.
"This would not work, Soohyun. Go and take a walk outside; That might make you feel better," Soohyun muttered to herself.
Staying enclosed within a room was starting to give Soohyun a headache, and probably, she might feel better if she took a walk outside.
Striding towards the door whilst trying to maintain her composure, she extended her hand towards k.n.o.b. Sooner or later, Soohyun thought that she will be throwing up due to the increasing amount of nausea.
Bile rose up her throat as she pulled the door open. She felt as if her legs would give out any second due to the growing apprehension. A strange urge to cry at that instant came over Soohyun.
Soohyun was betting her life upon this, and the percentage of her surviving was extremely low to the point it would be considered a miracle if she made out of it.
"Remove those thoughts away from your mind, Soohyun. They will just be making things worse for you. Calm down! You know you can do it!" Soohyun mumbled to herself as she walked through the hallway.
As much as Lee Soohyun tried to maintain a composed expression, it was not possible. With how her worries began to intensify, she was afraid that she would be collapsing any time.
Thoughts of backing out from this penetrated her mind, and leaning against the wall, Soohyun maintained her balance.
"Relax, Soohyun, relax! Everything will be going fine; You trained hard for this. You know that," Minnie vocalised.
It has been really long since she had last heard Minnie"s voice, and at this moment, she was in no mood to ask what had happened to Minnie to make her disappear for this long.
Lee Soohyun let out a deep breath.
"I hope so as well. This is really nerve-wracking; If I could, I would erase my mind about the entire matter."
"You will make it out alive," Minnie said, "Do not let those thoughts contaminate your mind. Be as confident as you were in the beginning."
"I wish I could be as well."
"Instead of being nervous, be determined, Soohyun. Determination and will makes people achieve things and miracle happen.
If you absolutely want to survive and want to desperately fight for it, you can make it. Do not give up in the middle no matter how hard the pain is," Minnie vocalised.
Minnie then added, "In the end of the day, the only life that should matter to you is you. Put yourself before the others, Soohyun, just like you did before. Fate chose you for this not because it want you to fail but because it knows you can do it."
Hearing those words of encouragement made a wide smile form on Soohyun"s face, and she nodded. She had no idea on what might lie in front of her, but she knew that she had to survive. No matter what happened or what she has to survive.
"Thank you, Minnie. I will survive; I will try my best to do so."
"That is the spirit! Do not let nervousness get to you. The entire process will be messing with you feelings and attack you at your sensitive point, so you need to be strong. Minhyun put his all in training you, and as for the rest of the part, you are required to put in your all," Minnie stated.
Nodding at Minnie"s words, Soohyun managed to gain back her composure, and standing up straight, she mumbled, "Fighting, Soohyun. Think about all the fun things you can do if you make out alive from it."
"Finally she managed to calm down to some extent," Minnie vocalised as she sat upon her place.
Although Minnie worked hard to quell Soohyun, nervousness could be seen upon her face, and she tapped her finger upon her Master"s table.
"Is there really no vision up until this point, Master?" Minnie questioned whilst raising one of her eyebrows.
Her Master, The Oracle, raised his head to stare towards Minnie, and he shook his head, indicating a "no".
Minnie let out a sigh at the Oracle"s words.
She was not aware of whether or not to take it as something good. Usually, before such a big event, there will be a vision. Small or big, those visions gave a hint of what to expect or how things could turn out.
"How do you think it will be going then, Master?" Minnie questioned.
"Trans.m.u.tation process is not something one can easily make out of easily, and Soohyun seems really strong at this point from most angles.
At the end, it is the mental health that matters, and despite how she acts, it is hard to guess the current strength of her mental strength," The Oracle vocalised.
