NETYISHA'S POINT OF VIEW.
I look over the edge of the balcony and see a couple of students training.
-Still, I'm not distracted enough to forget about my deep-rooted doubts about Mage Nox's credibility in handling Camada-
"So, how is she doing?"
Waer comes up to me.
I let out a deep sigh;
"She hasn't woken up yet..."
Waer no doubt notices my troubled expression, therefore she pats my shoulder reassuringly;
"If you want, we can demand custody over her after few days"
I nod, but Waer can tell that I don't feel much better.
"If it helps matters, I've heard that despite his eccentricity and filthy nature...Mage Nox is quite meticulous when it comes to his patients" she mumbles nervously.
My eyebrows knit;
-I wonder why I'm so wary, and why I can't seem to brush off this feeling-
"If you want to go at it, then no problem!"
I look down to see a commotion erupting between some students.
A very freckled blonde girl standing face to face with a haughty looking boy, the girl glares fiercely at the boy who seems to enjoy her irked state.
-If I'm correct, I recognise her as the girl Camada brought back to life-
"Let's all just calm down" a mediator stutters as he tries to come in.
But she's is boiling with rage.
-It's funny to me how someone who literally died a few days ago could already be this energetic-
"No way Sesugh, if this fella has something to say, he can come say it to my face!" she fulminates, her fists clenched.
The fella, in question doesn't seem concerned about her anger;
"Yeah I'll say it to your face... it's YOUR fault that someone else is dead, and you should be ashamed of yourself instead of acting all high and mighty just because you've gotten something sort of a hang of your ability" he states calmly, she flushes red and instantly recoils.
The fella has triumph written all over his face when he sees her withdrawal.
-What a loser, gaslighting a young lady out of envy-
The other students look on silently for a few minutes until someone speaks up;
"Oh shut up Jakey, it's not Taki's fault at all...Camada helped her out of her own free will, and if it bothers you that Taki is so strong, then work harder yourself" he blurts;
"You really don't have more brain than earwax, to think you'd rail her up just because you're insecure that she's better than you" he adds brazenly.
The girl; Taki; looks up at her defender with grateful eyes, and it's time for Jakey to suffer humiliation to which he has no comeback from.
Throughout this whole petty argument I just witnessed, I have only one question;
-Who told any of them that Camada is dead?-
NETYISHA'S POINT OF VIEW END.
CAMADA'S POINT OF VIEW.
"With your ability, you literally have NO limits my dear" he declares cheerfully as he frets about arranging his 'instruments' on a table.
I gulp hard, as I try to make sense of the crazy looking WEAPONS he's setting down on the table, calling them 'instruments'
"I'm going to help you hone your talents to such an extent that, you can surpass everyone" he adds in excitement.
He puts on leather gloves dramatically as he picks up an instrument that I swear looks like a sickle and comes up to where I am lain helplessly.
I consider screaming, but I don't know what kind of craziness this man has, so how can I be sure that me screaming will not infuriate him even more.
-I settle for attempting to negotiate-
"Listen, sir...I think you've gotten the wrong person, I'm not who you say I am so maybe I can help you find who you're looking for if you let me go" I blurt in desperation as he inches the 'sickle' close to my neck.
He chuckles through his face mask,
"Believe me dear, this is all for your good... just imagine being able to hold the power of life in your hands-" "-Yeah, but what the hell are you planning on doing with that horrible looking thing?" I interrupt in a half-yell as I feel the blade on my skin.
He draws back and regards me briefly before throwing off his mask;
"But of course, where are my manners?, I completely forgot to inform our patient of the procedures"
-Our?; who else is with him?-
He drags a chair close to the bed and takes a seat;
"First, I'll cut off your fingers to see if your ability helps you regenerate, if successful then we'll move on to bigger body parts like your entire arm and then legs and then if all of this works, I'll experiment different killing methods to see if your ability helps you survi..."
-By now, I've stopped listening as dread has enveloped my entire being, I feel my stomach churn and I am urged to puke; without even looking carefully at this guy...I can clearly tell that he's not mentally stable, how did I end up in his hands?-
"I haven't gotten a hang of the Ability, so how do you think I can use it to heal myself?" I protest desperately as he rises;
"That's why we'll be pushing your ability to the limit...trust me, you will not allow yourself die, will you?" he blurts good-naturedly as he presses the 'sickle' to my neck, the thing morphs and clamps to my neck as some sort of restraint;
"I'm sorry, I don't need you moving around... interrupts the process you know" he asserts gleefully.
"Aren't you going to at least knock me out and give me something to cloud the pain?" I ask in trembling as he fwips out something more suited for finger-snapping from his coat pocket.
-Tears stream down now-
He giggles;
"If I do that, then what's the point anymore?"
I start to scream;
-Louder than I've ever because my life depends on it-
CAMADA'S POINT OF VIEW END.
THE HOODED ONE'S POINT OF VIEW.
I never thought the day would come that I would meet such an extraordinary person.
And eventhough he presently looks like he could give up life at any moment;
-He's somehow reached the summit, with the boulder still wrapped to his back-
I jam my hands together genuinely impressed.
"C...can you help me take this off" he struggles to let out a plea while overcome with exhaustion.
I snap my fingers and the ropes snap off thereby releasing the rock to roll down the hill with a loud sound.
"Rave, you keep giving me reasons to try to break you...so far you've managed to surpass normal human expectations each time" I muse as I watch him rolling around in pain.
"Well...do I qualify to kill Zok now?" he breaths out ruggedly, still grasping his body in agony.
I burst out into laughter;
-So, this was all in his mind after all that?-
"Do you think you can walk on your own?" I ask gently.
He frowns as he makes incredible effort to jerk up;
"What kind of stupid question is that?, Of course I can..."
He tries to stand up, but he is unable to because of obvious reasons.
His knees stressed from the physical assertion, give in whenever he tries to get up
"Oh well, guess it can't be helped" I stretch out my hand to help him up;
"Before we talk of murdering someone, why don't you regain your strength first?"

"You called Most Rev Host. Yulia?"
I mumble while bowing with a flourish.
"Yes, I have a very special mission for you..." she starts and sips from her mug.
She sighs heavily before dropping the mug on the table set before her;
"The Prime minister is seriously looking into eradicating terrorist activities in the country and the activities of the 'WE SHALL SURVIVE' group have become even more bold and striking over the year" she pauses;
"It's such a shame that beasts are no longer the only menace in present times, unfortunately the motive of 'We shall survive' also remains completely unknown which makes handling them even harder" she takes a sip from her mug.
"I've never heard of them" I say honestly.
She nods; "They've always been undercover doing dirty jobs for politicians in exchange for money... but these days they've turned berserk, they cause trouble when they want to and for no particular reason... raiding houses, robberies, fraud, rape and harassment"
She stares at me expecting me to say something;
"I see" I mumble decisively.
She acknowledges my statement and goes on;
"But what makes them so outstanding is because they have a certain weapon..." "Weapon?" I ask in alertness.
She nods warily;
"A girl called Tomato, who is rumoured to be powerful enough to have achieved the rank of 'diety' if she was in the Magedom"
I am alarmed;
-To have amounted to the rank of 'diety' means that one has solely eradicated an ANOMALY beast-
"Her Ability is also UNCATEGORISED, so I would like you to find out what it is"
I gulp hard.
Most Rev Host Yulia is just sugar coating her instruction;
-No way the Most Rev Hostess thinks I'm strong enough to beat someone equivalent to a diety-
