《Barrier Alice | ✔》[44]
Advertisement
It's been 2 days since then. Amy has not opened her eyes yet. Neither Mikan and Natsume too. Yusaku just sat quietly by Amy's bed, peeling off some apple. Sophie went down to the cafeteria with Mirai to buy some lunch.
"Nii-san, Amy-nee is still sleeping...when she will wake up?" Yoichi asked for who knows how many times already. And even so, he still replies kindly,
"She will wake up soon"
Yoichi nodded. And then he took out his drawing book and showed it to him.
"I draw this in class. I wanted to give this to nee-chan" he shows a drawing of all 5 of them in the flower field.
"She will definitely like it."
"She will like it?"
"Yes, really" yusaku answered. Yoichi beamed with happiness as he continues drawing the next page. This one was for Natsume- so he says.
Meanwhile Yusaku reminiscence the night Amy was brought back. She was quickly admitted to the medical center along with Natsume and Mikan. She was paled, but her face was peaceful. The doctors say that she was just sleeping due to overusing her Alice. There's wound too, but just some light one. It was quickly treated and she was admitted here.
But is it simply that? For her to faint this long...
"Amy...Amy.. are you daydreaming again?"
Amy opened her eyes.
Wait, where am I?
A hand waved in front of her. Amy started to focus her eyes on the person in front of her.
"Wait! Vice commander! What, why? Why are you here?"
A girl almost at her 30's, wearing a full suit of Platoon 8- the vice commander Haruaki Fuyu, chuckled.
"Did you forget? We're going to have lunch together. I was talking about the commander when you started to daydream. Hehe, as I thought, you like him, right" she gives a teasing smile to Amy who was gaping, like a koi fish.
"What? Why? But..."

But, you've already died...
Her gaze fixated on the one who is smiling at her. She ignored Fuyu's remark about the commander. For her, the one who is walking with her, for Fuyu to still breathing, that is of a much greater shock and concern... Fuyu is someone from her previous life.
And she is someone who has already died.
Her face turned solemn.
Yeah, this is just a dream. Damn it. Why...
Fuyu asked worriedly when she saw Amy expression changed,
"Amy? What's wrong? Why are you so sad all of a sudden?"
Amy just shooked her head and reached out to her hand. Expecting to hold a calloused hand, she instead held a hand so soft and small, as if they never held a sword or gun before.
Then, she woke up.
Amy opened her eyes and realized that she is holding her brother's hand.
No wonder it was small and soft.
She looked at yusaku who had a very sad face, and Yoichi who had a face brimming with happiness. She reaches her hand out to touch Yusaku's face. To bring his attention to reality. Yusaku who was since earlier looked down that he did not realize her sister already wake up. He keeps on clenching his fist. His face was frown. So engrossed in his thoughts until he felt a cold touch on his face.
"Amy-nee!" Yoichi shouts with excitement.
"Haha. Hey Yoi-chan. C'mere. And you, Yusaku. What's with the frown" Amy smile warmly. She lightly touches the creases form between Yusaku eyebrows and say,
"See here. Don't frown too much. I'm alright now"
Yusaku held back his tear and say,
"Thank god"
Then, an abrupt sound of the door open. Sophie and Mirai immediately rushed to Amy's bed.
"Nee-chan!!"
"Amy-nee!!"
Then they all have a warm hug. Sophie, Mirai, and Yoichi cried a lot. Even she teared up a bit. Those experiences shook her a lot more than she expected. And Amy sincerely felt sorry, for making them worried so much. She just says,

"I'm so sorry. It's alright now. It's alright..."
Meanwhile, There were few other people in front of Amy's room. They met Sophie on their way to Amy's room when Sophie suddenly run, scooping mirai while so, and barged in Amy's room. But they decided to leave quietly, to leave them with their family first.
Mikan smile and say "Let's visit her next time" in which the others agreed and they head towards Natsume's room.
Once they all settled down, a small table was pulled near the bed. They all have lunch together... well except for amy. She is waiting for her lunch prepared by the hospital.
"So... I've been sleeping for 3 days?" - amy was shocked. Never expected to sleep for 3 days straight. Sophie nodded and reply,
"Yep. Natsume is still unconscious while mikan just woke up yesterday. We asked the doctors why they use the term sleep, but apparently they say, amy-nee is really sleeping. Not in comatose state or unconscious because of internal injuries whatsoever.. Thankfully" then Yusuke continued,
"However, it is suspicious no matter how we think about it. Why did you sleep instead?"
"Hmm... this is just my assumption, but this is probably a side effect of my Alice. Maybe if I used too much, I will be forcefully induced into a deep sleep. Hmm, just like Sophie remember?"
Sophie once runs in maximum speed for a test run. But, she immediately vomits after 10 minutes and unable to walk at all for 1 hour. Yusuke also, previously, when activate his telepathy for 1 hour straight to more than 3 people during class started to overheat. If any more than that, he may have a fever.
Recalling the events, they agreed simultaneously. This is definitely side effect of overusing her Alice. Then, the door swings open, revealing a nurse carrying her lunch.
"Miss Tsuyuri. This is your lunch. The doctor will come in for checkup in 1 hour. For now, do you feel any discomfort or is there anything you required assistance?"
"Ahh, no there isn't. Thank you so much miss" amy smiled. The nurse bowed down slightly before leaving the room after setting up table for amy to have her lunch. After ensuring the door closed, yusaku continue.
"So... the sensei say that the incident has settled. When they arrived, Reo and the rest of Z members already escaped. And well the school managed to locate all of you thanks to the device, though after that it immediately broke." Sophie nodded enthusiastically, and say,
"Oh not to forget, there's explosion occurred. It was Natsume's doing. Though thankfully the fire was in control. The doctors say he will be given a long rest and will slowly recover. Other than that, hmm, I guess no one injured. And mikan is now a 1-star student."
"I see... a lot had happened then..." amy focused on her lunch, recounting all things happen.
"Amy-nee, there's something else too, isn't it?"
Amy stay quiet. Yusaku continued,
"We already know. Narumi-sensei told us that you confront 2 guys, one with silver hair and one with red hair, though, by the time he arrived, they already ran away. Amy-nee, are they the same person..?"
Amy smile. To be honest she wanted to avoid talking about it. But when does avoiding it helps to prevent them to know? She explained,
"Well, they are the same person. But there's no need for us to worry about them. They can't get to us here."
"But..."
"No but. Let's... let's not think about them for now alright? We have a festival soon, so let's enjoy ourselves"
Yusaku and Sophie are not satisfied, but Amy closed the case. She doesn't want to think, nor letting any of her siblings affected by it.
"Anyway, how's the preparation so far?"
And so they talked about the upcoming Alice festival, leaving those uncomfortable and suffocating feeling behind...

This story is about Asura, a young orphaned child, who was taught the way of the blade and has mastered the Warrior Arts at a very young age. Given a recommendation by his master, Asura ventures out to broaden his horizons and to learn magic. Follow Asura’s journey and his quest to reach Everlastinghood. Comment by the author: Looking at the chapter list, you might have noticed Volume 1 is not there. The reason is that it’s in the process of being published so I’m somewhat restricted in where and how I can post it. Edit. 18/04/2017 The first volume is now officially on sale. It is no longer possible to get the first volume for free. I am sorry but it was free for a long time and it was time for it. However if you like to support me you can find th first volume here on Amazon (getBook.at/TheEverlasting) Compared to other stories on Royal Road this one is faster paced. No artificial extensions of the story by spending forever in generic constructs, like random ranking tournaments, that don’t really matter for the overall plot. That’s the plan anyway. Volumes consist roughly of 30-35k words. Additionally: I am not a native speaker, nor have I had any formal education in the English language. I am trying very hard to improve myself. If you want to help me by proofreading my story, shoot me a PM and we’ll see if we can arrange something. Other than my thanks and fake internet points I can’t offer anything, though. Yeah, poor student here… Edit 22/06/2017 Hey the story is officially ended if i ever decide to continue it will be on another date. The ending is open for anyone to use their imagination. Thank you all for the support. I hope we could meet later in the Everlasting II. Respectfully Biako

Tales of the Legendary Scholar
They meet in the most unlikely moment and turned their life around. Freidrech newly arrived in his own nation's capital city, which is so foreign to him compared to his village's idyllic and nondiscriminatory atmosphere, after he is forced to come. Now, he is facing a royal prince and tells him to bow. This draws out one of his late father's teachings from the deepest recesses in his mind. "The blood of your great ancestors runs in your veins. Don't easily bow down to anyone, or accept suppression by any being, not even from a monarch, unless you pledge your allegiance to him. Also, giving in to oppression is directly telling the oppressor that you're easy prey and open for manipulation." He is uncertain on how to face this oppression right now. Will he bows or not? What will he do to uphold his father's words while keeping his life safe? As for the prince, Theodrech has nothing to do with Freidrech, so he wishes to let this slip, but the boy opens his mouth and proposes the most ludicrous challenge he ever heard and triggers his curiosity. "I, Freidrech Goederf Gerboud, son of the late Village Chief Louvel Gerboud of Wrilon, will challenge you, Your Highness, to a battle of riddles… If you win, I will not only bow but be your servant for the rest of my life." This amuses the prince. It is the first he met a boy of the same age who is not intimidated by the air of authority he projects. Rather, this boy challenges him. "Why are you so headstrong? In fact, bowing to me is an honor. You saw the King's noble Knights. When they saw me, they bowed," says Theodrech, testing Freidrech. "Allow me to be forward, Your Highness. For me, bowing to a monarch does not guarantee loyalty. If I were you, I rather have men who stand straight in my presence but who got my back, than bowing men who are dreaming of my death," replies Freidrech. The prince’s curiosity increases. A huge smile is seen on his face. Prince Theodrech decides to take Freidrech under his wing. Little did they know, this boy who Prince Theodrech takes in as his confidant and friend in the most ridiculous fashion is someone indispensable in his life and the one who can help him succeed the throne when he almost believes he has lost. Thus, the Tales of the Legendary Scholar begins. ------ o ------ Old Synopsis: A famous ancient adage stated, behind a successful man is a woman BUT… In these lands, the monarchs are seeking not a woman to stand behind them but the man hailed as the Legendary Scholar.
