Chapter 46: That’s It!!?
Leon stared at the plain cyan ceiling with a lost look on his face. He was currently resting in one of the many hospital rooms just like the other students, but his mind was still replaying the same fact over and over again.
Three students had died in the Dungeon.
Surprisingly, he was taking it better than he himself had expected, especially after his breakdown in the dungeon but he could attribute that to the effects of the miasma.
Whatever the case was, he still felt guilty toward those who had lost their lives in the dungeon. But it wasn’t to the level that he would break down again.
He had tried his best to save everyone. He had done everything he could possibly do. That was the only thing that mattered to him.
’Yet this guilt and sadness won’t go away. Just as Amber said, this leaves a mark that is hard to erase.’ Leon sighed.
He had to admit that Amber was one of the reasons behind his calmness. Her words still echoed in his restless mind, giving it a strange sense of soothing.
’I really should focus on the positive part. Even if I failed to save three of them, I saved the other fifty-eight including myself. Isn’t that a big achievement? Then why can’t this hyperactive mind of mine feel happy? Damn it!’
He was really frustrated and tried rolling around in the sheets, but the pain in his arm forced him to stay in one place. It had already been healed completely by the Academy’s best healers, but there was still some lingering pain.
After all, normal healing worked by speeding up the regeneration speed of the body, which went against natural laws, so it still left him in pain. Fortunately, it wouldn’t be for too long.
’It’s better to focus somewhere else. If I just stay like this, I’ll go crazy.’ Leon took a deep breath to calm his restless mind and remembered something he had ignored in the dungeon.
He sat up, and with some difficulty, got into a lotus position and closed his eyes. He spent almost an hour in that position, sensing the Essence in the atmosphere and absorbing it through the methods provided to everyone in the Academy.
