Chapter 6: The Body Remembers, but The Mind Doesn’t
Daylan walked into his room and collapsed onto the bed. His mind raced—between thoughts. He wondered how he'd come up with twenty-two gold coins in just a month and what it truly meant to be a trainee of the Honor Chivalry.
As his thoughts wandered, sleep quietly claimed him.
Barely an hour after he fell asleep, Medora arrived with his meal. She set it down in the living area and called out Daylan's name, but there was no response. Curious, she walked into his room. Seeing how carelessly he slept, a soft smile touched her lips as she turned to leave—only for Daylan to wake up just before she took a step.
"Hey, you are back." He rubbed his eyes.
"You're getting lazy, you know? You used to train all the time, but I hardly see you lift a finger lately."
Daylan gave an awkward smile. Training had already crossed his mind—he knew he wasn't on Earth anymore, and intelligence alone wouldn't be enough to survive here.
Medora gestured toward the living room, signaling Daylan to go eat his meal.
"Once you are done eating, let's have a duel," she smiled. "I want to strengthen your bones before you head for the Honor Chivalry."
Daylan paused for a moment before finally speaking.
"Sure... let's do it." Though it was a must, he would have skipped it if there were a better option.
Daylan rose to his feet and gave his body a tired scratch, still feeling the weight of sleep. They walked to the living room, Medora catching Daylan up on everything she'd been doing as a guard. Meanwhile, he sat on the floor, quietly enjoying the omelet, his cheeks slightly flushed.
