Chapter 20 - 6th Year
Dark room with only slight vision available, there can be seen only one emperor size bed of ten people.
A woman with green hair can be seen soundly sleeping stark naked in arms of bare man little shorter than her, with her head placed on his chest.
"Gin, Lucy wake up. You don't want to be late for your first day of institute's sixth and last year, do you Gin?" incoming voice through the door woke up the sleeping couple.
Gin slowly opened his eyes, rubbing his eyes few times he looked down at Lucy on his chest who was also opening her eyes slowly.
'Colour has faded a lot from her hair, her wrinkles are more than tomorrow. Sigh! just one more year, then after awakening finally i will be able to cultivate again.
Then her problem won't even be a problem. That alchemist from blue flame city is definitely the problem. In institute 5 years of my herb research proves that core recreation pill defiantly doesn't need that many ingredients.
Now easy way is to create my own formula or hard way which will be too painful for her weak physique. Both is only possible after i am able to use my core energy. Nothing can be done now. Only have to wait for just year and few months according to schedule.'
After waking up Lucy saw Gin spacing out lost in thought "Gin?"
"Yes? Lucy" Gin replied subconsciously.
"What are you busy thinking about?"
Coming back to his sense he looked into Lucy's eyes and smiled slightly "I was deciding on which method to use to repair your core when i come out of trial."
