Its been 2 weeks since max started training me, in this few weeks i started to feel that my stamina has improved as well as my endurance and strength
I can now also do some of my moves better than before, although its only been 2 weeks i can already feel that i'm slowly improving
Nothing much happened this past weeks, i didn't hunt down beasts as max want me to focus in my training, at first i declined as i want to help him hunt beast down as i'm still not sure if i healed him perfectly
After eating that night at the first day of training i made max to lay down in his bed, he was startled by what i said and asked me what will i do to him and proceeded to lecture and nag me about morality and such
He also mentioned that even though menxmen relationship is normal nowadays and can have their own children by using the little technology that the empire managed to develop because apparently there is a noble family that are blessed by the gods, it is said that whoever they recognize as their lover be it an infertile woman or a guy would bear the child of that noble. Even then there still aren't that many people who do so probably because they became accustomed to womenxmen relationship but max also said that menxmen couples are also normal nowadays in the empire and you can see a few couples in the streets and establishments too
I just rolled my eyes at him and stopped him from saying anything more and just told him what i wanted to do, he felt embarrassed and its shown on how his cheeks reddened as he scratch his head apologizing for the misunderstanding and proceed to took his shirt off
He asked me if he should also take off his pants but i said no as i only need to look at his upper body since i only saw him clutching his chest area before
I put my hand in his hard chest admiring his well toned body, i focused myself in the task at hand when i saw him looking at me as i don't want him to think that anything unnecessary
Feeling his heartbeat i then proceed to use my power to revert his whole body back to its peak state, i focused myself so much so that my power would be able to cover every inch of his body, not letting a single strand of his hair or even the tiniest part uncovered
My stack of power is getting drained quickly as i tried to fix his body, 10 minutes has passed and im done with the treatment
I let myself fall at the side of the bed as i try my best to catch my breath
"Its done haaa" i spoke finally as my breath gradually get better every passing second
Max got up of the bed and examined his body
The look on his face show it all, as he looked so surprise by his full recovery
"Woow! I- how did you do it?! Ho-" max haven't able to continue his sentence when he heard xia suddenly shout in pain
Max whip his head to xia's direction and there he saw xia clutching his chest area while sweating profusely and grunting in pain
Listening to max grumbling asking him what is happening, ataraxia suddenly felt a sharp pain attacked him in his chest area, he was surprised at the sudden pain and shouted because of it
He heard max came near him as he asked what is happening, then a realization struck them both
Whenever xia use his power to heal someone, the pain that someone feel would instead be transferred to him
The pain they felt would be transferred and amplified to xia as if warning him not to use his powers sparingly after all xia is not really healing them, he just reverts them back to before but that doesn't mean that the wound would come back as reverting them back to before doesn't mean the same scene will happen when they acquired the wound
Meaning if a person acquired the wound because he accidentally sliced his hand, reverting it back before it happened doesn't mean the wound would come back after some time as the accident wouldn't happen again
Later on xia fainted because of the extreme pain he felt as max hurriedly took xia and lay him in his bed
______
Xia woked up feeling so weak, the pain he felt already vanished like it wasn't even there but the pain he felt that time is still so vivid that he would sometime think thay he is feeling it again
The door of the room suddenly opened and it revealed max holding a tray food, how did he know when he will wake up he doesn't know but ataraxia didn't care as he watch max came to his side while putting the tray of food in the table near the bed
"How are you feeling?" max asked worriedly, guilt can be seen in his face as he can't look at ataraxia
Ataraxia saw how uncomfortable and guilty max is and he can understand the reason why, he is blaming himself for what happened as even though they knew the consequences of him using powers to others although they forgot about it at that moment
"Here you should eat first" max said as he took the bowl of food and spoonfeed ataraxia
After eating, max took the tray and about to leave the room but ataraxia stopped him
"Hey max, you do know that i don't blame you right?" He asked softly that the past him would never believe he can do
"I know but-" max answered quietly that xia actually finds unbelieveable as he can't seem to believe that someone like max would be like this over something he done with his own volition
Max is kind so kind, even though he's only a stranger he took him in, he gave him shelter when he needed and took care of him in his own way that is why it's hard seeing this kind person feeling guilty just because he used his powers to him
Seeing this, ataraxia sighed and told him
"Max i did this on my own volition, i did this because i want to, you already did so many things for me and i'm so thankful for it, if something or anything that i can do to repay for all you did, i will do so. Were basically living together already and i want to be helpful in any way i can." Ataraxia said seriously while looking at max straight in the eye wanting him to know that this is not his fault
Max sighed, he can feel ataraxia's sincerity and it warmed his heart seeing that someone actually cares for him too, so he stopped feeling guilty and looked at ataraxia
"Ok then after you rest continue your training, you already sleep for 2 days now, anymore and i will punish you for tardiness" he said while smiling, xia smiled at that too and made a salute pose
"Yes sir!"
