How I got an anemo vision

chapter four

a/n:
Help I'm actually making another chapter today XD

I gave up on resisting and just sat on the chair. I can't believe some people care about everything being clean that much, I thought to myself.

As I was just sitting and thinking I felt a sharp pain on my hand and squealed in pain. "WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT FOR!?" I shouted. "I'm just removing your old bandage you dumbass. Of course it would hurt. Now shut up and stay still." He said clearly annoyed now. I just sighed and tried to stay as calm as possible and ignore the pain. "I'm Zilliam by the way." I said realizing that we never really introduced ourselves. "I know' was all he responded with. "What kind of an answer is that." I said clearly annoyed at him. "Well it's just the truth." He said laughing a bit to himself. I frowned at him. "And what is your name, mister all knowing?" I asked sarcastically. "Xiao." "Well that's actually a really pretty name..." I mumbled hoping he didn't hear. "Thank you! I like my name too!" He said really proud of himself. "How did you even-" "Hear? Well it's actually called ears! You usually use them to hear stuff just like I demonstrated!" He said innocently. I just frowned at him in disbelief that he would actually say that.

In a few minutes Xiao finished changing my bandages and my body felt like brand new. "Okay all done. Go to sleep now." "But I don't feel tired anymore!" "I don't care. Go." "Ugh fine." I went to the bad and lay down. As I wrapped myself in the blanket it felt so nice. "Ok leave now I'll sleep." "No thank you!" "That wasn't a question..." He just stayed on a chair and looked at me. I saw that he was clearly not going to leave me alone so I just gave up. "Fine do whatever you want. I'll just ignore you." I said as I turned my back to him.

When I woke up the next morning he wasn't in the room anymore. Oh finally some alone time. I thought to myself. I got up and looked at myself in the mirror. The bandages were all fine. I guess my wounds were much better and I felt much better. I found my torn clothes on one of the table chairs and put them on. They looked like I had fallen down the biggest mountain ever but it's not like I had any other option so I just went out with them.

When I went out I looked around for Xiao but I couldn't find him. I decided to ask someone if they have seen him since he seemed to live there. I saw a lady on a thing that looked like a reception so I asked her. "Excuse me, do you know a boy named Xiao? If yes do you know where he is?" She looked at me a bit surprised. "Xiao you say... well yeah sure. He is most likely on the roof. Like on the highest part. If he is not there or on the terrace I can't really help you I'm afraid." "Oh okay thanks a lot!" Well that was surprisingly easy. I thought I would have to ask a lot of people. I guess I just had good luck.

As I entered the terrace I realised that there are no stairs to the roof. Not even a platform to stay on the top. "Wow this guy must be crazy to stay there. It's like instant death if you make one wrong move..." I thought to myself. Welp I better get climbing then.

This took me more time than I'd like to admit but in the end it was wirth it. I finally found him. Just laying on the roof. He looked so calm. I couldn't taer my eyes off of him. "Can you not stare?" His sudden question startled me. "I didn't know you saw me..." I said embarrassed. "Well duh. I caould hear you from a kilometer. You were so noisy climbing that roof. It sounded like you've never climbed anything else in your entire life." "Wow ok. Thanks for that." I said sarcastically. "Anyway, I have a question for you." "Shoot." "Okay so, how did you know my name? Or did you just lie about that?" He looked at me as I sat beside him on the roof. "Venti told me about a really emotional unstable crazy boy who just got his anemo vision, and who doesn't have any skills so I figured he was talking about you!" "Okay that hurt. Wait you're friends with Venti and you know who he is?" "Well duh I have an anemo vision you dumbass!" "Wait you do? How did I not notice that before..." "Well it's probably cuz you're dumb." I just looked at him with a you're not funny look. "Wait if you have an anemo vision can you teach me how to use mine!?" I asked starting to get really excited. "No. Ask someone else." He replied dryly. "Nooo I want you to teach me!" "Why me?" He raised an eyebrow. "Well cuz we were getting along so well. Plus you are gorgeous!" I said the last part as if it was obvious and to try and win him over. "Shut up." He said as he looked away for some reason. After a minute of silence he finally said something. "Fine I'll try to teach you. But if you are really bad and for real suck at everything I'll just leave you. I don't care." "Okay sounds fair to me!" I won him over. Looks like my plan worked. I guess I'll have to compliment him more often so he won't be that hard on me.

The next day Xiao woke me up at like 8 am by pushing me out of my bed and I fell on the floor. "Ouch. What the f man?" I asked as I was still half asleep. "It's time for training. Get up now! I already went and got your stuff from that monster camp so you could sleep more, but now time's up and we need to get going." As I got up and went to the bathroom to get ready, Xiao was just staying in my room staring at me. I can only guess that he got in through the window... again. "Don't just stare at me I wanna change." "Ok go on then I'm not stopping you." "Ugh you are a real pain in the ass..." "What did you say?" He looked at me with a deadly smile. "Nothing" I mumbled. "That's what I thought. Now get changed so we can go." After about 5 minutes I was ready to go. "So where are we going?" I asked him. "In the nearby forest. Just about where you almost died because of your stupidity!" He said with a grin. "Wow okay be that way if it makes you feel better about yourself." "It actually does!" He replied as he gestured me to follow him out.

When we arrived at the forest Xiao droppee all my stuff on the ground. "Okay so show me what you can do." "Well I can't really do that since there's nothing that I can really fight..." I started avoiding this since I knew he would make fun of me for the rest of my days if he saw my "cool" moves. "Okay then I'll fight you!" He said instantly knowing that I was trying to avoid that. "What no, you'll end up killing me!" I said as I saw that I can't get away that easily. "Well then you'll have to defend yourself." He said as he tossed me my sword and in a blink of an eye was gone. Suddenly I felt a sharp pain in my back. I turned around to look at him. He was really attacking me but without a weapon. I couldn't really react that fast and my attempts to defend myself were failing miserably. After I took a few more hits I somehow managed to fend of the last one. I couldn't believe that a small guy like Xiao could be that strong and fast at the same time. I was just so impressed. "Wow so it is true. What Venti said, you really do know nothing." He said laughing a bit. "Hey come on I didn't really want this vison I have no idea why I got it!" I said angrily. "So why not just give up then if you don't want this?" "JUST SHUT UP AND TEACH ME!" Suddenly his face got all serious. "So are you ready to train really hard then? Because this will be a lot of work and I won't go easy on you just because you are some depressed defenseless slob." "I AM AND STOP CALLING ME SUCH THINGS YOU DORK" "Dork? Is that the best you came up with?" He asked mockingly. "Well maybe it is. Now stop talking and start teaching me things!" "Okay mister determined. But be ready to suffer." He said as he looked at me seriously.
