The Demon Hunter, Wiseman's grandchild x Male oc

Recovery

Blake is seen on a shore

His shirt has been torn up showing off every scar he had including one big one across his chest which looks to be done by Dracula, as well as the lightning scar

He seemed to be subconsciously using a technique to slow down his breathing

He managed to use the last of his strength to put his sword away so it's safe

He then feels himself being picked up and carried somewhere but it's taking all his energy to stay alive right now and then he passes out

While doing that he had a flashback

Gramps: Blake the way you can keep yourself alive is by controlling your breathing, it's also a way of accessing strength you never knew you had

Blake: seriously? you can do that through breathing

Gramps: Seriously, I call it total concentration, it's how I'm able to kill things so much stronger then I am even though I'm past my prime

Blake: do you think I can learn it

Gramps: don't be ridiculous

Blake looks down: oh

Gramps smirks: I know you can

Blake chuckles: you're so annoying

Gramps ruffles his hair: and you're such a brat

Blake pouts: Alright let's get started

Gramps: sure

Throguh the next year Blake trained

He did strength, endurance, magic, eventually he managed to unlock it and then was into the next stage

Gramps: alright now it's time for total concentration constant

Blake: so using it all the time

Gramps: Uh huh so get to work

The training was even harder but it's clear there was another reason for such hard training gramps wanted to push Blake's body beyond its limits, beyond the limits of a human

Gramps: (I'm too old to defeat Dracula, but with how this kid is progressing he just might do it, will I be there too see it, or will I be his motivation too do it, who knows)

Gramps used a spell on Blake when he was sleeping if he wasn't using total concentration he'd be shocked by lightning magic

Blake considered this child abuse but gramps didn't seem to care and unfortunately it actually worked

Blake mastered the technique and became unbelievably strong he was faster, strong and felt like he could run forever without getting tired

And this was the technique he was using to keep himself alive

Then his eyes snapped open and he tried to sit up by then everything started hurting and he fell down to the bed

Blake: ugh, alright that's a no

Elderly women: I wouldn't do that right now young man

Blake: yeah no shit

Elderly women: language young man

Blake: fine..sorry just in a lot of pain

Elderly: understandable considering you fell off a cliff and the injury before that its amazing your alive

Blake then formed a fist with his left hand

Blake: well at least that's working again

Elderly women: I'll say if my grandson didn't find you when we did you be dead

Blake: well I guess I have your grandson to thank

Elderly: tch atleast your polite when it matters

Blake rolled his eyes: I'm usually polite I was just in a lot of pain

Elderly women; hmm fair enough you should be able to walk again in a few days

Blake sighed: wait I can't walk for a few days

Elderly women: that's right and in the mean time you can tell me how you got your injuries

Blake: Uhhh that's a really long and complicated story

Elderly women: tch normally young men like you would blabbering about it immediately

Blake: what's that supposed to mean?

Elderly women: many would brag about but you don't want to talk about it don't you

Blake: the reason I was injured was very personal but I failed

Elderly women: failure sounds like a good teacher

Blake: This is exactly why I hate old people

Elderly woman: and why is that?

Blake: Because you're advice is annoying,

Elderly women: but not untrue

Blake: fair enough

Elderly women: look if you want try that personal business again the best you can do is learn what you did wrong and right and try again

Blake: I didn't do anything wrong, the problem I was facing was just bigger than the current me could handle

Elderly women: then you start getting bigger and better too

Blake: I think I'm going to be this height for the rest of my life

Elderly woman: that's not what I meant

Blake: I know, but I'd be training right now if I wasn't bedridden

Elderly women: resting is just as important as training

Blake sighs: fine

Elderly woman: glad you understand

Blake: can't I just use healing magic to speed this process up

Elderly women: Absolutely not

Blake: Huh why not?

Elderly women: Because then your body won't grow stronger from it

Blake: Oh Alright then

Few days later we see blake back on his feet

Blake is stretching: Alright I feel great

Elderly woman: Well then I think it's time for my payment

Blake: Huh?

Elderly woman: I put a lot of money into fixing you up, so you are going to be helping around the house alright

Blake: ugh fine!

Elderly woman: good

And that's a wrap

These couple of chapters are going to be Blake recovering and getting stronger
