Miracles in a Lifetime

CHAPTER 20 - Goodbye X and X Hello

Tenshi's P.O.V.

1 month later

"Amazing... you have mastered everything in just a short period of time. May I ask how?" The Chairman asked when he was done catching his breath from having a short little test if I was ready or not. When I say test, it actually meant a battle until someone surrenders. And apparently, I won.

"I have done nothing but listen to your instructions and advice." Was my only reply. Though it was true that it was all that helped me learn.

"Were you even using your full strength?" I smirked at his question and shook my head no. The Chairman widen his eyes but a smirk grew on his lips.

"How much did you use? 50%? 70%?" I shrugged and gave a sly smile.

"Don't underestimate me, Chairman Netero. It should be switched. You're the one who used 70% of your strength while I used only 20% of my strength. Better luck next time!!" The Chairman frowned at my remark but he knew I was telling the truth because he knows that I think that lying is a waste. If you lie, there will always be a day or time you will get caught so there is no use. Lying can only give you time. Nothing else.

"I wasn't using 70%.....I was using 67%." The elder muttered with a pout. I chuckled slightly.

Yup! You got that right. I chuckled. During this past month, I let out a few expressions out and took the time to get used to them and the feeling. I really felt as if I was loved and cared for with the Chairman and I found out I was. I was loved and cared for by this old stranger. And I am grateful that I have met him.

"That is still the same as 70% if you estimate it!" I stuck out my tongue as the Chairman had an even more gloomy aura around him.

The Chairman sighed and made his way over to the garden so I followed. It was filled with so many exotic and colorful flowers of many types. The grass was long and touched my knees.

A sudden gust of wind made my hair whip around and the grass swayed with it. The moon glowed down on us like it was smiling to us. The stars accompanied the lonesome moon like how I did with the Chairman.

We stayed silent, just staring at the magnificent sight until I heard a sigh.

"So this is the end..... You have learned Nen faster than anyone I've ever met or heard of. The time has come where you are able to explore." I look over at the Chairman after he said that only to see a single tear fall from his eyes. I smiled and went up to him. I smiled up to him and hugged him. He hugged me back and I can even feel his tears soak my back.

"Be safe, okay?" He asked after he wiped all his tears away. He gently placed his hand on my shoulder and gave me a warm smile which I returned.

"Yes, of course." I said and I was gone in a blink of an eye.

Of course the Chairman didn't see me because I have only disappeared to the top of the building I have been training Nen for the past month in. I was peering down at the Chairman who was still in the garden. He gave out a loud sigh and looked up at the sky.

"Goodbye, father. I'll miss you." I said ever so quietly and disappeared once again.

The sun was up and shining as I was walking around the streets. My cloak and armor was back on and everything felt so slow even though a night was the only thing that passed by.

"What should we do now, Tenshi-sama?" Ren asked a bit too sudden that I almost flinched from shock but I somehow kept my poker face. Of course, Ren didn't noticed I got scared since I seemed like I had no reaction what so ever.
