Chapter 9 The Awful Reunion

I sprinted towards him as fast as my feet could let me. I was too in that moment that I couldn't hear the warnings that my family was giving me. I leaped on to him to give him a hug.

When he looked at me I could see something sinister in his eyes. I backed away now knowing that it was too good to be true. He was one of the clones, and worst a high general.

He tried to hit me but something kept him from hurting me. He couldn't even touch me. It was like the real him was still in side and fighting against himself to keep me safe.

As for the others he had no problem hurting them. It would have been easier to fight him with the other 3 back from the supply run. I couldn't help the others with how much the clone looked like Mr. Reso.

I nearly couldn't move, and I had to watch him fight the others. They were losing badly and all I could do was sit there and watch it happen. I had to convince myself that it wasn't the real Mr. Reso.

I got up and ran towards him again. This time grabbing his cloak and ripping it off. The instant I saw the scar from the dragon I fell back down onto my knees.

This meant that he was the real deal. That also meant that the others were real too. They were just brain washed not clones.

He quickly took back the cloak and put it back on. Then he fled dropping a piece of paper. It was another letter that was marked with his name Wisk. It was a letter to me and one that he hadn't finished.

The 3 on the supply run came back the very next day. We decided not to tell Byto or Owa about what happened with Mr. Reso. We did tell Dryme about it though.

We were able to train at 75x gravity now. Dryme, my father, my uncle, and my mom are almost at their limits. Meaning that Owa, Byto, and I have to keep training to be even stronger than them.

There was no fighting between the guilds for a while. So I went on a supply run on my own. It was only a small run for some rations.

I went into the own without anybody knowing I even went. I got some rations from a store and tried to take a short cut back to the guild hall. Little did I know that the short cut I took led me right in front of the Human Hunter guild.

There were guards out in front of it. I couldn't turn back because there were some coming from behind me. That's when I saw Mr. Reso coming from the alley toward the guild.

I knew that a chance for me to get away from the guild was the way that Mr. Reso was coming from, but I had to wait for the others to stop looking at me. When I was sure that they wouldn't see me I snuck to the alley where Mr. Reso was still walking. He saw me but I wasn't worried about that.

Then he grabbed me and looked me in the eyes. He said " help me" in a struggling voice. At that point I knew that the real him was still in there somewhere.

When he let go of me he went to his guild and I went to mine. I never spoke a word to the others about anything that happened that  morning. Especially the ones that didn't know about him in the first place.

I tried thinking of ways to snap him out of the brain washing. I tried but turned up with nothing. I thought it was going to take something that we didn't have.

Owa and Byto found out about Mr. Reso the next time we fought him. They were more confused than I was when he first showed up. They stood no chance against him, neither did the rest of us.

I would have tried my body magic but my subconscious wouldn't let me do it. I was the only one who didn't fight him. I was also the only one except Dryme who wasn't severely injured.

I stayed up all night giving the others potions and treatments. Meanwhile Dryme was keeping guard. He was intent on fighting Mr. Reso again. As for me and the others it looks like we won't be fighting a battle until I'm finished healing them.

The others were more pepped up than ever. I kept apologizing to them for me not being any help. They were okay with what I did, and my uncle understood the most.

We went back to training as soon as possible. We made it to 100x gravity in no time. Dryme stopped training with us by then. I think it was because he hit his limit, but he was still a little bit stronger than the rest of us.

On their own free time Owa and Byto made up and tried out combo moves. They even tried to get me in on 1 or 2 of them. I wanted to do it but there wasn't much I could add to their moves.

Meanwhile I tried getting more acquainted with my body magic. I even tried to recreate the magic I used fighting the dragon. It was no use I couldn't make the magic if I didn't know what it even was.

I gave up on the abnormal magic and just focused on normal body magic. I even tried teaching Byto how to use it, but he was too busy checking me out to understand what I was even saying. I couldn't teach Owa how because his magic was already a type of body magic.

Eventually Byto got the hold on body magic. Which he used like it was his 2nd nature. Just an hour after he learned it he had to fight with it.
