Nadia woke up probably near 10am.
20 minutes passed, yet she was still lying on the bed.
5 minutes got away and Nadia got herself to sit up.
After another 5 minutes she lied back down.
Whole this time she was thinking how she got here and she was thinking about her family and friends too. Even tought she didn't had many friends, she missed then so much, she missed all these moments they had together.
Another 15 minutes flew by, Nadia finally managed to get up and put her shoes on.
Nadia went downstairs and what she saw, shoked her.
Nadia saw Ushina dancing on the very same talbe she ate on, last night. Nadia just stared at her, trying to process it. And when she finally did, she just laughed.
Ushina noticed Nadia just when she laughed. She wasn't so happy that Nadia saw her dance and hearing Nadia's laugh did not help.
"Ugh, shut up! And MAYBE, just maybe, i won't starve you!"
Ushina shouted and Nadia tried to stop laughing. After a minute she stopped laughing, but she still had a really big smile on.
"Sowwy, sowwy... eheh."
"And what even kinda laugh you have!? Like if someone was choking you!"
"But that is my normal laugh..."
Ushina created some bread and today's special - rice! And of course water, she put it on table she was still standing on... Maybe not standing, but levitating. Then Ushina just stared at Nadia, after a minute Ushina said.
"Eat. This is your breakfast."
"Could you frist, please, get off the table?"
"Fine."
Ushina got off table and sat in front of Nadia.
Nadia sat down and started eating. She ate in silence, only thing hearably was Nadia's breath ('cuz Ushina is a soul, she doesn't breath.).
When Nadia was done eating, she looked at Ushina.
"Soo... are there some plans for today?"
"Training."
Nadia thought for a moment.
"Hm, i remember you said before that there'll be physical training... buut you haven't told me why. So, why?"
"Wewewe, i'll say it simply, so you'll understand. If you won't have this training, you'll explode when casting powerful and complicated spells, that's it. Nothing more or less"
Nadia stared blankly and Ushina. Of course, she was procesing this new information. Ushina seeing how long it takes Nadia to understand it, decided to simplify it.
"If you won't train, you'd die when using spells. You'd be gone, does the thought of dying not scare you?... Yeah, that's what i thought."
Then, when Ushina simplyfied it, Nadia got what she was talking about.
"So what training we'll have today?"
"You will be the only one training and, if you couldn't guess, you'll have physical training. So we're going outside."
They went outside. Nadia looked at Ushina and Ushina looked back at her.
"What your looking at? 5 laps around the house."
"It's too much. I'll die on third."
"I dont really care, you agreed on training... or did you?.."
Ushina looked at Nadia that was standing next to her.
"And what do you think your doing!? Run 6 laps, now!"
Nadia jumped a little, but she started running... maybe more like jogging.
After a minute, Nadia did one lap and was, already, pretty tired.
After she did second lap around the house, she just lied down on ground. Ushina glared at her.
"Did i let you take a break!?"
"Nuh..."
"Then get up and finish!!"
"I caan't..."
Ushina come near Nadia and stared at her for a moment.
"Your weaker than i thought... i should have let you die."
"But your not gonna, right?"
"I think i will."
"Ey-yooo, no need to say such things, i'll run, i'll run!"
Suddenly, Nadia got really much of power to get up and run the other four laps.
When Nadia finished running, she was nearly dying.
"Oh-, god dammit! I didn't run in two years! (Fake dying coughs) Im gonna dieeee!"
"God, you wont d-"
"Im dyinggg!!"
Nadia was once again laying on ground. Ushina was looking at her with shock on her face, she didn't knew anyone can have such little stamina.
"In my whole career, there was no such a untalented person!"
Nadia looked at her with slightly confused expression.
"What career? I thought you died at ten..."
"I-... uhh... that's what im saying! I had no career, yet your worse than anyone in it! So your the worst!"
"Blah, blah, blah not like i care."
Nadia turned over and now was lying on her back. Nadia listened for few minutes to Ushina's babbling about how Nadia is unbelivably untalented. And how she could have just left her alone, insted of wasting her valuable time (she have whole eternity, if it wasn't enough).
Then Nadia sat on the ground and took off her hoodie. After a minute of just sitting there, Nadia looked Ushina. But she didn't look her in the eyes.
"So... tell me, Ushina. Why was there a rotten corpse, hung on a rope, behind the house?"
'Not like im depressed or anything but i wish it was me though'
Nadia thought second after.
"Probably someone commited s*icide"
"Well, y'know i can see? I'm asking, if you know the guy!"
"Nah."
There was a second od silence. Nadia's expression changed to the one like "for real?"
"You didn't even see the body."
"Welllll, you want some bread?"
"Don't try change the subject! What was his name?? Im just curious!"
Ushina created one whole bread.
"Want some?"
Nadia looked at Ushina, then at bread and again.
"Yea, sure why not."
Ushina gave her this bread and Nadia started eating it. Minute passed and Nadia already forgot about this whole rotten body thing.
Because, truth is that Ushina had few students before. But.... most of them did not make it and died before helping Ushina with scrolls. Except for the few that betrayed her and instead of helping, they went to be hunters or got to be king's knights or other sh*t like this. Even one nobel was there.
The one that Nadia saw was named Jisatso Kiyoji, he was a half blooded angel. Nadia, of course won't examine a rotting body, but if she or someone other did. They'd find a place on his back, in which should be a wing. But only one ('cuz he was a HALF blooded angel, mix of angel and some smaller, not important race). Should be, because it was not there. He couldn't move this wing, so it got ampudated. But in way more painful way than you'd have ampudated your limb today.
And yes, it was as it looked, Jisatso commited s*icide. It was not faked by anything or anyone.
"Hmm, you know what's annoying me?"
Nadia suddenly asked. Ushina looked at her with pretty confused expression. Though it was a fake confusion, it looked pretty much real.
"It's that, i have a hunter licence, but now i realized that it's useless! 'Cuz when i'll kill monsters? Probably after few months or more!"
"Yea, yea, that's bad, that's bad."
Ushina nodded and acted like she cared about it (she did not.). Then Ushina looked at her and had like "you were supposed to do something". After a litelary few seconds she remembered.
Ushina clapped her hands.
"Okay! Get up! Your doing next 10 laps around the house, then 30 sit-ups!"
Ushina gave her the easiest of easiest exercises, because she already knew that Nadia would die (litelary and not). If had to do something like "20 push-ups, 20 sit-ups, 5 chin-ups and 20 laps" or something similar
Nadia looked at Ushina.
"Naah, i'll eat you kidneys."
Nadia said it in such a "nahh" tone. Ushina then replied in similar tone.
"Nahh, y'know i don't have kidneys. Not anymore. And now get the f*ck up and run!!"
"Okay, okay, calm down little one."
"Freak, im th- hundred years old!!"
Nadia made some kinda crying noisy ("wiwiwiwiwi"), in the meaning of like "boo-hoo, cuz your gonna cry.". While wiping
not existing tears away.
Then she got up and started running, but of course, she stopped after the second lap, nearly dying from her point of view. But if think, if Nadia didn't stop after running TWO LAPS (it's much for her.), she'd probably be some imposter.
She stopped after every lap to rest a little. After few minutes, she did run all ten laps. Pretty shocking that it took her only few minutes (like 10). Back on earth it would probably take her like 20 minutes, because of air.
After she run these laps, she was once again completly out of breath. What could you expect anyway? After all... she's just a GURL.
"You still have to do 30 sit-ups."
"Waah, i swear i will eat your kidneys!"
Ushina looked at Nadia. She knew that Nadia knew that she don't have kidney and that she's dead.
"How? How you'll do it then?"
"Listen, listen closly. I will bring you back to live-... wait... no-, to-, to-.. I will bring you back to LIFE, no-not live... duh, i'm not this stupid after all, hih hih. And i will eat your kidneys, cuz you'll be alive, cuz i'll bli-, stfu, bring you back to life! And-and then you'll die again, cuz you can't live without kidneys! I guess... and i promise it to you! I WILL do it!... if i won't forgort. I mean forgot.... Which i probably will... but it doesn't matter!"
Ushina raised her eyebrows. She didn't exectly expect such a long answer. Not like she cared, you can't bring dead back to life.
"That's cool, but still you have a 'training' to do. It should be a warm up, but look at you."
"Hm."
Nadia started doing these sit-ups. When she was on like fifth, most emotions just drained from her face for no reason. She wasn't happy, so why would she smile? She just continued doing sit-ups. Actually, she did 30 really quickly, it took her like 8 minutes.
After she did the sit-ups, she just sat down on ground, looking into space. She didn't even blink for a good two minutes.
Ushina looked at her.
"20 more laps"
Nadia was still looking into space.
After like 30 seconds Nadia looked at Ushina and just nodded. She got up and started jogging. Nadia, of course, stopped after every lap for a minute of rest. She didn't say anything.
While jogging Nadia was thinking about her dreams. She had dreams of this world, but now these are like some old memories. She doesn't remember them goodly, you can even say that she remember only few moments of them. Her knowledge from dreams ended at the very basics of how to use magic.
Similary to this a week passed by and then another. In meantime she got to take her bandages off. Nothing special happened through out these 2 weeks, but that Nadia got slightly better at running.
