Anime Survival - Chapter 47

In the dark underground room, James with his chest and left arm bandaged was completely sweaty while he was doing Sit-ups with his right arm, his body was covered with a very thin layer of aura that fluctuated slightly with each movement, while large drops of sweat were falling from his whole body.

“1873..1874..1875..1876..1877…”

He continued like this for a few more minutes before falling completely exhausted to the ground, at the same time he heard a noise higher up, then a few seconds later two young men slowly descended the ladder.

“Gagan, I told you not to get out of bed, you’re not completely healed yet, if you keep this up you’ll reopen your wounds.” Said Rohan with a bag on his back, which he laid in the corner before watching James completely exhausted.

“Don’t worry about me Rohan my body is stronger than that of a normal person.” Said James with a slight smile.

Suhuyanly who had also just come down the ladder looked lazily at James for a moment before ignoring him.

“Rohan, if he wants to die let him do it his way.”

When James heard this, he put his hands in front of his ears and looked provocatively at Suhuyanly.

“You little brat, what did you just say? You’re so small I can’t hear you well.”

Suhuyanly’s eyes suddenly turned red and he jumped towards James, but he was quickly stopped by Rohan.

“Rohan let go of me! Let me kill him, I’ll strangle him, I’ll gut him! Cut him into a thousand pieces!!”

“Hahaha!”

James, seeing this, even forgot about the fatigue and started laughing so hard that he rolled to the ground.

It had been two weeks since James had been helped by Rohan. After Rohan had extracted most of the bullet fragments from his wounds, he spent five days in bed before he could get up again, in the meantime he got to know the two young men.

The oldest, Rohan, was once one of the apprentices of a great doctor Ishval. After the latter’s death at the beginning of the war, he worked in makeshift hospitals for the Ishval militia for some time before joining the fight as an informer.

The second Suhuyanly was an orphan who had lost his family at the beginning of the war and had also joined the Ishval militia, he was very good at creating traps and ambushes which made him very appreciated in the ranks of the militia, he was small in stature of only about 1m59 and hated being talked about, which made James think of Edward Elric.

After calming Suhuyanly, Tohan inspected James’ wounds for a moment before exclaiming in surprise.

“How is it possible, your wounds…they’re completely healed, except for the bullet fragments that can’t be operated on completely, there’s not even any sign of infection despite the conditions under which I performed the operation.”

James didn’t interrupt Rohan as he inspected his wounds, he just waited for him to finish his inspection.

“Gagan, if I had my instruments I would have loved to study your blood and your body, but unfortunately.” Said Rohan with a sigh of disappointment, but the phrase made James want to slap him a hundred times and ask him, “Do you think I’m alien?”

Rohan then took a pair of scissors from his equipment, then slowly cut James’ bandages, revealing two red scars on his left chest and arm.

“You are now cured, but I advise you to avoid too much intense activity.”

James then stood up and did some stretching with his healed arm before looking at Rohan and bowing with sincerity.

“Thank you for everything.”

“You’re welcome, after all we couldn’t abandon a fellow countryman, but now that you’re cured what are your plans?”

James pretended to think for a moment before he said.

“I’m going to start my own militia, I’d like you and the midget to join me.”

Rohan who heard this was stunned, even Suhuyanly was speechless.

They expected James to join them or at worst said he wanted to find his family or leave the country but to think that James would invite them into his militia really surprised them.

“So you want to start a militia, it’s a very big project, but I’m sorry I’m going to have to decline your offer.” Said Rohan after he calmed down.

“Only a fool would want to join you.” Said Suhuyanly without even bothering to look at James.

James sighed in disappointment and shook his head.

“It’s unfortunate you’re not going to join me,but that’s your choice,but i can’t leave until i pay you back for your help,so i’m going to offer you my help in return,i’m very good at shooting,hand-to-hand combat,and strategizing,so let me know if there’s anything i can help you with.”
