Chuunibyou In Cultivation World - Chapter 79

“Where is this?”

After Yin Yu woke up, the first scene he saw is a room full of beds with injured children on top of it. This place is sparser compared to before as more and more examinees who have been admitted to the recovery room has recovered and transferred to the temporary dorm like the other children who didn’t sustain any injuries on their body.

“Is this a hospital?” Yin Yu come to an answer after looking around this place and remember the reason he’s here. Yin Yu who has finally figured out where and why he’s here, look up on the ceiling and row of tears unexpectedly fall from his eyes.

“Did I lose?” he says that words with a weak voice. Yin Yu didn’t need anyone to tell him whether he has won or lose as he clearly remembers what happened in the fight between him and Lan Yiyan. He remembers the moment Lan Yiyan sword easily slashed the barrier he creates even when she’s under his illusion! He says to himself that he has tried his best, yet it’s because he has tried his best but still loses in the end which makes him even more vexed!

He’s angry at himself for being too weak! Vexed because he has lost! But, the thing which makes him cry is the fact that he has broken the promise between him and his mother! He has promised his mother with pride that he will win! Yet, what’s the result? He loses the final match!

So what if he can overpower weaker people? So what if he can win easily against those who are in the same realm as him? So what if he can think of a lot of tricks to defeat his opponent? In the end? He still loses!

Yin Yu who look at the ceiling admit that he did let his ego go to his head after he has arrived at this place. Yin Yu acknowledges that he has unconsciously compared himself to the other children as soon as the test start which inflated his pride as he’s more superior than them!

He realizes the trick involved in the first test? Other examinees also realize it! He kills a lot of doppelgangers in the second test? Other examinees also kill a lot of doppelgangers! He hunts food much earlier than the other which let him has a stable food supply? Other examinees also use their minds to get as many foods as they can! And in the end, when he thinks that the other examinees he fights are weak as he can win the fight against them easily? He got defeated in the stage, fair and square!

“I’m still weaklike before” Yin Yu look dispiritedly for a while before some of his memories unexpectedly flash through his mind which makes him remember the feeling of defeat he has once feel before.

Yin Yu remembers that moment as if it was just yesterday, he remembers all of the words he has said and soon, Yin Yu who feel down before, wiped off his tears which has been flowing on his face and smile before he softly said.

“How could I let this little setback make me sad? Isn’t it?”

“My convictionhow could I forget? I feel like I’m an idiot.”

Yin Yu start to giggle when he remembers all the word he has said back then, although it has only been about two years, he didn’t know why but feel that it has been a long time since that time. He has started to miss his parents again after he remembers that piece of memory. Yin Yu shook his head and slapped his face with both of his hands after he finished reminisce and said.

“Get a grip Yin Yu! Remember what Training Addict say! ‘Defeat is what makes people strong! But too much defeat also weaken the mind which results in more defeat! Which is why people need to strive for victory at any given a chance and try to learn from their defeat to gain victory in the future!’ I may get defeated this time, but I Yin Yu will win in the end!”

Yin Yu who feel better than before after he says that words start to remember why he’s here in the first place and begin to check his body condition. The wound on his body has mostly healed up, although there’s still some part that’s injured, few days rest is enough to heal it which makes Yin Yu sigh in relief. Yin Yu also check his dantian and see that there’s no problem in it as the teachers have fixed all of his problems while he’s asleep.

After a while, Yin Yu start to get up from his bed and slowly walk out of the recovery room. Yin Yu walk slowly compared to before because he’s still not fully recovered yet. Yin Yu know that his body needs a rest and that he needs to lay around for a while to heal his body. Yin Yu know that walking while he’s injured will only make his injury worsen, yet he still walks to the exit and bears the pain he felt when he’s walking. Yin Yu know that he’s injured, yet he can’t sit still and do nothing after he realizes how weak he is! It didn’t take a long time before Yin Yu go out of the room and saw the night sky.

It’s night-time now, yet there are still some people who’re still awake at this hour. Yin Yu can see that most of them are a new student like him, as their face can’t conceal their excitement upon entering this school!

Yin Yu can see some of those children battling, talking, training, meditating and the rest which makes the atmosphere more cheerful compared to the atmosphere inside the recovery room. Yin Yu can also see the gate he has seen and passes one month ago standing in front of him which let him know that they’re only at the outer layer of the school.

While looking around, Yin Yu can see a familiar girl sitting on a big rock and unconsciously approach her, while the girl turns around when she senses someone’s approaching her. Both Yin Yu and the girl faced each other and didn’t talk for a while before both of them open their mouth and say.

“Congratulation on winning the tournament!”

Time for self-inspection!

Know thyself before know thy enemies!

May this experience make him grow a little…
