The Crystal - 43 What happens when I get concussion

“Red-1? That’s a funny name,” said Zohaifa, “But does that mean there are more of the Reds.”

“I wanted more of my brothers so I chose this name. But the author didn’t agree.”

“Can you drop the author stuff? We weren’t supposed to talk about those.”

“Okay. So, let’s go out, the people of the town wants to see you.”

“No wait. I have two questions.”

“Shoot.”

“First, how are you alive again? Weren’t you shot in the heart?”

“The heart of the Cants are made in the right side of their chest.”

“But you still lost a lot of blood.”

“Gag character, remember.”

“Oh yeah.”

“Next question, please.”

“What happened when I turned unconscious?”

“I don’t know completely. Let me just tell you what happened after you left.”

“Yes, please.”

“I got up and started healing myself.”

“Why did you not tell me you had that power?”

“I knew you had the torch to defeat her. All I had to do is ignite the flame.”

“Continue then.”

“At near the end, I sensed a powerful aura from your fight.”

“Wait! So the presence I feel is actually aura?”

“I guess. I don’t know what you feel. But one can sense aura if he is a skilled user.”

“How can I sense my own aura? It is hard to guess how powerful I am compared to others. I have a rival.”

“Charge up.”

“What?”

“Hey, I am not your teacher. Do you want to hear the story or not?”

“Sorry. Please continue.”

“No more questions. Okay?”

“Okay”

“When I felt the powerful aura, I stopped healing and rushed towards the scene showing bravado. As soon as I reached there, I saw you emerging from a mountain. Your aura was completely different. It was something I never sensed before. Your aura was so huge I could not see the ceiling.”

“That’s got to be a simile, right?”

“Actually, that’s a metaphor. You created a fire and water gloves in two hands. You used it to batter her.”

“But I can only use lightning.”

“It’s the truth. I saw you using it and finishing with a gigantic plasma blast which ran straight through the town and melted the ground into a streaming long pit along it path. Any sign of her existence was wiped out. If you don’t believe me go out and check what you did to the town.”

“Damn, they will kill me. I am scared!”

“Anyway, I am curious to know your story after this wonderful incidence. Who are you? Why did you come to come to the Crazy town? And more.”

Thus, Zohaifa told him about his previous boring life, how he got his lightning powers, how he came here and about the tournament of Yellow city.

Red-1 scratched his chin and said, “If I analyze properly, with all my wisdom and experience, I can say that you may as well be the MC.”

Zohaifa’s eyes popped in amazement. “You mean to say I am the main character?”

“What? No, you are the manner-less child.”

“Oh.”

“By the way, you said you hated the previous life. What life did you seek then?”

Zohaifa felt it again. “I must’ve forgotten something important,” thought Zohaifa, “Something is being overlooked here.”
