Taking the blow, I get sent tumbling backwards until I nd on my back, then moments ter Maple appears on top of me and says whilst pung me, “Where, the, hell, were, you, for, the, st, 6, months?”
tinuing the beatdown, she says, “Do you even knoorried I was, I had thought you had died.” g she says, “I thought I lost another member of my family.”
Seeing her face, I sit up and hug her then say, “I am so sorry, it is just that some unforeseeable circumstance came up and I was forced into this position. But just so you know I have missed every single one of you all this time.”
Feeling an unmistakable surge of disgust in my arms, I hear Maple say, “Yeah, right.”
“Maple the tone in which you said that makes me believe you don’t trust what I said.”
Breaking out of my grip she kicks me in the fad says, “It is because I don’t. I am willing to bet you overexerted yourself helping someone and have been in a a or something.”
“No that isn’t tru-.”
“EXACTLY,” The crowd of people behind me shout.
Turning my head, I say, “You traitors.”
Giving me a stare with eyes that even make me feel chills, she says, “So it was your own fault that we hadn’t seen you in 6 months, you bastard!”
“lease don’t go, five me.”
“If I remember correctly, didn’t you say, punishment and refo hand in hand?”
“Maple just so you know my body isn’t in the best of shape, I ’t really take any attacks from you.”
“Don’t worry I won’t be handing out the punishment.”
Feeling a hand on my shoulder, I look to see Aea and a whole bunch of people behind her. “Hey Aea what’s with that smile?”
Suddenly Aea punches me i, then says, “That feels amazing.”
Maple then decrees, “As Vilge chief I decre, every member of the vilge of Aplos gets to hit Orb as hard as they want once.” Looking down at me she says, “Don’t die Orb.”
Sweating, I say, “NO, NO, NO, NO, NO, NO!”
Putting me on my feet, Alis says, “Sorry about this Orb, but someone o teach you a lesson.”
With his full force, Alis punches me i, but moments ter he screams and says, “Why the hell is your stomach so hard!!?”
Laughing, I say, “You think I didn’t learn anything iime I was away. If I send my spirit energy to where you hit me, I will not be taking any damage.”
“Get out of the way Alis,” Buloke says as he walks up.
“So, you’re the person in lio get his first cracked.”
“Talk all you want but all I have to do is hit you in a spot where you don’t have spirit energy on.”
“Then I will simply move it to the spot yoing to hit.”
“Well the’s see whose faster.”
As Buloke sends his fist towards me, I push my seo the max; with this, I will be able to predict where he will redirect his punch. Though doing this makes the judgement attack ache even more which impairs my senses.
Any form of physical movement causes it to hurt not to mention pushing my body. With my body in the shape it is in, I would say the use of my enhanced senses is even worse than when I first started to gain them, but it will still be more than enough to react to Buloke's punch.
His punches keep ing closer and closer to my face. I got to focus; with his rea speed it wouldn’t surprise me if he could move his arm at the very st moment, so I will keep my spirit energy right in the tre of my body and move it when needed.
His fist es, closer and closer, and closer. When it is timetres away from hitting me, my mind goes crazy; no way even for him could he redirect his attaymore so I will put some of my spirit energy to my face, I joked but it is better if I don’t break his fist.
As his fist is about to hit me directly in the face, I notiething surge into his arm. It’s spirit energy!!!
Being hit directly in the face with a spirit energy infused punch I get sent flying backwards.
Getting up, I say, “Hey what the hell was that?”
“Did you really think we have all been sitting on our puts all this time? We took spirit arts lessons from the people in Gaia’s sky.”
Turning my face towards them, I give them a death stare.
Buloke then says, “Who hear wants me to punch Orb in their pce!?”
Lots of people put up their hands up, so I started to freak out. Looking towards Maple I say, “Please save me.”
Wavih a cute smile, Maple says, “Bye, bye Orb!”
Buloke then starts to punch me.
Φ Iancu beside me says, “We should stop them, Orb is tired from using Advent.”
“Don’t worry, Orb heals anyway so we should let them vent on Orb.” And besides Orb’s biggest issue isn’t the fatigue of Advent but the judgment still on his body, but since he wants to pretend it doesn’t affect him, I won’t let him use this as an excuse right now. Sucks to be you Orb.
Feeling something fluffy behind me, I turn around and say, “Suzuka why are you hiding behind me?”
“Orb said his friends would be nice, but they all seem like bullies, especially Orb’s sister. Too scary.”
Iancu says, “Sisters are scary creatures.”
Leaning against Iancu, Elia says, “Pray tell who you could be talking about?”
“The little girl who has made most females look unattractive to me.”
“Because my beauty is so great in parison?”
“No, because you have smeared yenders image for me!!!”
Pushing up against him, Elia says, “Looks like someone is g respect!”
As the two of them fight I pat Suzuka on the head and say, “If someone bullies you, I will make sure to set them abze, ok?”
With a smile, she says, “Ok.”
“Now let’s enjoy watg et his butt kicked.”
“Yeah!”
Φ “You seem to be enjoying this Buloke, I thought you had fiven me?”
“Yesterday me and Jute had a fight, so I o vent.”
“DON’T TAKE OUT YOUR RELATIONSHIP PROBLEMS ON ME!”
As Buloke's attack is about to hit me I hear a roar which causes Buloke to stop, and looking towards it, I see from another entrao the area Willow the 2nd.
Seeing me Willow the 2nd runs towards me, so I say, “e here, good boy.”
When he reaches me, I am smacked with his tail a flying into a wall.
I then hear screams around the area, then Buloke says, “We didn’t actually want you to kill him!”
A voice says, “Well Willow the 2nd was angry that he didn’t get to take a turn so who could bme him.”
Still shaken I scream, “I am fine.” If it wasn’t for my regeion and spirit energy that might have cracked open my skull.
As I try to reyself, the voice says again, “So Orb how does it feel to e back from the dead?”
Looking at whose voice it is, I see a strange man who I don’t fully reize but taking a look at his hair colour, I say, “Willow!?”
Pig me up, he says, “Exactly.”
“Wha-what the hell happeo you, you’re a lot taller now?”
Rubbing the back of his head, he says, “Well I sort of went through a bit of a growth spurt while you were gone.” Giviriumphant look Willow says, “But you still look as short as ever!”
“No look I have grown taller,” I say reag as high as I .
“You say that but then what’s with the ice beh your feet.”
“That was always there, maybe you should just be more observant.”
“Sounds like someone is full of shit, but as an adult, I will keep allowing your childish nonseo pass by Orb.”
Grabbing him, I say, “You think because you're tall your better than me!”
desdingly he says, “Hush child. Are you ky? Is it your bedtime?”
“WHAT!!!”
“WILLOW!” Maple screams.
“Yes, hon-, I mean yes chief.”
As I hide behind Willole asks him, “Why have you interrupted our punishment game?”
“Because I believe it is wrong to harm frail little children.”
“Hey!”
“Just follow along, Maple doesn’t seem to be in a charitable mood.”
“So are you defying my rule, Willow!”
“Now I am just saying that we maybe should allow Orb to expin himself better.”
Sighing, she says, “Ok then Orb e out and expin yourself.”
Using snowboost I lunge over towards everyone and grab the bow I got made from Skydust, then I run back over towards Maple and freeze the packaging open.
“Orb what is this?”
“It is a present I got for you. I missed you so much that I had to get something to show you how much I wao see you again, this is a bow the same as Atanta has.”
Holding it close, she asks, “You really did miss me?”
“Of course I did, Maple you’re just as important to me as my own blood is to my life.”
Giving me a hug, she says, “I will five you then.”
Hugging her back, I say, “Thank you very much.”
Pulling my face close, she says, “But if you ever do something like this again, I will kill you and then curse your soul to suffer iernal damnation!!” The voi which she says this makes me feel like she is possessed by a demon.
“Ok!!!”
“So Orb, what about me,” Willow asks.
“Did you really think I would fet about you? In my head is the knowledge of quite a few new flora and fauna for you.”
Giving me a hug, Willow says, “I love you Orb!!”
Hearing a minor roar, I turn around and say, “I haven’t fotten you either Willow the 2nd.”
Whistling I say, “E ON IN GIRL!”
Through the area where everyone is standing, Maple the 2nd es in and I say, “I got you a mate, a Tiritrex from Jedidiah.”
Seeing each other they ruo one another. Willow says, “I thought Tiritrex’s were extinct?”
“All of them that lived in Fimbulwinter where, but I found her in another closed-off area where she could have been, and now they won’t be alone.”
As the two of them jump around in happihe cave around us shakes, but we ig as the sight of both of them makes us filled up with happiness.
Tapping me on my back, Buloke says, “Did you get the rest of us anything?”
“Nope, bye!”
Suddenly feeling my face grabbed, I see Pine who says, “Looks like someone decided to be disrespectful today.”
Whilst she puts me in a headlock, I say, “I didn’t mean it!”
“Don’t worry I will simply squeeze it out of you. But that wait to ter, who are all those people?”
“Just a few friends I made along the way.”
“Were you guys able to aplish yoal?”
Looking at her dead in the eyes, I say, “No I failed, badly.”
Sighing, she says, “Then for now let’s all rex. I think your friends o rest, and we would like to meet them. So, let’s have a celebration for your return.”
“We ’t just randomly throarty, where will we get the resources.”
Willow says, “We have actually been st items for when we have your funeral.”
“What?”
Maple says, “We po have it on your birthday in a few weeks.”
“Did you really just kill me off?”
“Well let’s get this party started.”
“Hey, don’t just skip over this!”
“As vilge chief, I decree that everyone including all you strangers are to eat and drink your hearts out!!!”
“LISTEN TO ME!”
