BXBX NOVEL Chapter 137 137 Useless
The mage said the bones were torn apart, mages and knights arrived when his hands were about to be torn off, and Draco escaped.
Well, it wasn\'t an escape as he succeeded in injuring some knights before he left, Ray was taken to immediately care and that was how his hands were saved.
But he wouldn\'t be able to use them for battle, his hands could not wield a sword effectively anymore.
Leia stood there with tears in her eyes, she knew how much Ray loved fighting, but it wasn\'t over for him.
\'He\'s still a mage, he should switch and attend the mage academy to polish his magical talent\' Leia said inwardly.
...
"I think he\'s awake," Gabriel said
"Ray are you okay?" Leia asked.
"I\'m hungry," Ray said weakly.
"Right" Leia stood up and walked outside, a few seconds later she came with a full-course meal.
There were five different food on the tray she brought, Ray was already seating up and Leia place the food in his front.
A small table was placed in front of Ray, and on the table, the meal was placed, Ray attempted to pick the spoon up but his hands screamed in pain.
"Argh" Ray still tried to pick the spoon up despite the pain.
"Ray don\'t push yourself, let me help you"
Leia picked up the spoon and attempted to feed Ray, but Ray looked at her with anger In his eyes and refused to open his mouth.
"I can feed myself" Ray shouted.
"I know, but let me feed you just this once please" Leia pleaded.
"I don\'t want anyone to feed me, drop the spoon, I can feed myself" Ray tried to move his arms but he still couldn\'t.
"You are not yet hungry" Gabriel sneered.
"What!!" Ray shouted in anger.
"Gabriel what is wrong with you, why did you say that"
"Ray, I know you are angry and frustrated, but is this the end, the mages said you wouldn\'t be able to use your hands but is that the end?" Gabriel asked.
Tears started to flow uncontrollably out of Ray\'s eyes, and he lean back and rest his head on the wall.
"Instead of trying so hard, first focus on recovery before you can decide," Gabriel told him.
"The mages said you need another 1 week before you can be able to use your hands" Leia added.
"1 week, then what should I be doing within that one week, seating around and laying down," Ray said angrily.
"You can focus on recovery during that one week, for now, you shouldn\'t stress yourself, that is the best thing you can do for yourself," Leia said.
"Instead of trying so hard and risking further injuries, you should wait till you are able to move your hands then you can think of something then" Gabriel added.
"What did the mage say, I only heard a little from the senior knights last night," Ray asked.
"The mages said after recovery you would be able to use your hands but you shouldn\'t be a knight anymore, using a weapon or fighting barehanded would put too much strain on your hands" Leia explained.
"So I\'m basically useless"
"You are not useless, you are still a mage" Leia whispered.
"I\'m a mage so..."
"You can still able to cast spells, instead of using a sword which would harm your hands you can become a mage" Leia added.
"Become a mage, I\'m already a Mage"
"No, become a mage full time, attend the mage academy"
"What...why would he do that, after all the training, everything would go to waste," Gabriel said.
"Everything... his hands can\'t wield a sword again, it would be the best thing for him"
"I don\'t want to..." Ray said.
"What...why not?" Leia asked.
Ray wanted to speak but his stomach made a loud grumbling sound enough for Leia and Gabriel to hear.
"Ray you need to eat, move closer I would feed you," Leia said.
Ray grunted a little before moving closer to the edge of the bed, Leia sat on the bed close to him and picked up the spoon again.
"Arr" Leia urges Ray to open his mouth.
Ray took a deep breath before opening his mouth and accepting the food from Leia.
"Hmm...more more," Ray said as soon as he tasted the first spoon.
"I knew you were hungry, it\'s been three days already"
"W-What Three days..." Ray was shocked.
"Yes, it\'s already been three days, you didn\'t wake up at all for the first day," Leia said as she feed Ray again.
Gabriel chuckled slightly before using his hands to cover his mouth, Leia and Ray looked around wondering why he was laughing.
"Is something wrong?" Ray asked.
"No nothing..." Gabriel chuckled.
"If there is nothing wrong then why are you laughing" Ray opened his mouth as Leia continued feeding him.
"It\'s funny that Leia is feeding you" Gabriel laughed.
"How is it funny, I can\'t move my arms yet"
Leia giggled and Ray looked at her, he quickly stopped giggling and told Ray to open his mouth.
"I-It\'s not funny" Ray spoke as he ate.
\'He\'s smiling again, Gabriel is pretty brilliant\' Leia said inwardly as she stare at Ray.
She paused for a few seconds as she stare at him, Ray was really handsome and she liked him, but he already loves Lily.
Leia couldn\'t help but wonder why she liked Ray, the first time they met, she didn\'t like him, she even tried to eliminate him from the knight tournament but she ended up being eliminated.
Maybe it was the past couple of months they spent together that made her affection for him grow.
"What\'s she thinking?" Ray whispered.
Gabriel waved his hands in front of Leia\'s face but she didn\'t respond, "I don\'t know"
"Leia are you okay?" Ray asked.
"Huh! ohh I\'m fine, I was just thinking about the knight academy and all our friends" Leia lied.
"When are we leaving?"
"When you recover, but I\'m not sure you are going with us," Gabriel told him.
