As I slowly opens my eyes with some slight headache, what awaited me was an unfamiliar ceiling, "Ahh," I said in pain as I rubbed my temples.
"Where am I?" I said, looking around the room, it was a luxurious suite, large bed, marble floor, tall walls and all that making me feel that I have entered some noble's home.
"I was in my room, and then... Then what?" I muttered to myself. The last thing I remember was sitting in a corner of my room before I felt sleepy, "Did I fall asleep?" I asked myself.
So how am I here? I thought as the door suddenly opened as Harry entered, "You up," he said as a smile appeared on his face as he come and sit beside me.
"So how are you now?" He asked as he rang a bell which was on the table beside me, what's he doing?
"I don't know," I said as I closed my eyes, I feel better but I am still hungry tho, did I pass out in my room? That was dangerous.
Suddenly, the door opener once again as a maid appeared, with a tray as she set up a table and a bowl of vegitable soup beside me as just looking at me make my stomach growl with hunger.
"Relax, you can take it slow, you have been hungry for a while so it's not good to eat something so quickly. Although you can't feel it right now due to the effect of healing magic, your condition currently is not so great."
His voice was calm and kind, for some reason, it kind of unsettling me since it was the first time I was seeing his calm side instead of battle hungry one but I let it slide.
Slowly, my hand made its way towards the soup as I picked up the spoon and took a small sip of the soup.
It was warm and tasted way better than I expected probably due to how hungry I was . The veggies were soft and the flavor felt gentle... Work of a world class chef for sure.
A privilege of being rich I guess. Now that I think about it, Harry is a noble too i think, he is different from other tho, for sure.
Thinking so, I kept eating, one spoon after another. At first, I tried to go slow like he said, but at some point, I couldn't help it. I was so hungry that soon I started eating faster.
Harry just watched me, smiling the whole time. He didn't say anything, just kept looking at me with a smile pastered on his face as I tried not to look at him, he was unsettling for sure.
After a while, I finished the whole bowl. I felt a bit embarrassed because I almost licked it clean but I then shook my head and finally looked up at Harry, as he chuckled a bit.
"Feeling better now?" he asked as I nodded. I didn't really know what to say, but my body finally felt warm and alive again.
"Here drink then, it is a water enchanted with heal, it will help you digest food faster, speeding up your recovery a bit." He said, handing me a water bottle.
It must me enchanted with some water magic spell for sure, they sure are best for support... I thought as ai drank that water, feeling myself recovering a bit.
"Now then," he said with a smile, "Follow me," He said as he stood up with a smile as I looked at him, feeling uneasy for some reason.
"Um, what?" I asked as he looked down at me before he started walking, "I said, follow me." He said.
I have a bad feeling about it.
.
.
.
And indeed I was right.
"H-hey, stop, I haven't recovered completely yet!!" I said as I blocked a slash coming towards my neck.
"Doesn't matter!" He said, stepping back and thrusting the sword at my neck as I somehow parry that.
I know he was stronger than me for a long time but Harry always held back whenever we sparred but today, it seems he has no such intention.
Of course he still isn't giving his 100%, or I would have died for sure, but I still feel I would die today if I replaxed even for a bit, there was no breather time today unlike our other spars.
"That was dangerous," I said, somehow dodging another vertical slash, "Oh really, you think your opponent will go easy on you in a real fight." Harry said, landing a few feets away from me.
"Look pal, I don't know your master, nor how he died, neither do I care about that. But I am sure, he or she will definitely not want you to die of a shut in life." He said, looking at his blade and nods as if appreciating something.
"The world is dangerous, and you are now, you won't survive what's coming. I just want to help you, so I would very much like you to appreciate this help and come at me with everything you have got."
"And why do you want to help me?" I asked, raising an eyebrow as I corrected my stance, "Who knows? Even I don't know, that's the first time I have felt this, a wish to help someone, genuinely... You just seems familiar."
Saying so, he took a stance, as his mana started moving in a way I was familiar with as I watch it with my elemental eye, "You know, Harry isn't my real name Wanna know what it is?." He said as his mana started to surge.
"Sea Sword Art, 6th Form: Fury of the Sea:- Tsunami." He muttered as he rushed at me.
The moment he moved, it felt like the air around us changed as his mana spread everywhere around us, covering me from every side as if I am standing in the centre of an ocean during a storm.
I watched as water-like waves of energy wrapped around his sword. It wasn't real water, but it looked and felt so real that I almost heard the sound of waves smashing against rocks.
Then, he stepped forward, just one step, but even that was enough as a huge wave of energy exploded forward, rushing at me like a giant tsunami.
It wasn't just one single slash but like a hundred or hundreds of gaint tsunami like strikes hidden inside that one simple move, all aiming to crush under the sheer pressure of the move.
My body froze for a second from the pressure alone as he made its way towards me, the ground under his feet cracked as if under the weight of tons of water, enough to destroy cities.
It felt like a sea itself was coming straight at me, mouth wide open, ready to swallow me whole.
I tightened my grip on my sword and took a deep breath. A single thought went through my mind, If I didn't do something now, I would really die.
Then, only one move went through my mind, something which could save me... Mimic.
