Chapter 22 - Prodogy X volume 2 chapter 22(The calm after a long arc)

After Volt woke up, he sat up straight and started to remove the bandages on his face. He asked Ralfold "Ralfold Sensei, how long was I out?", Ralfold explained to him "You were out all through the gladiator rounds. It's currently, 7:30PM outside.", Volt took a sigh with a bummed expression on his face "I can feel that much.", Ralfold replied "Offcourse you can.". Volt's face then turned into a saddened one "So, did I do well during my match? I know I crashed out a lot. But was I....", Ralfold immediately patted Volt on the head, this came to a shock to Volt. Volt muttered with confusion "Ralfold sensei?", Ralfold explained to him with a faint smile on his face "You did good kid. Honestly, you surprised me. Not only were you focused on your fight, you were extremely calculated all through. You paced yourself right, attacked when you were supposed to attack and defended when you were supposed to play defense. Your power output was incredible, and your speed and combat skills were nothing to sneeze at.". Ralfold stood up while smiling at Volt "I'm really glad you're my student, Volt Light-Devil.", Volt suddenly started to tear up, tears filled his eyes, he tried to rub them off while sobbing "You really think I was that cool, huh?", he looked at Ralfold with a smile "Thanks sensei!", Ralfold replied "No problem.". He walked towards the door and opened it "I'll be going now...", he tossed the keys to the door at Volt, Volt caught them "Keep the keys and give it to me first thing tommorow morning. Latest time is by 7:00AM tomorrow. I'll be training you on accountability and memory now.", Ralfold explained to Volt before he waved to Volt and walked off. As soon as the door shot, Volt smiled softly as he faced down. But suddenly, he pictured Rem in his head, Volt's face turned from a smile into a face with an unreadable expression, but it seemed more like a nonchalant look than a face of just pure unreadability. Volt took a sigh, his ribs felt cold, he took a step down from the bed he was laying on, his hands were in his pockets. Volt stood for a moment, he was trying to recollect himself before he started to move to the door "Training me on accountability and memory, huh? Makes sense.", he opened up the door, walked out and closed the door. As Volt was walking through the dark hall ways that was illuminated by only a few light bulbs, he walked with his hands in his pockets, he looked forward and saw Rem, his sister, standing in the middle of the hall way with her hands palmed together. Rem had a shy look on her face as she stood there waiting for Volt, Volt's expression didn't change, he didn't even have any thoughts on her anymore. Rem spotted him and waved to him, tho she was a bit shy "Hey, Volt. I see you're doing well. You were out cold for a while, so I came by to wait for you. Ralfold sensei said you had woken up when he passed by here, so I stood here and waited. I'm really glad you're okay.". Despite all this, all Volt did was to walk past his sister without paying attention. Rem was a bit stunned, she quickly grabbed him by his elbows "Wait! Volt, I know what i did wasnt fair on your end. I was supportive of someone else who was against you, my feelings got in the way and I know that was a stupid move from me. You're my twin brother, the only family I have. I'm sorry for not taking your side. So please, let's make up.". Volt didn't say a word to her, his back was turned against her. Volt drew his elbows out of Rem's grasps "Rem, I honestly don't care anymore. Whether you're on my side supporting me or not isn't my concern anymore. If you want to be supportive of someone else, then do just that. You're the one in control of your own life, not your brother who crashes out when things don't go his way.". Rem was a little stunned and disheartened "What are you saying, Volt? I'm trying my best to apologise here.", Volt replied, his voice was cold but straight forward "Look, Rem. I'm not saying I don't care about you at all. What I'm saying is that I'm not going to be too involved with you like I used to. We are twin siblings, practically inseparable. We played together, laughed together, trained together. Hell one time I almost died for you when we were kids. I was trying my best to save you from a giant ass bear, and I was protecting you while being beat. You were to afraid to move, it wasn't until the bear got tired that you stood up and took me home for help.". Volt turned his head to her "You're my sibling, and I'll always try my best to be there for you. But I'm not going to be involved as much as I used to with you. You do what you want, and I do what I want. Now stop talking to me.", Volt walked off, Rem was still disheartened, she walked after him "Volt! Volt come back! Please, I'm sorry!", she pleaded. As Volt was walking out of the stadium competitors passage, he walked past Roy who was standing at the entrance. Roy had a slight frown on his face on seeing Volt dismiss his sister like that, Volt didn't pay him no mind, but Roy looked at Volt as he passed him bye. He clicked his tounge "Tch! Dismissing you blood sister like that because you're feeling too salty is a sick move. You creep me out, you fucking retard!". Volt paused for a moment and looked at Roy with a cold look In his blue eyes, Volt didn't say anything to him at all. Roy glared back, he wasn't going to let someone glare at him without him also showing the same violence. Volt turned forward and walked off, away from the stadium. Rem ran outside of the commentators passage "VOLT! WAIT!", she called out to her twin brother who had vanished into the night. Roy looked at how she was breathing heavily "You don't look so good, forget about him, okay?", Rem was saddened until fireworks started to illuminate the sky. Rem looked up and was stunned, she saw Roy's face illuminated smiling at her as the fireworks illuminated the night sky. Rem was stunned at how pretty Roy looked to her, her eyes widened "Uh? Roy! You look so...". Roy grabbed her by the waiste and carried Rem on his arms "That's enough of that..!", Roy said with some excitement. Rem exclaimed while blushing "Ahhh! Roy! What are you doing?!", she asked shyly as Roy held her in his hand. Roy immediately jumped into the air with Rem in his hands, he looked at her with a cheerfull smile, the fireworks illuminated the sky and his face at the same time "Let's go enjoy ourselves somewhere more fun. Okay, Rem?". Rem was stunned while blushing, she and Roy were at least a hundred feet tall into the air "AAAAAHH! SO COOOOOL!", Rem exclaimed in her head as she used her hands to cover her mouth of of shyness.
