Chapter 42: Cold.
1384 Words
I upgraded my Thought Acceleration to Advance. And now, It's increased from 50% to 75% to 100%. Essentially, It double the speed of my Thinking.
And I think! I think... I can make it work well with another Thought Process Skill.
I look at Thought at the Skill Search and my Theory worked! If there's Thought Acceleration, There must be Parallel Thought!
I look at Parallel Thought and the Information is... Enable the User to Think about Different Things at the same time. And with Thought Acceleration, It just give me an advantage over the Competition.
I grab the Parallel Thought, and immediately upgrade it to Advanced. With Normal Parallel Thought I can split my Thought into two. And with Medium, I can Split it into three. And Advanced, I can split it into Four!!!
I see a Red Dot on the Combine Skill Tab and I click it. I look over the Red Dot and I see something called Parallel Thinking Advanced.
By Combining Both Thought Acceleration and Parallel Thought. I can get Parallel Thinking. Rather than Activating both skill, I just need to activate this one skill and both effect is going to activate.
It's really nice huh...
4 Thought Process at 200% Speed. It's pretty wild. I have a theory, If I use one to track the opponent movement, I can use the other three to find the perfect counter.
And for those who are wondering how much does Parallel Thought cost, It's 25 Point as well. It's pretty Cheap for something this strong.
I look at Rushia who's sleeping on the chair. Before I realize it, Everyone already gone. Rushia is sleeping because she's waiting for me.
"Heh... You're cute girl huh..."
I muttered. I carry her and bring her back to the Dorm. I put her down on her bed and take a shower as usual. She wake up after I finish shower and take her bath.
"Hey Trevor... Can you buy me an Energy Drink?"
Rushia asked me while still sleepy. Damn... She call my name... Why am I still weak when she do that?!
I go out to the Cafeteria and Buy 2 energy drink for both of us. After that, I go back to the Dorm and see Rushia on her bed again. Her Blanket cover her whole body. I call her name gently.
"Rushia. Wake up. I've bought your Energy Drink."
I said. I put her Energy Drink on the Drawer and drink mine slowly. She wake up and her Blanket fall down. I get a nosebleed at that point.
I look away from her and I just look at the wall. My face is so tense. I can't believe what I just saw. I just saw her Naked Skin. Fortunately, I didn't really see anything since I instantly turn away and almost broke my neck.
I put my hand on my Nose and said.
"R-Rushia! W-Why are you naked?!"
I screamed. Rushia yawn and explained why.
"Lukewarm... Can you buy me some Cold Medicine? I don't feel that good after this Training..."
Hearing that, All the Nasty thought vanished and I was worried. She cover herself with blanket and fall down to her bed. I look at her with worrying look. I sat down beside her and asked her.
"Is there anything else you need? You want food or anything?"
"Yeah... If you can buy me some warm food. I will appreciate it."
She said. Okay, Food and Medicine. If I know she's Sick, I won't buy her Energy Drink. I would rather keep her asleep for the time being.
And also... I thought she's fine after training... It turns out, She's more tired than I'm... But, She do more stuff to me rather than herself...
Damn it... If only I realize that... I can keep her safe from situation like this.
"Should I call Principal Evan?"
"No... Wait, How did you know?"
She asked. I explained to her.
"Principal Evan tell me his real name. But that's not that important. Should I call him to be here with you?"
I asked. I feel like if her Father is here with her, She can feel more calm. And I want her to feel calm.
"... Yes please... Call Father for me..."
After she say that, I grab my Keycard and bolted down to the Principal Office. I don't care if my leg is tired or my body is heavy. She done so much for me and it's my time to done something to her.
After reaching the Principal Office, I knock at the door.
"Who is it?"
Principal Evan asked. I introduce myself and he let me in.
"So Trevor. What is the trouble?"
He asked. I immediately said.
"Sir... Rushia need you. She told me that she have developed a Cold from being so tired. If you have time, Please visit her. She really need you."
I said. Principal Evan immediately get worried. He look at me and said.
"Got it. Thanks for telling me that Trevor. Where are you going now?"
"I'm going to buy her Cold Medicine and Warm food. I will be back shortly."
Principal Evan nodded. I left the room and he go to our Dorm. My leg already tired. I use my Flight and ignore everyone and Go to the Pharmacy.
I get in line and waited. After my turn come, I instantly tell them what I need. They bring me the medicine and I pay for it. After buying her Medicine, I was thinking if I should go and buy the warm food she wanted.
"At time like this... I should cook her something. As a Token of Gratitude."
I fly back home and immediately get inside the room. I put my Keycard and instantly look at Rushia.
Principal Evan is there beside her watching Rushia is sleeping.
"Oh Trevor. She just fall asleep. She said if you go back, She want to eat your cooking."
Principal said. I nodded. It seems like we do have the same thought process. I give Principal her Medicine and go to the Hobby Club. At this point, It's Night time.
She requested to eat my cooking. And I will deliver... I go to the Kitchen of the Hobby Club and the first thing come to mind is a Rice Porridge.
"Crap... I don't know what to cook.... Why is Porridge is the first time that Come to mind?! Come on me... You are Intelligent. You can think something more!"
In the end, I cook her a lot of things. Chicken Soup, Chicken Breast, Veggies with Turmeric, Tea and then, I grab some generic unsweetened Yogurt.
I put everything in a Container and I ran straight back to the Dorm. While I was cooking stuff, I can hear Diablo and Verna chuckling and saying things like.
"Master really care about that Girl huh... We support you master. May your Relationship improve."
Of course, I ignore that really embarrassing comments that come from them. I arrived back at my Dorm Room and see that Rushia is waking up.
"Hm? Lukewarm? Are you done?"
She asked. I nodded. Principal Evan give me some room and I gave her my cooking. She eat it slowly.
"Hm... Thanks Trevor..."
She instantly finished her food. Both of us are blushing for some reason. I was really happy when she eat my cooking like that. Principal Evan pat Rushia head and said.
"Rushia. Daddy is going to go back to work okay? If Rushia want something. Rushia can ask Trevor. Daddy will come again to check at 10 PM."
He said. Hey, I never agreed to this! But, I will do the thing that Rushia wanted.
"Okay Daddy. Good luck on your work."
She said with a smile. Principal look at me and pat my shoulder.
"Son, Take care of her okay?"
"Eh? Son? I'm not though... But I will take care of her."
I said. Principal Evan just let out a big smile and wave at Rushia. Rushia smiled at him and go back to her usual calm look.
"Lukewarm, once again, Thanks. I want to sleep for now."
She said. I nodded. For some reason, I can't stand up. My eyes is just keep staring at her. Hoping that in the morning, She gets better.
