After tonight, it should be about time, right? Setting down his pen and rubbing his eyes, Chiba glanced at the darkening sky beyond the window and the words on the paper. Behind him came He Yin's soft humming, and the thought could not help but cross his mind.
It had only taken nine days to recover both his legs and his Chakra. Although he had yet to determine exactly what had caused his legs to lose all feeling and prevented him from extracting bodily energy, there was no way to figure it out now. The important thing was to focus on what lay before him.
In nine days, he had gone from being unable to feel his legs at all, unable to extract even a trace of bodily energy, and unable to guarantee his own survival, to being able to walk again, having his Chakra restored, and even greatly improving both his physical strength and the amount of Chakra he possessed. This was probably the smoothest recovery he had ever experienced after being brought back from the brink of death!
Of course, this brush with death had also been the closest to actual death!
After thinking it over briefly, Chiba put down his pen and placed the finished sheets atop the stack of papers that had already piled up. That thought flashed through his mind.
He had spent the entire day writing, from morning until afternoon, without doing any rehabilitation. Now, he no longer needed rehabilitation anyway.
Even for Chiba, writing without pause all day had left him somewhat tired.
So, he decided to rest for a while before continuing.
Still, it was fortunate that he had begun preparing in advance. Otherwise, even if his legs and Chakra had recovered, he would have had no way to leave this place.
