Danmachi: Dragon Heart System

Chapter 37 - Unexpected

"Was this... Are those his memories?"

He knew who owns these memories, it's just that he couldn't believe it. After all, they were not blood-related nor he was his descendant.

Suddenly, he heard footsteps behind him. When he turned around, he couldn't believe what he saw.

"Hello there, Silver-kun!" a handsome man said in front of him.

"Albert Waldstein, is that you!? The Sword Champion!?" Silver couldn't believe it is the real Sword Champion.

"Albert Waldstein, indeed." Albert placed his right hand in front of his heart and bowed a little with a smile.

"Why are you here? Wait, wrong question. What am I doing here? And what is this place?" Silver asked as he felt everything in here felt real and at the same time an illusion.

"This place is called Inward Pulse."

"Inward... Pulse?" Silver felt he heard that or read that before.

"The Inward Pulse connects both the mind and the spirit of a person. This place allows one soul to become stronger by using spiritual energy." Albert only said a brief information.

"So this Inward Pulse is like a dimension between one's soul and mind?" Silver theorized even though he's not exactly sure.

"Yes, it was indeed a dimension. But do you know what is spiritual energy for?"

"Spiritual energy is an energy source that exists in all living matter, like us humans. In some old books that I have read about spiritual energy said that it is the manifestation of divine, pure love. It is considered a life force. There are different types of spiritual energy but the two most useful is Prana and Qi." Silver said what he had learned from the books and some from the internet before reincarnating here.

"Yes. You are smart for a young one." Albert nodded in satisfaction, the he asked, "Do you know how to cultivate spiritual energy?"

"It is by meditating. There are different types of meditation techniques which are: Vipassana, Zazen, Tai Chi, and Walking Meditation." Silver answered after remembering all those energies from the books and manga he read, from eastern fantasy novels to animes like History's Mightiest Disciple, Dragon Ball, and even the famous JoJo's Bizarre Adventure's Ripple, also known as Hamon.

"Yes, you are right. But it seems like you know more than that, however, I won't ask any more than that." Albert said, surprising Silver.

Before Silver could say another word, Albert spoke.

"I don't know why people tend to forget important parts in becoming stronger like cultivating spiritual energy. Nevermind that, today I will train you how to unlock your potential."

Silver started his training with Albert's guidance.

Meanwhile, Riveria and Ais are going back home. With Riveria carrying Silver on her back while Ais was carrying his Dragon Staff with its weight at least a ton.

When they reached the surface, people looked at the three of them and thought that Silver was just a weak adventurer since he was carried by Nine Hell, Riveria, along with the Sword Princess, Ais.

Once they reached the front of the Twilight Manor, they were greeted by the guards who are soon to end their shift. Of course, Riveria and Ais greeted them, though Ais only nodded.

They opened the door, Loki was seen massaging Lefiya's c.h.e.s.t with with a happy smile on her face as she was enjoying it. On the other hand, Lefiya don't like it and she's screaming at Loki to stop but the latter didn't want to stop.

When Loki heard the door opened, she saw Riveria carrying Silver on her back behind Ais.

Loki suddenly grins, she knew Riveria couldn't dodge as she saw her face as if she was holding a very heavy object. Loki lunges forward like a tiger attacking it's prey.

Riveria couldn't dodge because her legs are kind of tired as Silver was wearing weights on his body as well. So his total weight is almost 200kg by adding 150kg on his body.

As Loki got closer, Silver's hand moved unconsciously and casted an ice magic, freezing her in place. Everyone were shocked except Bete who wasn't there at that time.

-----

"Shishō(Master)! Did you just used ice magic?" Silver asked.

"Oh, that? I can't actually use ice magic but since our souls are bound together, I can use your magic as well as control your body." Albert explained.

"Um, shishō? Yo-" Silver wanted to ask but was cut off by Albert.

"Don't worry, I just freezed a goddess." Albert smiled.

"Eh?" Silver was confused and his face was like a confused Pikachu.

-----

"Ooh, Loki-sama became an ice sculpture!" Tiona happily stated.

"Tiona..." Tione sighed as she saw her sister, Tiona, poking the ice statued Loki's c.h.e.s.t.

Cracks appeared on Loki and she destroyed the ice that frozed her in. Loki aggressively broke down the ice. Tiona used run away. Tiona got away successfully! *Pokémon escape FX*

"What happened to him?" Loki asked.

"Loki-sama, he used a strong magic that he seemed to be able to use once, it drained him and he got mind down." Riveria explained.

"Oh, I see..." Loki grins and whispered at Riveria, "Place him in Lefiya's bed."

"Why?" This time, Ais is the one who asked. She heard it since she just moved to the side and Loki's voice was quite audible.

"His room is so dirty and full of Kaenseki bombs!" Loki said.

"Where are the maids?" Riveria asked.

"All of OUR maids took a day off! And now no one will clean his dirty room!" Loki argued.

"Okay."

Riveria and Ais placed Silver down on Lefiya's bed. Lefiya was not there because she was busy dodging Loki who was trying to touch the "treasures" of her Familia.

Riveria placed a wet towel on Silver's forehead as he was burning with fever.

After a few minutes, all Loki Familia members and Loki herself were eating.

-----

"Our training is done for the day, I'll pull you here inside Inward Pulse at exact 5PM. You should rest now."

"Thank you, Shishō!"

-----

After a few more minutes, all of them had gone to their room.

When Lefiya got to her room, she saw a body on her bed.

"W-w-what?" She was stuttering since she saw it was Silver who was lying on her bed.

She couldn't believe what she was seeing right now so she looked closer and she saw a towel on his forehead. She removed the towel as it became dry and she touched Silver's forehead only to feel he was burning with fever.

She got out of her room to get a bowl of water. She dipped the towel and she tried to placed it at his forehead.

Something unexpected happened. As Lefiya was about to place the damp towel on his forehead, Silver unconsciously moved his arms and was wrapped around her and pulled her into his embrace.

"Eh?! W-w-what?" She couldn't say a word and she could only scream in her head.

Lefiya tried to get away from his grasp but to no avail, she even got closer to his face. Her face was now red, red like a tomato. She couldn't say even a word.

The most unexpected thing happened. Silver turned to the side with his arm still on Lefiya's petite, small figure. Now Lefiya has a steam coming out from her head out of embarrassment and was touched by a human. The first human who touched her is the one who she looked up to.
