Chapter 39 He was screwed.
However, Shin just shrugged off all her attempts and walked over to the window, looking out into the beautiful landscape of the Sitri territory. "I'll be fine. Bruises are formed when blood leaks into the skin, with me conscious I'll be able to heal the bruises quickly. My sore muscles will heal by me forcing my body to generate more stem cells, it will make the muscles heal quickly as well. I should be fine within the next few hours." Shin said as he took a deep breath, wincing when the breath made a shooting pain go throughout his body.
All his plans had been shot to hell and he only had himself to blame for it. Of course, there were solutions to his problem, however, they were out of reach. For one, Ophis or Great Red, as well as anyone else with similar powers, could make him a new body. However, they have no reason to do that nor does Shin know how to get in contact with him.
If he was going to die he wasn't going to spend his time walking around on eggshells, not knowing when his heart was going to give out. If he was going to die, then he was going to make the most of the rest of the time he has left, even if it ends up shortening that time.
"Let's go. I hate hospitals and I'm sure my family is worried about me." Shin said as he turned around, ignoring his body screaming at him to sit down.
(Scene Break)
Six hours later, Shin had finally got home. It took several minutes of arguing with Sona, and then his doctor to get released from the hospital. Then it took several hours for them to get back home due to them having to take the train from the underworld to the human realm. However, one upside was that within that time, his bruises had already fully healed, and his muscles were perfectly fine. He was as good as new, well with the exception of a very unhealthy heart.
His family had been relieved to see that he was home, and fine. Apparently, Sona had told them that he was scouted by a college and that he had been there for the three days checking the campus out. It wasn't a horrible excuse, but it wasn't good either. However, with the application of magic, it was very believable.
After his parent's ambush of questions, he got to his room with Asia and explained everything that happened to him, as well as what was wrong with him. He didn't want to, however, he needed to know if Asia's sacred gear could possibly help his situation. It couldn't.
Next, he ingested some of Asia's blood, hoping that he would be able to isolate her blood type and adapt it to himself, essentially changing his blood type. Then it might be possible to get a heart transplant as Asia was A+, a common blood type. It didn't work either.
The only way he would be able to get a heart transplant is if his body was suddenly drained of every ounce of blood he had, somehow still stay alive despite that, and survive long enough to have a successful heart transplant. That simply wasn't possible for more ways than one.
He considered turning into Orochimaru and hop bodies, however, he had no idea how to do that, nor did he even want to do that. He tried healing his heart with stem cells, but that didn't work either. Over the course of two days, he tried everything he could think of, however, none of it even had the slightest hint of working. He was screwed.
So, after coming to the conclusion that he was not going to be able to get out of the situation, he decided to hell with it, and he would throw caution to the wind and continue with his plans. Everybody has to die sometime, and it wouldn't be his first time dying either.
On his way out of school ground after school, he was intent on just going to the gym and have a big leg day. If he happened to have a heart attack while deadlifting, then it'd be the gyms problem, not his. However, during class, Rias had told him to stop by the ORC. Evidently there was something important she had to tell him that he needed to know.
Walking into the ORC, he figured it had to be pretty important considering everyone was currently gathered there. Usually, it would only be Rias and Akeno, occasionally Koneko or Kiba would be there as well. However, all four of them there was not usual. At least one person was almost always on a contract or doing something else.
"What is it that you needed? Is this about what happened four days ago? If so, I'd rather just leave." Shin said, not feeling like entertaining Rias' whims at the moment. He had much better things to do.
"No, it's not about that," Rias said. Deciding to take her word for it, Shin nodded and sat next to Koneko. "I have talked with Sona, and she has agreed to let us go and get you a familiar from the familiar forest as tonight is the full moon," Rias said, confusing Shin.
He thought Rias and Sona fought over that opportunity with a dodgeball game. But now Sona was allowing them to go to the familiar forest. That didn't make any sense. As far as he knew, several of Sona's peerage members needed familiars. Why would she just give up her chance to get familiars with her servants? Unless….
Shin was now annoyed. He was going to have to have a talk with Sona. For now, however, it was unimportant. "That's great. When can we go?" Shin asked, although he already knew the answer.
"We can go now. Akeno." Rias signaled to Akeno, who then started to form the teleportation circle to the familiar forest, everyone walking over to the open space in the room where everyone would teleport to and from.
