12 - Who did this?
A clattering sound was suddenly heard from downstairs causing Mickaila to jump up from his bed, certain that it was his sister, he got out of bed and quickly went downstairs knowing that she didn't have time to eat and was going to make some food for her. But as soon as he got out of his room, he sees the lights were all switched off, he felt somewhat confused with why his sister didn't switch on the lights when coming back home, [maybe she was too lazy to?] he thought to himself.
So instead, he switched on the lights and zoomed downstairs seeing his sister smiling at him quite surprised that he wasn't asleep at this late hour yet, "hey Mickaila, didn't I say not to wait for me?" she questioned, "No I didn't, I slept for a while myself and I just woke up" he replied with a smile of his own.
"Are you hungry?" Mickaila asked Rosalia as he walked towards the kitchen, "No, I'm fine. thanks brother" she said which shocked Mickaila since she never used the word brother and would normally say his name and with that simple word, he knows that something isn't right.
He quickly put the set of cooking equipment down from his hand and placed it back onto their original positions and walked towards his sister who was about to reach the stairs, and before she could walk up the stairs, she was quickly grabbed on the arm, "ouch!" Rosalia seethed whilst Mickaila quickly let go and was faced with a pained expression on Rosalia's face which also looked a bit pale.
[I didn't use that much strength, did I?] he questioned himself but his instincts told him that it wasn't him that was the cause, he then stared at his sister who felt a bit uncomfortable under her little brother's gaze and looked away.
"Sis, take off your coat" he demanded, Rosalia quickly faced her brother once again clutching on her coat, "Hey, what do you think your asking your big sister to do, huh?" she said furiously but Mickaila still gave a stern expression, "Just do it!" he said once again, "Or are you really hiding something from me?" he probed. And as for Rosalia who has never seen this side of Mickaila felt quite helpless to his demands and knowing how he was serious and he wouldn't let go of this matter, she sighed and took of her coat revealing some dark bruises all over her arms and from the way she had a hard time walking, he knows for certain there was more wounds.
"How did you know?" she questioned, but for Mickaila who was too focused on her bruises, he couldn't think of anything but anger fuming his body but clenched it down, "who did this?" he questioned tightening his grip to not thrust his anger at his sister and clenched his teeth to not raise his voice. Rosalia looked at Mickaila who was shaking, knowing that he was worried but also shocked to see him in such a state that she had never seen but nothing could come out of her mouth to answer his question.
Looking up into Rosalia's eyes, but she quickly looked away and shook her head, knowing that if she told him, he would do something stupid.
He sighed, from all these years he stayed with his sister, one thing that he knew for certain is that whatever his sister has been through, no matter how many pain she goes through and no matter how everyone thinks of her, she would never tell Mickaila. She always acted strong, wanting to protect her brother but now it was time for Mickaila to protect his own sister. In the past he always thought if he kept silent, he would not bring trouble to Rosalia but now he knows that even if he turned to a mouse, these trouble would still reach her.
Seeing how Rosalia still denied to answer him, he sighed and opened his inventory to grab a bottle of healing liquid, "drink this" he said handing it over to Rosalia who drank it without questioning what it was since she trusted him. After she finished the bottle, all her wounds began to disappear and her complexion looks so much better from before. "What was that, I feel so much better now" she said quite shocked which Mickaila smiled knowing that she is alright now.
"Oh yes sis, I have something to give you" he said as he gave Rosalia the red spatial ring, "this is a spatial ring, after you wear it, only you can take it off and no one else." he said which Rosalia nodded, "what does it do?" she questioned.
"Don't tell me it stores things" she said as she wore it on her left hand index finger. Mickaila gave a grin, " yep, as thought my sister is the smartest" he said.
"what, are you serious?" she questioned whilst Mickaila just nodded, "it can store up to 100 items and since I have an inventory, I don't have any use for it. So when you store things, you can go onto the system's screen and all the items you've stored would appear and simply call it out." he said whilst going into his inventory, taking the last 2 bottles of healing liquid and handing it over to Rosalia.
"Here, these are the healing liquids, and since you already drank one bottle, you should know it's effect" he said handing it over, "put it in your spatial ring so if you come across any injuries, you could heal really fast" and Rosalia nodded, " what about you?" she questioned wondering if he had any with him, "don't worry sis, I still have some with me" he answered nonchalantly. Despite the fact that he never lied to his sister, he knows that this was something he had to do or else Rosalia won't take it.
"Sis, you should also store some weapons inside the ring in case you need it for self-defence" Mickaila said.
"Anyways, I'm tired (yawn), I'm going back to bed, you should also go and clean up. You look like a mess" he said looking at his sister's clothes that was all tattered and muddy except for her coat.
"Ok, I'll do that.Oh and also Mickaila" she said looking up at his brother who stood on the staircase, "don't do anything rash" she said knowing how stubborn he is, "Don't worry sis, I'm not that stupid" he said whilst going back upstairs and headed into his room, closing his door and locking it before going back into his bed.
As soon as he heard the shower next door getting switched off and hearing little to no movement from next door, he knew for certain that his sister has fallen asleep, he then quickly opened his eyes, grabbing his jumper and headed out. As soon as he got onto the front yard, he looked back "sorry sis" he whispered and then faced forward, 'system, track down whoever did this to my sister' he commanded.
And not long later, a screen appeared in front of him, giving clear details of 5 male trainees, and suddenly an evil smirk reached his face, [Huh, let's kick some ass!]
