I’m Someone Else

Quincy comforted Thomas, patting him on the shoulder as he read the young man’s mind. “Alright, don’t be so hard on yourself. Come on, give me a cigarette,” he said, extending a hand out to Thomas, seemingly not wanting to dwell too much on the topic.

At that, Thomas pulled out two Marlboro cigarettes from his pocket, put one in Quincy’s mouth, and lit it for him before taking a drag with the other one himself.

“You failed your retreat, haven’t you, Thomas?” Quincy took a puff of his cigarette and asked.

He was almost certain of this fact, for Thomas’ pulse was in complete disarray. Even if he was injured, he wouldn’t be in this state. The only explanation was that he had failed in his retreat.

Thomas nodded, admitting it directly. Now that it was just the two of them, there was no need for him to hide anything.

“Is the consequence severe?” An ominous feeling that the consequences of the failed seclusion would be severe lingered within Quincy from the moment he noticed the young man’s abnormal pulse.

“My meridians are damaged, and my energy is in disorder. In other words, my strength will be greatly diminished. I might even become no different from a defenseless woman,” Thomas explained plainly as if he were narrating a passer-by’s misfortune.

Gasp! Quincy took a sharp breath in response. His expression, too, turned beyond grim, for he knew the result was too cruel for Thomas. Wouldn’t this mean that a generation’s peerless genius had officially fallen?!

Unbeknownst to Quincy, it was fortunate that Thomas hadn’t succeeded, for the cost of a successful body toning was far more painful than failing.

Even if Thomas successfully toned up his body, he could only maintain peak strength for three days. After that, he would become an invalid due to the side effects of the body toning; he’d be immobile, having to live the rest of his life in bed.

Thomas felt rather helpless now. Not only had he failed to tone up his body, but he also suffered from the backlash of the medicine. If the six old monsters really came knocking on his door, he could only fight them to the death.
