what happened next was a blur.

one of the outer disciples called others to help junior brother onto a makeshift stretcher. they brought him to an infirmary. i followed behind them, my face a pale white.

he's not going to die, is he?

people bustled and hustled around junior brother's figure. they all had worried looks on their faces as they prodded him with different things.

i just watched, my mind blank.

............

i blamed myself for what happened. i shouldn't have acted like a dumb*ss and had helped junior brother from the start.

my sister would have been disappointed in me.

i felt a crushing despair in my heart.

i'm sorry, junior brother.

...........

i don't know how long ago it was.

somehow, i was sitting right next to junior brother, and i had my wound dressed in white bandages.

it was already night and moonlight filtered through the window to the right of junior brother's bed. looking around, i noticed that nobody was there.

the room was large and had multiple partitions for each bed. junior brother was the only patient in the room, however.

i looked back at junior brother and noticed that he was banged up pretty badly. bandages covered almost everything, and bruises covered the rest.

i needed to get stronger.

i held that resolution within me. that's it. i'm not going to be some weakling anymore. i'm going to learn how my cultivation technique works. but more importantly, i'm going to learn how to cultivate.

i looked back at junior brother. it's shameful that my junior brother is stronger than me-
