I Am Really The Best Anti Hero In Another World!-System Of Anti Hero! novel Chapter 21

Chapter 21 - 21 - Doubts

While laughing, Sophia and her mother approached their father, who was watching Noah lying on the bed with a serious expression mixed with surprise – there were no more holes in the boy's body, and his bones... they were still there...?

"What happened, Dad...?" asked Sophia, noticing the strange look on her father's face.

"Now that I look more closely... him..."

"Him?" inquired Sophia's mother, stepping slightly away from her and moving toward her husband.

"This boy... his bones are intact."

"What? There's a whole basket outside that says exactly the opposite," said Mrs. Radiance.

"And besides," he continued, "this boy... I believe he's evolved since the last time I saw him."

"Huh? And what's wrong with that? Is he alright or not?"

Neither Mrs. Radiance nor Sophia could understand why he was so surprised and impressed; to them it was only natural—after all, if someone trains, they obviously progress, right? At least, that's what both of them had always thought.

"You don't understand? It was practically impossible for him to cultivate in that state," explained Sophia's father.

On hearing that, both Mr. Radiance and the two women looked at Noah with astonishment, confused as to what he exactly meant. Then Sophia asked,

"Impossible? But why would it be impossible for him to cultivate?"

(Sighing) — "I believe the state his body was in is proof enough, don't you think? His bones were practically leaping out of his body – until they eventually did, it seems – his muscles had twisted, and his organs were so tightly surrounded by the sharp edges of his shattered bones that one false move would have pierced his heart."

"...But I can see him breathing..." said Sophia, fearfully.
