Exhibition [1]

"Cough...!" 

Holding my mouth, I forced myself to lie on the sofa. 

"Fucking hurts..." 

Every part of me hurt. 

".....Why do I even do this to myself?"

While it was true that I could withstand pain, it didn't mean that I was immune to it. It was uncomfortable. 

But still, 

"Ugh." 

There was something else that was taking over my mind. 

I stared at my hands. 

They were both trembling. 

"Haa... Haa..." 

My breathing was quick as well. The back of my hair stood, and from time to time, I'd look behind me to check if someone was there. 

That alone felt more annoying than the pain I was experiencing. 

There was a reason why I tended to not use the first leaf. The side effects of using such a skill were not something I looked forward to. 

"...Damn it." 

It was an annoying feeling. 

And yet, I knew that I couldn't do without it.
