Juin's body was healing by itself, but he was unable to fuse his soul back to his physical body. 

"What's happening? Why can't I wake up?" Juin mumbled frustratedly after trying for the nth time to wake up. He had tried all methods he knew, but he still could not get out of his Soul Dimension. 

Pat! 

Juin looked at his left shoulder, where a little fairy was sitting and dangling its feet on. The little fairy, who with Juin's help, had created a little green leafy dress for itself out of its imagination, and had somewhat fully accepted its death. 

It sat on Juin's shoulder as the guy complained about it.

Juin was still trying to figure things out when the fairy tapped him on his cheek again. 

"Yeah?" 

"Your physical body is now stronger than before…" the fairy "said" to Juin telepathically. 

"Oh…" Juin was no longer surprised by it since the little fairy had told him before. However, he was curious about something else. "Wait, you can still feel my condition at your state?"

The fairy nodded. It then looked at its palms with a confused expression as it said, "I don't understand this either, but it's like… My healing ability is not fully gone, and I can connect with your physical body. At least, I can tell that your body's condition is way better than before."

Juin thought about it. He wondered if Hades had anything to do with it. With what he had seen from that guy, he wouldn't be surprised that Hades could actually make his body stronger. 

"If he's fully awake…" Juin shuddered at the thought. He could see why Warlock felt the need to lock Hades up. Even with his power mostly locked, Hades was able to change the physical conditions of Juin's body, not to mention the healing of Juin's soul and the strengthening of Juin's soul power. If Hades were to fully awake now and out of the shackles, Juin was sure that he would be completely overwhelmed, quickly losing the ownership of the body to Hades. 

He shivered when he thought about what would have happened to him should that case happen. 

"I have to get stronger, not just by using Lucifer's power… But by myself…" Juin thought to himself as he watched the little fairy fly around the place. "I have to distinguish myself from Lucifer and Hades, to the point that I can take ownership of this body on my own. The question is how..."

The tortoises were obviously painted on the ceiling, but they appeared to be moving ever so slightly every few seconds.

"Am I dreaming?" Juin thought to himself.

"He's awake!!!" 

The sharp, childish noise caused Juin to wince slightly, and he realized that he was now back to his physical body.

"Juin! Juin!" 

Juin looked to his left and saw Cyrus standing near his feet. 

A moment later, he heard someone pushing the door open, and he glanced over, only to see Tucker and Princess Cecile, who were both standing by the door. When they saw him looking back at them, they smiled and rushed forward to his bed.

"Hey, you stupid boy…" Tucker said with a sigh. "Do you know how worried we were?"

"Mr. Juin… Are you feeling better now?" Princess Cecile asked in a gentle voice.

"Oh," Princess Cecile realized what was wrong, and she quickly directed Cyrus to bring a glass of water. As Tucker helped Juin up and fed him the water, Princess Cecile explained, "To be parched in Atlantis is almost impossible. But to you help you heal faster, this room has been warded, and your friend is using his power to push the water out of this room." 

"F-Friend?" Juin asked in difficulty. He then looked at Tucker with a brow raised. "W-Who?" 

"Luca." 

Hearing that name, Juin frowned as he thought, "That guy tried to kill me more than once, and now he's trying to help me? Is he secretly suffering from bipolar or multiple personality disorder?" 

"Anyway, don't think too much into it. You have been out for 2 weeks."

"T-two?!" Juin's eyes widened as he gasped. He then held his throat, which hurt when he gasped earlier. "Two weeks?" he asked in a squeaky voice. He then looked at Cyrus, who nodded the confirmation. 

"How the heck did I sleep for two weeks?" Juin thought with a puzzled expression. He then looked down at his body… and realized that something was wrong. Something was terribly wrong.

He looked at his hands, which were broad and huge, and after some hesitation, he pulled the blanket that was covering the lower half of him away. When he saw the state of his body, he gasped loudly in disbelief. 

With fearful eyes, he looked at Tucker and Cecile. "Did… Did someone operate on me?" 

"No…" Tucker chuckled.

"B-But… This is not my body…" Juin said as he looked down. His legs were longer than he remembered, and his t.h.i.g.hs and calves were more muscular and toned than before as well. And his hands… He could have sworn that there were at least half a size bigger. 

If Cecile weren't here, he would have checked on his other part too, but for now, he just had to assume that even that part had grown. At least, it better be!

"You seem to have finally hit your growth spurt during your comatose state," Tucker said. "We were worried at first, but after the doctor told us that your stats were normal, even if your body wasn't, we decided not to worry too much about it. I mean, it's quite nice, right? Falling comatose as a teenage boy and waking up with the body of a young man." 

"No?! Cough!" Juin's extreme reaction caused him to cough greatly, and Tucker immediately patted him on the back. 

"Calm down… I know it's weird, but it's not like it's abnormal… in our world. Don't worry too much about it," Tucker said as he continued to pat Juin's back. 

"How am I supposed to explain this to my friends back home?" Juin asked with a frown.

"That your delayed puberty has fully caught up with you?" Tucker offered. "After all, some people do shoot up over one summer." 

"But this…" Juin looked at his legs, and he patted his stomach, which were now full of muscle, and said, "This is a little too unbelievable." 

"Hey," Tucker said with a grin, "Humans are easily tricked. How else do you think the supernatural beings last until so long?" 

Hearing Tucker's description of humans, Juin wanted to point out that he was also human, just supernatural, but in the end, he did not feel that it was worth the effort. 

He then thought about Tucker's words for a while, and after a few seconds, he agreed. Just like him from before, most humans would find it hard that supernatural beings actually existed, and as long as he said that it was a "freakish gene and hormone thing", they would most likely believe his words. 

He sighed and nodded before asking, "Did anything happen while I was out?"
