"What happened here?" The head nurse asked. Looking at Ray and Tim injured, she approached them both and started inspecting them.
Starting with Tim, she spoke; "Lift your shirt"
Tim complied and lifted his shirt, showing his wound to her. Seeing the wound on Tim's torso. She leaned in closer as she touched the blade.
"Hmm…Who is the healer here?" She asked.
"I am," Lifting her hand, Aliya declared and stepped forward.
"Did you try to heal him?" the head nurse lifted her head and looked at Aliya as she asked.
"Yes. I did" Aliya said,
"Then why isn't his wound healed yet?"
Listening to their conversion, Emma stepped forward and interrupted,
"I asked her to stop. I had sensed using my ability that there is a foreign energy being released into his body with the origin of the energy being the blade. Hence, when trying to heal him, the energy invades his body further and corrupts his body,"
"Good judgment kid. You did the right thing" the head nurse said. Nodding in appreciation, she continued, "The thing is that whoever hit him with this blade was a very clever person," then pointing her finger at the blade's edges she continued, "You see these edges? Well, they are filled to the brim with a higher form of energy"
"Which energy?" Sirius's voice sounded from behind.
Startled, the head nurse turned around and looked at Sirius standing right behind her. His eyes glaring her as he looked straight into her eyes. Right now, Sirius's face had an eerie look on it as his eyes took a golden tinge.
Seeing those scary eyes staring right at her. The head nurse felt as if the young man in front of her was staring right into her soul, "Uhh… Who are you?" She mustered up her courage and asked.
"Well, no one you should care for. The only thing that matters is that you answer me," Sirius said. His voice getting scarier by the second as a shadow emerged from his back.
"Ohk…" regaining her composure, the head nurse broke off the pressure she felt from Sirius and spoke, "Well, it does matter. To me the information about the energy, even its name isn't something to be shared with the public," the head nurse replied as she released a bit of her aura and countered Sirius,s prelude by emitting a pressure of her own.
Behind her, an illusion appeared. Wings formed on her back at a small eagle perched on her shoulders. Standing up, she glared at Sirius as she looked deep into his eyes.
Seeing his calm composure, the head nurse started questioning her spiritual pressure as she thought, "Is there something wrong with me? Or is he a hidden expert from the kid's family and is trying to mess up with me,"
While she questioned herself, Sirius grinned as his fighting spirit was awakened and his body started transforming. The shadow emerging from his back took form as the shadow of the wolf appeared. The wolf had reddish eyes while its body had bony spikes sticking out of it. The spikes traveled through its spine and made their way to its shoulders and then forearms as they ended when they reached its elbow.
"Please calm down. It's not the time to fight, please heal my brother and our team leader before doing anything else," 'Emma stepped forward as she spoke.
After all, right now; only she was strong enough to get close enough to both of them and actually speak.
"Okay," Both of them said as they stopped using their abilities. Sirius undid his transformation while the shadow wolf that emerged from behind him disappeared as well whereas the illusion appearing behind the head nurse also disappeared.
The head nurse turned around and put all her attention on Tim. Crouching down, she placed her hands around his wounds and closed her eyes. Activating her ability, she started sucking all the necrotic energy within the blade and used it to close off the wound. As she did that, she slowly pulled out the blade and threw it on the ground, "Now, to cleanse his internals," she muttered.
Lifting to her feet, she turned around and shouted, "Yor!!!"
Her voice traveled a good distance and reached the ears of a particular woman in the infirmary. The woman wore a red top with black jeans. Standing around 5 feet and 6 inches tall with her well-endowed figure she looked stunning in the simple dressing she wore. Due to this, she caught the eyes of many patients within the infirmary.
However, no one dared to speak a word to her as everyone knew that the woman was not your everyday nurse. Rather, she was a dangerous warrior who had taken an oath to protect the Academy when asked and only took orders from the dean.
The woman named Yor turned her head in the direction of the voice as she stopped polishing her knives and disappeared without a trace.
"What happened?" The woman suddenly appeared before the head nurse and asked. Her actions were flawless as her every step was as silent as the night itself.
"Please take him to the nutrient bath. Keep him there for some time, I will come and cleanse him once I am free from the next patient," the head nurse respectfully spoke.
"Okay," The woman said as she bent down and lifted Tim in a princess carry and disappeared without a sound.
It seemed as if nothing ever happened and if not for Tim missing from his place, everyone would have taken it for an illusion.
"Where did you send him?" Elina asked. Her expression changed as rage started to consume her. Previously, she had felt a very dangerous aura coming from the woman wearing a red top. Hence, when the woman took away her brother, she naturally felt angry.
"Don't worry. He is in safe hands. Yor only responds to the dean and is over here for the time being since we need someone to protect the infirmary in case we get attacked. After all, in case of an attack on the Academy, the infirmary would be one of the most strategic points as not only would it serve as a place for healing the soldiers continuously but the fact that most of the healers would be grouped here would make it a very important part of the battle. Hence, losing the infirmary would mean losing a good percentage of power during the scenario of a full-on attack," The head nurse clarified herself as she then moved on to Ray.
"Oh my!" Placing her hand on Ray, she sighed and asked, "What happened to him?"
"Dunno.. he fainted all of a sudden," Sirius answered flatly.
"Well, what should I say? It's a very complicated case," the head nurse spoke.
"Why? What happened to him?" Aella stepped forward as she asked in worry.
"Well, how should I say this?" She muttered as she stood up and faced the whole team. Looking at everyone, she calmly spoke,
"So here's the thing. Your friend over here has suffered from a variety of internal injuries. Varying from simple organ damage to burst blood vessels and multiple muscle tears all over his body. Also, a dozen of his bones are broken while his mana pathways are barely holding off as it seems that he overloaded his body with an immense amount of energy," The head nurse explained.
"But you can fix it, right? He can be healed, right?" Aella approached the head nurse as she asked. At this point, tears had welled up in her eyes as she was on the verge of breaking down.
"I will try my best but I can't be sure," the head nurse said.
"Why are you not sure? Aren't you the best the Academy has to offer? After all, I have heard your praises all over the academy. Heck! Even the dean praises your healing magic. Then why can't you heal him?" Aliya spoke angrily.
"See this is a very complicated case. I can't just use my magic carelessly, healing him would require a lot of precision," the head nurse glared at Aliya and retorted. She had identified Aliya and knew that she belonged to the famous 'Rose Family' who specialized in the healing element.
Also, the fact that Aliya belonged to the main ancestral lineage of the Rose family pissed her off even more. Not to mention the fact that she was the daughter of the current head of the family.
Hence, pissed off and angry at her own incompetence, she was ready to go all out on Aliya. However, Aliya surprised everyone as she backed off and showed great restraint over her emotions.
"Sirius, call the dean. She isn't telling the whole situation clearly," Aliya turned to Sirius and spoke. Her eyes shone with a cruel glint as she took her phone out and called her father. While Aliya called her father, Sirius explained the whole situation to the dean.
"What? Don't move, stay where you are. I am coming in a second," the dean spoke in shock and cut the call.
"The dean is coming," Sirius put down his phone and said.
Listening to the young man, the head nurse was bewildered, "Why would the dean make so much effort for this kid? I know that the kid is strong and a good seedling but for him to care so much about him. There is something fishy going on here," the head nurse thought.
And just as she finished her line of thought, the wind stirred up as the dean's magnificent voice sounded,
"I want this place cleared up within a minute. Only leave them be," the dean spoke as he pointed at the head nurse, Ray, and everyone else on the team.
"Okay," dozen of warriors appeared out of the air as they heeded the dean's command and started clearing the area.
