Ben's mini dimension. Ben had made the cure for the drug with Chris's help, he mixed the cure into a bottle of saline solution and injected it slowly into Sky's body through an infusion tube.
"Seriously, why would he even choose to drink that drugged drink? With the relatively low concentration of that drug in his blood, l am pretty sure that he was aware that his drink was drugged." said Ben as he continues to adjust the flow of the infusion.
"True, he might be an idiot, but he is not stupid, I wonder about that too... Hmm... The usage of this medicine really needs an almost perfect perception huh?" said Chris.
"Indeed, this medicine needs to be slowly infused to the patient's blood system in a fixed time range, amount, and concentration, any deviation will greatly reduce its effectiveness. This is something most healers would not understand or pay attention to, they seriously... Tsk... Never mind." said Ben, who is obviously getting irritated by something but chooses to keep it for himself.
"Uhm... If you're actually having something to rant about, just go ahead, this infusion will take quite a long time to finish dripping." said Chris. Ben stared at Chris for a while and sighed before started his ranting.
"It's a shame that how most of the healers especially the new generation had become too dependant on healing magic, and some of them even totally forsaken the basic medical knowledge and usage of drugs and herbs, which can be quite bad. You certainly know that even if I choose to fully depend on my healing magic, I am still better than most of them, right? The reason I don't want to do that is that some of the conditions cannot be totally healed by just healing magic, yes, it might look healed but in fact, the overall body condition of the patient is depriving. Furthermore, there are some special cases like you who are resistant to healing magic." said Ben in a fast and irritated tone.
Chris nodded without saying anything.
"Moreover, they are too underestimating the variation of poison and venom that existed, they thought that their magic is sufficient enough to cleanse almost every type of the poison and venom, but in fact it only effective to common poison and venom that had been recorded in common books. And that is not including Gu worm and parasitic critters that commonly been used by skilled poison users. Believe it or not, if I sneak some of my weak Gu worms to any random team, their healers would not even be able to find out about the problems needless to say heal it." Ben ranted again which caused Chris to laughed out a bit.
"Well, for those who can't even detect your emetics and laxative, I don't think they even know anything about Gu worms." said Chris, a bit teasing.
"Ah... Did Jason told you about that too?" Ben asked.
"Haha! Not really. When I heard about how the number ten team from the qualification round withdraw from the tournament due to serious food poisoning, I already know that it is your deed. Anyway, about your rants, I don't know who is that idiot who has the nerve to diss you, but no matter how much they flexed about their healing magic, they can't change the fact that Shiya who rarely used his healing magic is and will always be the legendary healer that everyone knows and respect." said Chris.
"True though. But it's still quite sad to see how the art of healing is degrading as it is right now." said Ben, who doesn't seem to have any problems with Chris seeing through his mind.
"Ding!"
"Hmm? Maria just sent me a message. Let's see." Chris picked up his phone as he received a notification about Maria's messages.
"Hmm... He said a lady handed him a notice about the quarter-final since she can't find us, and Maria failed to contact Sky... Well, that's for sure. And here he attached the pictures of the notice." said Chris as he read through the message while replying to Maria with a 'noted'.
"Only five people needed from each group to participate in the matches including leader... Tsk... This means Sky needs to be on the field no matter what. Damn, as if I am going to let him fight in such a condition." said Chris rather concerned after he read the notice.
"Yes, it is indeed not a good idea to let him participate in this condition, even if the drug had been cleared, it still needs at least twenty-four hours for him to totally recover. Any plan?" said Ben.
"Well... Five matches... This means that we only need to win three matches, if we manage to win all first three rounds, we can just withdraw from the last two matches letting the opponent team win." said Chris after a short thought.
"I guess that works too." said Ben.
"Luckily this time they allowed us to choose the order of the match, I'll put Sky's name in the fifth position I guess. To ensure the win, the first three will be Maria, Junior and me. While the fourth round... I guess I'll let them to decide it by themselves." said Chris as he typed another message for Maria...
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Night time, Sky is having a weird dream again.
In the dream, he is walking in a forest looking for something, he searched all over the forest but failed to find whatever thing he is looking for, suddenly, he heard a weird growl from behind him, but before he could turn around, he woke up from the dream and found himself lying on the infirmary bed in Ben's mini dimension...

Sky: "Dear readers."
Chris: "Hmm?"
Sky: "This chapter is meant to be released for webnovel.com."
Chris: "Oh! This matter. Yes, if you're reading this chapter on another platform than webnovel.com, know that it's an illegal copy diffused without the Writer's authorization."
Sky: "As what Chris said. Right now, this story is free on the authorized platform, so please read it from authorized platforms as mental support for the writer."
Chris: "Mhm... There are two authorized platforms. One is webnovel.com. And another one is that messy and half-dead Weebly site that she uses for draft and backup... But not recommended."
Sky: "Ah... Haha. Yes, as Chris said."
Chris: "But look out, those scums might change this note to their own website link. So, be cautious.
Sky : "By the way, if the cover page is the old cover page that shows two stickmen, stop reading it, it's cursed and might caused the writer to stop writing."
