Kapitel 23: Chapter 22- Flirt?

Edric alone was the one who could have moved so he brought a cart for the other two classmates to carry them to safety. Eve took the role of informing the authorities about the incident.

It was very uncommon for a beast from the other lands to arrive here and breach the security rune of a labyrinth to attack the raiders. To say it hasn't happened in the past would be a lie but still it was pretty uncommon for a beast to appear here when the situation back in the beast territory is pretty normal.

Despite Edric's insistence, Eve told him to return to the academy and not help her retrieve her fallen comrade's dead bodies.

This incident would surely reach the ears of the headmaster and if possible Eve didn't want Edric and the other two students' names to come out...but well, it was nearly impossible to happen.

If anyone then Alex could go unnoticed by the authorities given he never left the academy for the raid nor the desk manager of the guild knows about Alex's identity since the silver head was wearing a shroud at that time.

Not to talk about, Alex's reputation to be a geek would never raise any suspicion…well, that's what Edric hoped. However,

"He went for a raid, no?!" The head nurse frowned upon seeing Edric, Valarie and especially Alex's condition.

Edric was missing and arm. Valarie was severely injured and bleeding from several spots and the only unconscious one, Alex, had several injuries all over his body.

"Ah-haha…what do you mean, Miss Melissa? He just tripped and fractured his arm."

Not only the head nurse but even Valarie was looking at Edric with an expression that said, 'Really?'

Edric quieted down and allowed Valarie to speak, "Yes ma'am, we all went to a labyrinth and met an unexpected enemy. If not for Alex we might not have returned alive today."

Although Edric has a massive role in weakening the wolf, one couldn't deny that without Alex's intervention and that final strike, everyone might have died in that place.

Melissa took out her glasses and rubbed her eyes in frustration. These young kids are so eager to fight and get stronger that they neglect their recovery and ignore giving proper rest to their bodies.

Alex was discharged in the afternoon and Melissa clearly warned him to not get involved in any kind of combat for the time being…but now, he was lying before her in a far worse condition than earlier.

The other nurses were treating his wounds and preparing medicine in which he would be bathed. However, what worried Melissa is the lasting effect of the injuries.

When one receives an injury the healers use the patient's muscles and skin to cover the wounded area, and the part from which they borrow the substance, regenerate over time. However, there is a massive downside to this method of healing; over abusing one's body, can cause the body to stop regenerating and a very severe disease can born within the patient.

A disease that ceases their regeneration abilities.

There aren't many healers in the world who can actually cure someone using magic solely. Within the domain of humans, there is only one person, the head Priestess of the Cathedral. But naturally, she wouldn't come here to heal a student.

"Miss Melissa…you can save him right?" Edric asked in a hesitant voice.

The person himself was losing an arm and was quite beaten up but seemed more worried about his friend.

Heaving a sigh, she assured him, "We have a good medic team here and Alex hasn't incurred any life threatening wound, so be rest assured."

Getting up she said, "For now, go and meet Anderson in the room next to this. He will give you an arm."

Edric nodded before he got up along with Valarie. The redhead was already healed and was given a few medicines to consume for the next ten days.

Needless to say, Melissa warned them to not get into a battle for a few days. At least.

Once left Melissa turned towards Alex, 'Seriously, how a good and well mannered boy suddenly started craving for battle this much?'

With those thoughts she approached her desk to file some reports, when suddenly, she heard a familiar voice,

"How are you my love?"

With a long exhale escaping her lips Melissa began sorting her files as she greeted, "Grand Master Devon Inkshell. Good evening."

From behind the curtains, a tall green haired man with one eye covered behind a monocle, appeared before Melissa with a beautiful red flower in his hand.

The man didn't get discouraged by her cold greetings as he said, "Are you still working or do you got some time to spend with this helpless person?"

"A grandmaster like you should not belittle yourself like this, Mister Devon." Raising her eyes she asked the man, "What do you need this time, Mister Devon?"

Although she knew that the Commander of the Arcane Order was infatuated by her for some reasons, he surely wouldn't have come here all the way from the Capital to just flirt with her.

If it really was the case then she surely would prohibit him from entering the infirmary next time.

"Aww, my Milli~always so distant." Heaving a sigh, he added, "Well, you are right. I am here to prepare for recruitment."

Melissa was aware of this recruitement procedure but preparation?

"Don't they just pick the students based on their past records? What changed?" Melissa asked.

Devon looked a little exasperated as he said, "That guy Abeth…screwed up the whole student body and now judging them on their past records seems to be unfair on them. So after a thorough hardcore training regime, they will be tested in order to get recruited."

Mellisa raised her brows, "That's a good intiative."

"Isn't it? I came up with the idea. Now, are you falling for me?"

Melissa heaved a sigh, "Look Mister Devon, I have already told before that I am not interested in dating and other things related to romance. I am devoted to my job."

Her answer was the same and the man cannot find a single hestiation even though she rejected one of the most desirable bachelor.

Devon grinned. That's why he love this woman.

"Not today, not tomorrow but surely one day, you will fall for me, Milli~"

Saying so, Devon twirled on his feet and walked out….completely unaware that their conversation was heard by a certain patient.
